Mine on! I got the 1st block for us this month, time for you slackers to pick it up!

I'm trying Fuzzy. I already have 1 block on the acclaim list (davewill2). Just recently retired the Avalon 741s and the last Ebit E9
and added two brand new Dragonmint T1s. I'm up to 94TH now. Oh yes, also overclocking my S9s at 15TH each with modded firmware
that has auto tuner configuration which surprisingly keeps the power consumption down. My goal this month is to get one more block on
the acclaim list.

Which firmware are you using? I've been tweaking mine too but only about 14.5.

I am thinking about moving to your pool. I have 763.5TH. But without reading through this entire thread, can you tell me if there is anyway that your pool can notify me if a worker has stopped working or is hashing at a low rate via email or phone app?

Kano keeps the 1st page updated, definitely no need to read all the in-between, but to address your question directly you'll need an app or other way to notify. The pool itself won't do it. Personally I use Awesome Miner to report low hashrate, high temp, etc.

You should try the pool, solid people, low fee, and Discord where rifleman74 drive by posts MINE ON KANO SAN and then fades in to the darkness

I'm using this one: xilinx-antminer-s9-s9i-1.0.7.2.tar.gz
On cold days I set it at 16TH auto tune mode and I get 1585 watts at the wall. I keep it at 15TH on warm days
and get 1465 watts at the wall.

would you share what you did with your S9's?

EDIT: I see above where you answered someone else with same question. thanks!

A follow up from the change I did to the main stratum node the other day:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg46326106#msg46326106

Recap:
The stratum node is 3 servers in a round-robin so if you mine to stratum.kano.is, you randomly get one of the 3.
I replaced one of the AWSLS oregon nodes with another provider node in LosAngeles.

So now:
the old node still has about 20% of the miners on it.
i.e. about 300 miners are mining away on the old AWS node that I'm shutting down.
So to push those final miners over to one of the current 3 nodes, I'll stop it.

As before, no one needs to do anything, it will simply be a failover from the old stratum node to one of the other 3.
It will also only affect those ~300 (random) workers on stratum.kano.is

I'll do this in 1.5 hrs at 04:00 UTC so any (of the ~300 miners) that fail over due to that, you will know why.

Again it is just an immediate failover for ~300 miners, nothing more.

One thing I forgot to mention, I use the APW5 power supply when I overclock the S9 with this firmware.

I live in Oregon. Will my miners jump to another Oregon node or to the LA node?

Random - but it's already been done 3 days ago as I mentioned in the other post.

stratum.kano.is is 3 nodes, 2 in Oregon and 1 in LA.
It's random which one you end up on when you connect.
While the LA one is 30ms further (for anyone closer to oregon), so far it also happens to be better at holding connections.

As I said in the post the other day,

They're 30ms apart but that's OK for this 'trial' run.
This is to see how well it performs and if all goes as planned I'll probably do some more changing around of stratum.kano.is in a few weeks.

I have a Skype call with the new ASIC company Triple-1 next week to discuss their new miners. If the units are really as efficient as they claim, their "eco" model produces the same hashrate as the Antminer S9J but with barely half the power consumption @ 750 watts. Their "hyper" model is 33 TH/s with 2,000 watts - hashrate close to 3 S9J's but with just a little over half the power consumption.

I am hoping the discussion goes well and that I can get in on early purchasing. I just hope their prices are not so ridiculous that it makes it more economical to stay with slower/less efficient machines due to increased ROI time frame of their miners.

And if/when I do get one of their miners, it will be coming here

No new company has ever come out with something twice as good as everyone else ... be wary of losing your money ... or they're overstating their miners to get people to buy them.

oh for sure - my hope is to test one and provide a review. If they do work - then to purchase. It is not that their miners are twice as good because they use the same tech - they are claiming twice as efficient due to using 7nm vs 16nm chips. But as you stated and to which I agree, that will need to be seen before it is believed.

Well I'm test running an A921 7nm ... and it's not half the power of the previous models ...
It's a well known fact that 7nm wont give the sort of gain that company is stating.

And that is a Cannan miner right? they have been around for a bit. what are the specs? are they any more efficient than say Bitmain? I am still curious to see what Bitmain will claim as their 7nm specs.

You should poke around the mining speculation board. Most of the nexgen equipment had been announced there and has discussions ongoing.  

Some of the hardware has already been released you can find that gear in the hardware section

[MoparMiningLLC]

Triple-1 is listing 2 miners,

first:

Hashrate : 14.5 TH / s ± 5% (* at the normal state)
Power Consumption : 750 W ± 5%
Power Efficiency : 0.052 W / GH ± 5%

second:

Hashrate : 33.0 TH / s ± 5% (* at the normal state)
Power Consumption : 2,000 W ± 5%
Power Efficiency : 0.061 W / GH ± 5%

And Bitmains (for comparison):

Hashrate : 14.5 TH / s ± 10%
Power Consumption :1,350 W ± 10%
Power Efficiency :0.093 W / GH ± 7%

so not half but close. Again - if their claims are right and as always - until proven, it will not be believed.

and yes, I have read over there. I only commented it here because if I can get one I will be pointing it to Kano's pool

The A921 is listed as 22TH/s and 1800W with the efficiency at 0.08 W/GH and it's $800 to $1000 depending on if you're in the US or not.  It's hard to believe someone could make the same chip more efficient but who knows.  The known in this equation is how reliable Avalon equipment has been.

agreed. only time will tell.

Noob here...I am located in Central America and have 6 s9 antminers I would like to fire up in a pool somewhere, is this a good one vs slushpool or nicehash for what I have? My electricity cost is 0 due to a deal we have with the power company. Apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask this.
