Yup...maybe I can SMS Vinny...

I think we are dead again.  

I can PM you Cousin Vinny's number in Chicago... 

Thanks for taking care of it in the middle of the night.

Would love to see ck or Kanos response to this discussion

Just a bad day at the office.
Be fine tomorrow.
 

Main controlling node at the main datacentre went down ...
I'm now looking for an assassin to kill whoever the tech guy was who hit Ctl-Alt-Delete ... yes literally that's what happened
All is OK again.

looks like everything is back to normal

Looks like we are

My S7-F1 couldn't connect to either fr/dk/main.... so it wasn't mining for a few minutes.

I couldn't ping any pool either and my 3 configured pools are kano.

It appears we are back.

My behavioral scientist/ex-bank cop self is just now waking up...0600 here...and having a ball reading all the gloom & doom stuff from some folks. As I've said before...this is not an occupation...or hobby...for the faint of heart.

My point regarding last year's spot and yesterday's halving is this: it's based on hard numbers, and the diff% is not what I'm looking at. It's not relevant to my view. I'm a "small home miner" in essence, although I've farmed out three S7s to Labrador, where they will still make a profit. I've been involved in this for years. I think there are a number of us in that position. We don't all see it the same, though, for various reasons. Some of us were "there" for the last halving...I can remember a good deal of talk in the same doom & gloom category then. Seems to have worked out a bit better than apocalypse, though.

Bottom line is that, after my first stint that ended in Mt. Gox, I started over with a high-end GPU; promptly moved up to a used S2; then began turning over revenue, plus a little extra fiat cash, into used S3s until I had six plus the S2. Then picked up one S7, then two more new. After blowing the 30A mains at my place a couple of times (I'd been misled on how much service came into my flat), and after doing a bit of research, I shipped off the S7s to Labrador, and retired the S2 as nowhere to cohost it that had free power (as I do). After all that, I'm not going anywhere. I live on partial VA disability and a small retirement check. I can't afford...at all...to gamble with resources.

I knew up front in sending the units to Labrador that they would still be profitable after the halving...not so much, obviously, in terms of BTC, but quite reasonable in terms of fiat cash. Again...my focus is on long-term investment, not cash flow. By the time of the next halving, I hope to have accumulated enough BTC to take care of any major catastrophic financial events that might come my way without being wiped out...again.

Sorry for the long tome...only on my first cup of coffee. I'm happy to see a couple of "new" blocks on the queue, and again, I really do appreciate all the interchange here. I also appreciate your level of civility, and the acceptance I enjoy. Ain't many places left on the planet where that is the norm. We've got a few "interesting" folks here on the board...but they're the salt and pepper of the mix. Keeps it from getting too awful serious.

I've had to wait for the halving, and another few days to see that things go as expected. So far, so good...and it's time to move the little private co-op of disabled and low-income folks here into reality. We've been working on the plan for it since February, and the concept is proven feasible now. I'll post about it on a separate thread in a couple of days. A key factor in it has been the performance and integrity of this pool.

Mahalo nui loa no ke aloha (heartfelt thanks for the aloha...good energy).



Anyway...the old "keep calm, and mine on" still holds.  

EDIT: Took a while to type that...just saw the notes on status...and my S3s are all failed over to solo as well. Interesting new note on the site with the "Database reloading," but mining is definitely not OK. Shows kano.is dead for about 19 min (presently 0457 UTC here).

All of my hardware had failed over to solo mining and my rentals are showing as dead too.

My software is showing the pool went down about 14 minutes before this post.

"Database is reloading, mining is all OK"
...not really

same here .. all of my miners , s7's and s9's are failed over to the secondary(backup) pool

Same here. I'm mining solo right now. Perhaps I'll get lucky! LOL

The site says:

Database is reloading, mining is all OK

But my S9 has re-pointed at a backup pool.

Looks like we had a restart.
I'm showing all ? on the web site.

I'm assuming I'm not alone?  

I've decided to only run my three S7's at night so I can run them at full speed. I will keep the S9 running 24/7. I'm thinking I will shut down the S7's around 10:30-11:00 AM when it starts getting hot and start them back up around 10:00PM.

I'm doing this for heat and mainly to save some $$ on electricity. With the halving and the BTC price drop, I'm barely making any profit running all four miners 24/7. When / if price increases above 675-700, I'll start them back up for 24/7 mining.

I know that will screw up my 5ND on Kano.

Would it be better, in anyone's opinion, to just down-clock the S7's to something like 500-600MHZ and continue to run them day and night?
I know the latter would be better for my 5ND, but would it save any measureable amount of electricity over all? Be better for block income?

I'm just wondering what the pool members thoughts are on this.

Thanks for any input.

Let's get back to a GREEN stats page!  

EDIT: Additionally, there is no price difference for me between day and night. It's all the same price.

EDIT2: I should also add that if the difficulty drops any substantial amount after the next diff change, I MAY go back to all miners 24/7.

Block 420143

I did the same but the old beasts made me profit.
