Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1134. (Read 5352229 times)

Sorry for the OT. But, Thanks! You all are the BEST! 

Let us not clutter the thread with any more about me.

Let's get those BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

OT I know but, sending good vibes to fellow kanopoolian wmabern to land the job and get back to living!

Now back to our regularly scheduled block cracking programme...   

Thanks! I appreciate the well-wishes. I have already had my 2nd interview with them. I'm guessing it's between me and perhaps one other person. It is a "State" job here in the US. Full-time, full benefits, good salary, etc. All of the things I don't have now. LOL

Yes, I agree with your perspective above. With my electric cost, it has always been a fine line between making a profit and just breaking even. Thankfully, the Kano pool has been great in terms of rewards and I have always come out in positive territory. I agree that in the long run it's best to be here and stay. I will be back.

I hope that post earlier about the next difficulty increase will not come to fruition. Hopefully, some of that hash will be turned off before the next diff increase. (Which I think is only about 1 day away.)

Cheers!!

EDIT: Yes, I don't have any "deep pockets" either. If anything, I have holes in all of my pockets! 

Firstly, good luck with your job interview and I hope you get it for a Merrier Christmas.

Secondly, I do share your concerns and pain. The extreme variance of the slow or no growth in recent months is a double edge swords. Just like you, I do have monthly commitment to electricity bills etc. What I usually do is I allocate more hash rates on PPS-style (rental included) mining in the first half of the month to ensure I achieve 80~90% of the accrued bills for that month, then the rest at Kano. Everyone knows Kano pool is the most rewarding pool in the long run, *theoretically* speaking. But reality is we all have near-term commitments. Striking a fine balance between predictable revenue and long term better rewards is paramount to small miners without deep pockets like me.

Kano-san, we having another Avalon giveaway contest? Just got a tweet from Canaan announcing the latest winner of an A721 at the kano.is pool... Stealth contest??   or did I miss the announcement?

Hey folks,
This variance/luck (or lack thereof) is killing me!! (But I know a lot of folks are hurting.)  

As one who has been cashing in my coins at the end of each month and using the proceeds to pay, among other things, the electric bill, December is looking grim. And COLD. Brrr. (Which in itself is a good thing.)

Since I've been doing the monthly cash-in, I've been able to mine ~1.5 BTC on Kano each month. It's been great and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Especially, the BIG GREEN Streaks! It has usually come out that I can pull in between $900-1,100 after fees. Then out of that, my electric bill is ~$460. Which has always given me a nice little profit that has gone to help with other bills.

But I'm going to have to step away from the pool for the rest of this month. I'm thinking I can come back after the 1st of the year. After the 1st of the year, I HOPE I will have a new job with much better pay. I should find out about the hiring decision around the middle of next week.

IF I get this new job, my life will change 100% for the better and I will no longer have to factor in BTC earning to help with the bills. I will instead try to grab another S9 or two to add to my ~49TH. In fact, after having this new job for a short while, I may be able to afford a new house and be able to set up a larger dedicated "mining room" with more power outlets and support for perhaps six more S9's, maybe more and have room and power left over in case another ASIC player should put out a machine worth while. (However that seems unlikely any time soon.)
Of course, I will point all that new hash at Kano/CK pool.

So, I hope Kano/CK can rack in the blocks between now and the new year!!! I would love to see an all-green stats page again for my return! I wish everyone the best!!! I still have some hash here in my 5Nd.
With my normal luck - which is usually not the best - the pool should start hitting blocks left and right if I'm not here.  

I won't be going far and will keep my eyes on the pool and forum as I always have since I was lucky (and wise enough) to move my miners here about 10 months ago.
I'm certainly not going to the Dark-Side (Chinese pools)

Best wishes and best of luck!!!! Let's turn this December around!!!
COME ON BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

p.s Look at that crappy block Ant Poo just mined. 0.21 kB in size. Pretty pitiful. Grrr. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/blocks/1

p.s. I consider most of you all as an extended family. There is no other pool forum that can come close to the comradery here. That is all. Mine on!!! 

Ant poo finding dozens of blocks today - of course. But about half of them are 2.00kb blocks. I guess that is a pretty good example of mining 'empty' blocks. ^%$%^&*(%$#@@#$%Y&

No such thing as luck. Anyways, mine on.

Kano has made comments on this subject. So... no off topic here.

Anyways. Mine on.

My whole point is we need to increase our pool hash rate. If wee do not. Then we will get less and less blocks with each diff increase.  Which will probably be the demise of this pool. And I do not want to see that. We have more miners under 1 th than above 200 th.

Sorry, I was writing while you posted. Will do. No more of this topic.

tournamentdan, many, many people have had issues with S9's. Myself included. I've had an I/O board replaced under warranty and am having issues with another controller acting flakey. No, no over-clocking involved. As a matter of fact,, they are all under-clocked right now by 25Mhz.
Just because you have been lucky doesn't mean all of the other people with problems have been reckless.
Consider yourself lucky and I hope your luck holds. We could use some of that around here.

So you're right i'm shit and so are my friends

Right. Because the majority of people in this world are  truthful and trustworthy. Yup, they always admit to their own mistakes. Especially if its going to take money out of their pockets. Then its multiplied even more with the conspiracy theorist. And as we all know the world wide web is full of them. 

Absolutely not

Most likely the same people that were cooking their miners by over clocking them to much. Funny how the complaints have gone down after the over clocking was taken away.

Actually my Roi with electricity is 7 months. But instead of putting that money in my pocket. I am reinvesting all of the net profit so that in 7 months, I will have twice the amount of equipment. And will probably do the same the following 7 months after that.

Man, the Chinese pools seem to be grabbing everything today. I know they have huge hash rates, but the percentages of blocks going to them is just maddening.
BitFury is in there with them, and have found 12 blocks over the last 24 hours. But Slush, with 147PH, has only gotten 2 over the last 24 hours.

What can you do...... nada.
 

COME ON BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!


 

well you're lucky as hell, just follow the bitmain thread.

I personally asked a few person because I wanted to buy some and the answer is pretty much => worst ever miner they made so far.

I own 17 S9 with 3 more on the way and have had 0% failure.
