For those of you who host your miners, what's the consensus on Cryptoboreas in Labrador? Any issues with them connecting to Kano? Wanna make sure everything is legit and kosher before I send out my miners.

I have three machines there and hold CryptoBoreas in high regard. They've been responsive, and I've not had any connection issues that weren't shared by the entire pool...ie., none associated with them in particular. My machines have been there three months now, and I'm happy. I'll send more machines when I can. You can't beat the price.

Since July, Juvia and her minions are hosted at hydro-powered complex in a undisclosed location in Labrador.

The main guys - Alan and Akm have been very supportive of my special requests and deliver good service.

For large farms like Juvia's - she has her own network subnet, power distribution etc - which I have secure access half-way across the world...

They implemented a script that monitors hash levels, create reports, etc and can trigger reboots if needed.
Powercycles are also remotely controlled amongs other things.

I also have direct communications with them via Viber, Skype and mobile-phone.

Pool 1 and Pool 2 are pointed to kano main node and backup node respectively. Pool 3 to a PPS pool.

There are many good providers in US too, so you should compare thoroughly before deciding.

It's nice to see the BTC price poking its head above $606 for a change. If that SOB ever gets around $800 or so, I'll crank up my three S7's and find SOMEWHERE to plug them in!

In the mean time, nice to see four blocks today!!!!!! 

Let's hope we can do that on a semi-regular basis even with our lowered pool hash rate. As I mentioned earlier, the lower pool hash rate means a higher block percentage for us miners.
Mine on and let's get some Saturday BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

(Five will do!!! )

Sorry for this little bit of OT: Today is my last day of work & there is no way I'm gonna finish everything I wanted and I have a "table or view does not exist" oracle error coming from a really old app that I tried to migrate to a new server (and no source code - Ugh!) & I checked all the tables & views and they DO exist so it's making me crazy. Well, I'm just gonna have to leave that puzzle to the new guy...he's younger, smarter, & better looking than me (the punk - hahaha ) so he'll figure it out.

Best to you, friend. New job, or like some of us old(er) diamond dwarfs (miners), retired? 

Thank you very much! I'm in the older crowd...retired
Of course I ended up working 13 hours today because I just had to clean up some loose ends. Hasn't hit me yet that come Monday I won't have to jump on the treadmill. Four more years before I'll collect soc sec so I may look for a little part time work to give some fun money in the meantime. Peace

Congrats!! I start a new IT job on Monday. I've been playing with IT since the early 90's, so I'll probably be working in that area until I die. LOL
I've about 7 years till I can get my full soc sec. It won't be enough to live on, however. Sad but that's how it is.
Best wishes to you!

On a side-note, the temperature has really plunged where I live! It's 49 F outside now and supposed to be low 40's before day break. That makes my S9's happy and the chip temp is in the mid/upper 70's. (No rain for at least another 5-6 days!! )

Looking forward to when it gets below freezing outside and I will over-clock the S9's by about 25Mhz. That will help a little. I'll have to see how they react individually to an over-clock. I know one of them will do 14TH easily. (They are all 12.9 miners except one which is an 11.
Block time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on down!

Network in the SG node area has been playing up for the last couple of hours.
Third time just a few minutes ago.
Hopefully all miners there have backups set in them.
It's back to life - yet again.
Seems to have dropped off the planet for about a minute or so each time which means miners will disconnect and reconnect but not fail back for 5 minutes.
Connection from SG to the main pool has been ok however, so it must be a local SG network area problem.

this is seriously bad lately - I can only be positive now for short time more - and I am VERY patient man.........

Thanks brother! And best wishes to you on your new job! It's fun playing with computers 
And happy mining to you for the next several cool & non-rainy days! Let's crack some blocks!
One in the basket so far...go team!

There we go! Block #2 for a good start to October

I hope this isn't too far off topic as it does relate to our pool.

When I choose "Show Details for Invalids" on the Workers page, all of my invalids are the result of stale shares.
They indicate 1,2 or 3 invalids and one miner is showing 7 invalids. EDIT: The stales have increased since I first posted this.

Is there anything I can do on my end to decrease or eliminate these stale shares? My Internet has always been basically flawless. Is it a miner issue?
Thanks for any info or tips!

Happy to see two blocks so far on this 1st day of October! Let's add two or three more!!

I checked several pools (and not for a short time either)-this is THE best if you look at 1 year stats.
Luck can ebb and flow. All i am looking for is to get 99% long term, and I would be happy. 1 year is much more than 100%.
I have been on one other large pool for more than a year and you know what average was there?
92%
people talk about 94% over short time like it is a tragedy, which is what you should expect from time to time.

On Kano's cue, I checked ping times for all the nodes from here, and ended up with the main US node being the fastest for me. Someone suggested I go for the SG node, but seeing as how I'm in the middle of the Pacific, just because SG is (perhaps) physically closer than LV doesn't mean it's any faster. The signal actually has to go through two more loops to get there from here...or back. There are so many factors involved in latency...anyway...

Since I don't have a complete understanding of invalids or stales (just too lazy, I guess, to get into it since I haven't had a problem with it), I'm hesitant to comment further...dunno what I'm talking about...
