5 consecutive blocks over 100%... Our luck will turn soon ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Only 102 for the last 9 and 103 for the last 25 non-stale (and that includes 3 over 300, one of which was over 415); where you think it's going to turn to?

If you have to ask "why?", you wouldn`t understand my answer. Always be on the look out, because you never know when you'll be stalked by hit-men that eat nothing but cream cheese....

I agree luck is not bad. I hope it stays cost to 100%

To hopefully something better than consecutive 5 blocks of 100%+. For example, I'd be happy if this block gets cracked while still under 1T, and the next one be as much under 100% as possible. I'm modest like that.

And now for the details of the March version of the AVALON6 GIVEAWAY ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) For the month of March we will track all blocks and keep a record of the Highest and Lowest CDF blocks found. So at the end of the month we'll have 2 blocks, one with the Highest CDF and one with the Lowest CDF (if there are 2 the same CDF, I'll check them to extra decimal places to work out which is in the lead) Of those 2 leaders, one will win the Avalon A6 and the runner up I'll give my pool fee from the first pool block of April .. it's a bit over 0.125 BTC, not a lot but better than nothing - enough to buy a very nice bottle of wine or spirits ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The winner of the two will be chosen by the first block mined on the bitcoin network (i.e. anywhere not just here on kano.is) with a UTC time in April. If the last digit of the block's hash is even, the the highest CDF will get the Avalon6 If the last digit of the block's hash is odd, then the lowest CDF will get the Avalon6 (and by 'last digit' I mean all the way to the end on the right) The pool log "Block hash changed ..." message will decide if a block close to 00:00:00 UTC is in March or April Now for one other point that will require clarification in advance: The process of passing the winning Avalon6 on to the next winner in the event that the first winner can't accept it: If the winner is the High CDF, then the ordering is High 1st, Low 1st, High 2nd, Low 2nd, etc If the winner is the Low CDF, then the ordering is Low 1st, High 1st, Low 2nd, High 2nd, etc March 1st 00:00 UTC is in a little over 25 hours ... miners get your engines ready ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Edit: all of the other non-conflicting rules (listed in the first post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.0 ) are still the same Edit2: I'll keep track of the blocks here so it's easy for anyone to see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg8895607#msg8895607 What is CDF? And where are the blocks for March that you're keeping track of? The link above doesn't seem to point to a post where you are noting found blocks for March, unless I'm missing something.

It ended long ago (last year) Note that you are referring to a post dated Feb 2016. The winners are listed in the first post. The blocks table on the web site has a CDF column. Cumulative Distribution Function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_functionThe CDF table I often post here gives the "Complementary cumulative distribution function (tail distribution)" i.e. the expected probability that a block will be longer than X% e.g. 0.39346934028737 50.000% 1 in 1.6 0.63212055882856 100.000% 1 in 2.7 0.77686983985157 150.000% 1 in 4.5 0.86466471676339 200.000% 1 in 7.4 0.95021293163214 300.000% 1 in 20.1 0.98168436111127 400.000% 1 in 54.6 0.99326205300091 500.000% 1 in 148.4 0.99752124782333 600.000% 1 in 403.4 0.99872735771441 666.666% 1 in 785.8 0.99908811803445 700.000% 1 in 1096.6 0.99966453737210 800.000% 1 in 2981.0 0.99987659019591 900.000% 1 in 8103.1

A side note, but relevant to S9, perhaps. Trace Mayer implies that Bitmain uses asic-boost in their miners and asic-boost might be affected by segwit, hence Bitmain's opposition to Segwit. https://youtu.be/PuW66xlUW9A?t=1764My question is: is it possible that asic-boost gone bad is responsible for some unusual stats for S9v1 on kano's?

Yes I've comment about the asic boost before. I posted in the S9 thread Bitmain documents showing they had it in their S9s Bitmain's code for that was what caused the initial S9s to not work on ckpool since they changed the stratum authentication to something that didn't work with the ckpool stratum implementation. You can tell it hasn't made any blocks due to the fact that the blocks created by asic boost would have a different block version number - which is the main complaint about it. ... and yes I implied that it was possible that was a cause of the terrible S9v1 block luck. By the way the CDF[Erl] for S9v1 is still above 0.99 (and going up again)

As far as the "hatred" part, I was referring to his repeated statement the we miners are "milking the community" due to taking fees.
