Hello everyone,
I am having trouble setting up my gekko science terminus r606. I have downloaded and installed the drivers, extracted cgminer to folder. Using ckpool and atom wallet. When I try to exe. cgminer from cmd prompt, with my wallet address and password it says cgminer.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Could someone please help me with this . It is driving me crazy. Thank you in advance!
are you putting the full path of the cgminer.exe in your command prompt? Myself, I just edit the cgminer.exe text and create multiple versions for various speeds and pools and then just double click the cgminer.exe and run it that ways. |

In my opinion, I think 300 collectible coins in total are enough. Let's me explain why I choose that figure.
(1) 50 or 100 coins are very limited, and the forum has so many prominent users as well as staffs. The limitation on 50 or 100 will prevent good users to get them. If we look at BPIP, most merited profile page, most of users in top 50 or even in top 100 are very prominent users. There are very little new users get spots in top-50 or top-100.
(2) 300 will give opportunities to good users, who have been here long enough to have significant contributions, but neighther have had long history enough nor significant contributions to be competitive compared to extremely prominent users and staffs.
(3) Such collectible coins (if new users can get) will play as good proof of motivation, and newbies will be inspired from it.
Looking at the poll result no one wants it as limited as 50 coins, and I can understand that. Although, about the idea with newbies earning these coins I don't think that's what purpose these coins are suppose to represent. I think the plaque idea of earned merit could be more suitable for that. And limit of 300?? there are thousands of forum members......
They're meant to be rewarded to users who have contributed greatly to the forum while also going to active users. Therefore, it would seem unfair to give these to users who are just established etc. I feel anyone who has contributed greatly to the forum or who is an historical figure on the forum should get a coin. And I don't know why forum should give perconalized certificate, with shipping data it's a good way to deanon someone :0 Other questions it's not important to much for me.
If I can find a manufacturer which is willing to ship the products direct at least I won't have to deal with shipping issues. Ideally, I don't want to be handling the delivery information or the process. Personal certificates would likely be appointed to usernames rather than names though. Upon receiving their items users could then show off their items without exposing their identity. I think this is the biggest issue considering the nature of Bitcoin, and I feel like a lot of prominent users on the forum won't want to give out their information, and then the whole project falls flat on its face as our 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices of users might not want the coins, because of the mentioned issues. well from reading the above, this pretty much rules out anyone that has joined in the past few years as I get the feeling those of us that have been around since 2017/2018 are not to be considered as being able to get one of these. |

I would like to see as many as possible (so I have a chance of getting one!) I am fine with any of the artists - have seen coins from all of them and they all do great jobs. I like the idea of funded ones but would buy one unfunded as well.

@neutralLTC by accident I set LTC to settle in BTC - I am currently only mining LTC on Poolin, if I start to mine BTC will the LTC to BTC balance that is held be combined with the BTC I mine? or do I need to turn the LTC back to settle in BTC to get that amount being held?

Pay Per Share payouts are calculated per each difficulty period. So PPS Pools payout less each difficulty period when difficulty increases or more if difficulty decreases, which is very rare. PPS does not change each day.
So if the last difficulty period increased by 6% then that would account for the 6% decrease in payout. Difficulty gets recalculated approximately every two weeks.
correct - was trying to be sarcastic, it failed - i will remove it. |

exactly, I get the whole PPS thing - but how they hell can their average be what it is? 154 blocks with a 700 ph/s pool is astronomical good luck - as everyone else is also pointing out.
|
|
|
|
|
but my point is this - how many blocks of they actually found? 50? 60? 150? if it really is 150, the set amount should be going up, not down. its dropped almost 6% in two weeks. If they are doing this well, I would think it would be higher but I do understand that with PPS it is just the set amount

So the block history and btc earned reflected on novablocks history page is wrong? Who found the blocks listed on the site then?
anyone compare where the payments went that btc.com shows for the pool vs the ones that btc.com shows as not novablocks? I may do this when I get home.
Hard to do much of a review or in depth comparison if the data being provided is inaccurate.

maybe i did the math wrong? check https://novablock.com/space/blockit reports in PH/s so the formula I did was simply (reward(block+transaction) divided by PH/s) then divided that by 1000 - to convert PH/s to TH/s I have been up for neigh on 24 hours so maybe I made a mistake? example: on 8/14 - they found 3 blocks so total reward was 38.39569278 BTC - I divided that by 696.23 so: ((38.39569278/696.23)/1000). |

I doubt very much they have luck that good. I am tired and it is late but 3 blocks a day for 50 days when they should not make 2 blocks a day means they are over 150% luck for 150 blocks . So I suspect the stats are wrong...
if so, then they are being reported wrong, I simply exported the history page. 5 days were no blocks. |

Their average from 8/14 to 10/01 is just over 3 blocks per day. (I am limiting to 10/1 as that is the last date showing on history page) also worth noting is that the following dates: 8/26, 9/4, 9/15, 9/16 and 9/30 are not on the history page - I would assume that means the pool found no blocks for these days - Please verify. Anyways, my view on this is as follows: Note: For all my calculations I am going to apply the daily average hashrate to the 5 days where no blocks were found. The pool has found 151 blocks in the 49 day long period of 8/14 to 10/1, the total hashrate for this period is approximately 109,287.73 PH/s or 109,287,730 TH/s and the pool has collected 1,925.732394 BTC. This would work out to an average of BTC to TH/s ratio of of .00005611 and this is the payment I would expect (minus pool fee) if this were a PPLNS pool. Unfortunately, the price to pay with being part of a PPS pool is that you may end up giving up the majority of the earned reward. But it can work both ways - use the 5 days where no blocks were found. Miners are still paid for those days. So, if a pool has a run of bad luck, the miners will be safe from losses. And if the pool has a good luck streak, the pool wins and most likely ups the reward amount to compensate. If a pool is lucky then the miners are losing out, and if the luck is terrible, the pool loses - though the pool takes the risk of going broke if the terrible luck persists which is entirely possible - having occurred with numerous pools in the past - and I believe this is why Kano always asks a PPS pool how much reserves they have. Because of this, I firmly believe that PPLNS is the best payment method. But because my reserves are low (I really gotta stop buying new equipment) and I need to make a monthly amount, I do use some PPS pools. If my reserves were sufficient to weather the ramp up or if Kanos pool was not 140-150 day to ramp up, I would have all my miners there. And that is why I am always willing to try different PPS pools to see which is most beneficial. If for any reason, my calculations are wrong or am I completely off base with my above assumptions, please do correct me.  |

also could you introduce a auto refresh feature on the workers dashboard page, as i have to refresh it manually to see the current hash rate of my workers...
Mine auto-refreshes in what seems like 30 second increments. and a request on the pool stats could you put a marker on the graph / timeline to denote when blocks are found...
I second this. |

15 days in and here are my results - so far NovaBlock is more profitable but just by a small margin. Will need to also consider there is currently no fee for my mining on NovaBlock, add in NovaBlocks 2.5% fee and consider ViaBTC's merged mining and ViaBTC would be ahead. I will provide 2 more comparisons and then will provide an actual more in depth review of their site as well as the app. I will state that both app and website are functioning and neither are difficult to navigate.  |

I have a Terminus R606 pointing at ck's solo pool - If I hit a block I will do some sort of raffle/drawing to give away 1 BTC  |

... To anyone attending WDMS in Frankfurt this year, the entire NovaBlock team will be attending, please send us a PM on here and we can try to arrange a meet up. Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming to our pool. I would love to go but I doubt I will be - I wish they would hold one of these things in the US - much easier for me to get the time to attend. |

anyone know what the current ramp up time for Kano.is is please?
Help->Payouts Thank you! Appreciated But SNAP!! 5 month ramp up time? If correct, doesn't sound like i would get much Full Hash time, in time before the halving...... guess it has its pros, and cons. if the pool size increased greater than the difficulty then it could become less time. |

anyone know what the current ramp up time for Kano.is is please?
https://kano.is/index.php?k=payoutcurrently: The pool hash rate for the last day is roughly 20.43PHs which means the 5Nd 'ramp' is roughly 155days 5hrs. |
