Yo, just joined up!
Good luck to us all!
Any suggestions for setting Difficulties? I have 2 ASIC Miners and also is it recommended to make separate worker names for them
Difficulty info below, as for worker names, its up to you, it helps if you want to monitor individual miners performance/reliability:
Diff makes no diff (erence).
To understand that in maths terms: if you increase the Diff, you get fewer stales, but each with higher difficulty.
The overall effect, the same total stale diff
The reverse of course is also true, lower Diff means more stales but each with lower difficulty.
The long term effect is almost linear so you wont gain or lose by doing it.
The non-linear effect is bitcoin difficulty changes, but when compared to the time frame of shares, that has almost zero effect.

I was kind of thinking the same thing on the group buy but man that would sure be messy someone trying to handle all those orders and shipping them back out.
I'm sure Phil will be along shortly to update you on the group buy situation with Canaan, its not pretty.  |

It sucks more that they sting you for 30% increase in price if you want to use BTC
The exchange rate they give you is crazy bad, and the excuse that they have to pay high fees compared to how much they expect us to take a hit is unbelievable.

Anyone know when "next distribution" counter normally gets reset? It's been on all zeros since the last on a few days ago.

Perhaps they have had some chargebacks on their Paypal account and its been stopped.

Happens all the time and is usually resolved successfully

OMG! If you want a REALLY good reason to not mine on AntPoo? So we got block 481954 at 08:22:34 UTC It's just been confirmed an hour later with block 481955 by AntPoo I was watching/waiting for the confirm very closely - I even switched up our main bitcoind block size to 998,888 while waiting for this block (it used to be 988,888) The reason? By the time it was an hour waiting for a 481955, our work size was over 17.75BTC OK all good, then what happened? AntPoo gets block 481955, confirming our block 481954 ... but their block is ...... EMPTY!?!?! WTF?!? Who the hell is the retard at AntPoo who runs the pool? That's just unbelievable that they could do anything that stupid  So we're now awaiting whoever is gonna find 481956 - which would be good if it was us since our work is now ... 17.92BTC and still growing Edit: At 09:35:46 still waiting, and now over 18BTC! Edit2: ah well, someone else got 481956, and it was an 18.34 BTC block Kano but if no one will mine on AntPoo then who will confirm the blocks for us??? Lol  We would, because they would all be here |

Seems to be a problem at a large hosting site in Canada
Fibre is down for all of Labrador. Hence a bit of a droop in the hashrate all over I think  |

But if the majority, say 90% of all pools switched to 2x you would too right? Because isn't that the way Bitcoin works?
That is not the way bitcoin works. I will evaluate what happens to core as an entity according to the userbase and economic majority after an extended period after the 2x fork. More hashrate does NOT guarantee that everyone follows, it just means that more mining has followed. We shall see... EDIT: By the way, I should add - I wouldn't be so sure that 90% will follow the 2x chain regardless of what's been said and signed. I don't know either way, nor do I have a stake in it. I was just interested in the concept, because I understood that is exactly what happened on Aug 1st with BCH, the majority stayed with core and segwit and a minority of vested interest miners and pools took off on their own, they became the lesser fork and therefore didn't become the "official" bitcoin, just an ALT. Will that not happen again? That bitcoin becomes whatever the vast majority is mining, that's what IS bitcoin if that happens, the economics will follow wherever the transactions are being verified. So I was just curious, would you follow the majority like you and most of the other pools did at the beginning of this month or would you stay on the minority fork just because its core? |

Hundreds of petahash are thrown around following random chains in Chinese pools and we can't even stay above 100TH even at zero fee.
Oh well maybe if they all run off when 2x comes along, we'll be considered a big pool since we'll remain on the core chain.

I have a question,
How much would I make if I join your pool with one Antminer S9?
cheers
Depends what speed your S9 runs at. For 13.5TH, aprox $440 per month and that's before electricity costs. Until the difficulty goes up, or the price of BTC goes down. Best to think of it per hour, which is $0.6128, because difficulty adjusts roughly every 12 days or so. |

You may be better off contacting bitcoinwarranty.com bitmainwarranty.com you will have to pay, but they have repair center in the Ukraine and Russia. Or you could send it to the US repair center. Open a ticket with them on the web site and see what they suggest. Edited for dumbass error |

Only if your close to retail is 50%+ more I'm not saying they can't make a profit on their sales, or that if you want to buy one at that price its your prerogative, but I think your close to retail. isn't really that close. |

postimg.org is also a good free site I've used for years. You can either open an account and manage your images or just upload and get a link with no account. Clean interface without intrusive ads.

You don't get it  I used a binary converter We don't get it because the converter you used is broken At best, that bin reversed to ascii comes out to: 6¹¢•š©y¬¥iy¥ Bingo  |
