Wowzers...soon as that darn debit card gets here I'm headed for a new set of tires...

Lady Luck appears to have returned. I am not part of the Pool Yet, S9's are due within 30 days. Keep Mining Hard!!

Anyone have any AUC2 units for the Avalon 6? PM me I need to get these 12 6's I have mining. Thx

If there is an alternative to the AUC2 PM me as well. $$$$

You could ask if Minerwarez (official Canaan distributor) has some, even though they show sold out at the moment https://minerwarez.com/collections/used-equipment/products/auc2-adapter

[lakerunner22]

Yes I bought one from them and I also bought the 12 miner kit with 2 included. Can't find anymore though. Large group of newbies suckered into buying the A6 not knowing they needed this hard to find part. Trying to help my farm and them if there is an alternative. I have reached out to some engineer friends and we are trying to reverse engineer the AUC2. If anyone has already done this it would save me time and $$$.

Kano, have we got the payout for the 492961 yet?  Or we are still pending that one?  Thanks! 

[rifleman74]

I show that it is now confirmed.

Yes I got it just a little while ago, thanks! 

[lakerunner22]

Thanks, HagssFIN. I logged in and ordered 5. Now if they will reply, let me pay, and actually ship them this will be a success story.

An update on where I'm at with the share history checking I mentioned before:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg23543194#msg23543194

I've checked a sizeable amount of data from large miners, and all the blocks they report to have found in their own logging/miner stats, and all have indeed shown up correctly on the pool.

I've now written a fully independent share checker from scratch, not using (or even referring to) any code used in ckpool to do that at all, putting it in the KanoDB code, and will be running that on a backup server for all the shares in the past month to verify there's no lost blocks in the share data.
I don't expect to find any, but this luck has been bad enough that I need to check all the data in every way I can think of.
At this point it's to 100% verify that ckpool has indeed correctly processed the last month of shares that KanoDB has received.

Once I've got that running, I'll also add block submission to KanoDB, then I'll put it on the live server also - so in case it ever does find a block that ckpool missed, it will submit it anyway.
It will submit all blocks it finds, not just missing ones.

Turning on my conspiracy hat, there are more changes I'll be adding once I've started the month processing - which should be today some time.

I'll of course report anything I find in all this.

An update on this.
The share and block check/test of the full share log has been running on the backup server, and checking from block 482985 at the start up September.

It's so far it's up to checking the 8th of September, and has checked 16 blocks of data, with the same results as the pool code.
It should take about 6 more days to complete the test of 60 days of data.
It completely hashes from scratch, each share, and checks each share's calculated diff and makes sure it's the same, then also checks if it's a block.

It's part of the KanoDB code so I will put it on the live pool soon also.
But first I'm working on getting it to submit the blocks it identifies, so both the pool code and the KanoDB code submit blocks to their respective bitcoinds.
The block identification code I've written, uses the bit data from the work, thus does an exact check of the hash to identify if it's a block.
Here's the (not very useful to anyone ) small part of the new code that does that that I've written myself - not using anyone else's code at all.
Since I don't have a public git any more:

Code:

        // check it's a block directly using the hash and bits
        hex_to_bin_nonull(bin, sizeof(bin), wi->in_bits, BITSPOW<<1);
        bits = *bin; // BITSPOW is 1 byte

        hex_to_bin(bin, sizeof(bin), wi->in_bits + (BITSPOW<<1), BITSBASE<<1);
        base = 0;
        ptr = bin;
        for (byt = 0; byt < BITSBASE; byt++)
        {
                base <<= 8;
                base += (*(ptr++));
        }
        base &= BASEAND;

        zeros = 32 - bits;
        ptr = share_hash_bin + SHA256SIZBIN - 1;
        for (byt = 0; byt < zeros; byt++)
        {
                if (*(ptr--))
                        return;
        }

        hash = 0;
        for (byt = 0; byt < BITSBASE; byt++)
        {
                hash <<= 8;
                hash += (*(ptr--));
        }

        if (hash >= base)
                return;

        // It's a block!
        LOGWARNING("%s() BLOCK %"PRId32"/...0000%06x sdiff %.3f ndiff %.3f",
                        __func__, wi->height, hash, sdiff, wi->diff_target);

I'm today working on adding block submission at this point in the code, then add it to the database if it's not already there also, then I'll run it on the live pool,
then get back to working on the accounting code ...

Block!

Thank you once again Cobra for your dedication to the pool and to finding blocks! Wish I could fined one just to get on the wall

[rifleman74]

Block!

Bigly one too, just under 15.

[rifleman74]

Let's get one more before Monday morning!

[minergain.com]

whoot whoot, that puts us up near .000276  per BTC / Day / TH which matches what we did in August!!  Yeah!

[Newko]

Thank you CobraMining! Your block cracking ability has pulled us up from the abyss!
Much respect to you for not abandoning this wonderful pool.

Thank you, Master Kano (pronounced "Kah-no"), for all your hard work and for keeping us informed. While I do not pretend to understand the code you write, I enjoy seeing those snippets. Clean and elegant.
Much respect to you for everything you do and for your unbending integrity.

Thank you all my fellow miners who have hung in there. Mine on!

I endorse this post! MINE ON! Put blinders on if you have too! Never lose faith in Kanosan!

Hey, does anyone know where I can get an AUC3? Apparently, you have to purchase this separately along with the miner, power supply, and controller and I didn't order one with my order back on Oct 16'th and I do not see them listed on the MinerWarz website and Caanan is Out of Stock.
