A limit to hash power at diff 1 from an IP address works for gpus.
IPV6 gives every person on earth quadrillions of their own IP addresses. You'd have to limit it to a subnet for IPV6... |

Mining is an area I understand very little of, but I'm surprised it wasn't foreseen that behemoths like Bitmain would rise and something wasn't done to attempt to address it before it happened.
Satoshi predicted it. He simply said people should be nice and hold off doing the inevitable... The rest of us predicted it too but there isn't actually anything we could do to "address" it as you have said. Bitcoin is a diffuse collaborative and there are no weapons to defend us against transient centralisation of power and hashrate. Proof of work will inevitably ALWAYS have some element of this happening at regular intervals. Changing the proof of work algorithm will NOT, as the article said, make any difference at all; a new asic arms race will simply replace the old one. Probably the biggest mistake everyone makes is buying stuff off bitmain only to find themselves competing against bitmain... duh. |

Yes it's a good article and it's accurate. What's frustrating for those of us that lived through the conversion of bitcoin from CPU to ASIC is that the rules and issues have never changed, and we see the same mistakes being made over and over by both new manufacturers and newcomers into the game trying to capitalise on a market they think they understand. Bitmain have got the mining world by the balls and that is not going to change by anyone trying to take them on by the same rules they play by. I've been warning people since the first ASICs got announced but alas no one listened, and then I just gave up trying to warn them... No one seemed to want to believe me and for whatever reason very few every considered consulting me despite my obvious position in the mining world.

I pushed a more conservative firmware update this time with a slightly lower speed for balanced mode due to complaints of high power and fanspeeds from those entering summer, and more tightly controlled temperatures for optimal minimum fanspeed.
It should be version t1_20180512_024327 if you check for an update from the web interface.
Running fine for 19hours now  Great, thanks for the feedback  |

No, it's not if you know what you are doing.
All three hash boards have a separate power input.
You power one hash board and controller board with the first psu.
You power two hash boards with the second psu.
And it is not my recommendation.
This is my recommendation.
Just get rid of using the fucking 110V mains voltage and have an 220V outlet circuit installed.
And buy only one good PSU.
I did not say it was your recommendation, I saw it was Halong's. Yours makes much more sense though... |

@BlockTangle
By the way, do you realise the fact that the Halong/MyRig 1600W power supply units do not work in the 110-120V mains voltage systems ?
Hagg, per the HM website in the FAQ's: "Q. I have 110v supply at home, is this suitable? A. Not really. Miners operate more efficiently with 220-240v and mining farms step down their own electricity supply to 220-240v. If you have 110v supply you will either need to purchase a 1600W PSU rated for 110v from an alternative source, use two of our 1600W PSUs for each miner, or arrange the voltage supply." I bought 2 PSUs per miner (5 miners and 10 PSUs). Would 2 HM PSUs per miner do the trick? Thank you! If they say that two Halong Mining psus will do the job, then it should be ok. I haven't seen the technical specifications label for the Halong Mining psu. That's an odd recommendation. The power rails are connected between the chains so you'd end up having two PSUs connected to the one rail; most PSUs don't like you doing that to them... |

I would like to buy a spare PSU. What are the specs of the PSU and where can I buy one? Halong should sell separate PSUs...
1680W 92% efficiency (220+V). MyRig are the ones who sell them. |

For those keeping track of the latest firmware updates, I've pushed a slightly improved version which is designed to more reliably keep all chains up and running, and to fix a small timekeeping bug which sometimes showed the miners up for 100 days. The version number is t1_20180511_034450, just check for an update from the interface.
Everything was messed up after this firmware update. I had to run autotune again Edit: this firmware is bugged as hell. Even after autotune if you reboot, temps are going crazy 2cards at 79c while the other one at 50. fan at 100% in efficienty had to rollback to 0506 to get back to normal Thanks for the feedback. Will roll back and investigate. |

First block for me too since pointing our 3 T1's here. Does anyone know where I can find more payout info for CK? Our stats at: http://ckpool.org/blocks/521726.confirmedare: "1FLhot6HnyaUTQ6a6Ms6gzuswt2kXBtCVZ": 6396126417.26, Do we all get paid once the block hits X amount of confirmations (I've not received anything yet) or do us new miners not get paid till the pool hits 2 blocks? i'm showing up 16th position for current hash power at: http://ckpool.org/#/minersany info totally appreciated, thanks so much all! You did not get a payout. In the block summary you linked above your address is listed under "postponed", not under "payouts". It means you haven't accumulated enough shares to have gotten a payout with this block. However those shares are now added to your total for the next block in addition to your current running total. If you had gotten a payout you would have received it immediately when the block was found as payouts are mined directly to peoples' wallets. |

Welcome back Genie. Your hashrate is definitely noticed. Hope you can stick around |

@ck, I am a little confused. Not complaining, just trying to understand.
I've changed my mining address around a bit, and for the first time noticed one of my older addresses was deferred.
However, it shows in the top 100 and I thought that the top 100 miners would be paid, and 50 of the smaller deferred payments as well.
33V..Jo8 in position 26 was paid
1Q3..MHD in position 90 was paid
1N9..Ype in position 77 was deferred
So does the worker listing shift around after a block is paid and that is why 1N9 now shows in the top 100 and did not receive a payout from this last block?
~nh
If you're in a deferred position when a block is found, the HERP is added to the next round - and it can effectively double the herp by doing so. If you are in the top 100 with the added herp the next time around you're guaranteed to get paid. If not, you will be in the interleaved group. All of this shows you are much better off sticking to the one address. You'll get paid more regularly and are more likely to get the full payout with each block find. Additionally it means other miners get a look in sooner so it is nice manners to do so. |

Woohoo! And with that block, I'm now in the payment section. I've been mining here since late December, 2017, starting with 4 2Pacs, and added 2 Terminus 808s recently.
All these people with their Terahashes and Petahashes are really stealing my thunder. Haha. I welcome them, though, since that means more blocks more often.
If I'm presently in the payment section, could I get bumped out? I'm not in the top 100 fastest miners, so I must have been added to the payout section because of the number of postponements.
Congrats. You'd never get a payout in many other pools with that hashrate. If you're in the payment section then you're due for a payout next block we find and then you'll go back into the postponed group till your turn comes around again. |

Finally .....that was a long expensive nightmare block that had 2 diff adjustments for near 15%...
Less than 200% is no nightmare block. They happen about 1/3 of the time. The worst block I can recall since being in bitcoin mining is deepbit in 2011 having a block that was 1800% if I remember correctly. There are others at 800 and 1100% in recent times too. |

I got 13x more s9 and 14x dragons arrive Wednesday. So my 740 should go up to 1.14p Providing my hot room can get all of the additional air out! The walls n roof are already getting close to exploding lol. Please don't burn your place down but by all means mine here |

Hi All,
im new here,
About to add 0.4 Ph/s
Still reading a bit the topic,
Probably soon i join.
You would be most welcome. |

So what is the last firmware now?
t1_20180506_023941.swu Checking from the web interface will always give you the latest stable release. |

I've added a passthrough in mainland China as well now. If you're behind the GFW, please try cn.ckpool.org:443 I've added the information to the home page.
