No worries...we've got enough roosters here to supply Teotihuacan-level sacrifice for the foreseeable future...

EDIT: The roosters are referred to here as "road warriors" for good reason.

50PH? We were just at 60PH the other day. I like us right at 70-80.

Common block! Let's do this!

Dear Quantum Universe, send us some 'luck'!

Just like I said!  Because of the stale block we will loose another 10ph and we did.

No, it's the same person.

Forgot you lived on the Garden Island.  Yep they're everywhere.  New visitors to the island always cringe when they see one or more on the side of the road after an "incident", most just tell them that there's 20-30 others ready to take it's place!  Now you have me craving for some chicken in a barrel!!!

Well October is just about past, so here is to an amazing November with minimal chicken, rooster, cow, cat or other sacrifices!  I'm sure we are in for an amazing ride and thanks to Kano and everyone cranking on all these beasts!  Mine on!

Well, procrastinating (lazy-ass) me has finally switched all of my miners to the NY node. I have intended to do it since its inception, but..... I never bothered to check the ping times. I'm in IT, BTW, so I should know better...

I'm located in Western North Carolina, so it shouldn't be rocket science for me to use the NYA node.
Anyway, here are my results:

Additionally, a note to @Kano. I know someone has previously offered to add the Kano info to their full node. I don't recall if there was an answer.
I have been running a full node for about a year and I would gladly add the Kano ID/IP to my node if it would help with our block propagation. I usually have about 50 good peers on my node.

If there is any interest, Kano, please feel free to PM me in response. Thanks!

COMEONBLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I'm in IT and just changed to NY node since in in NY yesterday after seeing a mention of it in the thread.  Prior to that I just had it setup with what I saw on the website.

Xena the cat offered my service dog, Sky Pilot...

We both gracefully declined...

Even with current (lack of) luck considered, this is still the...

Hello everyone - fairly new miner here! I love this pool, I love the transparency, and I love the community.

I just upgraded the electric in my house (added a 100amp subpanel and have 5x 240V 20A circuits lined up along my basement wall), and I'm slowly adding more miners. Currently, I have two Avalon 741s mining in the pool. I also have an S7 at work, but I don't have that set up atm.

Question for the more experienced among you: since I've chained the Avalons together, one of them reboots very frequently. I'm only getting an average of 10THs, instead of the 14-15 I should be getting. Both run fine individually. Does anyone have any ideas?

ALSO: LETS GET ANOTHER BLOCK!

[padrinogtr]

Just switched my 3 miners to use nya.kano.is instead of stratum.kano.is after doing a ping and finding I got about 30ms returns from nya while getting 75 ms returns from stratum.

nya was also better for me by over 50ms

sure  the rasp pi powers the auc3  which in turn can daisy chain up to 5 avalon 741's

if the rasp pi has a weak brick it feeds less power to the auc3.

and daisy chains can be weaker with drop outs

so get a better brick  here is the brick I use

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ-Foldable/dp/B071YMZ4LD/ref=sr_1_3?

better micro usb cables
 https://www.amazon.com/Anker-6-Pack-PowerLine-Micro-USB/dp/B015XPU7RC/ref=sr_1_5?

spare 5 pin daisy chain cables
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O9Y80AK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?

those are direct to amazon I make nothing.

those are the cheapest stuff that can be wrong

next is the auc3 itself
then the psu's
lastly the board inside the avalon may not relay the signal correctly.

Perfect - I didn't even think of the controller/auc3. I ordered all of that from Amazon, and I'll get them connected as soon as they get here.

If that doesn't work, I'll try the auc3. I don't think it's the psus but I will isolate.

Appreciate the suggestions.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Not sure if it has been brought up here but given -ck's post on the upcoming B2x fork just to be clear, at least for the foreseeable future we will be mining strictly the Real BTC right?

Personally I say a huge 2x to the fork.

I've had better stability with my two 741s (each uses two 1KW server bricks) with each 741 on its own USB input to the RPi...requires another AUC, but that was nothing. Dunno if that helps.

[AriesIV10]

64hrs, wow! 

[GWhisper]

This luck is starting to get painful. I want to hold out but it's getting harder as time goes by.

As the pools hash decreases our variance obviously increases and makes it even harder which only leads to more hash moving off the pool which increase variance even more and so the cycle continues.

[Toll-Booth-Jim]

I tend to see blocks needing more hashes after a stale block in most if not all the pools I've mined in.  I have a s9 and a ebit e9+ running on this pool, stable finally.  I'm not going to just leave because others are giving up.  We need to band together and be welcoming to new miners big or small.  I'm a tiny fraction of this pools power but if we can get 1000 people like me to become apart of us or 100 people with larger mines then we'll run smooth again.  My advice....Invite, be friendly, beg if you need to lol, jk, just get miners here.  Unless this becomes a situation like bitminter which I mined at for a while that is at 1.5 Ph atm I believe.....not a fact, I haven't checked but that's why I came here.  Whatever, it's way late, i'm rambling all i'm saying is let's keep kano alive!!!!!!!!!!

[rotem8866]

What a bad luck.
just started to mine and joined kano's pool - 4 days without any reward.

Relax buddy!   If 4 days without a reward has you all worked up, you may want to find another hobby, because this is how it goes sometimes.

[MinerSRQ]

Am I missing something?   Is there a problem with the pool?   (software, config, etc.)   

[kano]

I'll be doing another main node restart in about 30 minutes (at 12:15 UTC)
This will cause EVERYONE to failover and fail back.
More patches.

Within about 10 minutes after I do that, I'll also do a KanoDB restart.
This will have some web updates and a few new rules about email addresses.
1) There's a new page Account->Verify that you can verify your email address
2) If you ever change your email address, it require you to verify it before allowing you to change anything else
3) Some accounts I will force on them requiring them to verify their email address before changing anything or mining, if the email address is junk
4) Other accounts I will force on them to verify their email address before changing anything if the email is invalid.

[mdude77]

This is a very low hashrate pool, which means it has very high variance.

Variance means it will take a few months for luck to work out to 100%.  That means there will be long dry spells, like this one.
