I thought they shut down at 80C.  I guess that option wasn't checked.

Probably.  Seems the password was changed on March 8th 2016.

I'd take all the power supplies if you're willing to do escrow with OgNasty but I'm guessing that's not going to happen.

I would feel safer with trusted escrow or if he just listed these on ebay.

I guess I still cannot wrap my head around the motive for anyone doing this.  Are they hoping that they can drive the pool luck down so that members leave and go.....where?  Even if they could cause the pool luck to go down, how can they direct anyone to go where it would benefit them?

I can see that it happened and that they did it intentionally but I just don't see the end game for the perpetrators.  Maybe I just can't think like the bad guys!
Hanlon's razor - "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice."

I doubt it started out as malice. Likely it started out as stupidity and has turned to malice over time.

Since they never respond when directly questioned/emailed, the most likely explanation is this was a batch of custom miners that were faulty right from the beginning, be it due to firmware or dodgy software, that had a 32 bit signed integer limitation somewhere in their design that cannot be now fixed, or is not worth the effort to fix, and have been mining under the radar for ages on other pools without being noticed. Now that they have been noticed, they have been moving from pool to pool to try and be not noticed and appear to have no intention to try and fix the issue.

What kind of hardware were they running?

look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg14226522#msg14226522

Can they just spin up another proxy server somewhere else and point their stupid/malicious miners over to the new proxy and start mining here again?

Block solved by me with my 180THs!  Cheesy Cheesy

Sweet!  Nice to see the blocks rolling in again.

They don't force anything yet it but if you have high activity they send an email questionnaire with only one question:

Quote
For Coinbase's record-keeping and tax-reporting obligations, we are required to collect certain information from all Coinbase Accounts which are used primarily for business purposes. Your account came to our attention as one which might be used for business activity and which might require our collection of additional tax-related information.

By Friday, January 22, 2015, please respond "yes" or "no" to the following question:

Is your Coinbase Account primarily used for business activity? 

If it is primarily used for business activity you reply yes and they send you the forms to fill out.  If it is used primarily as a hobby and you say no, then they reply back saying "OK, thanks so much for letting us know!" and move on to the next account.  This may change in the future as the tax laws dealing with bitcoin evolve.


Awesome. Thanks for the clarification!

this is technicly not mining directly to the wallet cause you are accepting btc after the blocks have matured if i remember correctly

I thought I read somewhere that coinbase makes you fill out forms and what not if you have more than 200 transactions per year.  I don't know if deposits count towards those transactions though.

 he has a point.  I love this pool and it is by far the best pool for btc.

  but  i have had 85 transactions fron kano.is adding to 2.8 btc  pay over .002 in fees  and get the money stuck for 18 hours.  

While one could say it is my wallets fault or its my fault for not being organized fact is my hot wallet has a lot of history and is on

blockchain.info/wallet

I don't want to use other hot wallets and frankly it is a mess.

It is more then 3 years old and the main address has more then 28 pages other addresses have over 10 pages.

So a daily payout or a threshold  auto payout is preferable to me.



I understand that all the small incoming transactions make the larger outgoing one large in tx size, but would it help to take all those little coins in your pocket and then sending them to another wallet every now and then?  Like let's say I mine 0.02BTC per block found.  Say after 100 blocks at Kano I have 2BTC.  Can I then send that 2BTC to myself to consolidate them before I spend them?  Kind of like house keeping so that when I do buy something that it doesn't get stuck?

It also says:

The coupons assigned before Chinese holiday is still valid

So I guess the ones that expired on March 2nd are still valid for batch 12.

I would do the hash boards.

That's what I do just so the fans still run a little bit just just wanted to get a general consensus.  Thanks.

I know when you're using multiple PSU you're supposed to turn the PSU with the controller board on last, but what about when you turn them off?  Do you turn the controller board off first or do you turn the hashing boards off first?  The second you turn off the controller board the fans shut off.

They're in China right?  Do you know how much they would charge to ship them to the US?
617  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] S7 1.7 BTC on: March 01, 2016, 02:09:49 PM
So this is one of the nicer units that have the 6 fan headers and a full 9 connectors for the hash boards.  Good luck with the sale.

Nice job generalt hitting that block!  I just made the connection between you and your worker name gtso...I do the same by using a short version for my workers so it looks cleaner in the cgminer window.  That is a crazy best share!  It would have worked for many diffs to come!

What can be better for mining at Kano than General Tso's chicken?

This is how you clean up those Power Jumpers on modular PSUs...use modular plugs.  It makes the job so much neater!  Many thanks to PPOC for helping me test the modular jumpers on the EVGA G2 PSUs!  I have a bunch of these modular plugs in different sizes for different brand PSUs if anyone is interested...



Hahh, i wouldnt mind a batch if they're cheap. But i see you jumped #2 and #4 for the EVGA. Isint the green wire pin #4? Because my jumpers are on #3+#4. I thought 3 and 5 was black. Is #2 a ground too?

The green wire is #4 on the Corsair PSUs but the EVGA has it's green wire on #2...

I do these at 0.01 BTC to cover what I spend in parts and shipping costs.  Less for more pieces...PM if interested.

Very nice!  Nice, simple and clean.  PM Sent.
