Glad this didn't happen to our pool. Crazy https://themerkle.com/multiple-mining-pools-suffer-from-yiimp-hack/

That's altcoin nonsense.  Couldn't affect this pool, and with kano-san on the case, not much ever will!! 

Mine On! 

No for sure glad it is altcoin nonsense and not Kano's pool or any other bitcoin pool for that matter. Just crazy to think pool operaters didn't catch that when they put a pool up for users to mine on.

I was kind of thinking the same thing on the group buy but man that would sure be messy someone trying to handle all those orders and shipping them back out.

Ok my friend, just got done installing the board!  They look new and work just fine although I decided to clean the miner by compressed air and now one hashing board only has 48 chips working instead of 63.  I knew I should've cleaned it!  .  If you have the link that you could give me in order to send this board for repair in the U.S, I would really appreciate it!  But yeah the control boards work just fine, I even tried and installed 2 new boards on the miner just to make sure that it wasn't a faulty control board and that it really was the hashing board that messed up.

So you're good to go!  In the U.S you should get it super quick!  Good luck my friend!

And Mine On! 

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry about your hash board. I am assuming you mean the repair facility in Colorado? Bitmain Warranty? If so, their website is:https://bitmainwarranty.com/

I will proceed with my order from the link you gave me.

Good luck!!  

Thanks, you too!

I'm sure Phil will be along shortly to update you on the group buy situation with Canaan, its not pretty.

one what nodes are the blocks being found (or the most found blocks/node)? are there stats about that?

I have the logs, but ckpool doesn't report it to the db, so I don't keep track of it in KanoDB.
The latest ckpool also messes that up due to new problems with the node code
Everyone mines to a node since I rearranged things back in Feb, no one talks directly to the main server.
The nodes vary from about 100THs to about 30PHs but they do all find blocks

Lets hope they bring back single unit sales soon.
I hope everyone is staying high and dry as the weather disrupts our lives.

I totally agree with that statement. I was looking at purchasing my first to try and nothing, for a long time.

Thanks....appreciate that.....so the lights started flickering, and though I hated to pull the plug...thought I'd better lean on the side of caution.  Hopefully be able to spin back up in a few hours.....

Purchase something with Sine Wave tech and that will protect you from that kind of stuff. It takes the dirty power you get from the utilities and cleans it up and outputs it at a steady 120v / 240v as needed.

"In order to make a sine wave we have to use a Pulse-Width Modulated Inverter, which will increase the cost of the unit. A PWM Inverter will put out a sine wave with some distortion, but very little in comparison to the other type of modified sine waves. The benefits of Pure Sine Wave output are less stress on components, less noise, cleaner power and better long-term performance".

Many pool operators have completely no knowledge about code or coding.
I know there are many pools running NOMP by operators who couldn't change or fix anything if a problem was found.

Yeah I'm also very conservative about updating ckpool pool code, coz -ck doesn't always test his changes either ... that's one of the main 'actual' causes of the split ... and why he's lost multiple blocks on solo and his new pool.

My DB changes go through the wringer checking and testing but even then it's of course still not impossible for bugs to sneak through.
I also do proper testing of the block code in ckpool, the few times I've updated ckpool, to make sure it won't throw away our hard earned blocks.

But the cause of such problems as the yiimp one can be either untested code, or purposeful hacks, but again the real issue there is pool ops who think "woo I can make easy money doing this, where's a point and click free pool that I can run on my ipad ..." or similar

But Bitcoin is indeed still the wild west and probably always will be ... as it should be
Uncontrolled ...
There's of course those who are in it to the advantage of all involved as well as themselves, but it's also full of scammers and people who think they can make a quick buck off everyone else

Hey guys, new miner here!

I am enjoying being part of the community and contributing my measles 9 THS to the pool!
I would like to know what params should i change to try get more shares and get a better performance, i hardly get 0.0001 BTC/day
SHould i change minimum difficulty default value? what can i do?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

This is our 5th of MONSTER BLOCK MONDAY!

There's a lot of green on the Statistics page!

The wind and rain has gotten very intense here in the NC mountains. I've had to shut down the miners in the "Miner Room" because the rain is blowing in the air intakes sideways. Hopefully don't lose any trees near the house!

Still have ~18TH/s running in another part of the house. Hope to get all the miners back on-line before the night is over.  

Be safe!

There's nothing to do but keep your miner running

Your expected average BTC per day on 9THs is ~0.00243
http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.php
but of course you have the 'ramp up' on the first few days (read Help->Payouts on the web site)
Also remember, that's per day, not per block - there's been 5 rewards so far today

You can't make a miner mine 'better' other than changing it's physical performance (or adding more miners)
The share difficulty has no expected difference, all it affects is variance and of course the pool wont let you put it too low so that you're sending truck loads of low diff shares to the pool to reduce your variance, since at ~18 SPM it's perfectly ok

Under the Workers menu, the Shitfs, Shift Graph and Workers pages tell you how you are performing.

Damn...using the tiny phone screen, haven't noticed.

I know, I tried a couple of times with my phone while I was out of town and I just couldn't make it happen.  I'm glad to be back where I have my big computer with the cmd line cgminer running.

Such as the ones I use at home and work (for the phone/internet & network switches) from CyberPower 2200VA dual-conversion UPS

I found that using standby types the "10ms" changeover time they quote is rubbish. Maybe when lightly loaded but not at anything over 1/2 max rating.

Dual conversion means perfect AC power and zero transfer time. Take an eff hit but worth it.

And yes they also have 200-250v ones available starting at 3kw on up as I recall.

edit: Oh, I've seen them listed on Overstock.com and last I heard, Overstock still takes BTC for payment.
