Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 166. (Read 5352229 times)

S7s are barely worth running today unless you have free power (which few actually do - SOMEBODY is paying for that power!).  I hate to say it but (5) S3s is wha? ~2.5TH? - you could save power by replacing those with a single S9 and be running 5+ times faster.

My shop is three miles away. Can't afford the Cat-6 to get there and the local authorities might have a problem with it on the sidewalk.

Guys I just did some math while waiting for a pie to bake...ya ya ya I know,  I'm no mathmetician,  I'm not smart enough to do a wire xfer remember?  Seems 73% of the pool's hashrate is the top ten miners.  there's 1075 users currently active, and that number is WAY down from when I started mining here.  Not complaining, but looking at it from the angle that this is hardly a decentralized effort.  I know that attracting the whales is a key step for this pool to move forward, and for all I know that 73% number might look very decentralized compared to our competition, but it seems we are losing the little guy in droves!  How to keep the small timer's around I wonder?  And attract more?   I came here from slush and have not regretted that decision at all, but, I am starting to see my opinion shift into the minority!  

Do the opposite run a long run of ethernet, it will probably be more reliable than your WIFI anyways. That's what I did to my garage where it was already wired for 220

Don't have 220-240 at home. I have it in my shop for my welders but Wifi issues preclude my setting them there yet. with some shenanigans I can pull 220 in here but I gotta watch for management in this Senior Park.....They'll have a cow if the find out what I'm doing.

it's not that, It'sa LARGE travel Trailer with 30 amp service my electric is included but my service won't handle all 5 running at once. Even if I vent it I still gotta run my AC.  Building some dryer vents to vent the hot. Gotta shut down 3-4 during the day depending on how hot it is. Winter comes I'll be golden as I'll vent them indoors. Also working on moving a few to a storage/shop I got but got WiFi issues there. Looking at stepping up for a bigger hash rate miner but money is still an issue and the lower BTC goes makes it more of an issue. My ROI on these S3s is a year but it's still not much money, just gonna take a while to get there.

Do you have a dryer outlet available???

Here's what I did...

Amen and amen!

My Avalon6 is about 2x the dust threshold these days.

I understand about how he has a lot on his plate. AND I understand how he has a responsibility to the bigger miners. I'm a noob to mining and here so it's difficult to conceive of the numbers some of the bigger miners are mining. Alls I can say is there are some of us new to this without resources to go into big time (I have 5 S3s and not enough power to run them all at once) yet that would be incentivized by even a small reward for my (our) efforts? The dust minimum is what it is and I've got power (and money) issues to get there. Not lookin for a lot.....just some small gratification.

I have PM'd Kano, with an idea I have to get some funding for paid promotion. My idea, excludes using the dust as a means
of funding. Although, that is a Helpful idea, not everyone is going to want to give their money away. That would probably
take alot of time away from Kano, finding who is who, and sending or not sending individually, then having to exchange the
BTC into fiat, as most promoting online doesn't except it......yet!!! Ha!!! 

Kano is taking care of the Dust, as he has stated before. Hopefully, he is able to get some sort of free time, with everything he has
on his plate.

In other news:

Let's Crack this BTClock!!!

Also, the line in the dust (sorry, couldn't resist) is somewhere around an S7 or V9 mining - hardly "big boys".  Unless my info is dated, a single S9 should be fine.

Don't worry. Kano will not go for that. He treats it as self-banking, so no one else will ever get access to your account proceeds.

Do I read that as: If you can't mine with the Big Boys we keep and use your "dust"?

yup I get it. Not complainin just a question. You got responsibilities to keep all this running.

FYI this is not a democracy. What if "50% or more" wanted your block payouts?

Be cautious folks... this guy is asking for 30 coupons and has a bit of an attitude when asked basic questions like if they have enough power and cooling to support that many S9s.

Kano do please make a poll to survey if majority thinks we should use dust for marketing purposes. And if we get 50% or more votes, it will save you the trouble of dealing with dust payments and we will eventually get more hash power. That way we can kill 2 birds with one stone.

Settling dust payments are very difficult as I found out my researches.

This would be very, very helpful. I've personally put back into the pool, with quite a few of my payouts. However, FB is not as
welcoming to Bitcoin, and it's Community, as Twitter and Instagram are. Which is odd, because Instagram is owned and
operated by Zuckerberg's Corporation. I've looked into Post Promotion on both, and there is no Flat fee per say. It starts with
a fee, and then it's like $0.05 a post click. My average posts get any where from 1 to 150 easily in 24 hrs, and some near 1000
in a week. Which would be $50 for a week, but my posts are not on "promotion", so that number could easily escalate, if they
were. Pooled together the cost would be much less individually. However, I'd like Kano's input on this, before finalizing the posts.

The hardest part collectively, is finding the right audience, and in particular, large mining farm operators. Hope is not lost though.
Even though it's a BIG world, the actual Bitcoin Mining Community, is rather small in comparison. With that said, "word of mouth"
is actually the Greatest Tool we have for Promoting Kano's Pool. In example: A friend of a friend is into mining, and looking for a
place to mine. This is where Social Media comes in handy.

I've said it a bunch of times: If everyone who is active on these Social Media platforms, would take literally 1 minute out of their
day to share a post, or make a post, it would seriously help out. I completely understand that, the OG's here, loathe the idea of
Social Media, and I'm fine with that. If they want to, we have signature banners, and they can help spread the word here at the forum.
The general idea is familiarizing people with the name Kano Pool, and information about the Pool itself. Pretty simple really.

As always, I am open to suggestions and ideas. Any input is welcomed, as we are collectively working together as a team, towards
the very same goal: Kano Pool, The BTCest BTCitcoin Mining Pool in the World!!! 

Sent you a PM.

If anyone else has the larger coupons for sale please PM me, I'd like to move my M3s out and replace them with S9is
