MicroBT has a reasonable amount of inventory available to ship now so I wouldn't expect any large diff drops either. 17 would be pretty impressive short term but Oct seems reasonable to hit that number especially if bitmain situation gets sorted out.

I don't see much of a drop coming either. likely another increase but time will tell. Of course after this coming adjustment.

Yea, I'm not sure what version ck is using for our pool and his. I'll look to confirm if it's information we can share publicly.

Shipping depends on their rates as a vendor. I would say as low as $160 up to $250 just for shipping from China to the US. Not counting duties/tariff.

Yea, a solo blockfind would be a lot of bitcoin going to someone else if it's custodial wallet/address.

Just logging on the forum that I had issue with a hashboard dropping off a unit from a T2TZ which is the single tube 30T version.

Symptoms:
Unit would boot and tune to "stock" speed then would drop hashrate and start another cycle with one board missing from UI resulting in about 20th/s in hashrate.

This occurred after updating to the latest FW available on Innosilicon's website after a few days of activity.  

After some troubleshooting I was able to correct the issue by reflashing FW to a older version, details below.

whatminer.com is an official distributor by the name of DJminer I believe. Their inventory doesn't always reflect what's actually available from MircoBT but if there's product that show in stock you will certainly receive it.

I think we can amend our listings to include a brick on it's own. As always special requests can be taken anytime. 

As sustainable business model would help operators. PPS is detrimental to the network imo effectively leasing your hashrate to a pool to do as they wish with it in most cases. For PPLNS to work you need to provide an environment that supports consistency in payout and have a long decay so work isn't lost. Planning for all possible variables actually strengthens PPLNS compared to PPS in reward an with consistency. Obviously you can dismiss me as biased with our SPLNS "+" score on Laurentia Pool. 

If your intent is to win a blockfind "lottery" you're likely fine.

Our server is highly optimized and more efficient than any other pool on market. Full stop.

I would invite everyone to read our whitepaper and note the section on networking which was drafted by -ck with minuscule edits (a few double spaces). We have optimized mining conditions for the user in every avenue and provided a hyper competitive product against any scoring scheme including PPS. Our limited user space is specifically designed to produce optimal coinbase transactions for the group. I would be happy to elaborate more in our own thread but technical questions may have to be differed to -ck which his focus on bitcointalk will likely be his own products and projects.

Mine Farm Buy LLC is to manage clients and our front end while -ck is to manage server, code, payout and is literally the only person we would trust to do so (which other pool operators obviously are malicious and produce loss to their users, ie. changing scoring scheme).

This is a completely separate product and not intended to replace a beloved community pool in ckpool.org which was closed at the sole discretion of -ck himself and after our soft launch. 

Kano is using this thread to promote his own product, in a poor attempt to discredit our hard work and personnel knowingly full well -ck refuses to interact with him due to his condescending, self destructive, alienating nature. 

We have done exceptional work bring our model to market and have very much limited the "BAD risk" that other pools overlook to their users by thoughtful design, experience, and market analysis. Again, making this thread baseless defamation and conjecture, and obviously extremely biased.

Everyone is allowed to post constructive feedback in our own thread. Please note Kano knowingly posted inflammatory, baseless content there to be removed and under the guise of censorship opened this thread which isn't any different. He and all are welcome to join us there, all we ask is people interact with a small sense of courtesy when directing comments specifically at individuals.

Thank you though to Kano for promoting our services for us, hits on our landing page have been highly accelerated of late. Unfortunately this will be last reply here, as hopefully the reasons for this decision are abundantly clear. #mineon

-ck is a partner, you seem to be one to put him on a pedestal just to attempt to bring him down, let alone anyone else you decide to publicly slander. Your comments only continue to prove your issue is with an individual and not our product.

Our pool is live, we're just responsible enough not to dupe miners into losses just to make a show. We're already drafting plans to open with our 66PH to push a blockfind in about 9-10 days then have the group failover to maximize rewards for them through an adjustment period.

I still think if you put all this energy into marketing your own product you'd be more successful with your pool. But you seem want expend that energy to attempt to intimidate and belittle others, even those in your own "camp".

Still I invite you to post and everyone to post in our thread constructive feedback but obviously it's in Kano's best interest here to promote our product as "bad" which is just conjecture and personal opinion due to his disdain for our partner.

Be nice to have some competitive gear back under de minimis. Too bad the quality isn't there on this though.

Defamation and personal attacks will not be allowed in our thread. Feel free to voice constructive concerns there or to us directly.

That said Laurentia Pool is not "bad risk" to any user. This thread should be removed or at minimum re titled.

No investors, we are 100% self funded. Giving us the control to achieve with out inhibition outside of limiting all risk possible to those poised to mine our pool.

-ck was/is the driving catalyst for all previous and current testing.

All our work makes this thread redundant and baseless as it's more aligned to discredit an individual but in place attacks our product.

We've done testnet and mainnet testing and refinement over several weeks and are 100% confident in our product.

I didn't mention working with anyone specifically at this point in time.

Testnet diff should be low enough to mine with small hashrate.

Likely too much buy pressure to go much lower than the 7k you're projecting. Then if I'm wrong buy the dip everyone.

I believe this thread is referred to as defamation and your actions referred to as desperation.

There are zero issues with our code, score, or anything else. If anything laurentia pool is highly optimized for the stratum protocol without need for bloatware that only benefits multi node mining while delivering extremely low latency worldwide.
I would suggest you focus on developing your struggling user base in place of tearing down competition, likely you may receive more reward in heeding this advice and revive your pool.

Though I feel this thread/post should be removed it will serve as great motivation to continue to deliver for the user and for the space where others obviously fail and is the reason the pool exists to begin with.
I do appreciate you giving this opportunity to communicate here as I wouldn't disrupt your pool thread with baseless accusations, mud slinging, and trolling. In that regard if you follow me on twitter, you're way out of your league.

We're more than aware of incompatibility of fw on some asics and communicate to our users as appropriate so they can make the best decisions in their mining venture, and understand that our pool may not be the best choice for their equipment. We also are working on partnerships with fw developers to allow the use of these asics on our pool considering the volume of hashrate we are driving to achieve long term and would like to foster any relationship that would benefit our user base.

Our minimum cadence obviously adjusts in hashrate due to network conditions if you follow our thread or commitment page, it is updated frequently (which we've been getting numerous hits from AUS of late ). As a baseline we plan to be well beyond that mark to make relevant argument to your ranting. We are insured, plan to use funds from fee generation as proof of reserves in case of any errors in or out of our control to safety net our users work in lieu of insurance in the future.

Essentially there is zero information you can provide to us that we haven't accounted, and due to your own self destructive nature we're unlikely to take much notice either. Unless it's another desperate vie for attention like this thread. You're more than welcome to keep harassing and producing inflammatory content. If you feel you're doing the community a service here that's a wonderful soap box to be on when we're already 110% transparent.

We invite anyone with interest in our pool service to reach out at anytime. And if you have a productive thoughtful post for our pool thread Kano, it would likely not get removed.

PS. Your pool has a high fee.
