I could use some help for converting BTC to BCH

I'd like to see if I can convert some BTC to BCH and get one of the S9's to add a little more hashing power to my units.

Wavelengthsf, thank you for the explanation. I still don't get it tho hahaha. I think I need to give it at least 2 weeks to understand what you guys are saying.

Itza, Mike Strand (minergain), thank you guys. I'm sure it'll all equal out in the end. But Slush pool luck has really scared me off recently.

When I started mining there when Nicehash went down, the pool hash rate was at 0.9Eh. Now it's doubled. We were getting 20+ blocks daily on that 1Eh. And now that Slush is almost at 2Eh, we're doing well below 20 blocks daily. I know difficulty has increased and stuff, but it shouldn't really be a problem when you double up in hash power... I thought we'd me mining at least 30 blocks daily.

Because ViaBTC pool just mined 27 blocks when Slush mined 11 blocks 2 days ago. Yesterday, ViaBTC mined 22 but Slush mined 17. I'm referencing ViaBTC because they're right at 2.2Eh which is slightly over Slush.

Anyways, don't care about the last few blocks Slush mined, I'm just glad I found a pool with this much community support. Thanks guys!

I've noticed the luck going down at slush as well...it's just one of those times.   kano's pool had "bad" luck for the past four months technically, would be nice to see the actual blocks "cracked" more than the expected this month.   

For reals, Slush luck in last 2 weeks was just... Ehh. Anyways, to attract more miners to Kano, I started writing on couple of Facebook groups that I know, and on Reddit etc. Hopefully we're gonna get more hash power as well as luck.

I'd like to see if I can convert some BTC to BCH and get one of the S9's to add a little more hashing power to my units.

The steps are pretty straight forward. Find an address that has both BTC and BCH from before the fork. Move the BTC from that address to another one. Export the private key of the now empty BTC address and import it into a BCH wallet.

My phone is buzzing crazy getting emails from Slush. Miner on, miner off, miner on, miner off... Getting disconnected from Kano and connecting to Slush.

Is it Kano or my internet..?

Hey Everyone,

I am new to mining and bit confused between Kano pool and other. I have 4 S9's and just wanted to compare the pools so I mined for 5 days at Kano with 2 s9's and 2 with other pool. So far at Kano pool we found 3 blocks since i have joined and Other pool i get daily payouts. After 5 days testing results are:

KanoPool:
Total BTC paid: 0.0098165
Other Pool BTC paid: 0.020124

How is it Kano pool is paying bit lesser than those high fee pool? is it because i have only contributed 5 days ? or am i Missing soemthing here?

No Bad intentions here just trying to understand with everypool and etc

Thanks in Advance

Because here you've not received your full reward yet.
You reward for each share is spread out over the 5Nd after you submit the share, to reduce variance.
So while on those other pools you get nothing more if you stop mining, here your reward per block will ramp down after you stop mining.
Currently the 5Nd ramp is roughly 15 days, so if you do a runner today you'll keep getting (smaller and smaller) rewards for probably another 15 days.
Of course that number "15 days" is based on the size of the pool and changes all the time.
See Help->Payouts for the above information and more.

Ah I see that makes sense.

Do you know why payment for blocks 504094 and 504121 did not show up. In blockchain it says it failed "Unable to decode output address" which i believe Kano Pool's address?

Notice you also have your preference #3 getting some shares, which means your slushpool connection in #2 isn't that good either.

Those blocks hadn't confirmed by the time we found block 504174.   Once we find another block, we will have a total of three payments coming from that block.

Oh man, must be my network or something...

It's past 2 am and I'm exhausted... Come on Bitcoin things!!! Lol.

I'd like to see if I can convert some BTC to BCH and get one of the S9's to add a little more hashing power to my units.

Set up a Blockchain.info wallet.  It's pretty simple to do with that one.  Coinbase can do it also.

Oh I see. So weird my wallet sent me email yesterday there was 2 payments of bitcoin coming and i checked they were unconfirmed (because it was just recent) and i checked today both transactions are gone lol so i though maybe Kano put wrong Wallet ID something... Okay will wait till we find block 4174.

Also Moved all s9 (6of them) to Kano i like it better than most pools out there. Still noob though

Thanks for input

Hello Kano,
When are we going  to get back the held payouts?
Thank you

Nobody reads anymore. 

This is just a matter of trust. i sure Kano reads. and i am waiting for his reply.

He answered the question a few pages back. Rifleman was referring to you, not Kano. Kano has stated that the dust payments will go out "sometime this year". Basically you will receive the payment with the next 350 days or so.

yes, but the PSU's are likely to be BCH only, which will mess up the order... they are pretty tricky this way. unless you make 2 separate orders, or don't need the 220V PSUs...

You can use other PSU's for miners, that's one good thing about these miners.

Just order PSU's separately - they ship separately anyways so shouldn't be a huge problem.

Hello All!

Has anyone had any experience with the following power supply?

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAA0C6UU2914&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-9SIAA0C6UU2914&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8-uN1MHa2AIVUUsNCh3wUw_eEAYYAiABEgK_h_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have been running on OLD OLD junk power supplies and it's time to upgrade!

I only have 4 S7's but you have to start somewhere so... Do you think that power supply will really run 2 S7's reliably or should I look elsewhere?

Mine on!
