First this is my first writing on this great forum. In advance please apologize my ignorance of the question. I just acquired S9 3 days ago and after reading here and there finally I hook my S9 to kano.is and this my first mining experience. Ive checked on dashboard but I don't understand if my setup is proper because I don't see anything on reward page. Can I ask help kano official looking at my setup if it registered and setup correctly?. Tq.
Welcome aboard! I'm relatively new here too, and I found right off the bat not to waste time mining anywhere else.
Thankfully, I have a friend who'd already been mining here for a while, so he gave me a heads up about the whole ramp-up process, which you can start trying to understand by reading the Help>Payouts link in the top right of the webpage.
If you're not a math major
, just get a visual aide from the Workers>Shift Graph, and take note of the red shaded area that highlights the past 5Nd period. You can tell how "ramped up" you are by seeing how much of that red shaded area you've been mining at full-capacity.
The cool part is: the faster we create new blocks, the more double, triple, etc. you'll be given credit for the shares submitted during that rolling 5Nd window.
Just be patient, and if you get stumped, feel free to ask a question here on the forum. This is a great group of folks that have more than willingly answered my questions along the way.
Mine on!
I've looked at payment and block status trying to learn. I see past few month quite blocks were found. Sometime every and sometime it took few days or even weeks. Last January the pool found 8 block, while this month, Feb, so far only 1 block was found. Please correct me if I'm wrong reading it. What still confuse me is 5Nd, does it mean 5 days continuously my S9 running?. I just want to figure maybe any average days when the block to be found. I feel myself so nubie on this mining world.
There is no way to predict when a block will be found, at average it's the current published difficulty in # of shares. That means with this pool size, it's approx, well, you just saw it 2+ days. But it could be before it or could be after - e.g. the last block took 2+ weeks and was almost 600% (6x the difficulty in shares).
5Nd is defined here
https://kano.is/index.php?k=payout. it is not 5 days, has nothing to do with days only the rates of the pool.
Bottom line,
a) we don't get paid until we find a block
b) you have a 13+ day ramp up period before any payout would be based upon 100% of your shares - this will move based upon what your average shares are (e.g. you add more hash power or remove it). It will also extend past the time you leave on the same principle.
c) you are not paid for any shares that might be greater than the 5N period (on in the case of the last block, most of us contributed almost a whole diff in shares that weren't counted)
d) you can be paid more or less for shares depending on how frequent the blocks are found (see the PPLNS description in the link above)
