We passed 50% on shares. Time for block!

Can someone explain me the relationship between them?
How can I calculate the time of 5Nd based on the pool rate?
Thank you.

can you tell me how the pool stats work? Shares? Or where i can find a good read? Luck is hmmm... not black but grey, but the rest i dont get.

Yesterdays block was around 50% shares of the Kanopool. The other stuff just read the thread.

Yeah ... it does take a while ...

Shares - stuff your miner calculates

100% = estimated number of shares until block solution is found (equal to the network difficulty)

Hash rate = rate at which shares are found ... 5Nd = 5 days 20 hours meaning "100%" or expected block solution found in 1 day 4 hours on average

Does Canaan take BTC? I see their site says "We will give you wiring instructions and a final invoice."

If you are ordering 60 or more ( a pallet) you can order direct from Canaan. They will only take a USD wire transfer. They stopped accepting crypto when they began the process of going public.

Their distributors still accept crypto though, blokforge or cryptouniverse are the go to distributors now. Minerwarez is still official but there were some problems with their last orders for 741s; so I  don't recommend them at the same level as the other 2

The 5Nd is a number of shares, not a length of time.

You can convert it to a time if the pool hash rate never changed, but of course the pool hash rate changes all the time.
That time is how long 5Nd would take at that pool hash rate and if the hash rate didn't change.

A pool hash rate is (usually) measured in PH/s so lets say the pool is P PH/s
So if 5Nd is X (as shown on the web site it is currently 17,555,302,764,498.5)
Then at a fixed P PH/s a 5Nd of X will take:
(X * 2^32) / (P * 10^15)
or in that case (17,555,302,764,498.5 * 2^32) / (149.49 * 10^15) = 504,378 seconds = 5.83 days

I have a post about how you can estimate how much of the 5Nd you've been submitting shares ...

.... Sure reads like bank wire only to me. Ya know, no mention of other payment methods...
I assume you are looking at a bulk order of 60 or more as that is the only way Canaan sells direct now.
All their distributors do take BTC.
Und really should ask in the right areas t keep thread on-point...

Forgive my ignorance but can someone please explain why the reward appears to be slowly shrinking?  I understood that the reward would reduce slightly as more hashing power came to the pool (more users creating more hashing power relative to me)  But the reward is stilll slowly shrinking while the pool's overall hash rate also appears to be shrinking slightly?  Last week it was something like 168K TH/S now its around 150K TH/S but the reward given yesterday (for my unchained hash rate is still slightly smaller).

Thanks in advance.

With a single machine there's about a $2.25 difference per week at the current BTC-USD rate. Maybe worth it if I get more machines running.

I ran it also if I ran it during the very expensive portion of the peak time and I would lose $.25 per week there. So, I could probably talk myself into giving the pool that hash and not stop it. But I'd still be saving using the peak/off-peak instead of just the straight cost.

I have no idea how to factor wear and tear of the miner, but it would seem that allowing the system to cool down then warm up every day may have an impact on the chips physically.  It may make them last longer or it may cause expansion / contraction issues over time.  Something to consider - but I have no knowledge which way is which.  Mine runs 24x7 and (knock wood) has not had an issue for 9 months now.

If anyone running 2 s9s wants to share some numbers for the past 30 days with me to compare with slush let me know. Kano pool had a banging march, and I'd like to compare that vs. the tortoise that is slush. 

minergain has historical stats on the home page for kano and slush.  multiply your hash rate times days by the CDT (Coin per Day per Th).

Ramp up/ramp down.  You also have to look at each individual block reward, some are bigger than others.


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

Minergains numbers are often very wrong. I'm well aware of the website.

I still would love someone to review the numbers!!!  Par Avion, would you be willing to review my code / data - please???

One thing to note is that the Kano numbers are estimates until someone uploads their reward page which then makes them accurate (I think). I try to do it after the block, but it would be great if more people would do it so the numbers do not need to rely on me...  I was traveling last night, so just uploaded the last block - so was somewhat wrong all night...  Oh, and I get an email every time someone uploads their rewards page, so I know nobody else is doing it - yet!

I have also changed the rewards page so that you can get daily, weekly, monthly or yearly summaries with dollars based on when the blocks are found and dollars based on the current BTC price.  It also shares grand totals and dollars per day.

I calculated my 7 day CDT from block 516833 to block 517900 (6.7 days) to be 0.00008112 as opposed to 0.00006588 calculated at Minergain - maybe the numbers at Minergain are slightly off?

Remember that the CDT values are based on this exact minute, so if you check it right when a block is last found (give it a minute to get everything recalced), it should be much closer.  The more  minutes you get away from that, the more the value can change.  I also do have some caching going on which can cause minor differences (6 to 7 decimal places of resolution if I were to guess).

Maybe could change this to 0000 UTC (or daily) rather than have it calculate up to the minute?

Something is quiet here, are  all asleep?

Shhhh..  we are sneaking up on the next block...


Then we are going to BTCeat it until it cracks and mug it and take all the money from it!

ZoInKs!!! Scoobs and I were asleep again. We woke up to some jingling of twinkelbels and dropped some of Scooby's hash snacks. Like, we're still a little groggy so we'll pick them back up later. Enjoy your snacks in the meantime!!
