Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1190. (Read 5352229 times)

Block by dance191 with an S7!  This is his 19th Kano block and our 4th of the day! 

Really? 20days? I sure hope for a much faster response. One blade down out of 6 so far (after about 58-60days).

0515 here...French press time...and blocks to book. Good way to start a Thursday.

EDIT: I hear ya, Phil. Seeing a viable option out of Canaan (I'm not even remotely aware of anyone else who could come up with a competitive ASIC right now) is the only focus, unless you're into alt stuff. I'm not...though even if I would...I've got several mongo GPUs sitting around...but don't have amps to run them anyway in addition to the two A6s (well, one A6 and three old S3s...the one A6 is still down).

More coffee.

been away from forum for a long time, but so nice to see the pool is healthy and finds alot of blocks. my old 25th farm has done well and i finally got 10btc in my wallet. i need a new goal to achive 

keep up the good work

I tossed a fourth blade yesterday.

So I am still waiting for a replacement for the blade I sent in to bitmainwarranty on OCT 4th they acknowledge receipt on Oct 6th.

That blade is out of warranty and I was willing to pay to repair it.

The blade I tossed is out of warranty.  So how do I send it in when it is 21 days on the last blade.

So I am down 2 blades .

While this is off topic the s9 is the only viable miner at this moment.

So I will mine with the solar array we are now using 18 amps.  we have  72 amps available.
Options are add more (blank coin) gpus.  or hold my 20+ coins  and wait for a new company to add miners.

So far the holding is not painful  as we are near 700 usd.

And  so far BTC has hung in the game as the leader  coin despite Bitmaintech's  s9 monopoly.

I am hoping for coins to soon go to 800 usd.  my 20btc  will be over  16k  which is better then mining.

Same here.  What an great start!

Woke up to 3 blocks in the basket this morning - how nice is that?! 

We have almost got rid of the red color in stats again  
Nice!

block! by divomen2 with 55THs. Thanks!

October ... well ... maybe August?

October was an early run of very good luck until the 12th (40 block 115% luck)
It went down hill after that for the next 9 blocks (to 49 blocks 93% luck)
But fortunately undid all that and more (as you can see now) ... so far ...

I guess the thing to remember is that luck changes every block, so unless you think there's actually something wrong with the pool, changing pools wont change your expected luck, since luck isn't affected by what came before ... (again, unless there's a problem with the pool)

I will, however, add a comment I've made before that people should of course know:
Luck doesn't correct itself by design, only by accident.
You always expect even luck, never more or less, and over time that means bad (or good) luck converges to even luck.
The fact that we so often (but not always) correct bad luck streaks quickly with good luck, isn't what is expected, it's simply 'good luck' to do that

Edit: actually September is worth looking at to see how fickle luck can be
Up until before the 715% block, the luck for September was: 105 blocks 102% luck - so ahead of the game.
That one 715% block of course dragged that down to 96.6% luck for 106 blocks
The rest of the month, 4 blocks, 100.1% luck made it only trickle a little closer to 100% - month total 110 blocks 96.73%
But really, considering there was our largest diff% block of ALL TIME in September, we still managed 96.73% luck - and 98.67% PPS - better than any PPS Pool that has a fee of 1.5% or more ...

After the low luck in October I got an affair with Slush and missed out on all the green block... Will humbly bring the miner back tomorrow ready for Block Friday   

We are hoping and praying every day for a new manufacture to step in and offer a viable alternative to the current monopoly.

thanks for your insights organofcorti - while I agree with your comments on market leadership and potential market opportunnities, I would like to take the approach of "men doesn't live on bread alone" on the more noteworthy alt coins of late.

And many thanks to you too kind sir, for being a stand up citizen of Kano CKPool and putting the good of the pool ahead of yourself.  Now c'mon back...you also belong here my friend.

Mining luck is never off topic on this board, and it's not a small topic. In fact (as long term miners will tell you) it's a bit of a hobby horse for me, dating back to the 2011 (unfounded) accusations of malfeasance against BTC Guild after a period of bad luck on that pool. I've written a little introduction to mining luck here: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2015/07/faq-bitcoin-mining-and-luck-statistic.html

As for your actual (and offtopic) question, my opinion (and it's just that) is that rather than miners moving to altcoins, a market leader in btc mining equipment that creates a poor product and provides no recompense to customers is likely to provide fertile soil for the entry of a new manufacturer of btc mining equipment.

Hi Kano,
Thanks for expanding the BDR explanation.

I know my own BDR is OK in kano pool.

However the S9 BDR seems to suggest otherwise - with your new data, it looks like S9 BDR overall is improving.

Since Juvia farm is 100% S9s and over 1PH, it will be easy to point fingers to Juvia if the above BDR or any other "luck" analysis stacks poorly against S9s - thats was my main concern and reason for taking the graceful way out...

Hi Phillipma, organofcorti & others,
I cannot afford to do any 5-days tests as suggested because my investors wants Juvia at full speed mining especially when BTC is trending up. As long as I have assurance from kano that S9s are still "behaving and within luck parameters", the tests are not needed ...

Offtopic - my question to "organofcorti"...
Its not always, I see pioneer members like "organofcorti" commenting on a "small topic" like this one on "S9 bad luck" ; I would like his comment and long term outlook, on the lack of mining equipment and monopoly of a single vendor in this industry. Recently, my investors and I, frustrated with Bitmain and sub-par S9s, we forgo buying more S9s, and invested in more GPU rigs for ETH and ZEC mining. I forsee that this is going be a key sanity check for miners in general. What is your opinion?

Thanks

Be nice to see us confirm our own block. The network is at 20 mins now.

Nice green lawn all over the place again)))   Accepting variance in both its forms is Buddhism v2.0.  

Woohoo! Gotta love those back-to-back blocks!
