My best share is still sitting at 18 billion on one of my S9s. I let it know that won't cut it, and it better submit some higher shares!

I too am switching from stratum.kano.is to nya.kano.is   12-15 ms faster ping times. on NYA.
Might get a block because of this!

Where are the two physically located? Just wondering why its so much faster.

Stratum is West coast US, NYA is NewYork (East US) - the nya name is the sound a cat makes in Japanese vs meow

I did a tracert and found that it seems to be California.  I am actually closer to that than new York. I am in Southern Alberta.  Guess the fiber is faster to the east.

Seattle and Vancouver servers ( Other voip servers) i get 30 ms ping times.  Not sure why from there to California its that much slower.  Could be a data center specific issue.

Yup after seattle its slow, 30ms then to 52 to San francisco and San jose.

Glad I fixed it.

Well I do have a node in Seattle that no one mines to ...
I guess I could whitelist you if you have a single static IP you mine from ... hmm seems you do

I could use that one kano-san, I'm just a few hours south of Seattle.  I have a single static (and will up that to another one here in a few months)...the S7 that transfers from place to place can stick with stratum. 

Tell me more about this Seattle node.....I'm a couple hours away in Portland. Would this benefit me? Currently running one S7 until our wiring is complete, then it will be 6x s7's and 10 Avalon A6's for roughly 63.38 TH/s

Hey Kano,

I do currently use a single IP, however it is dynamic.  It vary rarely changes, like every two years.  I can either set up the new server as pool 0, and NYA as pool 1 as the backup incase my ip changes on me.  The other option I have is to make a VLAN for the miners and route the traffic out my static IP. ( this is different than the IP my miners are connecting from now)

Up to you, I know milliseconds matter, but as to how much for the bitcoin network, I have no knowledge how much it affects it.

I could ping it and see the differences, maybe PM me the IP address or host name if you want me to test it?

Thanks

I just got a call from our natural gas supplier wanting to do a "safety check" on our gas meter. I am guessing they are wondering why I am using so much less natural gas this season. Hopefully they will understand I am currently heating with HASHPOWER. LOL.

AHHAAHHA  THEY CANNOT actually by law do that.  They are disguising it as a safety check, but in reality it is to check for a grow op.  I would tell them to  -------->  O  I know you are doing nothing wrong, but then they know what value is in there, I just say, nope, the gas pipes are fine, no leaks, I am safe.


Just say you have a bunch of servers that create heat, that's why the gas usage went down.  I am sure the laws are the same or similar.   Here if a public utility person sees a grow op, they have to report it, on the flip side they are not allowed to enter a property to look for that, OR to mislead a person to let them into a property to look for something, like safety issue, and then find a grow op.  So the question arises -  HOW and WHY now did the safety check issue ever come up, since there was never one before.  If they had a history of doing real safety checks every 2 - 5 years, then maybe, but in this case I would give them the run around just because of my privacy.

We have some pretty amazing power rates, that's for sure. What is the Hillsboro site look like? Large operation?

Infomart.com   Linkedin's west coast operations are there.  It's a server farm but every time I've gone in there (haven't been in since beginning of November), I see a few more people bringing in miners to have them host and get out of the house.   They have a TON of room to expand both server-wise as well as miner-wise.

on these DDos attacks.

is there a way to scan for them on my computer?

No idea which virus it is, but DDoS attacks use computers with viruses that are well known viruses, not one off coded viruses for a specific purpose.
If the DDoS was a full on, take down a large part of the internet attack, then it may have been coded specifically by someone to do it, but firstly the attack is quite small - only thousands of computers, not 10's or 100's of thousands - and they've clearly just requested the services of someone with a lot of bots, not done it themselves.
i.e. if your virus scanner is up to date and scanning at least daily, then you wouldn't be part of it.
The actual side effect is minimal at best, but they seem to keep doing it a few times a day so I'm leaving the more restrictive settings enabled to catch the bots.

[kano]

Are we down? I am receiving the following error: Too many failures, come back later.
My login credentials are saved on my laptop so I cannot see how this could be a login failure notice.

That means you made too many mistakes trying to login.
You have to wait an inordinately long (unspecified) time to try again, or contact me via PM or IRC with your IP and account details to get it cleared faster.
Try again, since it seems it has been quite a while, and if you still can't get in now, use PM or IRC if you can't wait any longer.

Heh yeah, it was directed at you, maybe I should have used PM

I (normally) don't whitelist a server for home miners - only data centres - I don't even whitelist myself at home, though it wouldn't really make any difference for me on the rare occasions lately that I do mine

Firstly, 10ms difference is next to meaningless, since out of an average 600,000ms block that's pretty small.
50 to 100ms difference is worth trying to work around with a large number of miners, since we have had blocks that only a few hundred ms would make a difference, so on those rare occasions, an extra 100ms or more, faster, might matter, but 10ms really doesn't mean much.

I was more interested in the fact that you seem to be close to Seattle but get a better ping to NYA than to Stratum.
Stratum is in both LA and Silicon Valley.
The Seattle node is rather important in that it is around 1ms from the Fibre node there, so I wouldn't open it up, it will only ever be whitelisted.
Also, of course, you've been adding miners on and got yourself in the top 100, so while we are small, that counts a lot towards the pool hash rate
Email me from your pool account and we'll work it out

[kano]

...
Tell me more about this Seattle node.....I'm a couple hours away in Portland. Would this benefit me? Currently running one S7 until our wiring is complete, then it will be 6x s7's and 10 Avalon A6's for roughly 63.38 TH/s

Firstly, see the post above about ping times.
Once you've got your hash rate up and running, and if it is a noticeable ping difference, email me from your pool account and we'll see what we can do

Yes, I see that post now. Thank you, no worries, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out. I've a lot to learn and learning it fast so I expect to be in here more often.

Look at that hashrate climbing! Cmon block!

[Vertflyer]

Are hashrates being calculated right? I’m seeing the over all pool rate going up and my individual rate seems higher than what a single S9 should be doing.

I don’t really know though cause I recently started piping in 17 degree F air from a window into a sound proof cooler. Not sure if that can raise my S9 performance just by running colder. Or is something being calculated wrong on the pool?

Yes, that can help. What model S9 and what is your current hashrate on kano?

Hardware version 16.8.1.3

I was getting up to 15.9 earlier. I guess that is within the range of normal fluctuation? Also, is there some hashrate smoothing algorithm? I did restart the unit 5 hours ago, so it could just be fluctuating within a normal range?

[fjtropepe]

The fluctuations are +/- 5%. I have mostly 14s and they will sometimes say 15.2 - 15.3 and sometimes 12.8. They only stay at the extremes for a short time though and go back to their normal ranges. If you look at your shift graph under workers tab you will see your average. I watched a guy on youtube running S7s in oil and they were hashing very high and their power consumption was down tremendously. Again, the numbers jump around so don't get stuck on just seeing it and thinking it is always running at that hashrate. I would worry about getting jiggy and working on your dance moves.
