Close, the more hashrate the pool has the faster the 5Nd ramp.  Mine On!  Both the miner and the pool. Your ramp up time would be very quick if you brought 20ph/s, for example. |

Would you want the profitability at that time, or compared to some price?
For example, in Jan 2010, the profitability was negative, even though you were getting coins that could be worth hundreds of thousands at today's prices.

Plus it is easy to post a picture of a PCB with some chips and other components on it. Where's the proof that it can actually hash at current speeds for current gen power draw?

Ok I’ve read the payout section on the pools website and I know ramp up has been talked about here these last few pages. I’m still having trouble understanding. How do I know when I’m fully ramped up? Is it after 15 days or is there a percentage or something I can look at under my worker? Also if I’m fully ramped up and I add more workers to increase my hash rate. Will they all be ramped up or does each worker I add need to ramp up on there own?
When we hit a block, the pool looks back at the last 5*network difficulty (to 10 trillion) shares. We call this ramp up, because if you're new to the pool, the percentage of those last shares that are yours is lower than the percentage of shares that are yours in say the last 1,000,000 shares. So its the amount of shares your workers put out, relative to the total hash rate of the pool, for the last 5ND (5 times the network difficulty) shares. The more hash rate you have, the faster the ramp up time, because you have more shares. |

Thanks Cobra! (and wow, 4 confirms already.)

Consolidate your transactions with the low fees!

In other news today is a sad day for me. Running your miners on your dryer's 220v connection temporarily is awesome, until it's laundry day. I swear next time I'm taking the laundry to a laundromat.
All 4 miners are taking a breather while the undies get 90% dry.

#dedication
#mineon
Aw come on - why not just hang the undies a little bit away from the hot exhaust of your miners? It might take a little longer, but you'll be getting double the value from them. |

I realize that the controller is a Pi but can I use any old Pi as long as I have the SD image from canaan? Or is there something special about their Pi? Is there a Pi version requirement?
I have a number of old Pi's sitting around, just wondering if I can repurpose one and save money on a controller.
You don't need their Pi, just their SD Card image. |

With TX fees at their lowest point in months, this is a good day for miners to consolidate transactions to save on those fees in the future. (Even better if you can consolidate to a SegWit address!)

What's the status page look like when you lose power?
Its possible you just have some bad chips, and its coincidence its when you switch to one of those pools.

Agreed, there's no way this is real. Was just posting more information pointing to that.

Where are you measuring the hash rate? On the miner, or on the pool?
One theory is that those pools are setting the difficulty to something your miner can't handle, and its not able to submit a share until the difficulty adjusts. The bigger pools have a lower starting difficulty.
Another option could be their stratum servers location to you. If their infrastructure doesn't have nodes near you, your connection might be timing out and having to reconnect.

Guys, could someone explain one thing for me?
If my understanding is right - new block contains ~1kb transactions data and this info should be hashed. Right?
Then, what if pool finds some good enough hash for new block - but there was another block discovered in network, which already contains some of our transactions. Would such block be invalid?
Or am I completely wrong here, and transactions are added only after new block hash is found?
A new block header contains a few things that are hashed: A version, the hash of the previous block, the time, the nonce (a random number), the difficulty target and a hash of all the transactions you're including in that block (the merkle root.) That header is then appended to the transaction data. When a new block is found, the header elements and the transaction data change across the network. It is possible that someone else, somewhere else in the world, finds a block around the same time, and at that case only one of those blocks is valid. This rarely happens because pools use the FIBRE network. This is why it takes 101 confirmations for coins to mature - if your block was found to be orphaned, because the other block had more blocks built on top of it, the pool would lose those coins. Is there a discord for Kano's pool?
There's an IRC channel. |

I emailed them asking for more info and pictures or video to prove it is real.
They sent me an email saying that they have no pictures of any of their units yet, and that their lab was busy working on it. When I asked how they got the specs, they said that's their targets.
The contact ("Zy") said that their first chips and PCBs come in the first week of feb. However, they would send me images. I told them that sending a review unit to trusted people here would be the best thing to do.
Haven't heard back yet, except for putting pressure saying the price will be going up soon.

The only legit reseller that I know of is Eastshore. Even, the markup is around 100%. They are NOT official resellers (bitmain doesn't have those) but I've ordered from them and the unit arrived.

What's the chance of solving a block or finding a block with 1 S9 miner? What's the odd? Have anyone going Naomi for 2 weeks with one s9 and found a block before?
1 in 8203 per day It is impossible to answer your other question, but the likelihood is no. |

I broke my pool account! I was stupid and set the Worker Management Minimum Diff to 156,000,000. Since I did that, the Pool shows my miner as offline for over two hours. So I set the Minimum Diff back to 0, and restarted my miner twice, waiting another hour but it still showed as offline for over three hours now.
So I created a new pool account and pointed my miner to the new account, and it shows as Active and online and is busy working and producing shares.
Is there a way I can fix my old pool account or somehow consolidate pool accounts so I don't lose the shares I worked on so far? Like perhaps use the same BTC payment address?
Any advice is appreciated, and I apologize if this has been asked and answered - I did search for a couple of hours but couldn't find anything.
Just use the new user. Your old user will ramp down as your new user ramps up, so there's no loss. |

Anyone else think all of the blocks we just found may have spoiled us? I guess we need to start dancing again!
Keep up the great work Kano!
I want one of those fabled 5+ block days. Running ahead of expected value is always nice. |

42PH! Looks like the miner drive is working. You now need over 126TH to be in the top 50.

Hi guys, my S9 is hashing real low. Maybe because I'm in Mongolia and my miner is connecting to a server in the US..?
I have the default stratum in my miner. Are the any other stratum I should try..? My internet is fast.
You could try jp.kano.is - might be faster for you. There are other nodes located around the world that you may be closer to:
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333 (NewYork)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 (Netherlands)
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333 (Japan)
