Well there's some minor confusion in that, that I don't quite follow his wording So I'll repeat stuff I've said before and explain it in more detail. I the past, I paid all the transaction fees from my mining. No one else had to pay for any txn fees. Firstly, I used to put 0.002 fee on each transaction - about $140 a month - no big deal. It seems that bitcoin wants about 0.02 fee or there abouts. That would be about $1400 a month ... so yeah too much in my opinion. Our job as a pool is to confirm transactions. Really it's now pointless using a 0.002 fee since it often doesn't get confirmed by any other pools for hours. Recently I had my miner off by mistake and when I got to doing the payout my miner total was less than 0.002 So I changed the payout processing to allow me to set a zero fee - i.e. don't take anything from my mining. I also sorted it out to guarantee that I could ensure the zero fee pool payout transaction would be in our block work. I've now set the payouts to always be zero fee. Side effect of it all is the payout will (almost always) only be confirmed by the next block we find after I send the payout. Current hash rate (30PH) expects on average 3.3 blocks a day, so payouts should be rare to take more than a day. Zero Fee! Congrats on the move.....and thank you very much. .....especially on the payout schedule too. Just curious....how much do you actually mine yourself? Kano is on the Pool Stats page with 3.62THs at the moment...

This is not good...I know there were some Kano miners hoping to add to their hash by using the $100 coupons that expire on the 11th...maybe they will have a new batch before the coupons expire! AntMiner S7 BATCH 16(S7-F1) with 4.73th/s is SOLD OUT. Please wait for updates and new Batch soon. All PAID orders will be shipped out soon.

Well for quite a while now I mine 18hrs a day, since in the middle of the day it costs me around 40c/kWhr so that'd never happen Currently it's only one Avalon6 (I can only really run 2 due to power limitations) so around 3.6THs 3/4 of the day. It was 2 of them since December but recently I fried half of one due to weird circumstances and it's now upstairs and too loud to run so it's off until I either swap in a quieter fan from something else or just leave it off. It's not very loud, but loud enough to not want it on during the night. You can of course see my hash rate on the list with everyone else Edit: as clgrissom3 said

I was going to make another purchase today. Potential Options: 1. New Batch Release - Used Models (old batches from Bitmain Farm) 2. New Model - Maybe Modified S7(going back to 2 fan) or New S8 (double or triple S7) or New S9

Good bye AntPoo, hello kano Welcome back. As others have previously stated, you are better off staying put on Kano CKPool rather than pool hopping. @ dilmurod What type of gear are you running? I was thinking about shutting down some old s3's for the summer months (higher electric rate)but after seeing you hit a block I am encouraged to reconsider that thought.

Best Regards d57heinz Please read the WHole article.. edit and please understand this.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonancelittle excerpt from it. "Programming languages provide so-called random processes that produce unpredictable results. However, computer randomness (often called pseudo randomness) is actually deterministic. The reason for this is that deterministic algorithms—the basis for all computation—produce deterministic outcomes. Whenever a programmer calls upon a computer language’s random function, that programmer is depending on the irrelevance of the data chosen to provide the sense of randomness. Given enough time and provided with the generating algorithm, programmers could accurately predict each new datum produced by computer pseudo randomness"

I only get free power because of my personal status and living in a subsidized complex. I couldn't afford it, either. Folks here w/PV can do it, however, as they're paying an average of .17-.20/kwh instead. I run my household (now) on 30A/120V and it's a challenge. I can run 2 S7s...now I have another S7 for backup, and six S3s I can't use at all now just for no power. I'll hang on to them for now.

Of course...won't do that. My overhead here is zero (other than a bit of noise and keeping the new kitten from climbing the equipment rack). I've the one S7 and six S3s (all with kickasspower psu's) in reserve; I just don't care much about having gear in someone else's keeping, no matter how good their rep. That's my PTSD, partly, and some of it is having spent some years in intl banking law enforcement...I don't trust hardly anyone. The partner who helped me get this far is very close to getting into it directly himself ('cuz I'll have him paid back by the halving...and he's been getting his learning curve by watching me). I likely will "pay forward" at least part of this gear to get him up to speed without having to deal with the "where to get it and will it work OK" thing. He's a bright guy, but only got exposed to btc this past Thanksgiving. He doesn't pay for power, either.

Well ... I make a post pointing out that the transactions should average less than a day to be confirmed ... and the first block after that takes almost a day. Anyway, that block confirmed the 3 outstanding payouts.

Dumb question, perhaps...but curious whether to try to bump the freq on my one Batch 12 S7 to maybe 725. The changes I made to the rack have both the units down by 10+C...and this one's running a consistent <=60C on all three boards. PSUs are 2KW split boxes (1KW ea) and up to it, I think. Any educated guesses on what would happen? Worth the effort/risk? This box is off warranty. EDIT: ...good point on Merkle. Haven't heard the term used in a while.

Sure eventually there is a freq that is too high and the gear has more hw's so the freq setting makes you lose money. so 700 = .0001 hw + temps are low bump to 706 = .0010 hw temps go from 55 to 58 bump to 712 = .0025 hw temps go from 58 to 61 bump to 718 = .0050 hw temps go from 61 to 64 bump to 725 = .0250 hw hemps go from 64 to 67 too high drop to 718 this is a typical result. your top end will be 712, 718, 725, 731,737 just move your freq 6 at a time

If you are not running in a control environment, then it will be hard to determine the reason due to multiple variables happening that are out of your control. I.E. It could be sunny, cloudy, misty, cool breeze, the humidity, etc. Then again, it could just be that you improve your miner's feng shui by increasing their air flow.

Watching it closely, though. It may be different when the ambient goes up. In my experience the determining factor in OC for antminers is HW and not temp. This has been true for me going back to S1. This assumes your PSU is more than up to whatever freq you set. It's normal to see temps rise with higher freq but I always hit an unacceptable HW rate before I hit an unacceptable temp.
