Bumping this thread back up...our pool has been updated with several new features to mine other coins as well. A lot of people have posted in the past in regards to lost shares...Are shares really lost if a block was never found?
Both myself and Laviathon personally gave countless btc trying to build the pool in years past. Given the amount of time since our last bitcoin block and the amount of errors being caused within the server, we rebuilt the dB from scratch. If you choose to mine with us again, we will be offering zero pool fees to whomever signs up and mines BTC at our pool up until we reach at least 25ph. Meaning your account will be grandfathered in as a zero fee account permanently as a thank you for helping further decentralize the network. You do have to recreate a username and password to join. Refer to the first post in this thread for instructions to sign up and get mining!

We at bcmonster feel this fork can actually provide some value in the atomic swap space, that is why we have decided to create a pool dedicated to mining this coin only a few months after creating our Komodo pool. It went live a few minutes ago for miners to join.

I just gave all of my receipts for purchase. All my power supplies, my firewall, my cabling, power chords, s9s and t9s and revenue lost per day in the event that these machines were to fail. Revenue lost would covered up until replacements arrive. Didnt want to play the resale game as it could either benefit or hurt me depending on the price of btc at that point in time.

There are companies that insure against damage 100%
There are, but that doesnt mean its a good idea. Insurance per piece like that would cost an insane amount of money. Copvering a facility against total loss makes sense, but trying to cover individual miners seems silly when the miners are not reliable in the first place. Just found coverage for $3k a year to cover $100k in s9s and t9s......I dont know where you are looking but there are insurance companies that do just that....just google high value commercial insurance. Found companies specializing in hard to replace items and could factor in revenue lost into the policy as well. |

Of course, if any of these machines decide to spontaneously combust, I will not have my $ lost.
You wont get insurance that covers individual machines from damage like that....you get a policy that covers the facility itself then you decide case by case if its worth submitting to insurance. There are companies that insure against damage 100% |

I got that email too, but that’s for new orders. My order was placed in January at 5k per U6.

Back in early January I spoke to them to order four U6 kits for my farm. Basically 4x6 bundled together with power supplies. Hotmine emailed me back asking for my shipping address and told me my order was confirmed, and that they would reach back out early February to collect payment and ship. They never did, so I emailed Hotmine again and they delayed it to mid February. It is now the 17th and nothing from hotmine. I dont think I will carry out my order at this point.

Title is self explanatory, trying to get insurance for all of my hardware purchases for my facility since it is growing rapidly. A ton of tech insurance companies are turning me down once I disclose what the purpose of the data center is. Are there any miner friendly insurance companies you recommend?

I too am a grown man with a family and a career of my own. But I am also responsible for $60k in mining hardware. When I ask a question in a pool thread, in a pool I support, I expect both supportive and critical responses. Not wiseass remarks to mine elsewhere. Won’t feed the troll anymore..just clicked ignore.
In my instance, last I mined at Kano was 2015/16 and ramp up was a ton shorter back then.

It was directed to rifleman who seems adamant that this isn’t the right pool for me and I should mine elsewhere...that tone towards potential miners is certainly detrimental to the growth of this pool.

I plan on bringing another 310th here by end of February/beginning of March. (Moving my data center 700 miles away). If all goes well another 700th come April/May. If the block finding frequency continues to diminish and the ramp time doesn’t change, then I may sadly have to point to one of the pools I despise.

Your abrasive tone does nothing but harm this pool you realize that right?

Looked last night/early this morning before it spiked back up.
Also it makes no difference whether hash is moved here incrementally or all at once. 14 days to get your full payout hash is a long long time when you have a bottom line you need to cover monthly.
Once again I said nothing about round difficulty...only ramp up time and the correlation to difficulty. I really find it comical that all you guys are telling me to study up on this. You going to defend this ramp up time until we find less than one block a month?

Guys...not a noob here....my point is, pointed 50 terahashes at the pool when it was at 52ph, it is now in the mid 40s. Anyone with substantial hash has generators for backup as do I. The two week ramp up on major hash is killer as it takes away 25% of your earnings for the first month you mine. If one was to pull out of Kano they’d still get hash, I know that. It’s been that way for years. But what didn’t occur in years was only 1 block solve in half a months time. When you are not seeing the increase in hashrate and seeing an increase in round time, the only logical conclusion is to shorten ramp up/ramp down time. This does not incentivize anyone to point new hash here.
But you're here. What incentivized you? I had no incentives other than a recommendation and my own research into the pool. I don't see the point in incentivizing someone more than the small pool fee and community willing to help and answer questions. The amount of complaining is somewhat turning me off from the forum, but not the pool. If you want to incentivize people, quit discouraging them. I'm not saying you specifically, but there are others. If all the posts are bitchy twats complaining about the blocks, then nobody is going to want to mine here. That's my take, though I've been wrong before. What incentivized me? I personally have had Kano’s help in the past with my pool when it came to malicious miners and I am forever grateful for that. Of all the pool owners he seems to be the most honest/trustworthy and genuinely cares about the overall health of the network. I can not stand merge mining/high fees or the withholding of transaction fees to its miners. That brought me here. Not one complaint about luck/blocks etc just this ramp up ramp down is absurdly long. |

You guys are acting like I am trying to steer people away from this pool when I am doing the opposite. I am merely making suggestions. The same people that complain that this pool may become too small to maintain relevance don’t want to hear varying opinions from their own. I don’t fail to see anything, long term miners, that don’t intend to ramp down ever, don’t have any benefit to this long ramp up time as it is 25% of your btc earned in the first month lost. If you want to gain new miners you have to try new things to maintain relevance. Speaking from experience.
The more hash that joins, the less the ramp up time is. Pretty obvious what the scenario for you is here. And the hash rate hasn’t gone up. So no benefit. |
