Kano, do you know python scripting?  :-)

I'm working on a raspberry pi to do various things with my cooling of the s9's. Like monitor inlet air temp from outside, and mix with warmer air either re-circulated or from within the building, by the use of a servo motor to adjust the position of a flap, to maintain a constant inlet temp.  I found if you put in way too cold of air the antminers actually use more power.

The system will monitor each outlet air temp of the antminers with DS1820B sensors, 1 wire technology, and will adjust the external fan system to either go faster or slower in increments.  The system will also be used in the winter to heat the bulding they are in, by diverting the hot exhaust air to the inside, but then move a servo to close the door to put air outside.  Idealy, just to make it fun for programing, to actually calculate how often the "heat the building" is used and actually position the servo motor accordingly so that the heat loss is replaced as its being lost.  Fancy algorithm here required :-)

Would also like it to monitor humidity, and possible water entry into inlet, by rain etc, so that there can be an alert sent, or even divert the intake to the interior of the building if there sense a problem.

I am sure, as I start doing this I can come up with more neat ideas...

So yeah, I was just wondering, are you free this weekend? :-)

p.s I LITERALLY have no experience programming.  thought I would throw that in there now that I got your interest! haha.  Took my 5 hours just to get some script i copied off the internet to read the temp on 1 sensor ( that was the easy part) then to send the email alert if it got too hot.  Off to a good start!  I can enable SSH access to the pi3 if you want to start on it tonight? haha :-)

We can sell these things!

How can one pool get 7 out of 9 blocks in 37 minutes wow
I saw that too...  If we could only get 7 blocks a day!  I would ....  retire...

Our record is 11 in a day Smiley
Yes I  remember getting 6-8 blocks per day here 2016

Edit:

Did some math  115.8414 BTC awarded
12.5x7 = 87.5
115.8414-87.5 = 28.3414
28.3414 X 14500 US = 410950.30  THEY STOLE FROM THIER MINERS!  In  37 minutes!  Pricks!

Yes, it's a residential rate! When I e-mailed our electric company, I was shocked too. Honestly, the commercial rate isn't that terrible either. I have an outbuilding, thinking about running a new service down there in the spring time. It just depends where this goes. It's a hobby, but I enjoy the extra money. The coal burning power plants of Ohio provide cheap power!

Happy Mining! Where is that block?

Thanks Kano,  I was reading up on his pool, and It was so confusing, I gave up. I always thought there was something that didn't sit right, and there is that element of unknown that will drive people away.

At least when I came looking at your pool, the explanations made sense, I just had a hard time comprehending it, but I might be slow too.  I guess it came down to the words that were used.  I just started picturing it as a moving window in time ( 5nd being the bitcoin network difficulty x5 is the width of the 'time window' ) and what ever percentage of shares I contributed in there is what i get rewarded.

On that note, I like the line that shows the average hash rate for the entire graph of the Workers Shifts graph,  is there a way you can add and option to show the average has rate for just the 5nd segment with a blue line, and a check box to show or hide it?   This will probably help people understand what is going on in the ramp up and down time frame of that 5nd.  Not so much if their hash rate is constant and is always in the same spot.  It will also help if the user ads or removes has power to see the average in the 5nd to better see how it will affect their reward.
Just an idea.
Yes that change is possible though it's been way down on the todo list for a long time Smiley
Remind me again when I finally get this "blockchain transaction record" change onto the pool Wink

Kano,
     Talk to me about the SPLNS payment method and the pros and cons there. I was just reading your buddies pool info and it sounded intriguing although I am not convinced. Serious question. I googled it and there was no information.
Firstly it increases variance even more than by it being a tiny pool.

Your reward is based on the luck of the shares your miners find - which is something you have no control over.
Here the reward is based on the work you do, not the luck of each individual share you submit.
i.e. here it's fairly based on the work you do, not some other random calculation.

The luck element here is of course the basis of how PPLNS works - the luck of everyone on the pool finding a block.

The ramp up and down in his SPLNS is stated as not linear, so it would require an analysis by someone with a good statistical background to see if it has basic exploitable flaws in the function used.

The blockfinder on SPLNS loses his first block finder fee coz the pool code wont code in the block finder (see p2pool code how to do that - I guess it's beyond him Tongue)
Of course having a block finding fee also increases variance and makes the chance for little guys to take sizeable rewards from large miners.
Basically it's a pool for small miners - anyone with a large hash rate wouldn't go near it if they had any sense - thus being all small miners makes that pointless also Smiley

They keep going on about how the early miners get a better cut of the 5Nd until the pool has mined 5Nd.
Yes that's correct, if you join before they reach 5Nd you're paying the early miners some of your rewards and thus getting less yet again.

He also doesn't test his code and leaves that as a risk to miners and the general public.
That pool lost a whole block coz he didn't even try to put a proper test block through his code.
It's easy to test low diff blocks, change one line in ckpool and one line in bitcoin
(I even told him that last time he lost 2 blocks on his solo pool due to not testing code and ignoring someone pointing out the 1st block that was lost)
The current git (dated Nov-2017) for ckpool crashes every time if you start it in node mode ... yeah he doesn't test his code ... one would be a fool to go near a pool run by an arrogant prick who thinks he's gods gift to coding, and doesn't need to test his code properly, but has no computer training, and has clear cases of people losing out due to his arrogance.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the details and increasing my knowledge on the subject. This is and why I have been parked here.

I guess it depends where you live, but my 3 S7s and even my S7-LN are turning a nice profit. My electricity costs are .08/kw and then it goes down to .03/kw after the first 1000 kw are consumed. Looking forward to the next block to see what my total of 15 TH is going to bring. I know that's small time compared to some people, but we have to start somewhere!

Your electricity actually goes DOWN the more you use?  WOW, My S9's want to move there.  Mine is the same regardless of use, but its not 3 cents!  FYI, I was at 3.99 cents, plus then there is a transmission and some other fees that added about 2 cents per Kwh... so you should pay attention to that. Depending on how they bill it.  Ironically here commercial power is the same on the Regulated rate option and the transmission fee and distribution fees are just ever so slightly less than the residential ones.  The only higher fee is a Daily ?Access? fee that is about 50 cents a day more, so 15 dollars.  But you can recover that if you use a whole bunch of power.

I have a location I can use, and even can get Fiber internet, and will cost about 5000 Cnd to install new service and plugs to host about 40 antminers....  now that being said... how do i get my hands on 40 antminers? :-)

I just turn in into blockerplorer.com and got this message:
'
In August 2017, Bitcoin forked into two variants. These have taken radically different paths.
Looking at the situation one quarter later, it is clear to us that the Blockstream fork of bitcoin diverges so radically from the ideas presented in the Bitcoin white paper, that it is an evolutionary dead end. While it may still have high trading value, as a mere collectible of curiosity, the Blockstream fork of bitcoin is not part of building any future financial infrastructure, which is what Block Explorer is about.
A currency of the future has subcent optional usage fees and instant transactions. The Blockstream fork of Bitcoin ("Bitcoin Legacy") is at $20 usage fees and rising, with no end in sight, and can take days to confirm, despite unfulfilled promises to the contrary on both points when Segwit activated in what can only be described as a community fistfight. We are therefore making the decision to consider the Blockstream fork deprecated, and support it as legacy technology only.
Rather, we have made the decision to support the only bitcoin fork with a postive utility momentum, which is Bitcoin Cash. We took an early decision to deploy a Bitcoin Cash block explorer and will continue to roll out related services. We are also deploying tools for other cryptocurrencies we find on a positive momentum path, such as ZCash, which have increased privacy value.
We will not add future support for the Blockstream fork of bitcoin ("Bitcoin Legacy"), and will be deprecating it entirely at some future point in time to be determined. Developments have revealed it to be a dead end. At such a time, we will refer to Bitcoin Cash as Bitcoin only, but will make some effort to not break API calls by changing URLs of legacy automated systems.
'
So my question: Is it right, that Bitmain overtake this Domain?
If taht is correct, then i think that we, as miners for BTC must have a correct answer!




That is just Roger Ver and Bitmain trying to take over Bitcoin as "Bitcoin Cash".  It is not revealed to be a dead end, not by a long shot.

Hi, also a new member of kano pool. Maybe a noob question but i did not receive payment on block 503342. I did however receive block 503173 payment. Dunno if something went wrong or it's just need to give it more time.
Anyone receive payment?


You will get the payment when we find the next block.
