Sorry for the offtopic, but because some of you are talking about avalons, I was thinking in getting one.

In a scale from 1 to S7, how loud are these?

Avalon 6 is quieter and less nasty pitch.

I am on iPad  so linking to my threads on the Avalon 6 threads is not easy.

The delta fan s-6 was pretty quiet

The newer fan was louder.

I got a case of very good sub fans that worked Sanyo ace

Thanks Phil, as a previous owner of S1s, S3s, SP20 and Dell server psus I though the s7 was another kinda loud miner, but damn, it is more louder and dangerous, my house can't stand it.

Yeah, smth is going on there in China. Canaan Creative now has a new owner as far as I understand... http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-mining-asic-acquired-avalon/

I just bought one, and it is MUCH quieter than either the 1 or 2-fan S7s I had here.

EDIT: It's even quieter than the pair of S3s that are still running right below it.

I haven't look at it, and I can't stand a language that decides code execution based on invisible characters ... so I avoid python completely ... and no that's not a complaint about your code Just thought I'd mention that

+1 on Python's idiotic reliance on indentation for delineating code blocks. Makes it a pain to copy and insert code from other developers because some (the right thinking ones) use tabs and others (the wrong thinking ones) use spaces. Yeah, I come down on the tab side in that religious war

What's wrong with using explicit characters, like braces, for code blocks for crap's sake?

But even with pain in the ass of having to entab and normalize text more often than I'd like, I find Python too damn useful for small scale needs. It's great for limited scripts and glue between other tools. More often than not I start writing what I thought would be a simple script in Bash, then I get over some number lines or need to do anything complex then wish I'd used Python.

That said I'm glad you're not using Python for this pool. I assume that it's all compiled C, and it shows.

I recently started running a proxy and it's really interesting what you see in the logs. Kano.is and the ck solo pool are both rock solid on the connection front. Literally zero disconnects.

F2Pool (which I have as a third backup) shows something like 40 disconnects a day. Some other pools that I won't mention seem similarly shaky.

Running a proxy has been very eye opening...

If you set our pool as your third priority it is normal to have disconnect every half an hour or so because you are not submitting shares so that your connection's priority will be reduced and it may be seen as dead connection by the server as well.

So a block happened whole 18 minutes ago and no one mentioned it!

Block!

So you're saying that if I was submitting shares your pool would appear to suck less.

Maybe. But then there's the empty blocks and whatnot.

Well it's a quiet time of the UTC - though I know about it before anyone but the person who found it could know about it and report them in irc as I did with that one

There of course is the fact that they pay less also.

That's expected to pay less, not luck based at all

They pay under 100% PPS coz they take away fees from the PPS miners.

Here we are EXPECTED to pay OVER 100% PPS.

But lots of people are stupid enough to mine there, so, I guess that's their problem for wanting to be paid less than mining here

Hmm, quiet again - another block by kranium again

[VRobb]

I'm a little late but let's hear it for kranium using their electronic head to crack the last block!  Schweet!

[firetreeactual]

I do like waking up to a block or two...or three...or...

Waiting on my next A6 that shipped. This one seems really sensitive to being physically moved once it's hashing...disconnects, reconnects, etc. when there doesn't appear to be any problem with connections, etc. Interesting. Solution...just don't move it. 

[Sierra8561]

Positive energy from me today. Let the blocks roll in.

[clgrissom3]

Man, I had to sleep in this morning...I was totally exhausted from the stump grinding work I did all day yesterday.  It's good to see the 2 blocks overnight!  Good job 18EirzXnr and kranium!

Go grind more stumps. It seems to bring us good luck

I rented a stump grinder from home depot about 6 months ago.... I think I'm still sore from the lashing it gave me.

That's where I rented mine also...I can barely walk today!  They had a larger self-propelled model but I was too cheap to pay the extra $100.  The 13 HP model did the job but it I had to endure about 10 hours of pure physical beating to get it done.  It was funny how every time I went out to use it we hit blocks!

[firetreeactual]

Well, let's see...I gotta go to Home Depot after the audiologist for a couple of micro-USB cables for the Raspberry Pi's...maybe that'll be good for a block or two. I couldn't grind a stump if my life depended on it.

Haha!  Add the Home Depot luck to the Kano pool!  Actually, they have RC stump grinders...you can operate them from the comfort of your lawn chair and just watch the action...
