I'm seeing something strange...60% of my miners are down according to the Workers page, Shift Graph, and the Shifts page but when I look at the miners work is still being accepted just like normal??

Well check your DNS isn't being MitM hacked then I guess? (i.e. make sure all the IPs are correct)

Code:

# host stratum.kano.is
stratum.kano.is has address 54.214.217.240
stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.82.84
stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.199.209
# host nya.kano.is
nya.kano.is has address 104.207.132.42
# host uk.kano.is
uk.kano.is is an alias for uk1.kano.is.
uk1.kano.is has address 35.178.130.164
# host de.kano.is
de.kano.is is an alias for de1.kano.is.
de1.kano.is has address 18.197.51.199
# host jp.kano.is
jp.kano.is has address 107.191.60.255
# host sg.kano.is
sg.kano.is has address 52.221.231.107

Also of course check what IP it's actually talking to.

Looks to be correct...

Name:      stratum.kano.is
Address 1: 18.236.82.84 ec2-18-236-82-84.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Address 2: 18.236.199.209 ec2-18-236-199-209.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Address 3: 54.214.217.240 ec2-54-214-217-240.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Except for stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.82.84

Yeah the order doesn't matter - it changes each time you do a lookup.
That's how stratum.kano.is distributes the users over 3 servers - coz the answer will be somewhat random.

Very cool simionatof hitting your first Kano block with only 15TH/s!

There's hope for all miners!

Congratulations and thanks simionatof !!

Toomim is looking into it now...

does anyone have a defected board they do not want? Just want to remove the PCIe connectors and replace them on a working board.
Couldn't find those female PCIe connectors online.


appreciate it.
thanks.

My first pool is the stratum on all my miners and I just rebooted a couple.  Everything is showing as alive and the rebooted machines are getting work and work is being accepted just like normal but they are still showing down on kano.is.

Mine did the same thing. About 25 miners. After a reboot all showed as mining on the miner and in awesome miner, but not on Kano.is. After a few hours, I pm'd Kano and he suggested a reboot. I tried it again and it worked. So you might just wanna try it a second time, or have Toomim do a cold boot.

If you mean the hash board power connectors, those are male (pins) - not female (sockets). Made by Molex and I believe are their Mini-fit series. PM Lightfoot for hard info as he repairs boards all the time.

I rebooted all miners last might and did not work... Rebooted server and the hub/switch and seemed to fix it... Something really weird must have caused this cause several people are commenting on same thing...

anyway all good and back to mining with KANO!

Close but no cigar. Look for the next size down in the family. The ones you want are good for either 5 or 8a per-circuit - not 23a.

edit: These are the ones https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0455580003_PCB_HEADERS.xml
DigiKey, Mouser, Allied. etc should carry them. If possible get the ones with either silver or gold plating to handle max current.

How does one know or find out when it is a good time to consolidate transactions?

I've heard others say they can control their cost by having an option or something?

I've been using Exodus wallet and it is a flat fee no matter what -- with no options or control.

Just looking to do one of 2 things, figure out when the best times to consolidate are (via a program or app)?? or get a new wallet of some kind that gives you those options.

Any help or direction in either scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Pecker!

... using a full core wallet will allow you to enable coin control and also select the fee.
Coin control lets you choose the actual transaction inputs so e.g. if you wanted to, you can consolidate just the pool payouts into one address.

- well to be correct you can up to 0.14.2 but I've not gone near their wallet code since that - the wallets (at home - mine and the pool) are both 0.14.2
All the mining is 0.16.0 but there's no wallets anywhere online with the pool.


However, I'd not suggest you run any wallet on a windows computer - only on a linux computer.

I'm running Bitcoin Core 16.0 on a slimmed-down flavor of Ubuntu (Lubuntu).

It takes patience/runtime to keep it synced with the blockchain, but it works great!

Ledger gives you the option of selecting the fee...sometimes it takes an hour or so, but it has ALWAYS been picked up within about 20 blocks....

you can use this site to see how long it will take to consolidate  with a given fee. Currently 1 sat/byte will settle in under 1.5 hours!
