nice a miner and ham as well

Just noticed your sig line. 73s! Check out www.kh6e.org the island's radio club site. We maintain the 2M repeater system here and work the EOC's VHF and HF rigs when needed. My truck is assigned to Fire Station 7 for ops as backup to the island's 800mhz trunk system that invariably fails due to being computer-controlled; our setups, of course, don't rely on infrastructure at all. Last time we activated (for anything but a threat) was the Fukushima event.
We've been doing a lot of training and logistics exercises using FLDIGI the past couple of months.
A couple of other retired hams here have seen what I've accomplished and have a high interest (they have a lot of PV on their homes) in BTC and the pool. We'll see how that goes.

well a ups for the modem is not to bad but a ups for the S7 is going to to be pricey 
Could be. Just checked w/Zach's dashboard and 5Nd seems to be within .2TH of where it was. Maybe I got lucky. Never did figure out just how long I could be totally down and have to start over.
I've got 3 (and soon perhaps 5) S7s on four different 20A/120V circuits, and six S3s. I'll start with the one circuit that feeds the modem, router, cable signal amp (needed here b/c of the poor signal quality on this end of the island and 40-yr old building with poor coax), one S7 and the workstation and see how that goes.
I can get a true sine 2KW inverter/charger for around US$600 w/shipping. That will handle one circuit. A deep cycle 430RC battery is around $240 at Napa that would provide several hours of backup. I've been planning on doing at least one circuit for some time, as I'm part of the Civil Defense emergency response network here (RACES - AH6TA) and need to keep my base station radio gear online as well. In the instance of a disaster op, I would shut down that circuit's miner(s) to give preference to the HF/VHF radios (they need a total of about 20A for full power). I normally run those radios out of my truck, but need to be able to do it at home as well.
Just saw Kano's note on 5Nd as well...mahalo (thx) for that one. Makes me feel better.

Yeah I had to rewrite a couple of lines ...Just saw the note on 5Nd as well...mahalo (thx) for that one. Makes me feel better.
Even I get confused about it sometimes

Power was out on this end of the island for an hour and fifteen minutes...then another 15 minutes for the cable modem to resync...that hurt. Gotta scrape together some backup power for the miners/modem/etc. I can't afford to be remaking 5Nd twice a month (about the average for power going out here).
Um 
The 5Nd isn't really relevant there.It's 'being off' that accounts for what you miss.
If you are mining then stop, then your reward heads down until it hits zero when the pool reaches 5Nd after you stopped.
When you start up again it heads up to and reaches max when the pool reaches 5Nd after you restarted.
The side effect of being off for less than 5Nd is that you don't reach zero, but instead have the outage spread out over the 5Nd from when you restart.
So rather than lose all payouts for a short time, you instead lose a fraction of your payouts for 5Nd.
The amount you miss will average to the statistically expected amount for the length of the outage.
i.e. it can be more or less, but is expected, on average, to match the time you were off
The more often you do it, the more it is expected to approach the average expected amount

just for once i would like that Alloscomp predictions would come thru -10% right now but reality is totally different

The difficulty is dropping dramatically and should be zero or below in just a few hours.
The Big PH Farms are dropping down in expectation of the difficulty levels - What is about to happen over the next two weeks?
Bitcoin Difficulty: 178,678,307,672
Estimated Next Difficulty: 178,950,313,857 (+0.15%)
Adjust time: After 49 Blocks, About 8.4 hours

As he said, a UPS solution is going to be pricey and each UPS will add about 25 watts to your load (battery charger). A standby generator will do the job but you have to cover the time it takes to start the generator. Sometimes things are just never easy!

well as long as the temps are not in the hi 35c and humidity is not 95% it will be bearable

Anyone know where blocks 409066, 409062 went? They haven't shown up in my wallet yet. This part of the same weirdness that was going on yesterday?

I thought they would have shown up in my CoinBase by now, but I am also missing 409066 and 409062. Last one paid for me was 408929.
I keep a steady eye on anything going in and out, but those two haven't made it yet.
They won't show up in Coinbase until kano hits a block and gives it the 1st confirm. It's an odd way of doing things now that they didn't do before.
Thanks for the info!

They eventually made it, just strange. Normally once the mature in Kano, they show up in my Wallet almost instantly.
Thanks for your input folks!

Own your wallet can't be said enough that way you're in control 
I second that a couple of hundred times. I don't keep any btc in either of my exchange wallets, except what is needed for the present transaction. I learned that lesson the hard way some years ago w/Mt. Gox.

And...as I type...here comes 409062 into my wallet. Kano's got his coffee...

That'll work. Top of the morning, mate.

Those two blocks have not been payed out yet...last block out was 408929. Be patient, they will be out later today
we are sitting on 8 blocks I think 2 confirmed and 6 waiting to confirm.
and I had good 5n for all of them
Last block I have a payment from is 408877.
EDIT: Now that I look at totals I see that the wallet has them listed in a different order, presumably because they all confirmed in the same block and it doesn't care about when they were broadcast. So yeah, 408929 looks like the last one.
