A couple of questions if I may...

One, I have apx 110TH/s that I can point to ckpool.org. I was looking at the BTC.com link on ckpool showing the number of blocks found by ckpool. I have to pay my power bill with the BTC I'm generating - but am wondering with so few blocks found in the last 2 months by ckpool - can I count on payouts enough to cover power? I mean, with BTC at the current rate - if I need 4 blocks of payout and only 3 get found - I'm leery. Would like to try - but I HAVE to be making enough to pay the power. I'm paying apx $0.07/kWh. Just installed the LPM firmware on my S9's a few weeks ago - so not sure what my power bill will be, but prior to that I have been in the $700-$750 pre month range (I also have a few L3 variants running as well).

Two, does this pool allow the S9 variants to use the ASICBoost(LPM) firmware to be utilized? It has dropped my power consumption noticeably - I'd hate to have my power use ramp back up if not supported.

Three, I assume from looking at the other miners on the pool that this would put me in the top 50 for being on the payout schedule each time - am I reading this correctly?

Thanks!

yeah 110 th means every block you get paid .

variance can be hard. you could do 35 th + 35 th + 35 th nicehash, viabtc and ck.

I have been getting paid at 35 th almost every block think 1 carry over in the last 20 blocks.

I am not sure if asicboost antminer works here ck can answer that.

Philipma1957, do you have any experience with KanoPool? They are smaller too - but maybe splitting between ckpool and kanopool - would have a better chance at 8 to 10 blocks per month which would probably give enough variance to cover bills better. And just out of curiosity - why ViaBTC? Looking at WhereToMine, it seems they are a little ways down on the lists for best payouts. Is it because they are not in China and to help spread the processing power - or other?

Work is work, a hash is a hash. Glad to have you, pull up a chair.

-ck, what're we drinking again?

So I bought some expensive ass Japanese whiskey 100$+. THAT'S NOT JAPANESE!!! That's the problem! It was in the Japanese whiskey section at Spec's. Says Cask Strength Japanese whiskey aged in Japanese oak barrels. Come to find out, it was made in CHINA! Im blaming this for all my problems right now. Fucking Cheap god awful Chinese whiskey imitating some great Japanese whiskey.

Greetings and thank you for creating a Pool that is worth a damn.
I just recently got back into Crypto Currencies after killing my own pools because after 18 months it was only 4 of us mining them.
Unfortunately not soon after that I sold all of my mining rigs.

Now I am here at CKPool with a Gecko 2 PAC and three more on the way. Doubt that I will take part in solving the next block but it's good to be on a decent pool.
Perhaps after I build back up I will try the Solo Pool but for now, I will play with the rest of yall with the big rigs and see what happens.

Looking at maybe using this pools source to add another pool to the East Coast.

Welcome, and good hashing!

A little pump is nice, no one is going to complain about more hash. There are a few here that push some rentals in at times.

I don't think it's a bad idea for finds. But for just ramp up is all we're warning about. I think most here are all about drinking scotch and smashing blocks. Wink

... and we're at 111.1% so quite a few of us are getting thirsty!!!

Not sure about your formula but best answer is: variables will change so any math will as well. I'd use CG's tool to help but with that kind of hashing you'll know after a few days where your derp will lay for this coming block.

Ive been mining on this pool for if I had to guess around 2 weeks, and have renting a lot of hashing power so I get to full 5nd as fast as possible. Thats why im trying to figure out what my full payout will be to see if I have reached 5nd. Not sure how to calculate when you throw rentals into the equation.

Just a heads up. The numbers don't add up for renting hashpower just to make up the 5ND so I recommend against it unless you're getting it for very cheap (which you're usually not.)

I was also doing it to support the pool and hopefully finding a block. I found a 5.3 Trillion hash using the rented power, highest number I have ever gotten. I wish it was .4 higher!

There isn't much of a need to worry about being fully ramped up as every hash you submit counts regardless. I would look at others on active mining list that have similar hash rates and speculate from there but I think your 0.1 BTC estimate is pretty close looking at the pool this second.

If anyone is on the verge of pulling out because of low BTC costs and high electric and needs a better place to host contact me. I have hosting options that are still very profitable

Also stupid question but I want to make sure im doing this right.

So I have 275 TH/s. Current Estimated time for new miner to hit full 5N: 46 days, 18 hours, 45 min, 14 sec

Pool is 28.4 PH/s at the 1 day mark.

So do I take 275/28400 = 0.0096830985915493 x 12.5 = 0.1210387323943662 and thats the amount I should expect from each block + fees at full ramp?

Well guys, im going to be adding more to this pool. 275th/s currently, and will be adding another 150 TH/s or so in the next 30 days. Found a spot with essentially free electric, so bringing all my T9+ and s7 back online!

Anyone wanna help me out and let me know what the current ramp up time is? Ive been renting hashrate so that im at full load when the next block is found and I think im close to 5ND.

38AqVxEXiwVu4Lv9J9JAPSZPuRxhDdUnGr is my username if anyone wants to let me know.

It's worth noting you can substantially decrease your bandwidth requirements with bitcoin core by enabling the blocksonly mode. You will have the same level of security, can still send transactions, the only difference to you is that transactions will need one confirm before they even show up in your wallet. This is actually more secure anyway, but a little disconcerting if someone has just sent you some coin as you can't see it till the next block passes. You are not supporting the network as much as a full node, but you are still helping slightly.

I strongly recommend against running Bitcoin Core in blocks-only mode. It removes the significant privacy benefit of sent transactions blending in with relayed mempool transactions.

I recommend using Bitcoin Core as your hot wallet and your Ledger Nano S as your cold wallet. Here are five reasons why. Most importantly, using a full node as your hot wallet contributes to Bitcoin's economic strength.

If you are unable or unwilling to store the entire Bitcoin blockchain, you may run Bitcoin Core with pruning enabled, using the -prune= command-line argument. (The Ledger Live app may also not work properly with payments from coinbase transactions, which is how this pool pays its miners. There is currently no documentation from Ledger regarding this.)

You are not supporting the network as much as a full node, but you are still helping slightly.

Note that no light wallet will ever be as secure as a full blockchain based one, but another alternative for a secure low bandwidth light wallet is still greenbits on android or greenaddress on iphone - they have a web interface you can use on PC as well if need be ( http://greenaddress.it ). These are not as flash as some of the newer wallets but get the job done and have all their code open and auditable.

Walter Russell's Cosmogony is RIGHT!

I'm back...at a host, 3x S9's full time... with Boost upgrade....plus I throw a few more on from home for a few hours a week.
C'mon diff drop and lucky streak and price rise..
