Yay! Block #3 for today  Keep it going!

Block by 16hNunxPKj!  This is his 4th Kano block and our 3rd of the day!  

We seem to be starting another Block roll!

My brain must have lost a day bc yesterday I thought I woke up to two blocks but I see by the stats page this morning that we actually had zero blocks yesterday. However, we really do have two blocks already today (unless today is yesterday & tomorrow is today?) 
Ok, so maybe today we can break out and get a couple more blocks - mine on!

Block! by cashdc

Yay! Another red block bites the dust

Block! by jmww
(that ends another run of recent pain ... hopefully)

Hey again guys, thanks for the responses, I'm sold on CKPool now. I'd rather make 34 cents a day than every 4 days. F2Pool went down the crapper for me. I anticipate staying with CKPool for good.

Moving my miner to another pool is almost like buying a house for me right now- it's a big step, so I had to be analytical about it. Lol

Many thanks for the guidance Newko, Firetreeactual and Zou. ^^ Cheers.

I am all good in NJ using optimum  online as my net provider.

There's been no server problems since the problems I mentioned on the 4th.
So prolly was local to you?

My home machines are on the main node; the Labrador machines are also. No issues here. Could be a local network/ISP issue.

No issues for me, NL node seems ok this time.

My miners keep dropping off, anyone else having issues?

EDIT: Issue with my local ISP

Hey, Nei...welcome. I think the others have done well in explaining stuff. I've run an S2 and six S3s for some time, but I have free power on those. My other machines are in Labrador. You'll do well here. I originally mined with Slush and another unnamed group. I do better here, and it's a lot more transparent.

Sorry for the OT, Kano...    

EDIT: Three of those S3s are currently running, trying to fill in for a down A6. They're useful as backups that way.

Nothing better that that first cup-o-Joe in the morning and waking up to 2 in the basket 
Let's hope this is the start of block party Saturday and we can get our Nov stats back to normal. Mine on!

Hi Nei. I'm averaging approx $1/day with my one S3 & one S5 running here, both under-clocked for a total of approx 1.3th
My estimate is that you would earn approx $0.34/day. Please keep in mind that unless you have free electricity, you will be losing money overall (as I am) because the cost to power the miners is more than they earn. I'm mining for fun and for the comraderie of the cool people on this forum. This is the best pool hands down, but the luck will fluctuate (true for every pool) so if you decide to mine here don't try to measure your performance after just 2 or 3 days. You need to stay for a full month. Many people run away when we have a couple of bad days in a row and then they come back when they see the luck is good again - that is a terrible strategy and they would do much better if they stopped pool hopping and just stayed here. Good luck no matter what your decision.

Sooo... I'm thinking of switching to CKPool, but there's a bit I'm ignorant of. Firstly, I've been mining with F2Pool for around a year and a half now; I used to get $1 a day with a 440GH/s Antminer S3 when the BTC value was trapped in the ($)200s. Now I get about 40-60 cents every 4 days when the BTC value fluctuates between $600 and $700. No idea what happened there.

So for CKPool, here's a few things I'd like to know before I switch...

- From what I've gathered about payouts, after 101 block confirmations the first time you begin mining, you don't get anything. But after 101 more, you begin earning due to the zero transfer fee perk. Is this right?

=> after 101 confirmations the block is matured. When the next block is found on this pool, the previous one is paid.

- What exactly makes this pool better than Antpool and f2Pool beside the low fee? Frankly, I haven't a clue which is best for me. I'd like to stick to one mining pool that's reliable with my one Antminer.

=> you know what is happening, with other large pools, you don't. And here, block fees are distributed, not kept by the pool.

- Keeping my GH/s in mind, how much would I be earning?

per block: 12BTC/pool Ghs x your Ghs (roughly)

- With the Antminer S3, would it be advantageous for me to use more than one miner or just one here? Does it even matter?

Since you just have 1 miner....
The more shares you produce, the more you earn.
I have 1 S7 and between 2 and 4 S5 on this pool. (depending if I powered them up or not)

- How long does it take on average for the 101 blocks to be confirmed?

depends..
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Confirmation

- I looked on the site and saw a table of Luck stats. It says only 7 blocks were mined this month, which is 'worse luck'. What does Luck mean for the miners? I assume the 'worse luck' this month doesn't matter since the month just began.

- given the pool Ths and the current diffifulty we're expected to have found 11 blocks so far.
We found 7.
last month we found 82 with an expectation of 79.

This is BTC. this is luck/probabilities.
Thanks in advance! I'd really like to start earning again.
