I sure would like to bring back the S1s back to life i do have a few left.

Fire them up and point them to ck.'s solo pool .  Using them on a regular pool is just tossing money out the window... at current prices and difficulty you'll be mining $0.46 per day, but costing $0.96 per day - netting you -$0.50 - with an electricity cost of $0.10 per kWh (assuming 200GH/s at 400W).

they would be at solock but for the need of 3 psu@750 watts or one huge one

Even overclocked you don't need more than a 500W psu for an S1.

You do if you have 6 of 16 left in ownersip

Just want to know, I'm new to mining the ckPool. I have 2 r-Box 110Gh USB & 1 S3+. They keep losing the pool, restarting, etc. Is there a trick to keeping these going uninterrupted? I know I don't have the fastest on the block, yet I want to be supportive, and it's all my budget allows, right now. I hate to have them running, but doing basically nothing. I do have backup pools entered, but it isn't where I want them. I have a good access. Any ideas?

Thanks


Edit: I'm using the 3333 port. Is one of the others a better option or are they setup for the big boys?

There is a bug in the pool software. Kano and CK are working on it. Makes your miners disconnect on restarts.      
I have been here since September  after trying many other pools and found this the best.
Kano and CK are the BEST pool operators they always are working to improve our (miners) odds.

This will not effect our ability to find blocks, just look at the last 3 in stats.

Good Luck

Over the previous 24 hours there were quite a few restarts.
Edit: and if anyone was looking closely they may have noticed I dns redirected the pool to different hardware/a different IP address for over a day to check for hardware issues

Everything has been ok so far since the last restart - but that was only 2.5 hours ago.

The different ports are there to help anyone who has ports blocked or problem ports with their ISP.
In general it's not a better or worse option to use one port vs the others.

[CapnBDL]

Thanks kano,

Being new to the pool, I thought it was something I had setup wrong.

Edit: just went thru the entire thread plus a few others. Nothing but good things about you and ck. I must be in the right place!!

Hi, explain how the distribution is dependent on the payment and why.

6 of 16 in ownership?  Sorry, not sure I understand what you are stating.

[SergES]

And easier? Interested dependence. How much payment for the unit found. Does the reward for the unit from the power asic? All this reading, but how it works here....

6 S1 in retirement need 3 psu

Try a different translator, or try your local language board.

Angers me to see people paying out of their own pockets when the manufacturer should be. Not like they can't afford it, right?

Not sure if you've seen my language on the forum in the past ... I can get quite colourful.

To be blunt - I had not very nice things to say to bitmain people regarding that ... since as I said it was their comment saying that they don't want to support the older hardware.

Meanwhile on a different note ... I just restarted the ckpool 10minutes ago - after 24hours of stable running.
Would have been some failover.
More updates, but hoepfully more stability as we have also had in the past 24hrs.

---

I should also add some people in other pools have made comment about me commenting in other threads ...
but that was something I did all the time (for over 3 years) before I started the pool here last year.
You could say that the crap I've seen other pools do are some of the things that I make sure I don't do.

Simplest version (since it's posted here already a few times)

Each share (in the ~500% diff shares before the block was found) gets rewarded ~1/5 PPS per block.
Each share expects to get rewarded (on average) 5 times, i.e. in 5 blocks.

I payout from the block coinbase txn 99.1% to the miners after +101 confirms.

I believe I've made significant inroads into finding the cause of the long standing bug which recently has become much more pronounced after investigating for the last week solid (see ckpool git for the number of patches recently committed). It's too early call it fixed but it has not shown up for a longer stretch than in a while and we've ruled out numerous other possible causes so this was the first scheduled restart in a while, and hopefully we can leave the pool in peace for a bit.

And now for some blocks please.

[CapnBDL]

kano...I don't run with the big boys but like to think I play well with others. Happy to have found the ckPool!!

Good work being done there. Thanks for the time you & ck put into everything you do.

Happy Mining!

[swilla]

You guys rock! I have a quick question. Are there known issues with the s2? I'm asking because I just got one and it refuses to connect to the pool. Is there anything I can try or should I just point it at ck pool? Again, thank you guys, for all that you do.
