Good luck

you need to comply with the ceo of bitcoin first.

Well, I'm having problems with my wife and girlfriend. Eligius should notify me when there is a schedule conflict in my bitcoin use keeping them all happy.

I would like the CEO of Eligius to personal call me when something is wrong.  That would be nice.

Eclipse doesn't have a fee for their notification and it's pretty good. However I've been noticing that Eclipse will sometimes reject a lot of shares (a couple of percent as opposed to <1%) which is a bit odd and I don't think they share block rewards.

Eclipse also has more short term variation because it's a bit smaller. Over time things will average out, but in the short term I go a bit bonkers when it takes 20 hours to find a block, followed by 1 minute to find another one. Whatever, luck averages out over time.

There's plenty of piece of software available that can monitor miners and notify you if something dies.  cgwatcher is one that instantly comes to mind.

Other pools have email notifications, but you pay 2% fees for that privilege.  Eligius is a fee-free pool for miners who can monitor their own miners, and don't get their knickers in a knot when stats die or a payout is 10 minutes late.

 

He doesn't want a text message. He just wants to talk to Wizkid and chat.

A text message for an offline worker would be an awesome feature!

Is it possible for whizkid to call on my cell phone everytime my s1 antminer or u2 is down?

But thank you for putting up a placeholder explaining that this is a known stats outage.

Correct, it doesn't. 

Hi,

Thank you.  However, it does not send me an email message or call me to tell me it is down.

Put a worker name on them  _workername

I have five S1 Antminer and all pointed to Eligius.  One of them went down, but I don't know which one unless I logged in to each one individually to check.  Do you have a way I can keep track of which of my antminers is down?

Database was moving very slowly catching up with all of the stats traffic.  I've temporarily disabled the stats pages while it finishes its catch up.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

As always, stats don't affect mining or the pool servers, so mining is working as normal.

I had that thought too!  A home-brew heat exchanger!  Bury it deep someplace moist and use plenty of feet of copper pipe!  I, however, don't have that option, I live in a condo complex.  Hell, I'd need an act of congress just to plant flowers outside.

I haven't gotten the March bill yet, but it's probably gone up by $14 per day!  Yep, an additional $420 a month.   Serious mining is not for the feint of heart.  I got most of my S1's in February.  So, that's without cooling costs.  All for a measly 1.5TH.

That's the first I've heard of an ANTMiner S2 coming out.  In my estimation the Cointerra TerraMiner IV has the most affordable cost per gigahash for the individual miner.  The KnC is just ridiculously expensive and is, in my opinion, relegated to the early Bitcoin adopters with lots of BTC to spare, the already wealthy or the institutional investors.

It makes me sad that this "arms war" of hashing power has put substantial Bitcoin profitability out of the reach of so many "regular Joes."

Here's to hoping BTC finally get's out of the doldrums and yields enough fiat cash to pay these bills and still make a profit!

I understand exactly what you mean.  Power bill has been climbing like crazy due to scrypt coin mining on multi gpu machines here, now add one antminerS1 and wait anxiously for news of S2.

As for summer, that's a real problem since it hits 110F here.....
Have not developed a plan yet, but contemplating geothermal cooling loop under the lawn.....

Welcome Rock6.3.  I love the Eligius charts too!  There are few mining pools I've seen that have charts that can compare!
If you are addicted to just the charts, it won't be long now (if you are anything like me) until you are panting with crazed and glazed eyes (figuratively speaking) wondering where you can get a few more gigahashes.   "Just one more fix, and then I'm off the stuff forever, I swear!"  LOL  I think eBay is going to declare a dividend because of me!

Myself, I live in Minnesota and I've been spoiled by the free "air conditioning" cooling my miners all winter.  Not to discourage you, but...  I started mining in January and my power usage has gone up five kilowatts!  I put my miners in the attached garage and kept the door open a few inches all winter.  It never got colder than 45 degrees in the garage, when it was -10 outside!

Trying to air condition all that heat out of the house would break the budget.  So, I'm designing water-blocks for the Antminer S1's and ASICMiner Cubes to use this summer using "relatively" inexpensive materials.  Standard water-blocks available for PC applications either physically don't fit or they don't do the job.  Buying custom water-blocks from a company that specializes in manufacturing them would also break the bank, I've checked.

I plan on offering the water-blocks for sale via Bitcointalk.org once perfected and possibly more complete solutions.  I also have a design for disposing of the heat via slowly disposing of the water versus just dissipating it into the air, which brings no benefit versus just using fans.  Obviously not a solution for water restricted locations like California.

I'll keep y'all updated!
