Looks like the great firewall and chinese mining got us again

This is the 3rd time that I can remember this happening. Does anyone know why they get it every time?

Ugh... Starting to feel like I might need to give up on these rentals then. That block was a little mini-savior. Losing way too much on them at this point...

I do rent from time to time. Renting certainly is a tough game with slim margins. Good luck to you.

Thanks! It's definitely risky, I knew that going in. Just luck swinging the other way for now (for me) - I did well last time, about a month or so ago. The time even before that I did a much longer stint, closer to a month and it also worked out with a small profit.

This time, the 471% followed closely by the 411% and then 295% block right after put me in a hole. It's made these past few reddish blocks bite a little harder than they normally would.

I always make sure to leave emotion and impulsive decisions out of it. If you rely on the fact that Kano.is has performed above average from day one and you stay consistent in what you are doing. Profit will come.

So true. Not sure I'd even consider renting hash for another pool, honestly.

How stupid, Blockchain has the orphaned block flagged as a double spend, You'd think they would have the software written to recognize the difference. Oh Well, maybe it's time for another payout addy anyhow.......

The day after the last orphan we had a big block party. Maybe that will happen again.

Wow...on another note...haven't had line power (until now...about 21:55 UTC) for 18 hours. The main breakers on the building kept tripping...and, of course, the first place they go to is mine    However...having done my due diligence, I proved to them that I run no more that 70% of rated capacity on any of the breakers in my panel. Wasn't me.

What it WAS is they discovered that the common water heater for my building (four units), while gas, is solar assisted...and they had the control circuit and circulating pump wired directly into the GFI circuit for my bathroom...so I could be running 70% total load, but not know that there was a 600W circulating pump on the other side of one of my walls, on my feed, and when the pump kicked in the startup draw (which can reach 1200W) blew the main. Wunnerful.

The nice part is that I no longer have to be stealth. They're OK with the mine. The onsite mgr and the master electrician checked out my equipment rack and power distribution, and I got compliments on planning and neatness. It actually showed them an issue with the property they didn't know they had, but would likely have found out more about it the hard way, as other distribution boards blew.

The bad part is I'm going to be limited to (it appears) four S7s (the three I'm running and another) and perhaps a couple of S3s. Theoretically I was going to 5 S7s and four S3s. Not now, 'cuz I've lost two likely circuits due to poor wiring scheme, but I'm blessed to have what I have. It couldn't be better.

Mine on. Baby needs new shoes...and I need another .15+ btc for the last S7.

Sounds like quite the adventure!  How bad does the dip in your shift graph look?

Yep another orphan

I've updated the web info.
Looks like I also need to work on the orphan detection code, it does a pretty simple check that seems to not spot it well.
I really never expected to get orphans very often, so it wasn't something I cared too much about, but I guess I should make a few changes there and make it automatically detect them better.

Since now we get around 100 blocks a month, we can of course expect to get more orphans.
The last orphan was 96 blocks ago, so another one now is not really statistically unexpected.

The run down of what happened:

UTC
2016-05-04 15:29:16.334 - eu relay sent BTCC block to the DE node ...0000234618ae...
2016-05-04 15:29:16.341 - we got the block from the miner ...00003e16d314...
2016-05-04 15:29:16.564 - our main bitcoind accepted our block
2016-05-04 15:29:16.647 - us-east relay got our block
2016-05-04 15:29:16.653 - us-west relay got our block
2016-05-04 15:29:17.271 - us-east relay sent BTCC block to us
2016-05-04 15:29:17.281 - us-west relay sent our block back to us
2016-05-04 15:29:17.715 - us-west relay sent BTCC block to us
2016-05-04 15:29:17.854 - eu relay sent our block to the DE node
2016-05-04 15:29:18.136 - us-east relay sent our block back to us

Really only the first 2 lines are needed to explain it all though.
So unfortunately for our block, there was really no 'expectation' to win since our block was actually 7milliseconds after one of our nodes first knew about the BTCC block
A double block would of course made us win, but in this case, while obviously all of 'GFW' was already working on BTCC's block, already some outside GFW would have been working on the BTCC block also.

The next block was by f2pool, so of course, due to the BTCC block actually being just before our block, that meant they confirmed the BTCC block.

In the basement...if I had one, of course...and I'm only back up to around 9.6TH/s (only two S7s running at the moment). My 5Nd was 16.36+ prior, with 3 S7s and (I think...can't remember now with all the brouhaha) six S3s running. I think my best case now is to get back to the same; given the new data, though, I think I'm looking at perhaps not even being able to run the S3s. Will have to experiment and see, keeping that phantom amp draw in mind.

CKDB restart coming up at approx 00:15 UTC (about 1 hr from now)
No miners will be affected.
Web site will show lotsa '?' for about 10 minutes.

This update is firstly a fix for the latest memory leaks, so restarts should be needed less.
i.e. from now on CKDB restarts should be rare or when there's new functionality to be added.
... and in that regard, I'm adding a "100 block luck history" to the end of each block row on the blocks page.

If we find any blocks between now and then, I'll update when I expect when the CKDB restart will be.

CKDB restart completed as expected.
Restart was from 00:17 to 00:29 UTC

It was a longer than normal due to the fact that the last shift actually finished just before the hour, and the summary was 00:09 (not 00:15) so it was actually the longest case scenario for a normal restart in terms of amount of data to process, which I realised before I did the restart, but decided was worthwhile to test the long case under normal circumstances.
All went OK.

The block page update is done also, as mentioned above, so you can see the running 100 block luck history at each block.

kano i have a pc at a friends house on 100 meg charter internet

i downloaded bitcoin core

i would be willing to help run something for kano's pool if u would like

the pc is on all the time right now

just would need some walking threw

edit the machine is located in st.louis missouri

Other than pointing/addnode your bitcoind at the pool, there's not anything else at the moment.

ok i did the following..

target is "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -dns -addnode=kano.is is this correct ?

[thedreamer]

What does that added node do?

Is it necessary? Does it gain anything to run for the pool?

[philipma1957]

I run a node in NEW JERESY.

would it help pool to configure it in a special way.

All I know is I run three Mac minis and 3 pcs windows 7

So the Mac mini runs the node .

It is really easy to run costs close to zero power.

I do not mind doing any thing on that Mac mini as it is not used much.
The other two macs are used a lot as are the three pcs. Oh I forgot about the forth pc it runs Linux

What we really need is a couple of nodes running behind the GFW...I wonder if Lee would run some for us?

This is well beyond chicken

the dashboard is so bloody now, 3 shades of red....

don't worry we are still 103.86% ahead on 100-block average per month....

I rather suffer now then coins galore pn green pastures later...
