You must watch / listen to this. If anyone does not understand the power of open source - this will open your eyes.
Have a good night friends, see you mañana

Hullo...
COMPLETELY

BADASS
...or so I've recently heard. K, I dunno what that means either and would also appreciate an explaination in English.

I was just remarking about it a really great open source project, not (necessarily) on its impact for mining.

You are using a compatible Router (in my case I currently use an ASUS RT-16n, I have used a Cisco/Linksys 3000 and 4200v1) - it controls my FPGAs using cgminer, the router uses max 8 watts vs 200watts for a PC
What computer uses 200W at idle? Mine uses 85W, and it's not a small or cheap system. Most laptops will be between 20-30W, and my old netbook used to use 12W.Where did I say idle or laptops?
My point is just that while DD-WRT is totally kickass, the power savings aren't really all that much.
If the computer is off while your not using it, the small savings add up.

I use DD-Wrt on an ASUS RT-16 router using p_shep's build https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1267931 - very cost effective, extremely low power usage,
DD-WRT is completely badass. I had no idea this existed.
explain why its better, please

I asked this awhile back but its buried by now...
Any update on the upgrade program for existing MMQ owners? Or will that be included with the news release on the new website?

anybody use Ubuntu as a server and if so which will you use with bASIC; BFGMiner or CGMiner?

October 13th - Happy Weekend!
Progress:
Contest:
I will be in and out of the office this weekend as usual - as far as I know I am caught up on emails and customer service (if your waiting on an email response from me and have not received it, it got buried too deep or its in spam folder or some other place I did not see it so please resend it now). If you need customer service please email me and do not PM me on the forum. It's just a real pain in the ass to try and answer a million questions over PM - PM's are like my absolute last priority so if you want an answer quick please just send email me through the web site.
or of course you can always give me a call at 315 514 0269 - but make sure you leave a message. I don't return calls to people who don't leave a message.
Also to the person who keeps trying to call me from a 661 area code (I think its from skype) every time you call me, I try to answer the phone but then it tells me you've hung up. I think my google voice line is not playing nice with your skype, I would try and call me from a regular line.
Have a good weekend!
Tom
Progress:
- New Web host has been established
- New web designer has been chosen and is already working hard on a great new design
- The tentative web site and news release date is Friday October 19th!
- The engineers and layout guys are working hard on the board & things are moving forward - been bugging them about getting me some graphic renders for the web site launch - keep your fingers crossed!
Contest:
- The week one ModMiner Quad Giveaway winner was Litebit he posted a thread about it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/just-arrived-free-840mhs-modminer-quad-fpga-miner-117905
- The week two ModMiner Quad Giveaway will end tomorrow night - the winner picking block will be the last block that is mined before 11:00:00 PM EST on 10/14/2012
- We will immediately begin accepting contestants for week three after the winner is chosen.

NEVER EVER go with bluehost or dreamhost.
I agree I'm a bit late too but I suggest the use of gigahost:
https://www.giga-international.com/?show=vserver
with 40€/month you get 4 cores, 12GB (!!) of ram, 600G of disk, and great support too!
I've been unable to find a better deal yet.
Please don't.
I know who they are, and how they operate.
If you want additional downtime go with them.
I also suggest the VM on a cloud environment idea.
AWS EC2 should do it. Take a east cost instance, so that you fit both US & EU. Their micro instance is also part of their free tier program, so you can have free hosting.

I See it in another way. Its ans oppertunity. I will stick To it

what bad things?
I have used them for various things over the years and I have never had a problem with downtime. Godaddy used to be a pain with certain things because of their proprietary system makes certain types of web site setups difficult to setup - however they have improved it significantly over the years. Personally I have never had even one of my godaddy sites experience any kind of down time and I have several.

GoDaddy was supporter of SOPA, they only backed out of it because of the huge backlash.
As a hosting professional for 12-13 years now, GoDaddy is in my books one of "those trendy, fashion things", not necessarily good, but it's trendy "because everyone has it".
That being said, it's better than most of the large webhosts, like dreamhost and bluehost who oversell like crazy, provides practically no support.
If i were you i'd choose a cloud and operate a VM from there, which constantly, via secure tunnel, backups the DBs etc., maybe in a master<>master config.
Then again, i don't do that myself, i'm perfectly happy with simple DDoS protections etc. basic stuff for a dedicated server. almost no downtime during couple of years to speak of.
NEVER EVER go with bluehost or dreamhost.
Yes, i know, i'm again late to the party! grr
