Going to throw additional 620TH pretty soon at this great pool. Unfortunately its not going to be Avalon 7 since they could not get down to the right level price wise. I would love to use Avalon but 131$ a TH is just way too expensive.

Great!

So... now we go on to mine one block an hour right?  Tongue

We will hit 4 blocks in the next 88 minutes. Grin

we made it !

Thanks dance for getting us out of that monster block with your 21st!  At least we didn't match the famous devil block (666.666%) of 2015! Cheesy

... and 2 more changes for anyone who gets an A7 and mines here Smiley

In /etc/crontabs/root
Change the '5' to '2'
i.e. change it to:
Code:
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor

and change /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor to check the last share, not the last work:
i.e. change line 14 from:
Code:
B=`cgminer-api devs | grep "^   \[Last Valid Work\]"`
to
Code:
B=`cgminer-api devs | grep "^   \[Last Share Time\]"`

Basically what this does is if the last share found is ever more than a minute ago, it will restart cgminer.
As I've mentioned before that's ever so unlikely here on a single miner.
But also I've found during the A7 startup it would often have to restart cgminer - and the 5->2 change speeds that up.

Very Cool!  Keep em coming! Grin

Isn't it odd how other countries did not come behind BTC?  The USA, UK or other countries could have invested as much in companies who ran mining farms.  It's a relatively cheap investment.  It could still happen.

The other country's don't have the feeling that their government is corrupt, and don't need a way to trade with the west that the government cannot control.
And no, it won't happen, 80% of the bitcoins have been mined and building a big mine now is a year+ before ROI, and labour and electricity costs are much higher than in China.

I just joined this pool! Should of waited a bit considering this crazy block I guess but o well, here to stay now Smiley

It's weird, I was on Slush's for the last week (got my first miner a week ago) and I've been on Kano for just over a day now. I found that in Slush's pool my average hashrate was less than what my miner displays, by almost a full TH/s. Hasn't happened so far in Kano's, the the hashrate displayed on the pool and on my miner are pretty much the same.



Trust me, this is crazy right now.  However I have been in a dozen different pools over the past 4 years and I am here to stay.  If you do choose to leave, find a pool that does not mine in China.  Over 75% of the hashing power is in that country right now.  Their government could single handily drop bitcoin to its knees.

Yeah the problem with that though is you are looking at the wrong number Smiley
As long as the pool is finding plenty of blocks every 2 weeks, every diff change, the time per block doesn't really matter.
What matters is the Diff% per block.

If the block is 50% diff then the effect on the reward is to double part of it.
If the block is 200% diff then the effect on the reward is to halve part of it.
Time plays no factor in that.

So in this case we are (currently) up to 470% - damn bad luck.
History shows the overall pool luck to be better than 100%, and monthly pool luck to usually be better than 100%.
Yep slow, long blocks happen, as is expected in hindsight.
Absolutely nothing you can do about that, it is expected, and of course happens on every pool Smiley

Thanx for that reply Kano, I get that taking 60h for a block is not a telling factor unless the hashrate would always be the same...
We crossed the 600% diff boundry...  so i'm guessing this month and week are going to be pritty red...
At the current Hashrate we should have around 3 to 4 blocks a day to be around 100% right?

Your gratuitous use of spoilers offends me... oh wait, wrong forum. Mine on.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Now that is one hot & spicy chicken! Shocked
Between her and Kano's anime sacrifice, we are bound to bust this block any moment now  Grin

(I'm going back to sleep now so I can dream about usukan's chick-a-dee  Wink)
Mine on!

Well, it seems we've gone well beyond the need for an anime sacrifice so I'll start with ... Calamity Mary Smiley

FYI the anime probably should be named "Magical Girl Death Match" ...

Cool.

Looking for more updates.

My miners are in customs awaiting for clearance.
