curious - could these type of attacks cause the issue I was having?

No

darn, I want to find the cause lol sigh miner #5 just disconnected/reconnected while i was typing this. It only lasted a few seconds though so it didnt even trigger the disconnection notice from awesome miner. I will try another port tomorrow. until then I hope we find another block!

What firmware are you running in your miners? (and when did you change it?)

What firmware are you running in your miners? (and when did you change it?)

the latest LPM Firmware for each S9 version - 1102 for the S9's, 1107 for the S9j's and 1107 for the S9i's as well - did all of them on the 8th

Well you can actually ping them from in the S9 web interface - but I'm not sure which tab it is.

I cannot find out how to do this - I want to try though as I am curious if the ping varies directly at the miner from what it is at my pc.

edit: i have also shut down awesome miner - not sure if it could be the issue either but gotta start trying to narrow this down.

The ping for an S9 is in bmminer under Network/Diagnostics.  Just put stratum.kano.is in the ping box and click Ping.  You can also ping us.kano.is and jp.kano.is but I believe all the rest are AWSLS nodes and you can't use a normal ping on those.

See this post about using tcping for AWSLS nodes.

About using only port 8080 only with tcping.

this is much larger ping than from my pc to kano.is but still under 100

I just tested and you can direct ping nya.kano.is as well.

ahh yes i should ping that one as that is the one i am using.... still have not finished my coffee this morning.

my guess is that it has something to do with the Awesome Miner software - I shut it off for nearly 3/4 of a day and zero disconnects - average hash rate is higher even - over 70 rather than 68-69. I turn Awesome Miner on and had 3 of the 5 disconnect within 5 mins. The program should not have  that effect but it seems to be - unless I can find another cause.

Keep looking, but keep us posted as well.  I use Awesome Miner on over 100 S9s with little problems.  I do see the occasional disconnect, but nothing serious.

I have 4 copies of awesome miner (the 10 rig versions) as I have them in different locations on different networks. and none of my other ones are having these issues. I look at the time AM was running and realized I have over a hundred shifts of zero where my miner was running but not connected to Kano - so I have had to ramp back up a little - last payout was about half of what it normally is. Luckily they did fail over to another pool.

The M10s that i got from minefarmbuy has been running since yesterday.

Finally broke the 100TH/s wall. Running at around 119 now 


Mine on

1.5 days no disconnects. turned on awesome miner, miner 3 disconnected/reconnected twice, miner 1 and 4 disconnected/reconnected once and 2 disconnected/reconnected 5 times --- miner 3 did not disconnect/reconnect --- all within about a 10 minute window.

I am running 4 separate instances/licences of awesome miner and this is the only one giving me issues. I plan to delete the program - clear the config files - and reinstall and see if it remains. I must have tweaked something I should not have tweaked.

... and if you are into monitoring in detail (without alerts) I've put a new version of miner.php in Discord for anyone to grab and use.
Includes breaking down the MM details in Avalon stats, and finding the various numbers in the S9s since the various bitmain firmware change the numbers around.

Thanks Cryptostar!  This is our 1st of our BLOCK FRIDAY PARTY!

woohoo a block! now if only I was not ramping back up I lost 4 days so only on day 4 now of ramping back up.

Ouch! Well, at least you got some rewards on the way down, and if it ever happens again, you'll get some more ramp-down rewards. Yay for PPLNS!

Newly unemployed people generally like it when they get those withheld paychecks! That's how I like to think of PPLNS even though it's technically just an average your contribution over the past 5Nd. Your contribution drops, so does your reward.

yea those 4 days were rough, I think my miners put in like 6 or 7 shifts total for the 4 days.

Well since the 5Nd is around 8 days, your 5Nd hash rate should have ended up about half normal, and with about 1/2 rewards if you turned them back on just when we found the block, and increasing more than half since then.

Anybody with more than one miner controller is really missing out if they aren't using Kano's miner.php API webpage that can be found at the following location:

API-README (Ctrl+F "miner.php" for instructions far below):
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/API-README

Miner.php:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/miner.php

If you get stuck, search for "miner.php" on Kano's Discord channel--join from the link in Kano.is--and you'll find where we were discussing it there. I just got mine fully functional today, and it's so awesome not to have to log into multiple RPis to see what's going on across multiple brands/series of miners! I highly recommend it.

Mine on with Kano & Monitor on with Miner.php!!!

EDIT: Kano also uploaded a Discord-only version with pages dedicated to Avalons and the S9.
