Quick question, is it normal for one of my miners to have a higher difficulty? It's not running much faster than the other.

Yes, they will not be the same. Here is a link to where Kano explained it:

the S9 hash give-away draw is done.

i will announce (and configure) as soon as i get Kano's feedback...



EDIT

...and the winner is BSGMiner!

now go get us that block!!

Oh, this is so awesome! I just randomly logged in after work and saw 2 workers!

Thank you so much! This is so cool!!!

Congrats, BsgMiner! Enjoy the extra hash 
Thanks luxMiner, for making it more fun to mine here!
Now let's crack this block!

[HawkmasterUK]

LuxMiner you are a STAR!!!
Well Done.

^^ What he said. Now I hope BSGMiner finds us a block with that extra hash.

also were do i ask for help about upgrading firmware on my s3 using kano firmware?
dont want to use this page if its not for firmware talk lol

Instructions are there:
https://bitbucket.org/TheKano/cgminer-binaries/src

I followed the instructions under the s3 section and putty cant find file on the server that i enter? I even copied and pasted to make sure there was no errors 🤯

putty doesn't find files, it allows you to login to your S3 and type commands

There's a list of 7 commands there to execute after you login to your S3, and you simply execute them one after the other.

If any command fails you most likely mistyped it.

Edit: or there some problem with your access to the kano.is web site

just to make sure im not doing anything wrong
do i have to download any of the s3 files?
i open putty enter ip of miner , connect, enter user and password
then
cd /
then
wget http://kano.is/AntS3/cgminer-ants3-4.9.2-94e04f6-3.tgz
after this i get error  wget: bad address 'kano.is'

im sorry im a total noob lol
my s3 is down and i cant mine with it at the moment
i can access kano.is just fine

That means your miner has no DNS - it can't translate kano.is to an IP address - yep something's wrong at your end!
Replace "kano.is" with the IP address (45.63.95.39) and thus do the DNS manually
Of course, none of this will stop your S3 working.

I just wanted to add how cool I think this is as well. I was thinking of doing something similar to some of these smaller miners, but I don't think I could part with a full S9 worth lol. I was thinking more along the lines of and S7, but this is cool. Thanks for helping the pool morale. It would be amazing if Canaan had another giveaway, but not to be expected.

MINE ON!! I had my dose of chicken for the day, so let's see how it goes.

How does one acquire merit to give? Is there a way other than receiving merit for posts yourself? Can you request Merit? I don't have to take my shirt off or anything, right?

[akadamson]

ok 22Th more is now online!

BLOCK ON!

[jeecom]

Do you think the reason it is taking longer for us to find blocks is because the number of bitcoin transactions are decreasing?

Take a look at this chart - https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions#

Or is this something that is unrelated, and just happens to be dropping at the same time?

There was a burst in number of daily transactions in January just around the time we had a burst in finding blocks.

Unrelated.

It's taking longer, because the network difficulty continues to increase every 13 ish days, but our hashrate has stayed constant for the last little while.

in fact, network difficulty is expect to go up 5% tonight overnight (US nite time)

I’m fully ramp up with my S9 now, and my percentage is about 0.03%, and I usually get awarded at 0.0035xxx per block found at Kano.
At normal pool, I get 0.00125 (after fee) minimum per day, so as a month (30 days) I get 0.00125x30=0.0375/month.
So if we found less than 10 blocks/month (depends on luck), I can’t get as much as normal pool.
Do I get it right here?

yup - thats more or less accurate from my understanding.  i was asking similar questions last month when i started mining on Kano, migrating my 4xS9 to this pool.

Its been a tough end of Jan & beginning of Feb ... but i'm hopeful for the future.

btw, theres no such thing as a "normal" pool ... just different hashing/share calc & payout methods.

I have 1 S9 at Kano from 14 Jan,  but with bad luck and depend on the pool hashrate, the income is not as much as I thought. I have monthly bills to pay, what should I do?

Unfortunately no one can really answer that but you. Because of the nature of this pool blocks will come less frequently but the payout will be greater. If you have bills to pay and need a fixed amount of bitcoin coming in then another pool might be the best but in the long run you will probably make less. Patience is definitely needed here but I can understand your dilemma.

In the meantime MINE ON!!!! and BTClock Dance!!!!

Can you define long term?

The plan is to put it all on 240 volt, to balance out the load across L1 and L2  I just haven't had time to finish it all.
I am tempted to move it back to where it came from to see if the one power supply works.  Interestignly enough, the plug I plugged it into has nothing else on it, and it is a plug right at the panel box, so it is significantly closer than the one in the garage.

Chances are it’s not your power as much as it’s the apw3++ psu. People have had problems with them running on 220v let alone 110v. The efficiency has a +/- range and I think it’s mostly minus. I would use 2 Hp server psu’s if I needed to run on 110v.

Funny I took it back into the garage, and put it back where it was, and still one board didn't work, i moved the control cables so that the original chain 5 from controller was the far right ( chain 7 hash board) Chain 6 was to the far left ( Original chain 5), and Chain 7 was the middle board.

Booted up with one PSU and worked.
