Wow, a little two-fer block action!  

That second block happened so fast there was not a lot of room for transaction fees!  

And there is our 2nd payout of the day!

Block by cobramining!  This is your 40th Kano block and our 1st of BLOCK Sunday! 

April keeps rolling along! 

Yeah it's been a very kind April considering the difficulty increases and I'm loving the GREEN!!!!

I'm so glad I pointed all of my miners back to Kano on March 31!

I spent most of the afternoon and evening yesterday breaking all of my miners down and gave each one a very, very good cleaning inside and out. They were FILTHY inside! (I shamefully admit I haven't done this in the time I've had then - almost a year.) 

I rented about 6 hours worth of 50TH hash to make up for my miners being off-line.

I took both fans off of each and cleaned each fan thoroughly with a toothbrush, a damp rag, a nice electric blower from work. The fans are now almost spotless. I took each hash board out one by one, cleaned the fins with the toothbrush - the intake end was filthy with caked on dust and grim - I then blew out any remaining dust. Then wiped down the aluminum chassis one by one inside and out.




I'm happy to report I am now able to run the S9's in the coin room without the intake box fans in the windows. Because it's raining pretty hard right now, has been all night, and is expected to rain for the rest of the day.

Previously, I would have had to shut the miners down because of the rain. But they are now running cool enough to forgo the window fans. I just moved the miner racks farther away from the windows and they are chugging away at a nice temperature  ~50-52 TH hash rate. (The highest chip temp of the four S9's is 96C on one board.

Looks like I will be able to keep them online during the frequent spring and summer rain storms around here.

Sorry if this is a bit OT. But it IS about my BTC miners running on Kano at a steady and now, continuous hash rate!

COMEONSUNDAYBLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

MINE ON!!!   

wmabern  I was haveing some major heat issues last weekend when it got really hot up here in ny and my garage were I have my 3 S9s was cooking hot.   A window fan was not helping very much to get the heat out.   Then I moved them all to a shelf closer to a window which helped a lot to just blow most of the hot all straight out the window but also know I could not keep em that way in case of hard rain blowing in and some of the hot air was still staying in the garage. So i pulled them back on the shelf and then added some of them 3d printed fan shrouds and about 2 foot of dryer hose to each on and now have the hoses going directly out the window and let a few inchs of the hose stick out so they point down a and no rain can get in to them now at all.  and my air temps in the garage is only about 5 degrees more than the outside air temp at the hottest point in the day.  The only thing left for me to do is put in the pcs of wood I intend to use to cover the window and stick the hoses threw for added rain or snow protection.

Cool. I need to setup something like that with the ducting in the coming weeks to prepare for a hot summer. My only problem is that the two air intake windows are not opposite the only exhaust window I have. It would also take about 20+ feet of ducting for each miner. If I owned the property I would make some room modifications. Since I don't I can't. But I'll figure it out.

P.S. Love the Dead stickers on your window. I started following the boys in 1977.  

[wmabern]

I just looked at my Shift Graph page and it shows a more than 20TH drop right after that last block. ??
My miners are all OK and running at expected hash and my workers page shows all is well.

Anyone else have this happen?
Thanks!

lol the danceing bears were on the window when we moved in back in 2000. Tho ive been a fan of the boys since the mid 80s.

If you do any sort of set up with the hose try to keep them as short as you can by getting them as close to the exhaust window as you can get them and then as far as make up incoming air. If you're inside a house just make sure you have a way for enough incoming air to be able to come in from outside so you dont get negative pressure in the room. which can be really bad if you have any type of heating system or any thing in your house producing carbon monoxide that can end up being sucked in rather then going out the chimmy.

I had an unexplainable almost 20 th drop a few days ago. When I seen it in the shit graph it looked just like if I had shut down the miners. But had no power outages and nothing in the config page showing they even had any sort of fall over take place.  So I chalked it up to my internet connection possibly going down for a few mins.

Yep, I see a pretty sharp drop on my Sift Graph but all of my miners look okay.  Even my worker list is still showing good numbers.  It might have something with that quick 2nd block and the fast shift change.

My shares are still climbing as well on the workers page.

Thanks. Just glad I am not alone with the drop. Then I would start worrying about my internet connection instead of relaxing on this very rainy Sunday!
The quick blocks/shifts makes sense.

Mine On!

Same thing for me. Most likely the block happened so quickly that some of the miners did not have time to submit shares. Similar thing happened to me on the 15th when we had a quick block, except it went the other way and my shares spiked about 20ths extra.

Yes, I noticed my stale shares also went through the roof. My Shift page shows that I only submitted 9 shares during those 8 seconds. LOL
All is back to normal now and the shift graph shows an immediate rebound.

COMEONBLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO MORE (or more) for TODAY!

Thats actually making a lot of sense. right after a block if found my hash rate on the workers page always drops bit time before spiking back up. even every time a block is even found on the network and then new work haveing to be submitted. 

a block was just found about 2 mins ago and for the first 9 seconds my hash rate on 2 of my 3 workers dropped to zero th and one down to 5 for a few seconds then climbed right back up in about 30 seconds or so.

Of course it's still Sunday evening in my little, rainy corner of the world!
