Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1626. (Read 5352322 times)

I know the feeling.  I was supposed to sell my 4xSP20s while upgrading to Avalon6s.  Instead I just found myself moving them out the the garage as I was moving my miners from their winter to summer location.  They are still profiting about BTC0.23/mo 14 months after I got them.  They are probably more profitable sold than held onto at this point, but now I'm getting these visions of solo mining on them until halving......

Wishful thinking.  Sound advice: sell first then buy!

Can we get a few blocks?  Game time almost over. 

I bought Gold rated PSUs for each of my S7s from Toomim for $80 each and they have been working great.  They have Platinum rated PSUs for $120 as well which can save you $4 a month per S7 but I didn't try those.  I did check with Oregon Mines and they normally allow you to pay month to month.  They are also a little cheaper than Toomim bit I don't have any personal experience with them.

The interesting thing about bitcoin mining is everything we do is super risky, from buying hardware with 90 day warranties to having faith in BTC itself.  I just took a risk, sold all the hardware I had in my garage (to make sure I would never be tempted to power things back up one day), used the money I got to upgrade to S7s and had them shipped directly from Bitmain to Toomim (my first 4 were Batch 1 that were wayyyy overpriced).  I was scared to death that I had done the wrong thing but now I am only 24 days away from my break even point in all this stuff.  I literally have -$834.95 left in my spreadsheet to make up and it turns from red to black.  What will happen this summer?  Who knows...it will either work out roses for all of us, go right down the crapper, or fall somewhere in the middle.  That's how we roll everyday!

I hope everything works out and we keep the kano party going!

EDIT:  The great thing is I can connect directly to my miners!  https://i.imgur.com/ujQokM4.jpg  This is one of my Batch 1s with fans at 35%...

my only issue is the rising diff and the 1/2ing. would hate to send the units off just for only a few months just to have to get them shipped back and sell them or scrap them. and cost wise it is better to do a year at a time, but then again that's a large chunk of change to plop down at once.

might stick it out till new hardware is released if there is any and then get those hosted.

do you have to send psu to them (toomin) as well or just the unit and they supply the psu? not sure how they do it since power is metered.

  I try to keep up with these...

It's good advice but shipping my miners is going to be a killer and I'd still like to be able to physically access them... It's probably not that important as long as I can monitor them remotely...

I'm still thinking, I think there's a thread listing hosting company for miners somewhere

For some people it could mean the difference between continuing to support the kano pool or shutting down unless they can find a good hosting site.  Keep in mind when you are searching for a host site it does not have to be in the same region or even the same country you are in.  I'm in the US but the first data center that hosted my miners was in China!

I currently have a bunch of S7s at Toomim Brothers (http://toom.im/) and I could not be happier with them.  Jonathan and his brother are quick to act, knowledgeable, conscientious, and are great communicators.  (think USA versions of kano and -ck  )

I know we have some here that host at Oregon Mines (https://www.oregonmines.com/) and I hear that SideHack is full right now.  I have the last of my S5s in a data center in Sweden (not recommended).

The cheapest place I know of is Great North Data (http://www.greatnorthdata.com/).  I seriously tried to send a bunch of S5s to them but at the last second they decided that they would only take a new client if they had at least 30KW of hardware.  My S5s at the time were only 10KW worth.  I have not heard if they still have this policy or not.

I'm starting to think about it too, but it's kinda difficult finding someone to host miners in France.

On the other hand, I know a couple of people working for the national power company and they get a 90% reduction on their electricity bill.

Now I just have find a nice 19" rack and convince one of them to make some space in their garage

I know its OT, but toomim bros and sidehack have good reputations for hosting.

so ya I think Im definitely going to start looking at getting my miners hosted somewhere. my ac crapped out last night and is only blowing ambient temps the house is pretty toasty right now.

gotta find a couple more blocks today so I can pay to fix my ac.

no  5nd = 500%

 so we are over 3 or 4 times  since we started


basically  500% blocks suck but they happen

looks to me like the smaller time of the 5Nd means that we lost a few shifts,

Is this the first time that the 5Nd hasn't covered the time the block took to find?

It's great when you do a surge like that and get those extra payouts for it...

what is nice is I did a decent size rental last night and both blocks hit before that rental dropped off the 5n.  I also bump rental back up this morning just in time to catch the  two blocks

so if you guys could get a boom boom boom  just about now those rentals will have been perfect.

I like that.

That was like a Giant Hangover after the party.  Now that we're back to normal.........................let's drink again and roll in more Blocks for Super Saturday!

this last block should fade out some of that blood red

Just a drop of


And the machine is rock'n'rolling again !

And another block by kmstudio!  The milk and honey is flowing again!

Woohoo!  Block!
