Hi bro,

which company are you renting with. Are they safe and secure?

melancon is our longest running high hash rate miner.
He's had that hash rate since not all that long after the pool started.
Some people got the right idea along ago

Since Dec 15, when I joined Kano from Slush... all the top miners and familiar names are still there.

Apart from that .... there a few BTC masked members which we will never know who... and that someone who will not be named... way up there

He's Nov ... 2014

westhash/nicehash  has never lost my funds in my wallet  and have always been paid correctly to me.
  they are good not great  as their system does have flaws.  
they are the only company I use to rent hash.

full disclosure I rented my signature space to them for about 7 months .

I have had some issues  sometimes they over hash..  ie buy 20th and get 27 or 40 th so the rental ends to fast.
Many people rent from them.  this is my current rental

 order # 1153808     it is a fixed order for 50th  on the westhash side of thingd

Wow what an overnight.  Love it.

Wow what an overnight.  Love it. 

yeah and I hit on my other pool  which means about 5 coins for me

[tntdgcr]

nearly 500% luck in 5 blocks. insanity

[VRobb]

Holy crap! A blocktacular on the overnight, and no less than 8 blocks maturing to yummy payout.
This is frazy!

The last 100 Blocks (~1 month) is at 110.71% and my March rental is at 107.98% which accounts for the 3% that is the cost of NiceHash.  It does work if you keep it at your 5Nd at a steady basis.  I ran a 250THs rolling-rental (as wolfen liked to call it) to see how it would come out and I'm very happy with the experiment!  His idea was to roll everything you earn from the rental back into the rental to make it self-sustaining.  I did this and was able to get ahead to set some coin aside to help pay my hosted real steel hardware fees.  That was a huge plus as well.

Some are wondering out loud if the the rental hash is bad hash or even withholding...I can't say for sure but I did hit a kano block back on 3/15 so it does work properly sometimes.  

Edit:  I'm sure if rentals cause problems kano will be on top of it!  And if we hit a bunch more blocks today my rental % will be even higher (and the kano 100 blocks % will be higher as well).  I will have no more rental expenses in March because I'm paid up through tomorrow...

It will be interesting to see how this works out since we have different strategies.

I'm now 99.2% (0.8% loss) on the rentals with 53.52% of rental shifts paid 5+ rewards.

Now, that said, my rentals did turn off 11 hours ago due to high prices (right about when the luck began here, actually).  They are gradually falling off the N range.  Time will tell which side of the variance this gap falls on, since it is the future luck that will determine if it is good or bad to not be making up for the missing rental hash right now (it is equally possible for me to be lucky to not be renting during those shifts if we have a series of long blocks as it is possible for me to be unlucky and missing out on a continued block party).

yes and this is why your method is failing.  the pool gets hot and lots of people jump in bump you out of the hot streak.

I pay a slight premium on purpose for this pool only when I  rent  hash for mining  here.


but I also have real gear here always

philipma1957   19.00THs  this is the solar array

philipma1957second   60.32THs  this 10th real gear and 50th rental


so 29th of my total 79th is real gear and never moves

the rental I will drop off here and there.

 I have found if you time a hot streak well

I did this the last two hot streaks    the short monster streaks are never 7days long

3 to 4 days max.  so my rentals will taper off soon maybe sat.


so to further clearify my 'real' gear is:

 19th solar array =    my cost to run this is 0------- I provided all mining gear
   4th my friends office = my cost to run this is 0 -- I provided all mining gear
   6 th in house            = my cost to run this is 160 usd a month
So 29th using 6120 kwatts    at 160 usd cost  a month = 2.6 cent power    this is my edge
Once it gets to May 1

I will be 25th solar array at    0 power cost
I will be   4th friends office at 0 power cost

Yup...and I dearly wish I had kept that idea when I got it...but six blocks with my coffee is not too bad to wash away the regrets...

[clgrissom3]

I have about 50TH in real gear here also but I keep it separate from my rental account on purpose.  The rental will succeed or fail on it's own for me.  With the kano pool, I believe it will always succeed and it has so far but I think it is only because I keep the 5Nd steady.  I have never been able to time hot streaks well so I don't even try anymore.  If I keep my rental's 5Nd steady, it will earn what the kano pool earns...minus 3%.

Edit:  Now this all depends on the prices being at reasonable levels...if it ever got up into the 0.0040+ range consistently I will be done for.  So far I have been able to hover between 0.0029-0.0035 on a regular basis and it's working for me.  For the month of March in my account, the avg BTC/day/TH has been 0.00397270.  Life is good on kano!

He hit the block with mmpool.
It's a pool with pretty low total hash rate so I guess that is why Phil got a nice piece of that block reward

[citronick]

Block!!

Will this be the day - we smash the 8 block record?

yes and this is why your method is failing.  the pool gets hot and lots of people jump in bump you out of the hot streak.

I pay a slight premium on purpose for this pool only when I  rent  hash for mining  here.

The "hot streak" (positive variance) pays the shares I mined in the past.  That is why I recovered a 20% loss in one day from the shares submitted by rentals when we weren't in a "hot streak".  I can not guarantee that will continue, so I have an equal chance of coming out ahead as I do falling behind by not renting when the prices are high.  Unless the quality of hash is influencing pool luck (I doubt it is in any significant way) then randomness is randomness and we should have an equal number of profitable and unprofitable shifts in the long run.  The only difference should be in how much was paid to obtain those rewards.

I'm open to being proven wrong, but if what you say is provably true, then the shifts I choose to rent in are guaranteed to bring a loss and the best strategy (even better than tracking the N range) would be to rent the exact opposite shifts only since they are the ones not guaranteed to result in a loss (in other words, only rent when the price is high).  Variance doesn't (or shouldn't) work that way.

The only caveat is this-- due to diff changes rewards cost more to obtain in the future than they cost today.  If my method gets positive variance then that is to my advantage, but the negative variance is harder to recover from.

That said, I would agree that this pool has an excellent record of 107% in the long run.  That can't be guaranteed to continue, but it is reasonably low risk to put in orders up to 0% (and maybe even +1%) instead of limiting to -2% as I have.  Above that seems very risky though.  That doesn't change the fact that my method should work just as well but with more variance in the rewards (and at less expense).

good best way to get  a block is type out a long well written idea.  and boom no longer accurate.



please wirte somthing up well thought out not full of tpyos .

so that we hit antoher block.

we will call it good grammer bad grammer techniuge

so this post it the bad gramma you last post was good grammer  lets see what happens!
