Ok I’ve read the payout section on the pools website and I know ramp up has been talked about here these last few pages. I’m still having trouble understanding. How do I know when I’m fully ramped up? Is it after 15 days or is there a percentage or something I can look at under my worker? Also if I’m fully ramped up and I add more workers to increase my hash rate. Will they all be ramped up or does each worker I add need to ramp up on there own?

Each worker ramps individually.

Also check the red line in the Shift graph which I believe reflects a close but not exact representation of your ramp.

Also on every block solve your reward will show the ramp level at the time of the block.

My red line is flat.   It says .72av at the end.

How long have you been running here and what is your hashrate?

Only started Jan 20th and my hashrate is 7.5Th/s right now.

Guys, I have a 13.5 Th/s S9. But since I changed settings to sg.kano and shut the window of the balcony a little bit it's now always over 14 Th/s. Temps are 67, 60, 60 and GH/s avg is 14,008.

Is my miner doing too much and killing its longevity or it's completely normal..? I used to keep the balcony window wide open and temps were like 60, 50, 50 or something like that and it always hashed around 13.5 Th/s. Kano.is website is registering my miner's hash rate at around 14 to 15k.

Thanks guys.

Nothing to worry about.. you're fine.

Sounds like a good problem to me. I have one S9 that always runs hotter than the others. It never gets below 70C but seems plenty happy. It has a Nidec fan, the rest have Y.L. fans. I think I may change out the fans before summer and see if it helps.

Mine on!

I am looking to keep a couple spare fans on hand - just in case.  But Bitmain wants 15 USD per fan, and 20 USD to ship 1, or 30 USD to ship 2.  Yet I asked them if they could put in the two fans if i ordered them into my order of the A3 that I just bought...  and no response.  Then they shipped out the A3 without a PSU.. at least I have my spare PSU so I can at least use the thing.

I just noticed tonight that on all of my other unit the fan where the air comes out runs faster than the one where the air goes in. The one that runs warmer is just the opposite, the exit fan is running slower. I do believe that is the issue.

I have 3, one of them had the issue of intake fan higher than exhaust. I noticed that where the fan power supply plugs into the board was switch on the one. Powered down, swapped the supply plugs and fixed the issue. Also the many different fan brands have different power ratings so different speeds as well.

Thanks for the info. I will check that, could be a quick fix!

Yeah the red line is the full graph (currently about the last 24 days) not the 5Nd.

The last 5Nd reward is highlighted on the graph with a light red background, each time we find a block.

If you look at your last reward on the Rewards page, you can tell how far into the 5Nd you were - it will show a calculated hash rate for the full 5Nd.
So e.g. if you were mining 20THs and the reward shows 10THs then you were 50% into the 5Nd when we found that block.

Time to consolidate...21sat/byte confirmed in about 2hr.
Wow. Sorry about those high fee blocks, fellas.
Not sure if it would last, though.

  I lost power to my router yesterday and I was on site so I didn't know until this morning 

Now I have to ramp up again   

What do you guys use to get notifications on your miners?

The amount you ramped down = the amount you'll have to ramp back up.

i.e. if you were off for 18hrs then (of course) you've only lost 18 hours of mining, so you'll have to ramp back up 18hrs to get back to where you were.
Also note that they are only the same if the pool hash rate is the same - if the hash rate increases then the ramp is shorter (and vice versa)

The ramp is a number of shares, not an amount of time, and that number is 5Nd
So the time of the ramp is dependent upon the pool hash rate.

... and something I said in IRC yesterday

... and in case that statement about the ramp getting shorter sounds confusing, don't worry it works out as expected since as the hash rate grows we 'expect' to find more blocks so it all is expected to work out the same
the 5Nd is 'expected' to be 5 blocks - of course luck has a different opinion on that - but that's what's statistically expected

Thanks for the replies

I use awesome miner because I have a small set up. The amount of notifications you can set and rules you can establish are amazing to me. Overheat protection at a custom temp, warnings at certain temps, reboot commands when certain criteria are met, etc. The list goes on and on. I love it.

https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#costs-and-warnings

So I have decided to run a full node to help out the network.
I have about 4 more hours before it is updated (100Mb/s Down 10 Up unlimited).
I have 32GB Ram 2TB HDD 16 Core 3.2GHZ processor Windows 10.
I made the cache 4650MB and set the number of threads at 16.

So,  my questions to the group are:

Are you running a full node?
If so what settings should I use?
If not why?
Any additional considerations?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Mine on!!

[Tnaa97]

How about https://www.blokforge.com/?mc_cid=414a26c6ce&mc_eid=48036e5133
They are doing presaled right now.

U$3,599.00 and olny 11TH/s? With all that talk about difficulty increase, will it ever be profitable?

Mine on!!

I run 2 wallets (mine and the pool - 2 instances) in a single 32GB VM at home set to 8 vCPU (that's effectively 4 core).
That performs fine.
The server the VM runs in is 512GB RAM with 2 Xeon Gold 6148 = 40 cores/80 threads so plenty to spare - that's the pool development server I run at home.
The server and the VMs usually have no internet access (I just open up www temporarily every so often to do linux updates)

The HDD type will decide the performance, but performance doesn't matter too much unless you're running a pool, so standard (cheap) HDD is OK.

Of course, if instead you were running your wallet in it, then you should use RAID1 on the disks that have the wallet and make sure you back it up often, automatically.
However, I'd never suggest to anyone to run a wallet on a windows computer - just way too risky.

I run about 7 full nodes and 13 pruned nodes, of course most of that is the pool

Duly noted. I wasn't planning on using the wallet, just let core run to help the network.

I have a couple spare DL585s with 4x12 core processors, 256GB RAM and 8 SAS RAID each just sitting in the basement powered off. Might put Ubuntu on one of them and start a node there. My only spare computers.

"I run about 7 full nodes and 13 pruned nodes" What's the difference Full vs Pruned? is it in the settings somewhere?

Come to think of it, I wonder how many little VMs with a full node each I could run on those DL585s?
Would that help the BTC network?

Ok I’ve read the payout section on the pools website and I know ramp up has been talked about here these last few pages. I’m still having trouble understanding. How do I know when I’m fully ramped up? Is it after 15 days or is there a percentage or something I can look at under my worker? Also if I’m fully ramped up and I add more workers to increase my hash rate. Will they all be ramped up or does each worker I add need to ramp up on there own?

When we hit a block, the pool looks back at the last 5*network difficulty (to 10 trillion) shares. We call this ramp up, because if you're new to the pool, the percentage of those last shares that are yours is lower than the percentage of shares that are yours in say the last 1,000,000 shares.

So its the amount of shares your workers put out, relative to the total hash rate of the pool, for the last 5ND  (5 times the network difficulty) shares.

The more hash rate you have, the faster the ramp up time, because you have more shares.
