At this risk of continuing this off topic discussion, doesn't your wallet software automatically compute a reasonable fee for size of the transaction? I remember the first time I bought something with mined coins and was shocked by the fee. Then I realized how huge the transaction was due to tons of tiny inputs, after which it made sense.

I've only used Bitcoin-Qt and a Trezor for receiving mined income. Both of them seem to do a decent job of computing reasonable fees when spending. Never seen a stuck transaction. Maybe other wallets don't automatically do as good a job, or maybe people think they know what they're doing and they override the wallet and low ball the fee?

Note that in the Trezor's case I periodically transfer from my mining account to my main one so that I can consolidate my bazillion tiny inputs. One drawback of the Trezor is that its signing is slow, so big transactions can take a long time to sign (many minutes sometimes). By consolidating I can pick when I want to spend that time.

Cool! Thanks for your hard work!

Would you consider adding more control over the notification sounds?

It would be great to be able to have a different, user selectable sound for blocks found verses payout events.

It would also be nice to be able to control which notifications have sound and which do not. Currently all you can to is disable all notification sounds.

Finally got one of the cats out from under the couch.

I just noticed one of my S7s has a best share of 66,576,783,617. That's the biggest I've ever seen from one of my rigs.

It would have been a block back in November, which is a mere three months ago

Yes, I know that best share is a useless statistic. But it does give me an artificial, meaningless, and admittedly silly sense of accomplishment.

I can't even ask the cats for their guess. When I try, they both hide under the couch.

With this brutal difficulty trend, I feel like joining them  

Thanks so much for setting up the club! Raising awareness of the Compac stick was important for the community.

It was a lot of fun, regardless of whether we hit a block or not. Although there's still a little time for that block to happen

I'll leave the email notification running for one more day, then I'll turn it off.

You can't go wrong with APC PDUs. Never had a single failure. They have tons of models so be careful to pick the form factor that you want with the power capacity that you need.

This may just be my personal experience, but you should avoid Tripp Lite. They're probably cheaper, but not worth it. I had a pair of them die in exactly the same way just a few months apart. Bad design resulted in a blown diode.

Damn. I thought for sure I'd beat you to the punch this time.

You must sit in front of your computer clutching your iPhone waiting for the notification

One of my S7s did not come back after the last disconnect. I had to power cycle it remotely via PDU. Weird...

Yet another reason to have a PDU if your miners are remote (mine are at a data center).

Thanks Phil. That's pretty straightforward. I'm already cleared with Coinbase's ID requirements.

Note that I was thinking about selling anyway, but not in anticipation of some sort of crash. My issue is that I bought into batch 1 S7s. They were so expensive in BTC terms that the only ROI that I can see is in fiat.

At this stage my S7s have earned about 75% of ROI in fiat terms in 129 days. That's largely due to the price increase since I bought these.

Whereas I'm only 47% ROI in pure BTC terms. At the current difficulty, I'm still 205 days from a BTC ROI. With the insane difficulty increases this effectively equates to 'never'. These early S7s were always a long shot due to the halving, but now it's basically impossible.

The only way to get a return is a combination of selling BTC and selling the S7s, at an opportune time.

Man, life was much simpler in the good ole S3 and SP20E days. Those ROI'd in pure BTC terms in no more than 120 days. By the time I sold them, I more than doubled my BTC investment.

I can see a not-too-distant future where all I'll have is a pair of Sidehack Compac sticks, just to keep my hand in...

Phil do you use Coinbase to sell your coins? If so, do you use their exchange or just your account (and whatever rate they provide at that moment)?

I'm just curious because so far I've never sold any coin. But I'm thinking about it now...

I have 3 coupons for sale. PM me an offer.

+13.3 = edonkey

Neither cat likes to count this high. They yearn for single digit changes.

When you look at the block statistics page it's a full column of fluorescent green!

It's like the seventies all over again, except with bitcoin

I re-added the worker address for my stick in the Sidehack Compac Stick pool and all I see is that stick instead of all the other members. This is a welcome improvement.

Thanks very much!

Cool! It works!

It's kind of magic that this works without an app update. I guess you aggregate the data on your own backend, or something like that.

As per your description, when I put in my worker address for the Sidehack Compac Stick pool I see all the pool members. The way that "pool" is structured is that we all use an address provided by philipma1957, with individual workers to track shares.

It's a lot to look at, but it does work. No need to limit the view to individual workers on my account.

It's very cool to wake up in the morning and see the pool notifications on my phone's home screen from the previous night.

Just sent a small donation.

No problem. I missed the fact that solo addresses were not supported in the first post. I guess I'm also having problems reading today.

Anyway, no worries. Thanks for your continued efforts.

The addresses in question are on ck's solo pool, not kano's. Here's an example URL, including the address:

http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11edonkeystick

Maybe you can't monitor addresses on the solo pool? I tried to see if there was a different config if I selected the solo pool on the main page of the app, but it seems like there's a single configuration for the app for both pools.
