And it seems to me that everything is much simpler, the stratum is incorrectly spelled out

I've had that, or an extra "." in there somewhere from a bad cut and paste.   It does happen!

I have this all the time, when automatically chrome browser translates the page, you forget and copy the stratum already with a space in the line

Yep, a space at the end does kill you!

As far as I know, recent S9 firmware has some kind of auto-detection of the "optimal" working frequency for the hash boards. During the autodetect procedure it may restart itself a few times, based on its own criteria... I guess that's why it takes so long to start actual mining.

When I had my S9, I even thought it's faulty when I started it for the first time... Yes, the S7 is much, much faster to start mining.

Sigh...
It is not 'recent'. Autotune started with batch-16 of the s9's over a year ago. It is used because at 16nm and lower the performance variability of each chip became to great to use fixed frequency and Vcore. Even some older miners using 28/22nm chips used it for the same reasons. Either way it is a cheap bandage for the problem letting miner makers to mix and match boards with different performance to produce a miner with xxTHs.

"Autotune" - right, that's what it's called!

I think some (most?) BitFury-based machines have a similar feature. And it was positioned as an advantage allowing to optimize performance "automagically". Or that's how I read it some time ago... I never had to deal with these machines though.

Perhaps, it helps to keep the costs down (no need to have a precise performance-match phase), so we'll have to live with that...

[Vlada69]

Have you checked that there are for example no extra spaces by accident in the pool settings?

yeap typed myself

For some reason wasn't able to connect bitmain s9 to kano.is. Are there any restrictions?

If you can't connect on port 3333 try port 80, 81, 443 or 8080 as alternatives.

Perhaps post your configuration here so we can hopefully spot the problem

well tried 80, 443 too, also german link and the one for asic tube but nothing and network to kano.is but miner s9 just stopped giving information.

You'll need to PM me your IP address so I can see if it's blocked for any reason.
There's certain subnets and IPs that are blocked from all the pool servers coz people on those IPs did bad things

The web site bans don't affect mining.
But certain account settings I can apply stop you from mining, so also include your account name so I can check that.
Though you'll know if that's a problem if you can't login to your account or when you login it says you must fix your email.

ok thank you.

Well assuming your account is the same as the name you use here, there's nothing wrong with your IP address you used to create the account.
The IP you PM'd me is your local home net IP, so not the one I wanted

If you are mining from a different IP to the one you used to create the account, you'll have to send me that IP

You signed up and verified the account so the IP isn't banned in any way - the 'global' IP bans I create stop access to all servers including the web server.
The account of course starts with a capital V so make sure you typed it in with a capital V also - though I don't see any attempts with a lower case v.

Considering how I'm not actually seeing anything at all in the pool logs, I'd guess your home firewall or your ISP is blocking it somehow, or it's failing to do the DNS lookup for stratum.kano.is or de.kano.is

Lastly, if you didn't buy it new from Bitmain, reflash it to make sure the previous owner hasn't hacked it to mining to their account and ignoring the displayed settings.

OOOOWEEE we're getting some hash power now.

Some of it seems to be failover from another certain pool that someone has posted as being dead ...

[perfectplus174]

Oh well, maybe it'll find a block while it's here.

Did anybody else just notice a weird anomaly with the numbers showing on the Worker page versus what cgminer was showing?

Then, the website started loading slow and came up with the database time out or reloading error.

I did for about a minute (at 22:43 UTC)
But it's back to normal again.

Maybe I'm just paranoid about the numbers I've been seeing lately. My Avalon6 rarely runs in the low 3THs--let alone 2THs--without something needing immediate attention.

Everything seems good now. Thanks for appeasing my paranoia...

There's was some simple DDoSing going on about an hour before that, but small enough to not make any difference.
My guess it was some disconnect related to that happened at 22:43 since there were a lot of messages on the pool console about connections at the same time even though the hash rate didn't actually change at all.

So I have ~ 200th now, and 600th next month to throw at a pool. This one came highly recommended along with slush and nicehash (selling power not the pool) what are peoples thoughts on this pool vs those other 2. Also, can somebody explain the ramping up and payout method? I've read it a few times, and then googled, and I'm still confused.

ill join you in the confusion but im not leaving this pool ever
this is my last block reward

So, when you say DDoSing, you're not thinking a hacker has turned some compromised miners into a botnet, do you?

I'm starting to wondering if that's why my hashrate was showing lower than usual... I really need to figure out how to fix this read-only mode that my Raspberry Pi gets stuck in so I can change the password away from the default.

Any good links for syntax to ssh, umount, fsck, mount, etc.? It's been too long for me to still be familiar with Linux.

Come on, padrinogtr! I haven't given up on you taking a shot at explaining how it works.

Why don't you relate it to something you're familiar with like racing? You could do something like "one guy starts 4/5 down the drag strip, but doesn't take off until the other guy is up to speed and blowing past him!" That'd be hilarious.

By the way, I'd love to see payouts like that! Wow...

HELLO WORLD!
Here goes my first pool post ever 
I`m Zet,from Europe,young,broke and shooting for the moon,guys:D
I`m new to this BTC business,started mining about a month and a bit ago,with some old racoons from Bitmain,making it up to a whopping FIVE TH`s 
From what i can piece together for myself, we`re all walking silently in the footsteps of our leader,Kano-san!
Love the pool,love the work,love the miners and the discussions,the giveaways (bow down to that),great place to be and i`m very grateful,proabily would never have read so many interesting things anywhere else,where everybody`s tryin to scam us and our rewards,
KEEP MINING ON WITH KANO-SAN!

Now for the really dumb part and a little bit of whining,hopefully the Sensei won`t treat my 5 THs as rentals or anything,they`re mine but lately (a few days),on and off and on and off,stupid construction work at my block (home mining) and its BAD,electricity keeps crashing
*Amazing hashrate in the last week or so,blocks piling up,COME ON WITH THAT BLOCKPARTY!*
