Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 2123. (Read 5352067 times)

72 hours and no blocks is making me sad   I bet after we finally get a block we hit 1-2 more with low CDF like always   It seems like it is a cycle on this pool at this point.

And another one ...... this can't be helping with our luck!

Sigh, and another 10min at 07:03 UTC
Waiting for a better answer from them than the last one .......

Just had a short network outage.
It was an upstream router for 60-90s
Many miners would have failed over.
It was all back ok not long later.
From around 06:1220 UTC for 1 or 2 minutes.

The 'nicehash bot' will let you top up, enter new orders, and basically keep going at whatever the rate is.
Check it out if you are serious about rentals.
I have been experimenting with westhash using the bot a little this week but in the past I have just added an order at 5TH (the lowest) at a mid-range value of say .0101 and it was on more than off. It seemed to me the weekends and during US 12: PM EST through 7 or 8:PM were the busiest and where you would be battling if you wanted to keep a miner up. 106 price range was pretty darn stable lately, but these prices are not making money, they were fun, learning tool, and I consider it just another part of the hobby and do not expect to make a mint at it, at least not right now anyway.

Yeah it does seem like my next experiment should be less hashrate for a longer-term, eh?  It looked to me like you could only place 24-hour long orders.  Am I missing where you can rent for longer?  Or do you just have to go in every day and "re-up" before the order ends, to keep it runnng for, say, a week?

Long or short has the same "expected" outcome.
Shorter means luck has "more" effect on the outcome.

with fixed price and limited ths they give you more  hashing power, imo to burn thru the coins  faster (sorry I am a bit of C.T.)or am i the only one that happens to

I rent hash off an on and due to the nature of PPLNS short burst of high speed don't seem that effective, I would say even worse now that the pool hashrate has dropped and payouts are based on N range of 116 hours where as before we were in the 60 hour range. I am still trying to figure out the best method.

However this time I rented 7 TH for 120 some odd hours on Friday and yesterday threw another 9 TH at it for only 50 some odd hours.

I haven't spread the rental out like this here before and am curious how it is going to pan out. As of our last block this is my earnings and AVG speed:

348800   24.84319262   233.65G   116hr 6m 23s   2.40PHs   0.19%   449.86M   4.62THs   0.04783268

There was some down time because I didn't do a fixed price. I am curious what others might have for input on this. I am not going to pretend like I know the ins and outs of this. Just my experience with trial and error. Honestly I regret selling off my S4's and renting now, even though it is for less than average expected pay and I have 0 power and maintenance concerns for the rentals.

Hi CK Poolers (poolies?)

I've been curious about renting hash power for a while now so I just rented 100TH for 24 hours for 1 BTC -- nice, round numbers! -- and pointed them all at ckpool.

Hi Kano and friends.

I periodically check to see if kano.is pool is working with my AMTube miner because I'd love to move over from another pool.

It's still not working without proxy. I know it's not high on the priority list but I wanted to just pass that along.

Server grade individual power supplies are the best way forward and cheaper to replace than a single mega buck SCR power supply, especially when one craters which is why server farms use them. Better to have a few miners go off-line than the whole farm from a power supply failure.

Wow, this is a real serious project. If you do not understand anything about electricity, or, understand what I have highlighted below please seek professional help as this is not an amateur undertaking.

I am assuming a lot here, so here is my two pence worth, if it sounds a little condescending, my apologies. Your household supply is not designed to carry this load, this is a fairly serious amount of electricity and it is highly unlikely your power provider would upgrade your incoming supply.

I am also assuming your incoming power supply is 230V line to neutral, and that you will be drawing the full current on your 80 power supplies: -

1. You will be using an industrial building for this venture; I hope and not a garage?
2. You will need a three phase balanced power supply to cope with the 348 amps current draw. If your pF goes lower than the manufacturer's power supply stated 0.97 pF then you will end up by paying more for your electricity. Power factor correction capacitors are expensive but would pay for themselves in time. Industrial power rates will also work out cheaper than any household power rates anyway.
3. You will need a large distribution board with a main breaker and lots of MCCB's to split the load into safer current levels along with conduit, cabling buttress boxes and power sockets.
4. I hope you are in a really cold climate, as this current draw is like having over 140 - 2 kW heaters running all of the time.
5. You will need to make sure there is adequate separation between each unit to avoid overheating nearby units and steel racking to house them on.
6. You will need large extractor fans to remove the heat from the building and fans to draw cool air into the building.
7. You will require a huge A/C cooling unit if you are in a warm climate and that is seriously expensive to run.
8. You will need an industrial fire suppression system  - remember the recent Thailand incident. You could possibly have someone monitoring the system 24/7, at a pinch with industrial fire extinguishers, but human error is something you need to factor out.

Good luck.
