I'm in BTC XTC
Well it's been 1 year since I started mining here on kano-ckpool - actually been 1 year since I got into mining in the first place, I know a bit late but so far very interesting.  In just 1 year I went from a single S5 barely pumping out 1THs, to an S7, and then to two R4 units which will be sending 16.7THs to the pool (once the second one arrives and gets running!)  Grin
Geeze, glad the ND didn't increase by 16 times like my hashrate did!!   Cheesy

Mine on, kano-ites!   Smiley

Well I'll add regarding HW errors.

As long as the miner isn't failing due to overheating/pushing it too hard/whatever, what you actually want to compare is the accepted hash rate.
The Workers->Shifts statistics and Workers->Shift Graph will show that.
HW errors, stales, etc don't count in what you get rewarded.
Your rewarded hash rate is purely just accepted valid shares.
If that goes down (or up) after a few days then you'll know if it was better or worse due to the update.
Though, finding a block is certainly gonna reward better than not finding one Smiley

I always thought that you want your err rate at or below .01%, otherwise your are wasting power for no increase in hash rate. Especially when you are OC'ing the miner. So better to have .0005 err and 4.8 Th then .05 err and 4.95 TH. Is that a true statement?
Well yeah that (bolded part) is basically what I said Smiley
Edit: OK I clearly didn't read that properly - NO you don't want a lower Accepted Hash Rate!
You want the higher rate of whatever is shown on the pool.

The only catch is that what Bitmain miners report, and what you are really getting accepted, are not exactly the same.

When I modified the S1/S2/S3 (years ago) I added "Paid GH/s" which is really what matters. "Diff Accepted" / "Elapsed"
(Bitmain of course never added it)
That number is effectively what's shown on the web site.

My phone crashed and I had to get a new one. However, I can't remember what the 2nd authentication app was called and it didn't update to my new phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I discovered that problem when I switched to an iPhone 7.  On googling the problem I was pointed at Authy, an alternative authenticator app which has been working well for me - and its/your keys are backed up in case you have to reinstall (with all the caveats that your keys are only as safe as your backups).

Only 2FA app I know of is Google Authenticator. But if its not on your phone then I doubt it will have the information stored when you do download it again.

Take a look at deepinthemines.com. I had a recent conversation re the 1KW HP bricks w/breakouts I use, but had a bad batch of pigtails from a previous supplier. They have put together a PSU package that works with that configuration for my A6, A721, and three S7s. It would do well for your instance, and is cost effective. I have only 110V, and so this approach has worked well for a couple of years through S2s, S3s, S7s, A6s, and now an A7. Never bought an S9, but it would do nicely.

I don't think those will work for him, they are all 220V. At least I hope so, you don't want to be pulling 2800+ watts on 110V circuit.

Yeah, but Bitmain says "The APW5 is compatible with one Antminer S9 but ONLY with a 220V input. With a 110V input, we do NOT recommend that APW5 be used to run an Antminer S9." And all I have access to is 110V.

I agree s9's would be ideal, do you have a way around this?
Yeah, use standard computer PSU's, not the Bitmain ones.

Yes, that.  Wink

R4's are available on Bitmain...I'm hoping to ramp up to buy some R4s down the road...
If you're planing on doing any serious expansion, don't get R4s. The per/board & per/chip cost vs a "regular" S9 is taxing on your ROI.  Wink

It is another node to connect to, located in New York.

On to a lighter subject Smiley
I guess few noticed, but no one asked, about the thread title.
Well I added another node the other day that can be mined to.
nya.kano.is

... oh and also ... it's in NY (New York) Smiley
If you are between the link between NY and Vegas it wont really help.
If you connect to NY and it's WAY faster than to Vegas then it may reduce your stales.

R4's are available on Bitmain. Get them while they last: https://shop.bitmain.com/main.htm?lang=en

I'd love to have one, but can't afford it at the moment, I'm trying to only use the Coin I earned and was going to pick up a S7 @ 2.7 TH but we hit that dry spell and I did not reach my goal until after the S7s were gone.

I get some free 110v electric at work, so the cheap S7s with the PSU that runs on 110v is a no brainer, I'm hoping to ramp up to buy some R4s down the road.

Does anyone know of any other place to pick up Antminers that accepts BTC?

www.eastshore.xyz. HagssFinn has bought three miners from them without any issues. I have been in contact with them regarding an S9 but ended up getting one from a member on here instead.
