Block!!! ...... his machine #17 has done it again for Mr. 17....

Rentals firing blanks.... real iron coming in to supply the blocks....

Is this duck, rabbit or chicken ?

I smell a rat....

[Sierra8561]

And now all of those who made big analysis about this "bad" extra 11PH/s have to... fill their mouth with chicken

...and people's that can't properly read threads should fill it with something else. Those were regarding large rentals.

Touche

And 32 minutes later, Block by dance191 with his 9th Kano Block!

As for the CDF weekly competition ...

wmtomlinso has taken the lead this week with the best CDF before Sunday.
So he gets ~0.25BTC from my free from the first 2 blocks for Sunday that we've just got.
That'll go to your payout address in the next day or so.

Leading CDF details for this and the Avalon6 are here as usual:

Another Block by 17JVLWMAk with that 11PHs!

Edit: Watching The Shining on AMC for the hundredth time.

Here's Johnny! [evil smile]...priceless

Sorry about OT,

I first read the book on over-night CQ duty in the army. I finished it in one night. Man, it gave me chills!!

Edit: They did a pretty good job adapting the book to movie considering how difficult that can be.

I wish I saw the movie first then read the book.  I preferred the book over the movie.

I thought Jaws was a great book. But the movie was truly a great movie.

I never read Jaws, but I saw the movie in Myrtle Beach, SC at a theater when it first came out. I had second thoughts about swimming in the ocean after that!

Back OnT....
MORE BLOCKS!!

I have a small rental on WH and another small rental on Europe NH (pointed at the DE server).
I figured I would come at it from both sides of the Atlantic.
Both are holding steady at .0027 for now.

[citronick]

As a kid, I saw Jaws and I was terrified to even go to the swimming pool....

.....but when I saw "Fatal Attraction", I am not scared of the waters anymore !!!



Common blocks !!!

As soon as people point a lot of renters here, luck goes to mediocre.
it was just fine at 30-35PH and as soon as we get good luck, all those renters jump in and the result is a lot of nothing.

My point also, could be that the problem is actually Nicehash/ westhash when hash is pointed at Kano.
Worth investigating?

[kano]

I'm curious how people quantify both bad luck, and a lot of renters

As I have said before, and stated it will take some time, I am looking at a way of trying to verify if certain types of mining sources are detrimental to the pool's luck, but even I can't see that with all the information I have already, and if I do manage to quantify that data, it will take a proper analysis of a large amount of data to draw any conclusions ... ... ...

If anyone is seeing this already, I truly would like to see their data to save me the time of going to the quite sizeable effort

Re: random unknown rental issues ... or I could just complete what I'm doing
It wont take a month and I don't go randomly banning people for no reason at all ... so by the time that "first test month" is over and no change, I should have enough information to post publicly (as I said before) and decide.

Good - luck - rent: See the pattern? They all have 4 letters! And everyone knows that two's company and three's a crowd so one of them has to go! Clearly, if we want good luck, then rent has to go! Simple 

Thank you, Kano, for cranking the numbers - other pool ops may not even care. We appreciate it!

P.S. It's been raining for many days in a row here in Jersey and I noticed that I also wore boxers each day - I'm switching to briefs today! That will bring sunshine for sure!

... and 17JVLWMAk1GRtr52JGgc9oJ1Wxpn5ERz9Y is powering thru the blocks now ... 4th one in less than 1 day!

... and in case anyone was ever wondering about why mining here is good for bitcoin:

That block was 987991 bytes and just under 10 seconds after the previous network block.
Yeah we don't make up excuses for crappy software like MANY other pools that mine empty blocks.
We always mine blocks with transactions.

The Linode DE node just booted off almost every miner (due to network connection issues)
Almost everyone has reconnected and should be all OK again.
This time it was the connection from linode out to most users, since linode back to the main pool node was ok.

Edit: happened again ... looking into why it's still going on ...

'Apparently' a small DDoS on the linode DE servers that's not on the status page.
I guess they'll have DDoS protection one day
I do have another supplier that does EU that is providing the JP node.
I'll look into adding yet another DE node and maybe run both the new DK node and a new DE node ...

Spot On and we keep the hash power in the Western world fighting the Chinese. I love this pool vs. So many others.

You're doing great, Kano. 17JVLW must own a chicken farm.

Anyway...I'd love to be the fly on the wall going through your data pile on the "luck/rental" issue. Finding a pattern is a big thing in profiling (the "signature")...but I/we seldom had to deal with a volume of data that you're faced with. Heck of an example for my old grasshoppers (students) on the possible applications of grounded theory.  

Sky Pilot brought in a feral chick late last night from outside...alive...and began trying to mother it. Even the two cats were OK with it (we have a bit of a strange household here). I, however, had my reservations as mama chicken was parked at the front door waiting for her kid, and rather vocally, along with the other 7 siblings. Chick went back out...and 17JVLW goes nuts.

Gotta be a correlation there. Gotta be.  

Mine on. Best frakkin' job I ever had...

It looks like most of the new hash the past few days comes from 17JVLWM... and they sure are pulling their weight!
