GekkoScience has a new pod miner, just in time for Christmas

[Valnurat]

I'm sorry. I have been away from this site for a long time.   

I do hope if you can answer if this is still a good device istead of the Compact F.

I have a Technical question about the R909 wattage draw at the wall. Here is the history and the question is at the bottom.

In my main mining Rig shelf I have the following all plugged into a multiport powerstip / surge protector which then runs through a wattage meter before going into the Wall.  ALL of the following pulls consistenly 509w to 515w depending on if I run the R909s at 575mhz or 600mhz.

1 small monitor, keyboard and mouse shared via KVM.
1 HP Server powersupply with 6pin breakout board.  The R909s plug into this for power via 6pin connector.
5 small external usb fans for air flow
Mining Rig#1 - I have 3 R909s running at 575mhz and 4 Compac-Fs @460mhz with attached Bitcoin merch usb fans, mining BTC on a Raspberry Pi 4 and 2 powered hubs. The R909s into one 90w Sipolar hub and the 4 Compac-Fs into another 90w Bitcoinmerch hub. (they are identical except for branding)
Mining Rig#2 - 4 newpac's @350mhz and 2 Compac-Fs @450mhz all with attached Bitcoin merch usb fans, and one Artec bendable USB Fan.


On a separate wall area I have another rig running 3 Compac-Fs @450mhz and Bitcoinmerch usb fans and one R909 @575mhz. This one the R909 is running on a 120w power brick from Bitcoinmerch that came with my first R909.  I have the R909 going into a Watt meter on its own.  This one started out pulling 115w and slowly increased so far to 117w.  

Last week I purchased a 5th r909 used from ebay. It hashes fine and is giving no problems, but I noticed that this one will start out pulling 115w from the wall but will slowly keep creeping up. I let it hash for 2 hours and it had creeped up to 132w.  I found that odd given the power strip was supposed to be 120w. I grabbed another power brick i had that came with another R909 I got off of ebay and it too was supposed to be 120w, but may only be 100w (not clear on the back), but the same thing it creeped up to 125w in about an hour before I shut it down.

Then added this 5th R909 to Rig #2 on the main shelf at the top that pulls a consistent 509w - 515w normally and it jumped to 625w and started climbing.  It got to 660w after about 5 hours and again I powered that one down just to be safe.  

Any idea what would make the wattage use creep up like that?


EDIT: It looks like I may have solved the by backing off of the blue dial by 30% counter clockwise. The R909 wattage has been stable at approx 113.8 since.  It does fluctuate up or down one or two watts sometimes but nothing like it was.

Do have a question to Kano, If i'm running a latency check it seems that your pool is based not in Europe so it's giving me a latency of 155ms, do you have a Europe based pool also?

This topic is not dedicated to Kano pool.

Anyway, the pool propose a node located in EU: https://kano.is/index.php?k=support#setup

The stratum.kano.is mining nodes are in West-USA and randomly select LosAngeles or Phoenix,
that are less than 10ms apart.

There are other mining 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)
stratum+tcp://se.kano.is:3333 (Seattle)
stratum+tcp://la.kano.is:3333 (LosAngeles)
stratum+tcp://px.kano.is:3333 (Phoenix)
stratum+tcp://al.kano.is:3333 (Atlanta)

Um, Kano has a thread covering things regarding the pool... If you look at the 1st post you will see the list of all the worldwide nodes he runs for it. There are 2 for europe - one in Germany and one in the Netherlands.

BTW: 155ms latency is *not* bad. Not great either but not bad.

Thanks, already spun up a raspberry pi 5 with NVMe for a local Bitcoin node :-)

Got the Smart Hub and R909 today..

Some metrics, it came like this out of the box, didn't change a setting...
hashrate1m   "2.42T"
hashrate5m   "2.13T"
hashrate1hr   "2.08T"

2nd R909 sadly got a broken USB connector , broke off while plugging in the cable..
