What are the chances of us cracking over 30 blocks again without getting more hashing power here?  If everybody went out and bought just one more new miner we would add about 20 PH to the pool. I got 7 more on the way. Who else is in? [/qu Mining with 8 (104ths) 5 more coming i'm ALL IN 170+ TH SOON |

What is the highest hashrate Kano pool has had in the past... or are we at the highest now?
We had an average pool hash rate of 133.27PHs for block 491121. I don't remember exactly but the peak pool hash rate may have been over 200PHs right around there. Ok thanks, yes this block is one of those "bitches". The funny thing is that I made a significant investment (7 S9's) and went from one R4 at 8.7Th, to now hashing at just over 105Th. I have 5 more S9's coming, so I'll be up around 172Th. Trying not to be a bitch myself, but this is the rude reality of mining. Ugh. I realize this is not the norm. I've been talking to my machines....lol. Good LUCK to all MINE ON. |

Question
Last week we were approaching 1700 or maybe 1900 users it seems. How can we lose so many "users" so quickly. It seems like it was down to 1200, a drop of 500? now climbing back up again.
Thoughts on this?
Some of it is no doubt users that initially don't understand the ramp/5nd/payout system here at first and miss the daily payouts. Others may have been users that try out different pools. There really is no telling. For all we know some users were using multiple BTC addresses for workers and then created a user account instead. Who knows, maybe Kano. What I know is no matter what, we are growing in hashrate, and we are going to MINE ON! The ckpool software gives you no control over a certain part of the user management so I can't stop users doing certain things. Needless to say, the user count sometimes jumps high then back down again every so often. The pool hash rate is what matters most, on the Pool->Graph, since that's each shift of accepted valid shares that could have found blocks. Thanks for the reply! That helps. I see we picked up a big gun with cryptostarusa and 7570Th. Nothing wrong with that. |

Most MODERN power supplies automatically accept input from about 100 VAC to about 240 VAC with no "switching" needed.
Only older "transformer-input" type supplies needed the switch.
US outlets for 234VAC circuits are NORMALLY NEMA 6 series outlets (this is NOT the same as the common NEMA 5 outlet you see in most houses).
Cords for NEMA 6 to connect to standard power supply connections tend to be less common, and more expensive, than the very common NEMA 5 cords - there are quite a few folks that sell them though, check eBay, Amazon, Newegg for them.
The cord you have the link to IS the type you are looking for - but way expensive, and you don't really need a "heavy duty" version as you're pulling well under 10 AMPs to fully power a APW3++ at 234 volts.
The cord shown appears to be a NEMA 6-20 (20 amp) cord, you're more likely to want to use NEMA 6-15 cords and outlest (a NEMA 6-15 plug WILL plug into a NEMA 6-20 outlet, but not the other way around - like on NEMA 5 plugs/outlets the 20 amp version has one "T" type socket connector).
With some digging you should be able to find applicable cords in the under $10 range.
Thank you both for answering. I wired in a new 30 AMP two pole circuit, and installed a NEMA 6-15 Outlet. Then got the proper cord cap (replacement end) and cut off the NEMA 5 end. I replaced the NEMA 5 end (standard in US 110 systems) with the NEMA 6-15 cord cap (end) for 240V applications...did nothing to the other end where it connects to the bitmain unit. My new readings are as follows using a Fluke 87 Multimeter and a Yokogawa Clamp on Amp Meter. Original arrangement the single black power wire at the circuit panel was drawing 12.7 amps at 121Volts...which equates to a total draw of 1537 watts!!!! New arrangement... voltage measured 242Volts. Circuit drawing 5.7Amps, volts x amps = Watts 242 x 5.7 =1379 Watts. This equates to a savings of about 158 Watts continuous. Everything (cord cap and cord) running cooler now too. I feel much better. I'm amazed it even ran, It hashed correctly but I'm sure it's much happier now with 240Volt power Thanks again for the help. |

From another thread I started... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2672623.0;topicseenI see on the tag of my Antminer APW3++ "12" that the input can be 110 or 220 volt, however there is no selector switch. Is there anybody that can explain the difference between? Is my power supply able to...with the proper cord of course... be powered with either 110 or 220 volts? I've searched and it looks like most people just use the regular or Heavy Duty 110V "computer" style cord with (14AWG). There is not much info about powering these APW3++ units with a 220v cord. Are there any people out here powering their APW3++ with a 220V supply, and if so...what cord...and does the APW3++ automatically recognize the difference if it is being powered by 110, or 220. I DO NOT WANT TO PLUG IT IN AND HAVE IT GET TOASTED by the higher voltage. lol. I'm going to add a few outlets, so I'm happy to do them in 220V and buy the proper cord, as long as the APW3++ is engineered to receive 110 or 220 through the same port, using a different style cord end at the wall.Thoughts? Thanks for any help Andy THIS is a product advertized on Ebay as the cord for using with 220V. Notice the "Wall" end has terminals turned 90DEG different (US APPLICATION, not European standard). I'm in the US...and want to purchase the proper wall plug and wire my circuits to a 220V breaker in my Square D 200Amp Panel. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BITMAIN-APW3-220v-HEAVY-DUTY-Power-Cord-for-Antminer-D3-S9-or-2-L3/173056827115?epid=12007773703&hash=item284afd9eeb:g:7u8AAOSwpzJaQ1zu |

Thank you for the replies! I'll be patient and see what happens You should see payouts for 5 blocks now  All 5 have come in, and they are good ones! Thanks again!! I'm learning. |

Hello all,
Complete noob here, so please go easy on me.
This is my first go at Bitcoin Mining. Just connected on Wednesday evening (Eastern Time in the US).
I'm using an Antminer R4 and it seems to be hashing along great. I'm harvesting or paying to my Coinbase wallet, and have had 5 successful payments, but nothing after
block 462711.
I have not made any changes, and I've double checked the address on the miner set up screen, it's pointed at KANO.IS (stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333)
I understand the lag time in payments, but have others been paid yet for blocks newer than 462711? It appears that all have "Matured" as of this writing except the top one, 462908 (which is currently at +96 confirms).
Do I need to keep updating the wallet address (like the "newest" or "latest" address that Coinbase issues for my account)? From what I can tell from reading, all old wallet addresses will work and mine is only a couple days old anyway. I've double checked all the numbers and key strings and it's all correct so far.
Thanks for any help
