KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2436 blocks

Come on with the payouts Fellas and Ladies.
Kano has been good to us and many days or nights has stayed up extra time to push payouts.

I know the big cheeses have priority lists, and auto payouts or some form of such is there.

It has been working well for a long time and let's be a little more patient to see what drops.


On another note... the S9s are spanking ass. Mine are Batch 1. I have some work to complete for my exhaust in my mining room this weekend so I am not going to throw up pics of the miners, but I wanted to show they are mining on kano.is without any issues.
You may notice my 3rd hash board seems to be generating more errors. Actually, almost every error. My ambient temperatures have been extremely hot here this week. Heat index over 46 c. I am changing my cooling paths / setup this weekend. I was extremely well off last summer with my temps during similar temperatures. I will post some updates next week.

Phillip has shared some good NFO in the main S9 thread. I will use it or something similar.  

One negative is that damn whistling. I do not like the placing of tape on my grills. I have a setup where my miners are isolated from anyone but myself, not that I cannot make mistakes. One person mentioned to pull the grill so I will try that and if it works I have plenty of grills to try different grill mods, maybe cut a portion out around the area where I test some tape with first. I need my airflow unrestricted, and I tried small, the smallest pieces of tape. I always ended up heating up one blade a bit more which is unacceptable.
Phillip shared some good information he tested which he picked up from another forum member
Bitmain knows this is an issue, but they also know we are going to buy these bad babies whistle or no whistle. If anyone has any suggestions outside of the grill or applying tape please pass them forward.

Everyone stay safe, rock the block, and keep on keepin on,

I dont have the woo-woo sound on my S9 Batch 1 - guess I am lucky with this one, compared to my S7 experience.

Dust was also an issue, lessons learnt from S7 deployment, so I tried the Lowe filter idea from Philip but temps increased significantly across all boards. I ended up using a pantyhose as a dust filter since I dont have the woooo sound.

5 out 7 of my S7s have this wooo sound and the only trick that worked was to underclock and put the fans at 54% - same here I tried the tape thing, deflector thing almost all the ideas discussed in the forum for S7 back then - but it resulted in heating problems.

I am glad I don't have this problem with this unit... anyways it won't matter since this unit and all the incoming ones will go to a hosted location.

If you are home mining, the woo sound is an irritating issue... it won't be funny anymore when you have tens of these in your garage - it attracts attention unnecessarily.

You have really high ambient temps correct? So the filters need to be thin.  The pantyhose may be good.
I have some screening for screen repairs.  I may try the, on batch 2 coming next week

I can see these are really good miners in cool temps with powerful psus
I think the bitmaintech psus are not good enough to run this gear

I think an 1800 watt psu is better.

Speaking of payouts, the last one I see in my wallet is for block 416506.
Is that correct?

Yep, that's last payout. Remember payments are manual

Thanks. Yes, I know. Just wasn't sure if I missed logging one.  

Yeah I did send them during the night, but was just after the last block we found (that woke me up and I sent a few)
All due are queued but 416506 was the last one I queued before we found a block.
The rest (currently 6 from 416617 to 416676) of course, will be confirmed by the next block we find.

kano, is it possible to put a tick or equivalent with date stamp next to the Account/Block line entries... this way we know whats paid and whats pending. thanks

On day ... I'll get accounting done.

Find some bitcoins
That I can hide
Silent server
eluded me
Sudden darkness
That I can't see

No coins today for my coffee
No coins today for my tea
No coins were send to my wallet
How can that be

Hello. Sorry if a bit off topic but I'm hoping someone can help.

I received a payment through bitcoin over three days ago which is still unconfirmed. The sender only used a fee of 5 sat /byte (tx is roughly 5500 bytes) so obviously that's the problem.

Is there a way for me to provide a payment on the side to someone to locate this tx and include it in a block they mine? I'd be happy to to send .05 btc just to finally get it confirmed.

Since you're criticizing his reading comprehension, it seems that he was making a poem to express the agony of not finding a block. (it even sorta rhymes!)

Not really. You'll have to wait for it to confirm or be returned for not having a high enough fee.

A+ for the poem, Klamp   

Maybe you send another poem that starts with "Oh blocks, where are you?" while we eagerly wait for the long awaited block.

This next block, the long awaited one will trigger the payments, about 8 pmts!

I edited my post. Apologies.

Listening to an oldie by The Guess Who,  "No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature" while opening my MultiBit Classic, hey, humor is the best "medicine", wait a minute, let's see, "Bad Medicine" by bon jovi, no I won't touch that one !

I support this pool, mainly because the name rocks!!

I support this pool, mainly because the name rocks!! 

I was at Slush previously until, I stumbled into kano ckpool late last year.

Then I suddenly saw the light.... I was attracted to the nice charts, fancy webpages but what I really wanted was the pure simplicity no nonsense pool with the highest payment system - I found that in this pool.

After learning about 5ND and experiencing it in action, I never turned back.

Plus the kano forum thread is never a dull moment - met many friends here and got useful advice and business contacts too.

And the occasional slap on the wrists by the two legendary moderators for going off topic and the frequent odd-balls discussion adds some spice and amusement to our BTC mining journey.

I do want to add one thing though.... that pool members exercise more courtesy, respect, take note of time-zones and.... simply being nice.... I have seen the dark-side of other threads where everything there has gone haywire, very rude and not professional at all.

Out of the 1179 users in the pool, a significant number I believe spread across 5 nodes outside of USA, are non-US and perhaps even non-English speaking countries, so at times when posting in this thread, please do take note of country, culture etc. ie. not everyone know who is Zinedine Zidane? or "Is Singapore part of China?" 

Enough of the rambling -- where is that block.... the last big massive RED block 392% diff was only 4 days ago... who would have known... another one is around the corner... Keep Calm and Mine On!

Don't you hate it when you realize you are too literal minded.

Hardest thing on the net is to express the intent of a post. Between multi languages and multi cultures it is very easy to make an error. also typed words are hard to sense jokes sarcasm etc.

I am an Italian- Norwegian  American .
So if I go to an Italian American wake/Funeral  there is a dinner at a restaurant or a home.  With food food food food and more food.  No alcohol is served or it would be  an insult to the deceased .
So if a go to a Norwegian American wake/Funeral there is a dinner at a restaurant not a home.  With some food and alcohol is served since a toast or two or three will be given and it would be an insult not to toast the dead.

BTW  more blocks please been too long.

Couldn't agree more with everything you said. I also started at a different pool bc of fancy screens but found this pool and never looked back. I'm a tiny hobbie miner so I don't have a lot invested, but this is an awesome group of folks here and the support and participation of -ck & Kano is outstanding. So much fun here

By the way, I see Juvia is now dressed for summer! 
Happy mining!

[citronick]

BLOCK!!!!

Thanks Jose!

[philipma1957]

BLOCK!!!!

Thanks Jose!

and I just got online to see it.  nice I just went from .43 to .57 on the address for kanos pool

[wmabern]

While I certainly miss the ~10PH of hash we are running without now - as we seem to do much better around 43-44PH - the only bright side is that my block percentage is higher.
I'm only running my three S7's, so every little bit helps.

Let's crack a few more blocks on this pleasant Saturday. Temps in the low 80's high 70's outside with a nice steady breeze coming off the mountains. The machines are happy!  

[PantminerS7]

Finally cloudy here in the arctic circle. The ever-present sun has yielded, and my machine is finally running somewhat silently.

To top it all off, the pool found a block while I was baking scones. Sweet.

[firetreeactual]

Been busy with local stuff...still missing a dogsled, but no worries...

I agree, Citronick. I was also previously with Slush for some time, although I also delved into a couple of others just out of curiosity. What I've noticed on this thread lately (reading through the last few days that I essentially missed) is that the pool's popularity, and perhaps a spot price around the Kuiper Belt, seems to have attracted new miners (a good thing) who can perhaps benefit from some Zen-based support (only half-kidding). We've all been there at some time or another.

OT can be fun occasionally, but we have to know when to hold 'em as well.
