I had one that showed like that and I reflashed it and now it is running fine. Might be worth a try.

PPLNS only pays when the pool finds blocks. They only found around 25 blocks on that day. Looks like about 60% of expected so PPS paid more as it pays for shares.

I'm no expert on electrical but have been around it. A 15 amp circuit does not have enough power for an S9 and an AC even if you step it up. You need to get some real 220 volt power in there. I think it was low voltage that killed them. Plus the temp you noted are pretty hot, especially if that is the board temp. Still pretty warm even if it is the chip temps. Do you have the exhaust vented outside? If not make sure you do that. Do not try to cool the exhaust air it just cost a lot of money for AC and doesn't work.
Good luck!

So ... in an attempt to get some large miners on board  I'll post this here now and then work out how to get the attention of said larger miners ... 10 BTC giveaway to LARGE minersAnyone with NON-RENTAL hash rate - i.e. their own miners, who shows on the rewards page a "Your N Avg" of exactly 9.5PH/s or more - yes a large miner - for any block that they find, will get a bonus 1 BTC block finder reward for up to a maximum of 3 blocks per miner. Total BTC I'll be giving out will be 10 BTC i.e. a total of ten 1 BTC block finder rewards. The bonus 1 BTC block finder reward will not be taken from the block reward to miners - i.e. no miners will be getting paid less due to the block finder reward. So how can a large miner get this 1, 2 or 3 BTC bonus reward?They have to ramp up to over 9.5PHs then find a block. Are there any quick ways to ramp up to 9.5PHs?Yep - if you have 20PHs then you'll ramp up to 9.5PHs in less than 2.5Nd i.e. twice as fast. Of course if you have more than that, the ramp to 9.5PHs will be faster again. Does this affect the ramp time?Yes, adding more hash rate to the pool reduces the time of the 5Nd ramp. e.g. at the moment assuming we were 50PH/s then adding another 10PH/s to the pool would reduce the ramp time by 20% If you know anyone on any bitmain pools or slush (which is probably now a bitmain pool also) with over 10PH then tell them about it ... and cryptostarusa can't get it Wow! Thank you Kano. Hopefully we can pick up another 75-100PH. This is an outstanding offer in my opinion. |

Ok the talk about stales a bit earlier in this thread reminded me I wanted to ask about the invalids that are in the Hi column. What causes an invalid Hi? I am only running 0.106% on invalids. most being stale but have about 25% of them that are Hi. I probably should know and may have at one time but don't remember now and cannot find anything on it.
"Hi" means the share hash has high - which means the difficulty value was low. I posted an explanation of "hi" vs "low" before, so I wont repeat that, but basically your miner sent a bunch of shares with the difficulty below what the pool asked for. e.g. if the pool says send me 4098 diff shares and your miner sends 410 diff shares, then they are "hi" and rejected. Firstly, it makes no difference to your reward, since e.g. on average one in every 10 of your 410 diff shares would be above 4098 so you expect to get the same reward. Secondly, you'd need to check both numbers under "hi" to make proper sense of it. You probably sent a whole bunch of low diff shares when your miner connected, but the value of those shares probably doesn't add up to much. The "hi" value will say V/N where V = total value of the shares and N = the number of shares. As always, it's the value V that actually matters, but if you are sending truck loads of them (high N) then it's probably Bitmain strikes again Although Bitmain can build miners, their programmers are crap. Cannan on the other hand Well their top guy setup the OpenWrt OS and wrote the web interface in the first Avalon miner that Bitmain copied directly into their first S1 miner. He also wrote the first version of the Icarus and Avalon driver in cgminer. Avalon also had the first ASIC miner - so yeah there are a few more reasons why I think Canaan is better than Bitmain. Pity their prices were/are high - that's a strike against them IMO - market forces ... the force of many sheeple  Hopefully it will go back down ... Though they did the same with the first Avalon miner ... so it's not unexpected ... and I trashed them back then also Kano, thanks that makes sense. There is not much hash there, and I am not worried about it, just wanted to understand what caused it. Thank you for the explanation. Will continue to mine on! |

Hi team,
I plan to clean my S9 from stickies, Im going to detach the 3 hashboards to do so. My machine will be off for 35 - 45 minutes I guess. Will this will affect ramp-up process or I will start again from beginning?. BTW I've got my payment from last 2 block appx 0.001007 and 0.001033 after running the machine 4 or 5 days. Actually Im not expecting this payment since I'm not fully ramp-up 13.5 days. Still confuse wkwkwk....
You will not lose all of your ramp it will just go down while your rig is not running. So if it takes 45 minutes with it down you should be back to about the same place with 45 minutes of running. If we hit a block while it is down you still get a payment based on your ramp at that time. You do not have to be fully ramped in order to get payments. Where ever you are on the ramp you get credit for that amount of hash when payments are made. You just don't get full payments until you are fully ramped. |

just a quick poll folks ...
how many of you think we will hit at least 12 blocks a month, in the medium term?
I'd be curious to do a survey of our pool's members on your guesses?
Currently 12 blocks in the next 30 days would put us over 100% luck as we should come in around 10.5 blocks in that time frame. Obviously the # of blocks expected changes as the hash rate changes so the numbers here are irrelevant as soon as I type them. With that said, we will get what we get. 12 to 15 blocks would not surprise me nor would 8. There will be variance no matter where you mine. We have no control over that and guessing is just that, guessing. I think we all need to look at all the reasons to mine. Most are mining to make money. We should also mine to support the network and keep it healthy. The large mining pools provide a somewhat consistent payout but take a bigger piece of the pie than t he smaller pools like Kano. The large pools do not help keep the hashing power distributed and the network secure. We need miners distributed across the network more evenly to support the network. This Bitcoin world is managed by miner decisions and with the recent influx we have a whole lot of people who do not understand that. My hope is that the mining world would smarten up a bit and that we do not self destruct. Any miner that wants to continue mining into the future should be mining on a pool that has less than 10% of the network hash. At least it would be a good start. Mine on. |

Hi all I've been moving house and will have that 'finished' today (ignoring all the unpacking :p) Anyway, as a result all my home servers are (still) awaiting me to set them up again. As a result the 2nd last payout (509166) will be sent out late - but less than 12hrs late. I may actuallt get it out on time (coz blocks are slow today) but in the case it's late - that's why. Have fun! I really hate moving all my gear. Seems like it always takes me a couple of weeks to get comfortable and everything where I want it. |

Time? Nope - the first block ever found on the pool was pretty slow coz the pool was tiny. It was also lucky (less than 100%) However, Diff% is what matters for rewards, and this one is 542% at the moment. The 2 largest are there on the Web site Blocks page at the end of October - the largest being 928.788% Now for that CDF related number 0.99557285335217 542.000% 1 in 225.9 i.e. we expect to average, over time, 1 in 225.9 blocks to be over 542% Out of curiosity what is the actual number of blocks over 542% since the beginning of the pool? Including the block we're on now we have 4 out of the last 88 listed on the blocks page (or 1 in 22). subtract the last block we found from the last block found on the website. Pretty easy to do. 2834 blocks as of right now. Huh? How does that answer my question smart ass? I think he just misunderstood your question. It would be interesting to see a break down of the block times since the beginning. Maybe we are due for an extended streak of 25% blocks.  |

I've been mining on Kano since Jan 21st with a single S9, but my shift graph seems to have maxed out at 8.9, I thought the ramp was a couple of weeks? I'm sure I'm missing something, but if the ramp time depends on us finding a block, then it was a bad time to switch...  Yeah, looks like a missing card. I run S9 and go between 13.5 and 16. I have had the miner to show it was hashing on all three boards but the server to only show around 9Th a couple of times. A restart took care of it for me at least. Now I check a couple of times a day to make sure no machine is dropping hash on the workers page. |
