... That reminds of a question I wanted to ask you Kano. When will you open an Ethereum Pool for us? Lol.  Probably never, I hate being part of a scam - in any way at all. ... and I certainly don't want to make any money out of a scam. I've yet to find an alt-coin that isn't ... if you think it isn't, it just means you don't know enough about the coin  It might be a scam, but I can make $300 plus a week with a few video cards and minimal power currently, so I'll continue to mine and sell it for BTC while its worth money. |

I hate I have to wait till the end of August to get my next miner  I want to get back to my .01- payouts and not this .007 (I don't CARE that my payouts are James Bonds!) How much hash do you have now? Right now about 37TH give or take a 1-3TH depending on if I fire up the S5's. But I haven't been due to summer heat so I just run two S7's and two S9's. |

Man I love the luck in this pool but since I started my payments have almost been halved with the same hash rate |

Cobramining.temp LOL! WOOT

thinkin about throwing an s7 to this pool later tonight, hope thats ok and best of luck 2 u all!!
I don't see why not. I run two S9's two S7's and 3 S5's. I purchased another s9 which will be shipping August 25th and so I will probably take offline the S5's once I add the new S9. |

Hmm, you can now purchase Bitmain S9's with Litecoin's:
1113 USD ( 0.421 BTC; 30.426 LTC )

Why so many orphaned blocks all of a sudden?
Read the previous 2 pages ... '2' is so many? The previous was last December. 2 in a month and the last one was December, yes I would consider that 'so many' all things considered since I have been mining that was why I asked. I then went back and read the previous pages so I got my answer. |

... a simple point to resolve that this thread seems to every other day become half a page of quotes of (the same) posts I keep deleting ... I'll now start deleting replies to those posts also ... They're pointless since it's page after page of the same thing over and over again. Meanwhile Iceland ... nice place, hideously expensive Everything is literally twice the price of just about anywhere else on the planet ... That is because all the extremely cheap geothermal power there that houses huge bitcoin farms, so the people that have those are super rich. Anyone visiting gets visitor prices, all the locals get stuff half the price |

Woot! Bitmain had s9's for sale for .413 so I grabbed my third one! Here comes 50(ish)Th's  |

Anyone know why my S9's would be reporting half the hast rate or so they should have?
Miner.2r9 12.495k 3s 1,206 10,517,520 14.43THs 3m 58s 0.402% 0.017% 8.32THs
Miner.1r9 10.531k 0s 1,076 10,021,526 14.82THs 3m 58s 0.729% 0.016% 8.26THs
While the Miner(s) says:
Elapsed GH/S(RT) GH/S(avg)
5m59s 13,645.36 12,619.81
Well we probably should let Kano answer this but I think he is traveling now. Your Share Rate is the hash rate for your less than four minutes. Your Hash Rate, *I think*, is your portion of the shift your submitting shares to. It should reach your real hash rate either when you mine a full shift or you reach your 5Nd. Yeah I probably shouldn't of posted that because my hash rate had dropped and it was at those speeds after 36 days. I had just rebooted them to see if that would reset them to the normal hash rate, which usually matches. Normally I run around 39-40 TH but I was down in the 20's and was wondering why it was reporting 8TH on Kano and 113.5 on the miners, so a reboot was the next troubleshooting step. |

The passthru dropped everyone again at 19:23 so there was a full failover+failback for everyone on stratum.kano.is
This was different to the network 'maintenance' before, so I've pushed an update into the passthru and restarted it again at 19:47 UTC
Hash rate has almost recovered now.
Another update? Down again  |
|

|
|
Is Kano.space having this issue? Maybe I should point my primary to that.
|

There was 'urgent network' maintenance on the main backend server's backbone network.
This caused a full disconnect for the passthru (startum.kano.is) and a lot of the miners on the nodes also disconnected,
This occurred at 18:15 UTC for 6 minutes.
This was a failover, as expected, for those miners, but they've all failed back now.
The hash rate takes a while to catch back up (up to 5 minutes) since the miner failover code waits that long to switch back.
Hash rate is (now) almost back to normal.
Apparently it has failed again...? |

I'm all failed-over. Anyone else? Back again.  Yeah I did, came in from doing some yard work cause I heard a bunch of beeping. Sat down and it stopped lol. Thought my internet had gone down at first. |

See  Even here I get different opinions! I also talked to the Ledger support and they told me it works just like any other wallet, that was why I had the funds sent there, but it sounds like they might not. Coinbase say's specifically to not have mining rewards sent to their address, at least somewhere it says it ( I found where, it is the ETHEREUM Wallet Address that say's "Warning: Do not send ETH mining rewards or ETC directly to this address") because when I first started I was going to use them and that is what prompted me to get the Ledger. So it looks like I could use Coinbase as the destination for the mining rewards from here. But for now I think for now I am going to use JAXX and see how that works as they support pretty much every currency and I have the keys to it and passphrase et cetera. I love hearing all the information on the subject guys, even if it confuses me more, still good stuff to know! To Exchange or not to Exchange, THAT is the question! |

It's ok to send it to an Exchange, well I'm my case it is Volabit ( not sure if it's considered an exchange). I just let the BTC accumulate there until I get like a 0.5 or 1 BTC and then I transfer them to the hardware wallet (if I don't sell them right there and then). I think it is completely fine just don't keep too much BTC there, I personally don't let it go over 1 BTC. For me Volabit works the best, I like the page layout, notifications and they charge me barely anything for pulling my BTC out. I've never had a problem with any of the transfers from them, and it Has been always very quick for me! I'm a little confused, why don't you just have the mining rewards go straight to your hardware wallet? -Tamerz That is what we were talking about. I have, had, all my winnings for BTC going to my Ledger Nano S. After that I usually sent the BTC to the exchange, but my transaction fee kept going up. The last time I got $60 or so bucks in coins (4-5 payouts worth for me) I went to send it to the exchange and the Nano wanted over $15 to send $60 bucks worth of bitcoin! (And that was on the cheapest Low Priority one) So I did a custom one and selected 100 Satashoi's but that ended up beeing too low and no miner picked it up to confirm it so it was stuck. So I used a transaction accelerator and it worked. But ultimately the issue is, where to send mined rewards from here to that is the safest & cheapest to either keep or use on an exchange. He was asking why I don't have my rewards sent to my exchange and I was saying that everything I have read said not to have rewards sent to exchanges but to a wallet first, then to an exchange. Even the moderators at the exchange I use said to do it that way. So that is the issue |

Can anyone answer a couple of questions for me? I have my payments from here sent to my Ledger Nano S and then I send those funds to the exchange I use. The transaction fee continues to grow every time I send funds from my nano to the exchange. For a 60 dollar transaction it is up to almost 15 bucks to send to the exchange. Why is that transaction fee continuing to grow every time I send funds to the exchange?
The other question is, what happens if I select a custom transaction fee and I send it with the minimum satochies (however you spell them)? I tried it and set it at the minimum, which was 100. What happens if I get no confirmations on that transaction? Does it eventually come back to my Nano S?
Thanks!
And grats on all the blocks!
It's because the transaction fee is denominated in btc/kb and btc price has been going up. The reason is your $60 is made up of many small transactions which take up more byes. I would just have the funds sent directly from Kano to the exchange, that way the TX fees are the exchange's problem - and most charge only one small fee to send. I.E. btc-e charges 0.001 (~$2) for withdrawals. So anyone earning small payouts could just direct all the payouts to their btc-e account and then withdraw in one lump payment from btc-e for $2. Or alternatively if you don't need the coins just let them keep building up until either there are very few transactions in the pool (and you can send them with a very low transaction fee) or until something is decided about increasing block size / segwit at which time transaction fees will probably go down. I thought about having them sent to the Exchange, but everything I have read and people I have talked to have said not to do that so I haven't done that. |
