noob here...just ordered 2 Antminer S9's  and have been looking at many pools to decide to start in... they are the 14.5 TH/s batch that just shipped....Will the 2 S9's in this pool be able to get me around 0.4 bitcoin per month?

If the S7 shows today and I can figure out how to get it set up and running then that will be the start hopefully
Well it's pretty straight forward for miners with a web interface.
The table on the front of https://kano.is/ shows the basics for the web setup of miners.

If you are in the west to middle US then use the default stratum connection there.

If you are anywhere else use one of the nodes:
NYA (new york) DE (germany) NL (amsterdam) SG (singapore) JP (japan)

So e.g. NYA would be stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333

You can ping them to compare.
If you are equally close to NL and DE, then use NL.

Been watching and learning on the forums. Am a newb with a little hash to throw at your pool and will either tonight or tomorrow night...    Grin
Well as long as it's in the TH+ range you'll get rewards paid each block Smiley
Dust (less than 10,000 satoshi) gathers in the corner for some far future code update (but shows on your rewards page)

Though, if you mean renting, I'd advise against it, since it's typically a net BTC loss.

You'd best correct them unless you have changedd your mind in the last few days.

Another one of those few and far between network dropouts by ckpool to the passthough 10ms away from it Tongue
At 08:14 UTC a lot of miners will have disconnected and reconnected immediately, though some failed over due to it.
All was OK again immediately after it.

There actually 2 passthus, kano.is and kano.space (both on the same server) but only the connection with kano.is dopped.
All the nodes also connect directly to the back-end server and none of them disconnected - so no node miners were affected.

Kano.is do great in advertising, most of youtube how to mine, how to setup miners...all of them show kano.is pool.  Grin
But you do a good job too.

So if I am solo mining and I have 2 machines then they are fighting against each other really. They are both doing their own thing completely ignorant of each other.

I guess I am not understanding how a pool actually works then.  Is this where the 'shares' come into play?  Are all of our individual machines sending our best shares to some overlord node server or is something using all of our hash power combined?  Ie some communication is there to use all the hash power for the combined good of the pool?  
Heh I missed seeing you post Smiley

No, it's PoW that matters (Proof of Work)
A valid share is Proof of Work.

A miner of X THs has 1/1000 of the chance of a miner of X PHs of finding a block.
So the X THs miner will expect to be rewarded 1/1000th of the X PHs miner.
The reward expectation is linear, with random variance, vs hashing power.

Everyone is simply trying to find a block.
The pool checks each share you submit to make sure it's a valid PoW and then the share is worth whatever the difficulty the work sent was assigned.

If your hash rate is expected to find 1 block a week, then you'd expect (on average) to be rewarded (here) a little more than the equivalent of one block a week.
You'd also expect to average finding 1 block a week while you mine here ... if the difficulty never changed Smiley

When you solo mine you are going to hit massive variance if your hash rate isn't in the 1PHs or greater range.
In the 10PH to 50PH range the variance is noticeable, like the pool here being ~22PHs but not unbearable for most.

Pooled mining has 3 main reasons:
1) Reduce variance by being part of a large pool of miners sharing the blocks found based on PoW
2) Reduce your risk of losing blocks if the pool has good block distribution, we do of course have awesome block distribution Smiley
3) Reduce mining cost (for a fee) by not having to setup and maintain servers to do that block distribution ... I do all that Smiley
Fees here are lower than all the larger pools and even lower than solo ... and I don't expect a tip either Smiley

Ahh that's starting to make more sense now.  So the power of the pool is that we are all sharing the proof of works also with the combined hash power.  I thought there was more to it then just the hash power.

Wow the luck of the last 5 blocks is over 300%!  Great to see.  I would love to get my hash rate over 100 T/H.
Gotta make those hard decisions on how much mined btc to re-invest and how much to hold for long term gains.

Fingers crossed for continued good luckBTC
