My guess is that Canaan is doing a first-batch burn-in on the 741...

Good guess.
I noticed yesterday that canaan was @ more than DOUBLE the rate of his current rate (1,185.64THs) that he's at today.

So what exactly would happen with everyones current 1xxxx wallets that hold funds?
Absolutely nothing. The existing 1x transactions work the way they always did, using the standard blockchain space and mechanism for transactions, signing, and verification.
No.
The txns that use 1xxxx addresses get weighted 4x using a 3xxxx address.
So the cost of using 1xxxx addresses will effectively be 4x the cost of using a 3xxxx address if segwit activates.

Hello, what is the status for SegWit? Brian Armstrong from Coinbase recently endorsed it https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/817258015619321857

I don't think you will see it here anytime soon...

Thank you. Do the pros outweigh the cons?

In ckpool/ckdb we have a structure called the workinfo, that's the break down of the common data required for all stratum work sent to miners.
One part of that is what we call coinbase2 - it's got a limit of 256 hex bytes.
Since 1-Mar this year, in all work, coinbase2 has been 196 hex bytes.
segwit has put coinbase2 over 256 hex bytes - more than 30% bigger ...



How big of an issue is that?

And i think the sidechain part is irrelevant. Who cares what people do with bitcoin? As long as they pay the fees to miners and dont ddos (In fact SegWit improves verification times afaik) etc. There are many benefits of SegWit and the cost and risks seem neglicible. Anyway im out. Peace.
Well, there's also the hidden and avoided question of "Why segwit?"

There is actually no problem with current standard transactions, and the malleability issue, though effectively no longer relevant, is fixed with a very minor change that's not part of segwit, but in the segwit change also, but I guess the devs don't want people to notice that.

Segwit is a fix for maleability in P2SH (3xxxx transactions)
When the bitcoin devs designed P2SH, they got it wrong, they added a faulty P2SH.
Segwit is a fix for some of their mistakes.
But it also forces everyone to use P2SH instead of standard transactions.
So basically forcing everyone into whatever other problems there are with P2SH, and out of using standard 1xxxx transactions.
All your 1xxxxx addresses will become a thing of the past if segwit activates (which it wont)

Juvia's boyfriend GRAY has also joined in yesterday, 120 x A7s from Labrador  Cheesy
Way to go, GRAY...so that's why Alan's been so busy...I luv it when a plan comes together. Kiss

It took awhile to get 6 fully loaded controllers setup and power distribution; to all the miners up and running.

Juvia is still on S9v1 and will be on permanent vacation mining elsewhere until further notice.

Who knows.... we could have a 2PH reunion soon.
Would luv to see Juvia back in the near future Smiley  She's a good luck girl!  Cheesy

Heck. I don't even like Bitmain that much. I really don't care about what happens to the company. I only use the miners because they make the most money. As soon as bitfury gets their heads out of their ass's. I'll buy from them. If the A7 was any where close to being comparable.  I would buy from them. I only care about making the most amount of money so I can continue to grow my mining business.
Yep that's pretty reasonable Smiley

My stats posts, which are supposed to have nothing to do with that Tongue, are about the fact that a particular firmware, S9v1 has REALLY bad luck on the pool.
To the point where it is unlikely to just be "bad luck"

The S9v2 so far has been good (above expected luck), but like the A7, not a lot of data yet.

The new firmware from bitmain S9 or R4 seem to take a post 10mins before staring to hash. As any of you wonder what happen during these 10mins? Can it be possible that the miner warm up hashing somewhere for bitmain ?  Its only 10mins but multiply by x it can be substantial   
The A7 did that also, but my minor fix to the cron timing made it a lot shorter.
It may be related?

Also, the A7 is normally quite slow to get up to full speed to avoid overrunning the 16nm chip limits - maybe Bitmain thought that was a good idea also ... to reduce failures? Tongue

If I had the answer to how many a week BitmainWarranty repairs, that would give a good idea of the amount of failures the S9 has.
The fact that he "couldn't" tell me maybe also suggests something ... ... ...

Glad we only have ONE s9, was very pricey at the time.  Mining on S7 for almost 14 month and had less then 2% failing rate. A6 was more like 10% for the same period. Let see what these R4 do
