I was out of town for 5 days, sorry for only 16 posts.

Eligius tried to place 577 transactions into it but we won and placed 1156 transactions in the block. Double the transactions inserted and still won the race!
That's a great point, it's too bad that in close orphan races the number of transactions doesn't factor in. It would be a shame in any case, regardless of who was racing who, to have a block with less transactions beat out a block with more.

Lots of errors at the end of your log about connecting to a pool, but that doesn't have anything to do with your U3. What is your specific issue right now? Have you tried other pools?

I had a power outage earlier and after restarting both, they seem to hash fine but report 0 in best share... (well 1 does reports 9373, but the other 0)
It is a known bug with the S3, suggest updating to Kano's S3 cgminer release and it fixes that and other issues. https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS3

Hmm that reminds me I've had this problem before. If you authed first on the DE pool you cannot auth on the main pool later on. I thought I'd fixed this bug but it seems to have returned. That would explain it. I'll look into it.
Is this related to a bug I posted about a couple weeks ago? Well, I guess I don't know if it's a bug or a flaw in the way the miner operates, but just wondering. The IP address of solo.ckpool.org changes after a DDoS and perhaps these devices almost never look up the IP address using a cached result for ages. In which case a restart might be required, either of cgminer or the whole device.
I have restarted the whole device 3 times (one of those was power off for 20+ minutes) and it still is in failover, I'll see if I can't flush its dns cache or something, thanks. I had the same bug a couple of weeks back, all I had to do was change the address I was mining to.
I could not locate any sort of dns reset in the S3 interface so I tried changing addresses and the pool was ALIVE again. I changed back to the old address thinking maybe I had cleared up the issue, but the old address reports the pool as DEAD. A new solo address for the US node it is then! Problem solved, thanks.

20% a year ago would have been a huge amount of new hardware, but 20% today?! I don't even know what to say, other than I do not see how the value of bitcoin and the halving can support this continued network growth.

Some one can help me with my U3? cgminer can't load it.
Did you run zadig? Did it install the driver properly? Can you see the U3 in your device manager? Use the latest release of cgminer, 4.9.2.

I have now an amount of a little more than 30000 satoshi dust...when can my investors hope to see it in their poket?
When it's worth more than $1 Is there a way to see a total dust amount that has accrued in our account, or do we just need to manually add it up from the payments page? I just added mine up and I have 0.00531421 btc in dust outstanding, worth almost 2 whole dollars! This is actually more than a single S3 will earn per block on the pool right now. When it gets to 0.1 I might ask to have it sent to me, but less than that I don't see value in it just yet. I will have been mining at kano.is for 1 year on March 5. Well, March 5 is the first block I received a payment for, so probably started a day or two sooner. I hope finding co-miners who are in the same situation than me...
I'm in that situation, since the pool has grown I'm just a dust miner that points a bit of "free electricity" hash to the pool, but I'm banking on the fact that one day btc will be worth a lot more than today, and at that time Kano will have figured out an expedient way to send out all the dust and we will all get a nice surprise in our wallets. The nice thing is that even running my S3+ for only a day for the Ava6 contest I'm going to receive payments for several blocks now until my average drops back down. kano just a little more above explained me that dust is paid if the amount of dust is worth $1
I think you need to re-read it, because that it not what he said. Don't expect to receive a dust payment from kano any time in the near future...

Even though my last U3 died I still left the R1 up and solo mining as part of the compac stick solo pool. As a piece of hardware it's a fun little unit, very useful if you have a U3, but even if you just like tinkering with bitcoin gadgets then it's worth picking one up.

If there is no entry in the debug.log you might have to look at OS log files to find the reason for the crash. Lets hope its not needed.
Hopefully not, it's almost done syncing the blockchain... again... Funny thing it, core crashes very rarely while it's syncing, crashes much more often when it's up and running up-to-date. And never has a crash while syncing resulted in a corrupted file.

picks are now closed
we are now open
I think you forgot to edit out a sentence in your second post, Phil. And damn it, I was stuck in the field all morning and didn't make it to a computer in time to guess. Good luck, everyone, see you next round!

Pointed my S3+ solo lottery machine here for the Avalon contest, too much fun to pass up on. Good luck. Well that was fast, looks like kilowatt won the month already, congrats! Back to solo mining until March.

My S3 is set to factory default of 192.168.1.99 but I cannot connect to it via the browser using a direct connection to my pc.
What should my PC settings be?
Your pc must have an IP address of 192.168.1.XXX to be able to bring up the web gui interface. Or you must change the IP address on the S3 to be YYY.ZZZ.WWW.XXX where the YYY.ZZZ.WWW parts all match your PC.

I hate going away from the computer a few days and coming back to see + double digit difficulty predictions, it was still single digits when I left!
I'm gonna watch this for a bit and get a late pick in I think.

This is a fascinating thread (well, as fascinating as statistical discussion go), thanks for starting it, Phil. I posted something to this effect in the Antpool thread when I first got into bitcoin about a year ago, I just couldn't understand why so many people where pointed to that pool (which only exists for Bitmain's benefit) when there were so many better choices out there, and even a year ago before I knew what I do today I figured out that kano.is was coded and run how a pool should be. I'm glad to see that reasoning is finally spreading its way out to the masses.

I agree, the R1 with Crazyguy's firm ware was the only definitive thing that ever made a difference in my experiences with U3. They are so random how they behave, different for almost everybody, and even the same unit will behave different for one owner is the same setup. I had one that wouldn't hash, then it would, then it only would hash with 20% error, then it was fine again and the whole time I never did anything different to it.

"bestever": 18785779859 Nice 18G share, that would have been a block like a year ago. Was that a stick? Probably from a rental, but if it was a stick that would be impressive.

Nice, fat block at 395570, 25.55367288 block reward; look at those fees! Proof is in the pudding.
