How does one know or find out when it is a good time to consolidate transactions?

I've heard others say they can control their cost by having an option or something?

I've been using Exodus wallet and it is a flat fee no matter what -- with no options or control.

Just looking to do one of 2 things, figure out when the best times to consolidate are (via a program or app)?? or get a new wallet of some kind that gives you those options.

Any help or direction in either scenario would be greatly appreciated.

... using a full core wallet will allow you to enable coin control and also select the fee.
Coin control lets you choose the actual transaction inputs so e.g. if you wanted to, you can consolidate just the pool payouts into one address.

- well to be correct you can up to 0.14.2 but I've not gone near their wallet code since that - the wallets (at home - mine and the pool) are both 0.14.2
All the mining is 0.16.0 but there's no wallets anywhere online with the pool.

However, I'd not suggest you run any wallet on a windows computer - only on a linux computer.

does anyone have a defected board they do not want? Just want to remove the PCIe connectors and replace them on a working board.
Couldn't find those female PCIe connectors online.

appreciate it.
thanks.

If you mean the hash board power connectors, those are male (pins) - not female (sockets). Made by Molex and I believe are their Mini-fit series. PM Lightfoot for hard info as he repairs boards all the time.

thanks.
found it online at Molex website. guess it is this
https://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=megafit_power_connectors&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction&parentKey=power_connectors

Close but no cigar. Look for the next size down in the family. The ones you want are good for either 5 or 8a per-circuit - not 23a.

edit: These are the ones https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0455580003_PCB_HEADERS.xml
DigiKey, Mouser, Allied. etc should carry them. If possible get the ones with either silver or gold plating to handle max current.

I'm seeing something strange...60% of my miners are down according to the Workers page, Shift Graph, and the Shifts page but when I look at the miners work is still being accepted just like normal??

My first pool is the stratum on all my miners and I just rebooted a couple. Everything is showing as alive and the rebooted machines are getting work and work is being accepted just like normal but they are still showing down on kano.is.

Mine did the same thing. About 25 miners. After a reboot all showed as mining on the miner and in awesome miner, but not on Kano.is. After a few hours, I pm'd Kano and he suggested a reboot. I tried it again and it worked. So you might just wanna try it a second time, or have Toomim do a cold boot.

I rebooted all miners last might and did not work... Rebooted server and the hub/switch and seemed to fix it... Something really weird must have caused this cause several people are commenting on same thing...

anyway all good and back to mining with KANO!

Looks to be correct...

Name: stratum.kano.is
Address 1: 18.236.82.84 ec2-18-236-82-84.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Address 2: 18.236.199.209 ec2-18-236-199-209.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Address 3: 54.214.217.240 ec2-54-214-217-240.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Except for stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.82.84

Yeah the order doesn't matter - it changes each time you do a lookup.
That's how stratum.kano.is distributes the users over 3 servers - coz the answer will be somewhat random.

Toomim is looking into it now...

Well check your DNS isn't being MitM hacked then I guess? (i.e. make sure all the IPs are correct)

Code:

# host stratum.kano.is
stratum.kano.is has address 54.214.217.240
stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.82.84
stratum.kano.is has address 18.236.199.209
# host nya.kano.is
nya.kano.is has address 104.207.132.42
# host uk.kano.is
uk.kano.is is an alias for uk1.kano.is.
uk1.kano.is has address 35.178.130.164
# host de.kano.is
de.kano.is is an alias for de1.kano.is.
de1.kano.is has address 18.197.51.199
# host jp.kano.is
jp.kano.is has address 107.191.60.255
# host sg.kano.is
sg.kano.is has address 52.221.231.107

Also of course check what IP it's actually talking to.

issues with miners connection as well...

8 miners... 3 of them say offline thru website and not mining..

I rebooted all 3... still not showing as mining..

Awesome miner shows them as active and mining with no problem...

any idea whats going on? These S9 miners have been active for several months ...

All others s9 miners seem fine...

Thoughts?

At a guess - a DNS problem.

DNS servers often disobey DNS settings.

If google is still having problems then that could be the cause.
If not, then check whatever DNS server your miner is connecting to and see if it is OK.

On linux to check ANY DNS server you type:

dig @server.ip stratum.kano.is

e.g. dig @8.8.8.8 stratum.kano.is

I had a similar problem after all the dns shenanigans.. 4 machines from one farm were showing as down on the workers list, but the machines themselves showed they were still connected and mining, a quick reboot and they showed up on the workers list again.

13 machines were affected altogether, all S9/T9's different geographic locations, and in all cases there were other identical machines that weren't affected in the same locations.. what fun!

I don't use cloudflare - all web access is direct to the web server.

As I mentioned on discord, there has been a (very slow) botnet doing password guessing for the last few hours - but each bot's IP gets banned VERY quickly.
So unless your IP has a virus and is trying to guess passwords - I doubt that's the problem either.
...

Regarding this ...
A lot of the IP addresses of the infected computers trying passwords are owned by Avast - i.e. the actual IP address of the computers are Avast IP addresses, so that would be computers in the Avast offices in Prague, Miami, Seattle and London.
If you use their antivirus software, I might suggest you change

I've permanently blocked some of their subnets completely.

One of the 3 nodes for stratum.kano.is crashed and restarted at 2:53 UTC

Any miners on the specific node that restarted will have failed over - though it restarted immediately.
(It's random which of the 3 nodes you end up on)

Of course the usual 5 minute sit around and wait for no reason cgminer delay will mean a failover to your 2nd pool and the buggy failover code may mean failing over to your 3rd pool.

All users on that node should have failed back by now.

I think Cloudflare had an issue, no bitcointalk, tried bitmain, and Kano.

They're all back now.

I don't use cloudflare - all web access is direct to the web server.

As I mentioned on discord, there has been a (very slow) botnet doing password guessing for the last few hours - but each bot's IP gets banned VERY quickly.
So unless your IP has a virus and is trying to guess passwords - I doubt that's the problem either.

There was a 10-15 PH drop in mining (no specific large user) for quite a few hours earlier today, then it came back for 2 hours then jumped up and down again for an hour - but seems to be back again now.
So there may be some general internet connectivity problems somewhere that's affecting miners.

The mining servers haven't been showing any obvious drops in SPS other than the DE server (but not a drop to zero - just lower)

Interesting, it looked like some kind of DNS issue as I was getting name resolution errors, (I use Google's DNS servers)but only for specific websites. Weird. Looked at my miner's hashrate and they never had issues. Odd indeed.

Well if the google DNS servers themselves had issues then that would probably affect many people - since 8.8.8.8 etc is commonly used by many (myself included for unrelated stuff) and in the miners also.

Not sure if google would mention it themselves though ... googling shows nothing Cheesy
