Hey Kano crew...  I recently moved over to Kano from Slush and think I'm here to stay for the long haul!  Smiley  Good payouts.  And like seeing Kano so present in this forum.

Quick question... thinking about scaling up my current home-mine to a larger scale operation (thinking 500TH-1PH to start) and was wondering if anyone here has stats on diminishing returns over time?  Basically, I'm building a "business plan" of sorts and have a large excel xls going to calculate revenue / expense / profit for this operation.  I am very well aware of network diff increases (ie +8% per month), but was wondering if factoring them in in this way was accurate based on people's historical returns?

So, I start with a rough estimate of what a single miners earns in a month on the pool.  For numbers sake, lets say 1 BTC / month.  Would I expect that same miner to make 0.92 BTC in month 2 (92% of mth1)?  And then 0.8464 in month 3 (92% of mth2)?  Etc?

Am I thinking about this correctly to make a conservative estimate (note - I plan on holding BTC price in my calculations static, again, to be conservative)?  Or am I reducing the returns too much since I plan on pool mining and not solo?

Thanks!!

And lose the 'in bed with Bitmain' train of thought. You will find very few here fitting that idea.
And many of us that have spent a small fortune with them wish there was a viable alternative when it comes to ROI.  Cry

Evil beware: We have waffles!

I do very much enjoy Kano pool and was hoping to get info from kano pool users since these machines will be sending their hash rate your way and the users here have the experience and knowledge I lack 
So then post in the *hardware* sections of the forum....

Please stop posts about altcoin miners.
I'll delete any more from here on.

Edit: L3 is an altcoin miner - nothing to do with bitcoin.

*******KANO****** 

please read before deleting

I am looking for a bitcoin miner...   
there is no mention of me looking of an altcoin miner in any post and defiantly not in this post.  I am looking for KANO preferred alternatives to Bitmain.. Are you in bed with them now?  If not, what manufacture do you suggest?

 Be a leader not a deleter..lol

I am sorry, Ill rephrase the question.  It wasn't so much about altcoin but the service quality of a vendor that handles a good chunk of bitcoin hashrate.

Anyone know of alternate quality suppliers of tube/high hashrate miners(Bitcoin) that are available for purchase and that can be used with Kano pools?

Thank you and sorry in advance if I offended anyone in any way.

...I just ordered 3 L3's for the may 5th shipping.  Smiley ...
I missed out on the May and I'm close to sure that the July shipment will have 1/2 the profits by the time I get mine near August. Sad

funny how they/him "had" everybody [no shipping under pretense] and here you are...may i have another...


Bitmain just informed me that they can only ship 2 of the L3's I paid for..lol  other can be shiped july 15.. they oversold on Monday.  Any recommendation on other manufactures for a tube type miner?

A reminder to people about the most important part about any non-solo pool.

The transactional integrity of the users share data.

Anyone who assumes a piece of software will never crash, is of course, a moron Smiley
When pool software fails, it's critical that when it restarts, it has all the share information it had before.
If you can't guarantee this, then miners will lose rewards.

CKDB ensures this using 2 levels of storage.
Firstly there is a back end postgresql relational database that stores all information required about users and their accounts. It also stores all the shift share data, that is updated each time a shift is summarised, and various other mining data.

When ckpool crashes, it has no effect on CKDB, since any shares not already passed to CKDB are not accepted shares for the miner, and all shares passed to CKDB are of course there in RAM and also in the dual log files of the sequential share information.
If CKDB crashes, a restart reloads all the recent shift data stored in the relational database, then rebuilds the current shift using the ckpool log files and continues to process the running ckpool data, synchronising the two to ensure there are no lost or duplicate shares.

This is all in the public git of CKDB.

If you feel the urge to leave and join some other pool, firstly consider how safe your share data is on the other pool Smiley

I will also point out that the changes made on ckpool early in the year to support a 'remote node' guarantee that shares will be lost if the remote node ckpool is ever restarted or crashes.
One of the reasons this pool will never use that mode in the ckpool software.

why need to under clock when the temp just 76'f /25'c  Roll Eyes still much lower from antminer spec under 40'c

Because I have four S9's in a small spare bedroom. Two fans pull in outside air onto the miner air intakes. Another fan is for exhaust.
When the outside air temp get's to be 75F and hotter, the miner chip temps start to get hot - over 97-103C. I don't like them running that hot so I turn the frequency down so that the chip temps stay in the mid 90's C.

EDIT: They all also need a good cleaning. So I need to take them off-line one by one and disassemble them blowing out dust and cleaning the fans. I'm sure that will lower my temps by about 5C. I just have to find the time.


wmabern I have been a bit worried what it was going to be like when summer rolled around.  But Sunday It hit 81F and really sunny where im at in upstate NY and with 3 S9's going out in my garage by midday it was ridiculously hot out there at one point the air temp in the garage was at 110f Yikes. So I threw a fan in the window to try and force some hot air out.  But even with a fan blowing as much hot air out the window that I could. I was only able to get the air temp in the garage down to 98F.  But my chip temps were in the high 80s to mid 90c range. But the fans were going max speed and loud.  and a fan in the window blowing out the hot air in the garage was just barely helping.

 But I also just got done with all the electric upgrades and was ready to move them all to a rack thats has a window behind it.  Just something as simple as moving them and haveing the hot exhaust blow straight out the window even with a screen sent most of the heat outside. and it didnt take long till the air temp in the garage was down only about 6 degrees more then it was outside. So just that did more then a big window fan was doing.  But I knew I could not keep them that close to an open window permanently and still wanted to get more of the exhausted heat outside without it mixing with any of the incoming air.  So today I finished off the project with 3d printed fan shrouds and 2 feet of dryer vent hose on the back of each miner. Then I used a pcs of wood with 4-inch holes cut out that the ends of the hoses go threw and cut to fit in the window frame so I can seal out the elements.  Now my chip temps are lower then what was normal even on some pretty cold nights and my fans are running a heck of a lot slower then even too.  So I think even in the hottest days of summer It will not be any ware near as hot as the garage got on Sunday.

I was being sarcastic as well as a lil superstitious.   I know it all pays off in the long run.. except for the 80 bitcoins I sold for 100 bucks during my divorce years ago..lol   I just got back into mining,  I bought my first miner(s9) back in January, built two gpu rigs last month and now I just ordered 3 L3's for the may 5th shipping.  Smiley     I am hoping that this pool will make getting another S9 logical

My invalids went way up in the last few days  Would the CKDB restart have anything to do with that?   was running 0.5% and now its up to 1.4%
Nope, restart has no effect on that.
Only expected effect is when we find a block, it starts higher and drops (pretty quickly)
