Nice to see Cobra slowly ramping up their hash rate as well...it's slowly coming back folks! 

MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

[Waztim]

YES YES YES MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!!!

I can't believe I keep doubting this pool. I am a total idiot. I'm still new to this and have slowly gone from 1 S9 to 3 over the last couple of months. Being new I am just in such a hurry to feel like I'm doing the right thing and making the most money back that I can for what I've put into it. In doing so I'm making bad decisions so I can see something each day rather than potentially waiting days or weeks for a payout. This is just not the best way...

Kano

Here are my Kano payouts that I'm still getting even though I've been off the pool for some time now. Columns... Your N Avg, Your BTC, and what that reward would be if I was 40.5 Th/s for 3 miners.

2.64   0.00127068      0.01949339
2.63   0.00149492      0.02302063
2.63   0.00158584      0.02442073
3.05   0.00179686      0.02385994
2.97   0.00179906      0.02453264
2.95   0.00172792      0.02372229

That's a total of 0.13904962 BTC if I were fully ramped. This is 0.05095098 BTC more than what I've earned on Slush in the last 14 days with only 6 blocks found on Kano.

SlushPool

On average I am getting 0.00629276 BTC per day on SlushPool which over the past 14 days would be 0.08809864 BTC and they find between 12-20 blocks per day. Believe me when I say I keep extreme records of my mining activity. Below is a breakdown of SlushPool taking the total payout so far (since mining with 3-S9s) and the total seconds to achieve that then used to come up with the minute, hour, week, etc. numbers.

Per Minute - 0.00000437
Per Hour - 0.00026220
Per Day - 0.00629276
Per Week - 0.04404935
Per Month - 0.19088051
Per Year - 2.29056607

Block Value (AVG) - 16.58 BTC
My Hash (AVG) - 40.70 Th/s
Pool Hash (AVG) - 1.82 Eh/s
Block Time (AVG) - 1.39 Hours
Blocks Found - 149    
My Average Block Reward - 0.00036360 BTC

Summary for all doubters of Kano or people like me who keep wavering...

I left thinking I was doing the right thing getting consistent payouts and it would even itself out. Yes, maybe I could make more on Kano at the end of the month but Slush would be close enough I wouldn't mind getting a little less for consistency... I looked back at the big months on Kano and thought... wow there were some really big months but they had a lot more hashing power on those months. I thought to myself they only found 10 blocks in December and the hashing is down considerably from mid of last year. I thought, I thought, I thought too much...

Apologies for the length but I know there are others out there like me making bad decisions and, for me, I need real numbers to back up claims and believe in them. DO NOT DOUBT, MINE WITH KANO!!!

I'm switching back today with my 3-S9s (soon to be 4). The ramp is extremely painful but worth the rewards once you get there. This is a great thread, has tons of positive people actively participating (including Kano), and it's well worth the time invested.

If only everyone were half as analytical. Welcome back.

I'm a developer and SQL Admin... Kind of hard to get away from that mindset.

I should show my Raspberry pi project that I'm working on.  Its running sql, and cacti.  Graphing inlet and outlet temps of each miner, outside air and exhausted air humidity, outside air temps.  the building air temps to see if air should be diverted into the building or exhausted out.  Probably will get the Pi to control external fans as well and moniter the air temps and increase or slow them down as needed.   Ambitious project for a guy who knows nothing about scripting or programming.  BUT  I do know how to google, and cut and paste code.  haha   Its working pretty good, I have got a long way so far, more than i thought i would.

ALL data stuck in the little Raspberry pi on sql server.   That little bugger is pretty powerfull.

Hey guys can anyone please tell me what is the HS code for the Bitmain APW++ power supply for me to be able to import into USA?  I want to buy 26 units but I don’t know the HS code. 

Thanks!

Anyone?

OK, I found a DHL Brokerage form,  Listed as Power Supplies Other  Classification 8504.40.90.93     UM: NMB      VFD Code: 13     Rate of customs Duty 0.0%    Value for duty  134.95
 Mine was listed under LVS Casual under Business number, But I only had one on this order. 

Other info may be useful:
Country of origin CN   Place of export HK

Thanks for your help!  I’ll stick that number in if the Bitmain doesn’t answer me tonight.

If you have not got the answer, this has details on miners in general.  Not sure about power supplies.

Here was another article talking about magna power supplies that should get you close.

Harmonized (HTS) Code / Customs Tariff Code
    MagnaDC: 8504.40.9540, Power Supplies (rectifiers and rectifying apparatus) of a rated power output exceeding 500 watts
    MagnaLOAD: 8533.40.80, Other, Electrical resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), other than heating resistors; partsthereof
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)
    EAR99, Under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce and not listed on the Commerce Control List

When I have imported, I google Harmony code and a often description of what it does.  Saved myself a couple thousand that way one time with our pc-2-tv.net devices.

Nice!  Thanks a lot! For your help!

Any news on bringing SG node back kano? It was really having half the latency for my region than all other current servers. Going to switch back to Kano soon...

[2FLY4WIFI]

Wow 4 blocks these last 2 days, very kool!!

Thx Kano for running a great pool!

After 3 days of problems and they didn't supply any reason, I don't think I'll bring that one back online.
Since then, it has completely lost connection once again - I've left it running without the mining node running.

An extra 50-100ms doesn't really mean much in the big picture of 600,000ms average per block

Thanks for your quick response as always. Appreciate that!

Just added 142 TH...have another S9 to bring online when the replacement power supply arrives this week!

Awesome
Lets get this variance down!
Been talking to some big miners who 'might' come on soon.

Hey everyone, let me start off by saying I am very much a noob to all of this!  I've been reading as much as I can and am starting to feel like i've got a handle on the basics of how Kano pool works and pays, etc (or at least I thought I did).

I've got a question for you guys, and the simple answer might be I just need to wait, but I just want to make sure there isn't a problem going on that I need to get in front of.

I joined the pool on 1/10 and have been part of the past four blocks that have been found.  When the first block, #503962, was found, my data appeared on the reward page.  Once the block matured, the payment appeared on the payment page and my coinbase wallet was almost immediately credited with the reward.  However, there have been three additional blocks found since, two of which have matured.  My payment page on Kano shows that four payments have been made, however coinbase still only shows the initial payment.

Is this normal?  Do I just need to wait longer for the payments to make their way through the system?

As I stated above, I'm not trying to be impatient, I'm just worried that something might be wrong since the first one went through so quickly.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

None of the other blocks had matured, when we find the next block at least the first two will show up (and hopefully the third as it still has 22 confirms left).  That's how Bitcoin works, doesn't matter if it's at this pool, another pool, or solo.

Ahhh, OK thank you!  I hadn't realized that the other two hadn't matured before the most recent block was found.  The pool's incredible luck this weekend gave me a weird situation for my first payouts!  I appreciate the quick response, thanks.

Using normal luck, the next block we find will have three payments in it.  It is nice though to have been involved, can't complain as that pays a month of hosting!

Not that it is any of my business but I am just curious...

Do you guys leave all your mining rewards in your wallet, do you take out your operating expenses, do you take out all your mined rewards in profits?

I have been just leaving all my mined rewards in my wallet over the past few months. Was wondering what others do as there are so many posts about people needing to have "daily" rewards paid out.

Though I've never met any, there are people who mine bitcoin who have a guy standing behind them with a gun awaiting the payments for their electrical bill every hour
Though it costs them quite a lot in transaction fees
