Any additional option ?
such as? LPM is as simple as that, LPM only - if you want to adjust freq and such, that still has to be done the same way as it was done before and is also dependent upon which firmware you install prior to the LPM update. |

UP ! Bitmain Release new firmware for S9I / S9J and say :
"Add support for low power mode, reduce power consumption."
Any people try it ?
I have tried it on both the S9i and S9j and have zero issues so far. they are hashing same as before - I do not have a way to measure power consumption though other than waiting for the months bill to see if it drops. |

One advantage of focusing on puzzle transactions is that finding (and taking) those funds presents no moral dilemma. It's meant to be a reward.
please clarify - how is finding/taking funds (essentially stealing) found to have no moral dilemma? and why would stealing be a reward? or am I misunderstanding and there is no stealing being done and these are just free funds floating out there? The whole point of a puzzle transaction is that someone will solve it. The person who created the puzzle has donated those funds, and intends for the winner to claim them. Kind of like hiding a wad of bank notes in a local park, and publicly announcing clues on how to locate them. ok got it - you are not brute forcing an unknown person's account but one specifically set up for this challenge. |

finally figured out what the issue was with the disconnects... for some reason, Awesomeminer was trying to do profit switching on my ASIC's so it would keep jumping them from one pool to the next.
Not sure why it was trying to apply profit switching to my ASIC's but after finding the setting and turning it off, my miners have not disconnected.

awesome! I was out for a week traveling to Washington and Oregon and we had 2 blocks! let's end this month with a bang and get a good streak going - November needs a few more blocks!

I have 5 S9's 13.5 TH/s versions running LPM firmware on slush and they are averaging 69 TH/s combined

Yea we need someone to make a damn miner that is actual cost effective already. You have to be braindead to be spending $3000 for a t3 or $1200++ after the tariff and taxes for a s15 etc. Buying a miner with a HOPE that the market will go up and you will profit is a risky way of doing business. This ROI numbers are getting so ridiculous anymore I can't imagine anyone in the state residential wise is buying now.
agreed! |

nice, it never gets cold here for something like this, i get lucky enough that I can shut off the ac unit that feeds the room my miners are in -lol that saves me some electricity

woohoo a block! now if only I was not ramping back up  I lost 4 days so only on day 4 now of ramping back up. Ouch! Well, at least you got some rewards on the way down, and if it ever happens again, you'll get some more ramp-down rewards. Yay for PPLNS! Newly unemployed people generally like it when they get those withheld paychecks! That's how I like to think of PPLNS even though it's technically just an average your contribution over the past 5Nd. Your contribution drops, so does your reward. yea those 4 days were rough, I think my miners put in like 6 or 7 shifts total for the 4 days. |

1.5 days no disconnects. turned on awesome miner, miner 3 disconnected/reconnected twice, miner 1 and 4 disconnected/reconnected once and 2 disconnected/reconnected 5 times --- miner 3 did not disconnect/reconnect --- all within about a 10 minute window.
I am running 4 separate instances/licences of awesome miner and this is the only one giving me issues. I plan to delete the program - clear the config files - and reinstall and see if it remains. I must have tweaked something I should not have tweaked.

The M10s that i got from minefarmbuy has been running since yesterday. Finally broke the 100TH/s wall. Running at around 119 now  Mine onnice! mine on! |

my guess is that it has something to do with the Awesome Miner software - I shut it off for nearly 3/4 of a day and zero disconnects - average hash rate is higher even - over 70 rather than 68-69. I turn Awesome Miner on and had 3 of the 5 disconnect within 5 mins. The program should not have that effect but it seems to be - unless I can find another cause.
Keep looking, but keep us posted as well. I use Awesome Miner on over 100 S9s with little problems. I do see the occasional disconnect, but nothing serious. I have 4 copies of awesome miner (the 10 rig versions) as I have them in different locations on different networks. and none of my other ones are having these issues. I look at the time AM was running and realized I have over a hundred shifts of zero where my miner was running but not connected to Kano - so I have had to ramp back up a little - last payout was about half of what it normally is. Luckily they did fail over to another pool. |

Yep, they don't care about it. I consider it money for the "cause"...it doesn't take this long to exchange those name coins...
exactly. they should just remove it and eliminate the thought anyone might have of getting the merged mining reward. |

They obviously don't feel it's that big of a bother to sell them and pay us off.
maybe but either way it is still owed to the miners. I am sure if any other pool was to owe you, you would not dismiss it. it is not about the amount, it is about the principle. They could at least answer as to why they have not. edit: and it had reached $10 not $13 at the time they stopped paying. When I asked them directly this was the response: (me)
In my reward History it shows NMC - but even though it shows i have a scoring hash rate, it shows zero as my reward for the merged mining. when will this screen accurately display what we are earning and achieving for the NMC?
(Slush)
we hope it will be processed as soon as possible. Your Namecoin rewards will be then added to your usual BTC rewards according to the exchange rate.
(Slush)
(me)
The exchange rate at what time though? The time the reward was earned? Or the rate at the time you Figure it out to make it work?
Hello,
your reward will be calculated according to the exchange rate at the time we exchange NMC to BTC.
We are doing our best to solve the difficulties as soon as possible.
(me)
According to the rewards page - you havent exchanged any since January...
(Slush)
Hello,
that is right, the last exchange from NMC to BTC has been made in January. We hope we can solve the exchange difficulties as soon as possible to be able to give you the reward from the merged mining.
Because we need to exchange NMC into BTC to be able to give you the reward and we are currently experiencing some difficulties with the exchange it takes a while before the rewards gets processed.
For technical reasons we process the NMC rewards only every few weeks to months.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
(me)
What exchange are you using? Many exchanges are buying/selling NMC without issue. And when the exchange issue is corrected at what price will we be paid? Current or price as it was at time or reward?
(Slush)
Thank you for your understanding
basically blaming the exchange(s) they were attempting to use... |

Don't believe they've sold whatever NMC they've accumulated so it would be at today's price. Literally everyone's arguing over a few bucks at most.
yes what is a few bucks now - but was not a few bucks when they stopped paying out, it as $13 per NMC Coin. if I recall it was 6,675 blocks when I posted above and even more now with a reward of 12.5 NMC per block and at current NMC price of .49982 - this is still $41.7k - spread out to everyone, yea it is a few bucks - that is not the point. People quit pools and join others over a .1% fee which is also only pennies in the big scheme of things. |

Not just 2% fee as one of the highest in market but withholding rewards now?
They have held back the NMC rewards since January... at that time - if I recall correctly - NMC was worth $13 each - it has dropped now so when they do payout, is it at the value when they should have issued it? or at the value it is now? |

I just tested and you can direct ping nya.kano.is as well.
