... the 'time' for the 5Nd is quite varying

When the variance varies, the mean is meaningless.

why would you take hashrate offline? That seems counter-intuitive, unless you're pinching electrical pennies...

Property owner is doing renovations where my "large" rigs are running. Literally had to take the equipment down.    Worse yet, I can't set it back up until Monday - road trip this weekend.

Oh, I get it. Out of your control.

Well the amount you 'ramp' down (i.e. how long they are off) should approximate to the amount to 'ramp' back up again - assuming the pool hash rate is about the same

According to this, my s9 is fully ramped up right?  

I find the reward small for such time... used to make 0.0021xxx BTC on slush daily before I left for kano 16 days ago

Or i may be completely wrong?


I hope we crack like 10 in a row in the next days

Yup. I"m insinuating that Fickle Finger Luck wants to make it look like my hashes are jinxed. lol

My (very crude) math says that it'll take me about 84 hours to recover after 72 hours down.   I take some liberties when calculating decay rates.

I have  Antminer S9 which port must i use ?

I have  Antminer S9 which port must i use ?
 

stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 should work fine.  You may want to ping all the connections to see which one is the fastest for you.

If you are not sure how to ping, log into one of your machines, click on the Network tab and then click on the Diagnostics tab.  Ping each of the Kano links below and note the average speed it takes and use the fastest as your main link.  It's also a good idea to use main stratum link as one of your backups just in case the node you choose to use goes down for some reason.

stratum.kano.is
de.kano.is
sg.kano.is
jp.kano.is
nl.kano.is
nya.kano.is

The format to use any of these is:

stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333

The default is to use 3333, but you can use any of 80, 81, 443 and 8080 also.
The extra ports are there to help navigate firewall problems.
The most useful ones being 80 and 443, since web access can be the only thing open sometimes in a firewal, and 80 + 443 are for web sites.

What is this pool: stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181

[VRobb]

From kano.is front page:
If you have an Asicminer Tube, you will need to mine to:
stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181
It won't work properly on any other mining port. Don't point normal miners here.
Your Tube miner stats will show up in your account without their worker name.

[kano]

...
What is this pool: stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181

That is for what's called an "Asicminer Tube"
Something that one company came out with that didn't do stratum properly, so it adjusts the enonces to match what the miner needs.
As it says there, "Don't point normal miners here."

I hope we crack like 10 in a row in the next days 

how many blocks were in that day at BTC?  You can't look at payout vs. payout, you have to look at block payout vs block payout.  And take the ugly with the good.

e.g. I just looked at all my slush blocks and at the same hashrate, I was easily 20% better here, and that was only at 89% ramp.

assuming over time, we'll average too 100% difficulty, to compare a single block at 500%, vs multiple blocks in a payout just isn't fair.

You actually have to look at time period, and not block to block. If kanos pool finds one block a month, and pool-x finds 100, which is more porfitable over the time period is all that matters. Huge variance is a tough pill to swallow when you're only cracking ~5 a month

Finally a block. Absolutely pathetic reward 0.0002BTC per day for an S9 running 24/7 I do hope we find another block sooner than this one or I will have to bail. Every day counts now as difficulty keeps ramping and more and more miners crowd the field and none of us can afford to run miners at a loss like this for very long.

I think every other bandwagoner that paid 5-6k on ebay for a single miner feels the same way. 

My equipment is paid for and nothing but profit. Obviously a steep decline in profit but with the difficulty shooting through the roof and bitcoin hitting 19k, what did anyone expect? These guys buying 1 miner for 3 times the cost and then paying 12-15 per kw will be bled out very shortly. Not saying that is your case, just general terms.

How many blocks have you found for the pool or any pool out of curiosity?

[robroyman]

I've found around 100 blocks on other pools (alt coins and maybe BTC, although doubtful). I've had 2 S9's and 1 L3+ running 24/7 since early Jan. Was on Nicehash and now on Kano (S9), Slushpool (S9) and Prohashing (L3+). I have another 2 S9 on the way due next week..

Got all of them direct from Bitmain so ROI will be shorter but nevertheless more expensive than earlier in 2017 and with the mad difficulty going to take at least 3-4 months (maybe longer)

It is not an understatement though that every day counts. We will soon be relying on mad amounts of luck to make any kind of profit. Kano is tiny compared to other pools that find several blocks a day. It's a fine balance.

Thanks to both of you for your input. That small payout we got covers electricity and small profit... but it sucks lol.... hope we will get a better next week... or will have to sadly change.
