It would be nice to get another block before the diff change.

Mine on!

Got an estimated on the next change?

Does anyone have a list of hosting companies that have good rates and take new customers with small miner counts? I'd like to expand, but can't put more in here, plus I can't put more in and keep them cooled (in the summer when it gets HOT here).

Bitcoinwisdom has been a bit shaky on their math over the past 6 months.  I've lost a lot of faith in them.  I would love to see the -16.49% like they are showing but I'm not going to hold my breath.  A lot can happen in 11 days.

I agree, but the timing is probably in the ball park. -16% would be the dream!

That estimate is incorrect we are already at 2.23 T difficulty and looks like we are probably going to add another 15%. Looks like it should change in 17 hours or so. I used to trust the numbers at btc.com but not sure I do at this point, they have been having some issues lately.

Agreed. That is why I asked.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a good source for info that I did not have.

Finally, the replacement miner for poor, departed R4B4 has arrived in the ice mines at Hoth.  Took so long after multiple delays I hate to even think about it, but at least I've increased my hashrate by 50% so that's a plus. 
Mine on! 

Your still better off than this guy... https://gizmodo.com/man-says-he-spent-thousands-on-bitcoin-mining-rig-and-g-1822338827

Just checked the fans in my two S9´s and both exhaust fans are connected to the FAN5 connector. No problems at the moment with the fans ramping up and down.

I have one S9 and the fans do cycle up and down.   They seem to be on a 13 second interval, and depending chip temperature, it either ramp up, down or stays the same.

Mine are currently cycling between 3 speeds:

Low:  Fan3=3120, Fan6=4440
Medium:  Fan3=3360, Fan6=4800
High: Fan3=4560, Fan6=6240

Typically it spends 2 cycles (26 seconds) in low, 1 cycle (13 seconds) in medium, and 2 cycles in high (26 seconds).

I have also noticed when I decrease the intake air temperature it decreases the speeds of the Low/Medium/High, most likely because the chip temperature is lower.  Right now my intake air temperature is 24° Celsius, and the exhaust air temperature is 36° Celsius, and when the chip temperature exceeds 74° Celsius, it jumps to medium fan speed, and at or above 76° Celsius, it jumps to high fan speed.

As to what connector they are plugged in to, if I face the S9 from the air intake side (so the controller board is farthest away from me) then the power connector on the left (closest to the edge of the device) goes back to the air intake fan and the power connector on the right (closest to the middle of the board) goes to the air exhaust fan.

I'm hoping for 16% or less increase at this point by tonight's adjustment.  A lot of hashrate was pointed other places and/or shut down yesterday to stop the pace from reaching a 20%+ increase.  I was already hoping for it to slow down from this last 15% increase but a ton of power and machines have been pointing at BTC the whole time, since all coins have been down in price and there wasn't anywhere else to go this past 10-12 days for SHA-256.

all the S9's are going to just crumble and diff will halve

There's always a silver lining! Good job!

I have 3 S7s that are in varying stages of swan songs that I'm trying to replace.  My hosting site is full so I can only replace; can't add new until they have expanded their capacity.  One of these S7s will be replaced in early February and I can't wait.  I can't seem to buy anything anymore so I don't know if I'll ever be able to replace the other 2.

That's my issue. I've got three S7s with them, all of which are still running OK, but I'd like to replace them with A8s...after I sell my second truck to pay for them. It's ludicrous.

Quick question for miners on Kano.is ...

I pointed 1 of my new S9s to Kano ..to try out this pool.  I get that it takes 5 days to ramp ... but for some reason, i only got 1 reward so far (on my 2nd day only), at 0.00100987 btc.  day 3, 4 and 5 I had zero reward/payout.

Can someone elaborate why this is the case?  I thought it would ramp consistently, and get sequentially more each day over the 1st 5 days.

At the current rate, if this persists, i'm not gonna point my other S9s ... cos im getting pretty consistent 0.0018 on slushpool and 0.002 on antpool per S9.

Any help would be much appreciated!

It takes 15ish days to ramp, check the help/payouts section or read the last 30 pages, its all covered. It's been 63hrs since our last block, does that coincide with you not getting paid?

[paulopaag]

It takes about 15 days to ramp up. You'll only get paid when we find a block.

I should start a website and guarantee miners payouts per day. Then take the hash power and point it here and bank on the difference.

I just joined the pool, but I think that is the problem that will keep it from growing. People seem to think that because they get paid more, they are making more money. Also, the 15 day ramp up as well. Too many don't do their research and want instant gratification.
