I want to ask something not directly related to the pool but I believe it can be answered.
From experience, do you guys recommend purchasing spare power supply for he antminers?
thanks.

Thanks everyone. Just playing the waiting game now. Just installed 16kw of solar this year and these servers are making it worth it. Do you guys know anywhere to buy more servers now without paying the crazy prices on eBay.. I'm mining with S9s right now curious on other good options.

Save up your BTC and purchase them directly with BTC from Bitmain or Avalon's. Currently around .4 and change for the Bitmain's.

Not that much I have about 30THs. Been watching the block % under my workers. It's seemed to freeze for pass 5 hours. Shares are still getting accepted like crazy though??
...
Yeah the block % is your % of the shares submitted in the current block we're trying to win.
Everyone is submitting shares as well, so at some point your % will approach a limit.
The number itself is not really all that useful unless you've been mining for 5Nd (about 2.8 days)
However, if you've been mining since the last block we found, it wont change much unless the pool hash rate changes more noticeably.

PPLNS is all about random stats, so nothing will give you an exact value for anything, but rather "somewhere around X"
The pool hash rate changes around a bit also, so if it is lower during the last 5Nd when we find a block, your reward will be higher, but we'll expect to find fewer blocks.
Conversely, if the pool hash rate is higher, your reward per block will be lower, but of course we'll expect to find more blocks.

You'll get there. It takes a little time to ramp up but worth it.

It feels like forever the first blocks! Now I've been through this a couple of times, each new miner I've pointed to kano had a 30+ hour wait before second block so I think it's evil. However it equals out when payments start getting high and equilibrium when they come fast too.

Hey guys just switched over to Kano, been doing a lot of reading and found that Antpool was racking me over the coals. I was getting about $40 payouts per day there. How often does Kano Payout or when can expect my first payout.. Just received a couple little ones but can't quite wrap my head around the PPLNS. Sorry I'm a complete newb here

How much TH you got?  Here you will need to keep mining for a few days until you reach the 5Nd, only then you will start getting payed for the full potential of your total TH. Go to the workers tab then click shift graph there you will see the 5Nd field marked in red and you will see a tiny horizontal red line on the right side of which it says AV.  That's your average TH that you get payed for when the next block is found.

Just wait for a few days to reach your max average hashing power, that is all.  Then Master Kano will start sending you nice and fat amounts of btc, as soon as the block confirms and (usually but sometimes faster) when the next block is found.  So ho much TH you said you have?

Hi,

Been with Kano since about May and love the forum chatter.

I have an S9 and one of the hash boards has gone west. It still powers on but fails to hash. The other two boards are fine.

Bitmain Hong Kong say send the full miner back and they will repair it. I live in the UK so that will be expensive, plus I lose the hash power of the remaining boards. I contacted Bitmain Warranty Colorado,USA. They say send the board they will repair for between $90 and $300 depending on the problem, and give a (massive  Undecided ) 30 day warranty!

Does anyone have any experience with this outfit?

Thanks,

G.

I've had 3 S9's which broke during the warranty period, out of 8 that I bought and I had to send them back to China and pay like $80 for each shipment by EMS (that was the cheapest option in my region) DHL and UPS wanted like $160!!!  And then I had to wait for a couple of weeks for them just to confirm that they have received the packages after they were delivered.  Then I had to wait another month or so to get them back!  

So if you live in the U.S then I think the Colorado is your best option. I don't think that they'll charge you $300 for the repair as long if the whole board isn't Fried.  Besides you won't be left with no hash at all for a few months. And the hash that your 2 working boards put out will make up for the money payed for the repair of the third in less than a month. Smiley

I just lost another unit 3 days ago because another control board went out and just ordered 3 more control boards from China, couple for replacing and one to keep just in case. The control boards seem like the weakest part in my miners, I think they burn out when the electricity gets shot of and on too often.  It is the 3rd time I'll be replacing one on my miners. Sad

Good luck repairing your unit!  Wink

Carl, aka Sonny :)
I am out in the country for a couple of days so my internet access is really slow.  Sad

It has been great getting the iPhone app notifications on 4 blocks! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Looks like we're getting really good luck here while you're away Carl!  Grin.
Try to stay away as long as possible!  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Haha, if it works I agree Smiley
Heh - and here I thought the cause was that I'm in Tokyo Cheesy Cheesy

Well since Carl and I seem to do the 2 main shifts reporting blocks quickly, anyone else who sees a block now has a good chance to post first Smiley

I mentioned a little while ago about being in Tokyo and Beijing soon - well that's now.
No one on the forum responded about being here though - oh well.
If anyone is in Tokyo or Beijing over the next 10 days let me know and I'd certainly be happy to meet up and have a sit down meal and a chat.
Yes I'll pay for anyone who's been mining on the pool if that incentive helps in any way Smiley
(that's always the plan if I do ever get to meet any miners)

Yea, I'm still out in the farmlands of central Virginia helping my brother by keeping his construction company going while he is recovering from shoulder surgery.  I'm not used to working this hard! Grin

Everyone keep taking up the slack while I'm away and we will continue to do well here! Cheesy

So, if I understand this correctly: if I transfer my BTC's from my Kano destination wallet X to another wallet Y, and I use wallet Y to spend to BTC, I no longer have the "large amount of small transaction Satoshi's generating huge fees" issue?

It is the sending wallet that puts this all together.  By using an exchange as the first wallet, they consolidate for you and generally charge a fixed fee rather than a per transaction type fee.

That is very good to know! Which is the best exchange to use for this?

Well the original reason was the BitKan summit in Beijing - but it seems BitKan's BTC intelligence is pretty low level Tongue
Due to ICO scams being rampant (yeah since they started ... like every altcoin) the Chinese Govt has now cracked down on them.
BitKan must be dabbling in ICO scams as well as Bitcoin, coz they considered that: 'Govt force majeur' and moved the 'Bitcoin' conference to Hong Kong - 2 weeks later ... but decided that only 6 days before the conference ... ... ...

But yeah part of that for me is to also meet with Canaan which I will do tomorrow
(and Bitmain possibly while I'm there - but I'm not sure they'd want to meet me Cheesy )

Correct.  Remember that the block chain is a giant accounting ledger.  When you collect a bunch of small entries to create a larger one, it takes more space.  The transaction fee is based on how much space it takes.

If you have one large input entry, you usually get two output entries (one to your destination, one with change back to you).  That is about as cheap as it gets.

If you have 28 small input entries, and then the two output (unless you have no change at all, then you have one output), you end up with 10 times the number of transactions and subsequently 10 times the fee.

It is the sending wallet that puts this all together.  By using an exchange as the first wallet, they consolidate for you and generally charge a fixed fee rather than a per transaction type fee.
