To my public bitcoin address.  While I admit that current conditions are pushing fees upwards on "consolidated" transfers, I'd rather loose some bitcoin in the future than give all of it to someone else in the present. What hardware or software do you use to house your wallet? I'm guess you don't use an exchange public bitcoin address. I understand your distrust on Exchanges, Coinbase has been offline several times in the last few days particularly when the price was climbing. If you have enough space on your PC - or preferably an extra PC you don't regularly use - I would install Core and use that wallet. That way your BTC are under your control and YOU are responsible for the keys and their safe-keeping. That is what I do. I run a full BTC node and also use the wallet. One good thing about using the Core wallet is that you can get away with using smaller fees (at least in my experience). From what I understand when you send BTC using the Core wallet it will broadcast it to multiple other nodes and will keep broadcasting the transaction until it is picked up. I have never had a low-free transaction not picked within 12 hours. Of course you can adjust the fee slider to get faster transactions. But the point is you are not relying on an exchange to hold your coins. But BEWARE! YOU are responsible for the safe-keeping of your wallet. You must back it up to multiple secure locations so that with the private keys, you can recover your wallet in case of your PC burning up, crashing, natural disaster. My point is that you need to keep your wallet backup in a multiple secure locations. That way you can recreate your wallet. There are pro's and cons of using Core. But you can pick your poison. Yup...and (a la Dune)..."My poison is your poison"...or something like that.  You and I are rolling alike. When I send out rewards to my partner, I use really minimal tx fees...but, at least it seems, because I run the full node and Core, I've never had one not confirm in 12 hrs. It's usually only a couple of hours. Maybe just lucky... |
To infinity and beyond...on two 741s and one of only 3...nope, make that 4...full nodes in Hawaii...on <30A. (I have other gear on the Hoth ice planet)

On setting the worker difficulty manually, isn't it idea to have around 1 share every 3-5 seconds?
I am using a 4G Mobile Hotspot, and some how using a ton of bandwidth from mining, over 5GB in under a month.
Surely they aren't doing that much bandwidth usage?
I removed the manual super high difficulty setting I had, in hopes of only sending large shares, and did notice an increase in traffic.
So 13TH, what would you recommend on a metered 4G connection?

Well, we can't all have fiber, but if your internet connection has more issues and limitations than the guy who's ISP is "Hillbilly Wireless", then you have real issues.  |

Today was a relatively good day to consolidate payments.
I did around 100 sat/byte and it confirmed in 4-6 hours (blockchain dot info was furiously protesting my low fee, threatening to NEVER confirm, LOL. You can even risk 60-90 sat/byte right now, apparently, but I am content with 100.

A real ISP. And a fiber optic one Cheap electric and space, but, nothing is available. 4G is as good as it gets, and happy to at least have it as an option compared to dual dial up I was using... And 13TH is just for example, is there a way to transmit less packets and thus save bandwidth by forcing a very high difficulty? If so, what is good for 13TH? |

I've found they lag fees bigtime. I.E. when fees were going up they were suggesting way too low of fees and people were getting pissed. Now the reverse is happening. Good for miners though. |

234.00 blocks made
210.20 blocks expected
that is 1.113 to 1 or 111.3 so take kano's fee away and it is 110.32% pay out vs 100% sounds really good but wait there is more I have not included the btc in tx fees paid to us miner's since Jan. I believe it is over 150 btc
it was about 25 coins for Jan
it was about 37 coins for Feb
it was about 58 coins for Mar
it was about 80 coins for Apr that is 195 extra in coins for first four months

Something wrong with the front end?
I'm getting a lot of 0GH rates for my miners, or high error rate.
Elapsed time for them all says 1m20s
Just before that, it said 2m10s but then it reset.
All within about 2 minutes time.

No problems here. I do have a 0.266% invalid rate. Mostly stale with 1 reject |

There was 'urgent network' maintenance on the main backend server's backbone network.
This caused a full disconnect for the passthru (startum.kano.is) and a lot of the miners on the nodes also disconnected,
This occurred at 18:15 UTC for 6 minutes.
This was a failover, as expected, for those miners, but they've all failed back now.
The hash rate takes a while to catch back up (up to 5 minutes) since the miner failover code waits that long to switch back.
Hash rate is (now) almost back to normal.

That'll happen sometimes after a block change. How's it looking now...? Yeah every network block change, the Elapsed on the Workers page resets and starts counting the "Share Rate" again. That also helps people to clearly see what's happening when they connect new miners. |
