Yes, you are correct, it is a switch.  Ok, good to know, I'll go pick up another one, thanks.


You bolded the wrong part of my quote, it's the 240 volt that's the kicker.  KAW is only 120v, and I have 2 of them also.  

For example, I found this 240v one which I could use, but it's $90 and I'd have to split open my nice an tidy 10ga cable and mount the meter to the wall, not sure it's worth all that.

My A6 is here more than anywhere and it never has any connectivity issues, other than when the pool itself had some that Johnny posted about like a week ago.
Current run pointed here is 12h 19m no failovers.

The ethernet feed to that location is one that is already coming off a 6 port hub, and I don't think you can hub off another hub so no dice.  Not to worry, next laundry room mine will have more connectivity.


Necro post much?  You quoted a 5 year old post from this thread without moving the conversation along.

Thanks!  Unfortunately my node crashed and the blockchain is re-syncing so my coins are unavailable until that finishes.

Why?  Because when I built that computer Vista was the newest OS and I stuck with XP, and I stuck with that machine for years and years since.

Windows 10?  Never, never never ever.  I would rather not own a home computer than use Windows 10.

Linux will be my next OS.

We already don't have enough full nodes, I wonder how many of the ones we do have are run on a XP box?  Maybe not too many as I see that most nodes have upgraded to 0.12.x already.

Guess the hack was pretty bad, they are still cleaning up.  Good service, I will still use it!

I neglected to clarify that I could not find an affordable meter for 240volt US plug style that is cheap, I did find a few (like you linked) for Euro-style plugs.

I don't know, Rich, the swings are way too drastic and timed too well to be purely variance.  I think we are seeing orchestrated powering on and off of large amounts of miners, probably as Phil has mentioned these are big farms of old tech that gets turned on with cheap power and then turned off so as not to effect overall diff.

Variance for small swings for sure, but I don't think this is variance.

Another view showing the side by side setup better.  Unfortunately I can only run one miner at a time at this location because I only have one ethernet connection here, so when it's hot I run the S5 but slide it back so that it exhausts out the wall vent.  R-Pi controller draws 2.6 watts, wish they made an inexpensive meter for the 240v line, all I could find were in-line devices that cost on the order of $100.  I am moving next month and will have a new laundry room to turn into a home mining area.  

Unfortunatelly we're going to see all the nodes that are run on XP machines start to drop off the map.

We all have jobs, that's nothing unique on your part.  It only takes 15 seconds to look at a miner monitor on your computer or phone (like cryptoglance, for example) and see what your miner is doing.  There's also a kano ckpool app for the phone that can alert you if hash rate drops, for example, as well as Zach's site mentioned above.  All of these are free, but donations are encouraged.

It's been happening for months.  Somewhere someone has a couple hundred PH that they turn on and off, usually timed with difficulty adjustments so as not to add to the diff adjustment.

Sweet, those two were mine.  I had an error when I initially registered using your link so I wasn't sure you would get credit, glad you did!

Huge congrats, well timed rental and well done on the block solve.  Thanks for getting us all paid.


Love the promos!  My Avalon6 was solo a few days but she's back here now until the diff change.  Got a little coin at NH still so will get a rental going soon.  Let's get another BravoBlock!

The hash rate reported by the site is based on shares submitted to the pool.  The pool has a minimum difficulty share it will accept.  When you mine with "slow" miners (like usb sticks or the U3, for example) then the number of shares submitted to the pool per unit of time are not very constant, so the pool reports your hashrate fluctuating from 0 to whatever.

I asked a similar question before and Dr H replied:

Nearing 200% luck for this one, yea a bit long but nothing terrible.  Need to toss a few large rentals this way and bust it!

The thing is, it can't be the same hardware since November, because we've had a lot of significant network growth since then.  Whoever is turning it on and off sure has the timing down pat, looks like we'll be almost dead level this adjustment.

Well it obviously lost connection to kano.is and since you weren't paying attention it's been mining to a fail-over or not mining at all.  If it were submitting shares here you'd of been paid.  If you weren't paying attention whether it was mining or not how can you know it's been "running and online the whole time"?  Maybe you ought to pay attention.

I understand what the arrows are for and how they are supposed to work, but they never have worked for me.  Last time I looked there were 4 arrows showing green or red for users down around the middle of the pack, all the others were gray.  I've never seen it like your screen grab.

Instantaneously we're sitting at like -4%.



And it keeps trending down.  How low can you go, how low can you go?  Let's do the difficulty limbo!

You can right-click on the title back of the command line window, select 'Properties', then 'Layout' and set the window size.  CMD will remember this size and next time you open a command line window it will be the proper size.  You can set the buffer size here, too.  I use a width of 100 for widescreen cgminer views.

I've noticed that the little trending arrows only seem to work for about 3 or 4 people at a time.  I mean, our positioning is all random so I'm not sure what they are even for, maybe just for fun?  Any way, just pointing out that 90% of them are just gray and not doing anything.
