Block by recline!

This is our 2nd of BLOCK WEDNESDAY!

Ignore BIP148 - it's simply an attempt by a bunch of users to take control of Bitcoin away from miners - mining is the design of Bitcoin and it will stay that way.

I'll sort it out within the next week.
I'll hopefully be able to put the new KDB code live tomorrow, so that will finally be out of the way.

Looks like I'll simply have to accept that Bitcoin mining majority is going to accept some form of SegWit - and make sure when it activates, the pool will work on any and all SegWits that happen to be blundering around ...

Pretty much every block now has the /NYA/ 'expression of interest' in it and NYA effectively means SegWit also.
Seems Core has managed to con/force everyone into accepting it, pretending it's a block size solution

Don't forget that if it activates, your 1xxx addresses will cost 4 times as much to use per byte than 3xxx addresses
(yeah they really like their dodgy P2SH addresses and are forcing everyone to risk all their BTC on those dodgy addresses)

Once I've got that all ready I'll post about the details and then switch over the main work generator to using whatever is necessary.

Hi kano. 1 August with BIP 148, do we have anything to worry about? Us miners in kano? I'm a bit stressed. I've read alot of OPINIONS, and I would rather want to know what you have to say.  Regards!

A transaction is simply distributed on the Bitcoin network.
Technically, that means it gets into the 'mempool' of Bitcoin nodes.
Any pool/miner can choose which transactions in their 'mempool' they put it in their 'block work', but until it is included in a confirmed block, it's effectively just in the 'mempool' of all the nodes that accepted it and any nodes they passed it on to.
After a period of time they may remove it from the mempool.

In our case, with the payout transaction, it's a zero fee transaction, so most pools/miners won't include it in their work, and many wont pass it on.

Ok, really newbie question. But I will rather look stupid once that stay stupid forever.
When a new transaction is generated it goes into a block and then eventually that block is confirmed by miners. How does a transaction get more than one confirmation? is the whole block re-sent to miners or is the transaction repackaged in another block? and when is the transaction no longer confirmed again?

Let's keep 'em coming

Emailed, thank you.

This is good start with our 1st of BLOCK MONDAY!

DE node dropped everyone mining on DE for a couple of minutes at 11:27 UTC
The connections all dropped to zero, so everyone on DE will have failed over.
Restarting the node software made everyone reconnect straight away - all good again.

Use the address that the pool emails you from.

(you get an email any time you change anything - e.g. when you setup your payout address)

The last block I mined and had a reward from was block 423717 a long time ago, I don't think I've ever received an email from the pool. I searched my email to be sure and didn't see any, so I changed my password so that the pool would email me and the message states:

"P.S. don't reply to this e-mail, no one will get the reply
There is a contact e-mail address (that changes often)
at https://www.kano.is/ or visit us on FreeNode IRC #kano.is"

but I cannot locate an email address anywhere on the site.  If you could direct me to its location there I will email you, thanks again.

I should have been more specific...my temps run 40/96 more or less constantly. It's when that second temp gets over 100 that it will begin cycling/reclocking...or at least so it seems.

This morning I had 1/3 running at 29C, and 2 at 30/31/32 and almost hit under 2900 RPM for all 3 of them.  Later things changed and RPM increased but CPU temperature remained the same.  I will get some help in a few days with testing out better venting out solutions. 

Well...I don't know where you're at...but I'm on Kaua'i Island in the western Hawaiian Islands at about 21N. Temps are relatively temperate (pun intended) here, and seldom do I see anything over 85F in my flat. I have 20in window fans running on the south and north windows to keep a cross flow. However...I have my miners on a wire shelving rack in my bath, which is fairly spacious as it's a wheelchair access flat (no, I don't use one...I just got lucky on what was open when I rented it). Their butt ends (exhaust) are up against the open louvered window, with another 20 in box fan hanging on the front edge of the rack, and blowing air (not at full blast, though) over/through the 741s, the power supply bricks, and the two 2400W line conditioners (one for each set of PSUs). I don't notice any increase in ambient heat in the bath, actually, but there's a fair amount of air moving through there, even though I keep the sliding pocket door all but 4 in closed to limit the noise as well.

Basically, if you don't have your miner (741 or otherwise) next to a window in a non-A/C room, you're basically running a room heater that's going to burn itself out rather soon.

The nice part, however, is that the 741s I'm running appear to do self-clocking...IOW, they sense the temps/fan speed/etc. and will reclock/reboot to optimize. The temp needs to get over 100, but then it will reboot to a slower clock, and continue that cycle until it reaches a relatively happy medium. Took me a while to realize this, and I kept hard booting one of them thinking something was wrong...until the one I wasn't messing with settled in, and made me look like a maroon. I've seen one of them take maybe five minutes to settle in, but one time it was 15 minutes when the ambient was higher. They've been running each at >8TH with temps around 96 for several weeks now.

Ah...the noise...well, they're better than an S7 for sure, but still rather mouthy... 

More Blocks; More Blocks; MORE BLOCKS!
