but what better, fixed diff or vardiff?

Neither of those are related directly to hash rate.

They are related directly, only, to how much of the elapsed time of the 5Nd you mined, which may not have been the full time depending upon various circumstances with your miner and the pool.

Edit: or you could just look at the pool graph and see a spike down that is part of the 2nd 3 and not part of the first 3

Lastly you will also note that your % is the same for each of the 6 - try checking that to a few extra places.
That would give the same explanation also.

sorry for the invalids but my s2 was acting up sending more then normal invalids i think its due to the temperature in my garage being about 20 degrees for some reason anything i have with a sd card does not like the cold i had to move my minera raspberrypi and now my s2 into my house testing it to see if its due to the temp my s1's are find though

[thedreamer]

Pool restart...please

its def the cold.. i live in illinois.. Couple things to note..Bitmain has a bug in the temp code.. if your miner gets below 32 deg F or 0 C then it will show 252 deg c in the control panel till it gets to 1 degree C which will stop the boards from hashing due to overheat fault. you have to blow some warm air into the machine till it starts hashing. hair dryer works great.  Also ive tried disabling the over 80c temp feature but it doesnt work when temps get below -10c or 20 deg F. the chips just dont like it that cold.  What sucked for me was when Kano would reset the pool and the machines would stop hashing but the fans stayed on full due to them being warm.> but if a machine glitched and didnt failover or start hashing for kano soon enough it would get too cold again. I had to go and mess with them a lot more than usual this winter    But the losses i was incurring for months at slush had to be stopped!

Next diff jump will be 23 %.. I put my last 4 s4 on my own solo pool to help the network while i sell off everything.. Im done buying machines.. Only in sell mode now.. Looks like the big boys will push us all right out the door.> Just like every industry around if you have enough money the little guy loses!.. Imagine in 50 years what it will be like when they own and control everything! meh

Anyone need any S7 coupons?

I'll give them to you for free if you're a kano miner and actually are going to use them.
I got six available, valued at 0.05BTC

There was also a high share about 7 hours ago: (about 2.25hrs before we got the block)

Code:

[2016-02-10 07:34:36.738+11] Share ok Diff 98.0% (141162320081/144116447847.3) --- Pool 213413120924.0 213G 148.08%

(previous one was 9 days ago)

Comparing these numbers to my highest share currently makes me realize how incredibly far off all my equipment is.  I know it's all luck but man this difficulty is getting crazy high.

This is not really anything new. The difficulty has been completely fucked since we left the GPU era. The difficulty is designed to protect bitcoin, not miners.

Id argue that the rate of hash increase in one centrally located area(china of all places!) is more a threat to the network than it is good!! And thats coming from a guy who no longer has nothing to lose from this experiment Or gain. I have 1 btc in a trezor! and im selling off all my hw.  It goes to show you that bitcoin can be taken over if resources such as cheap mining machines and practically free power are at hand. I for one see a new coin coming to fruition if china keeps up this charge.. Mark my words!!

figured it was that my garage is very cold i live in missouri and my garage is 33ft x 40 ft only insulation is in the walls so it gets freakin cold in there

its hashing away in my house now maybe i should build a box for the miner to sit in where it would have some warmth to keep it above that temp

[d57heinz]

Yea that should work restrict the back of the box so that it bounces some of the air back to the intake while still letting some out into the garage.  Last year this time i was running 150 machines. I just turned off the intake/exhaust fans to my farm and let the heat escape naturally.  This year its been such an up and down winter temp wise that it made it hard to just set it and forget it. as its 60 one day and 15 the next!  I think alot of my issues are that the code in the bitmain miners is shit and kano is still improving the pool.. so it made it tough to keep them all alive during the restarts.. I may have gotten aggravated a while back but it is what it is.. I was thankful i found this place when i did or i would have been done mining months ago being on slush pool.

It blocks a row, not selectively, I do not think that a row spike down 3-5 bloks...

Pool Restart time!!!  We needzzzz some blocks......  Daddy is out of money to pay for Electricity.  =0

no doubt these hours and hours long blocks need to go away. unfortunately i think this will become the norm unless we as a pool grow.

Actually, since this is a 5Nd pool, any large spike up or down will have an effect on the next 3-5 blocks...that's how 5Nd works.  Bottom line is over the long haul it will not matter which way you set it so pick vardiff or fixed diff and have at it.  The default is vardiff and it has worked well for me over time.  I personally trust kano and ck to know how to run the best pool environment possible...bar none!

[nhando]

And growing we are.  Almost 25PH from the 3PH when I first join.  We're heading to 40PH soon.  Just need to kick the server and it will throw out some blocks for us like the Vending machines.   Let me kick it up to 25PH now.   =)

[thedreamer]

Yeah. I recommend a pool restart every 5 hours..

[hoosier_13]

Based on the total hash rate and current difficulty it looks like we should get about 3 blocks a day on average.  So were not that far off.

[clgrissom3]

Block by d00d with 24TH!  It's his 2nd block at kano.is...way to go!

[nhando]

THANKS DOOD!!!  MORE MORE MORE!!! Just got enough electricity to power up my Macbook Air.  Need more.........  =)

Question - Usually how many block confirm + before we see it in the rewards tab?  It seems random, sometimes I see it on the rewards tab after 2, 3, 4 or 5+ confirmations.

5% to 7% of the network   would be nice.
I just did a nice little rental here  so this will help.

[nhando]

Wow Bitfury is 17% of the total network?  I wonder how their Mining in a container is going.  I've heard my electrician mentioned he's working on a few sites that are deploying something similar to this design but he doesn't know what kind of equipment or have any pictures of it.  He just say some Chinese guys deploying 3 to 4 of the container size and are using a ton of Electricity.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it shows up based on confirmations, I think it just takes time for the reward page to populate data.
