Again the most misunderstood point about PPLNS

The ramp is simply spreading out the reward for your shares over the 5Nd after each share is submitted.
The "Time" of the ramp is not a factor in any of the calculations, the ramp is simply 5Nd worth of shares.

How "Long" 5Nd takes depends on the pool hash rate - which at the moment is around 14 days ... ish.
Bit if the pool hash rate increases, the 5Nd time decreases, and conversely, if the pool hash decreases, then the 5Nd time increases.
None of that affects your expected reward.

A short 5Nd ramp up/down means you will be faster to full hash rate but also faster to get down to zero hash rate.
The total you are rewarded is still expected to be the same for the same amount of work you do.

However, assuming the pool hash rate stays at what it currently is - around 24PHs - then the amount of time you ramp down will equal the amount of time it will take you to ramp back up.
That partial ramp down only gets to zero if you ramp down for 5Nd or more (i.e. 500%)
If you ramp down only 1/5 - 1Nd or 100% diff of pool shares - then you'll ramp back up in the same 1/5 - 1Nd 100% diff of pool shares after that - but the times wont be exactly the same - but the expected result is the same.

Another way to look at it would be to say that if you didn't mine for 1 day, your total lost rewards would be expected to end up being the equivalent of 1 day's mining, but the lost rewards would be spread out over the 5Nd from the start of the time you stopped mining until 5Nd after you started mining again
i.e. you get rewarded during the down and back up ramp, but in total yaw expected to lose 1 day of rewards due to not mining for 1 day.

Just needs another five or so hours to fully ramp back up (and probably not even that long).  If you're fully in right now, you could potentially not mine here for just over two weeks, and get paid from any blocks found.  I wouldn't worry about those five hours if you were fully in already, will mean very little in the overall scheme of things (and even if it did, you'd just ramp back up to full while you were sleeping anyway).

A bottle of ketchup was sacrificed, for the good or the order, and for the next block. 

Well that all died with the S5
I was gonna do the S5, then worked out that the work queue issues were not in the fake USB<->SPI kernel driver but inside the FPGA that controlled the miner, so it all became a complete waste of time.
They ignored everything else I'd done with the S1/S2/S3 already anyway ...

... and sending me a replacement board for the dead half of my S5 was too expensive for Bitmain also
Lulz they make hundreds of million a year (now) and a single S5 board (back then long after the S5 was released) was too much

Then I was supposedly gonna be sent an S7 but that didn't happen either ... so I gave up at that point.

The opensource project that another butmain employee tried to get going also got NO backing from bitmain at all.
Yeah bitmain definitely has not been the best thing that happened to Bitcoin

But ... Bitcoin should be free to progress as everyone chooses, not to be controlled by morons (core) saying what Bitcoin MUST be. Anyone who wants centralised control, go elsewhere thank you very much ...

The fuse would trip but I think the worry is that enough current might pass through before it trips. I could be wrong. I used a whole home surge protector on my panel, for the 150 bucks plus another 30 for a breaker, everything on the panel is protected.

If my miner goes offline for any reason (in the recent example offline for 5 hours due to failed surge protector).

Is there a ramp backup delay to get back to full force? I believe I read a new miner takes 7 ish days.

On a related note I have a S9 powered by a EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 80+ PLATINUM. Do I need to run a surge protect between it the power supply and the wall outlet? Shouldn't the fuse in the fuse box just trip if there is a surge?

One of my rare OT's: @ kano, what do you think of the chances for someone (tekcomm in this case) cracking/writing a new s9 driver with zero input from Bitmain as to how the chips even communicate? re the reboot of the s9 bounty with the goal of it being fully GPL compliant?

kano's DA MAN!  Never forget the 'k' in the OG ckpool software is k for kano, not k for... well, we know who.  Anyway, mine on! 

Yeah I just added to the book - main parts (other than specific drivers I did) being I wrote the API (and all the php stuff) and designed/implemented the USB upgrade to cgminer

Well to give complete credit where due, Kano and one other prominent miner software guru here who shall remain un-named in this thread to keep the peace wrote the book.

And how much does Canaan love this pool? Well, when setting up your pool preferences take note that one of the pull down choices is here

Yes indeed, all payouts above dust have been sent and confirmed for all blocks found.
(of course including up to 496018)
It easiest to just check your own addresses to see them.
Go to blocktrail and enter your addresses.

Ha that's awesome. be nice if they'd ship my miner out that said it was shipped but never has

You're mining on kano, and you don't know what canaan is...no worries.

Canaan Creative is the Avalon miner mfr. They run on this pool partly because Kano wrote the book on their miners; what you see is their farm, and/or (I assume in this instance) their new product burn-in batches.

That's all. Nothing to see here... 

Dust is <0.0001 BTC so you're fine there.  To what address are you sending the mining rewards?

Not sure what canaan is, but the user count is coming back somewhat.  Our low number of users was 900 on 11/17 and our high today was 1017.  In case anyone is interested, here are the November Kano Pool User and Hash stats (started gathering late on Nov 2).  BTW, I think the anomaly on the 17th is a server restart so I probably need to throw those out eventually...  I could have swore that our 200PH was in November, but either my averaging code is messed up or it was in October.

Hello experts, my poor little miners downstairs seemed to have mined a small amount of BTC, but they are not showing up in my wallet.  Is the payout too low for a a deposit?  Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Yup. 

Hasn't come back, this is the regular canaan ebb and flow on their own hash rate.  We've been pretty solid around 20,000 TH.

Hash rate always comes back when we hit lots of blocks in their absence. It's the very nature and mentality of pool hopping.

nice to see hash rate coming back
