I'm getting the hash rate not from the pool, but from the miner page itself.

This connection between wireless devices and lightnings is far from being documented properly, from obvious reasons - a lot of companies could loose a lot of money in damages. Several years ago a kid was struck with lightning on the seaside, on the promenade. I was standing where he was just 10 minutes before the lightning stroke. He was dead on the spot, and when the  police came in to investigate it turned out he had a two working cell-phones in his backpack at the moment he got the blow. It's a very common practice around here for people to have two phones, one for each network, as network traffic within one network is almost free comparing to minutes between the different networks. I can not be positive he would be alive if there were no cellphones in that backpack, but that's reasonable to assume IMHO. Who knows when we will find the truth if these things are connected or not. Anyway, since than I'm turning my cell phone off when I'm in the open on a storm.

The miner has an address, the laptop has an address the mobile has an address if wifi connected.  Address cgminer using putty on either.

They buried WWII bulldozers and cranes under where you live and the underground metal attracts the lightening.

Ah, well, right in the sense the network isnt in place atm...  Im using the laptop now, which was my server connection to the wifi access.  I like the idea of using the n300 though!  You just ethernet The KNC machine to it, and it connects to the wifi? is that correct? That sounds great. Tell me all you can...plz!   any configuring?  I was hoping for another solution... like built in wifi on Neptunes...hehe but that's probably a stretch.


I think I found the reason the lightning was attracted to such a strange place.. I found the radio fence wire box was blown off the wall in the laundry area, and was all burnt. The perimeter fence keeps the dogs on the farm via radio wire, which circles the entire 3 acres, and I had to bury it across the driveway, right at the gate... right where the service line crosses the radio wire is where the lightning hit.

If i want to access the miner via my laptop and my mobile, lets say 192.168.1.xx + 192.168.1.xx, then what do i put in the management address? It won't let me put in 2 addresses

Ah yes but did you have a lightening strike?  I'm pretty sure it was Phoneix who put together a bridge setup with an early Jupiter and laptop.  Low probability he would have kept it in place after selling the Jupiter but thought I'd ask.

I've been using these N300's with both of my October Jups to wi-fi enable them. No complaints.

What would be nice is if they put optoisolators between cable in and Cat5 out in all cable modems.  The design for to prevent energy coming in on the cable to reach the RJ45.  Maybe make it a UL requirement.  The insurance companies will save money.

I live smack-dab @ 19.5 deg if you know what that means... (The Magnetic vortex) right near Kileua Crater
I should have known this would eventually happen. I got comfy here over the past few years thinking it was nonsense.
I wish there was something like solar that would capture electromagnetic/ionic energy and I could
Run some Neptunes with it... lol.
But Aussie Pete & I have a plan for the future using KNC Miners with an Industrial size E-cat (1MW) if we can get that far.
Minimum 1.5 mil we will need for that adventure. No electric bill running miners would be pure profit at some point...  any generation.
I know it sounds like a pipe dream, and maybe it is....  but after doing so well out the gate with KNC we figure if those scenarios were even close to duplicated over the next few months, it could become a possibility.


Soy....  everything was backed up several times... no worries there.. but thanks.
It's a high-end system I custom built... it will be MB(No Post)on MSI-GD658d, GPU(No power)Raedon7970 ... dunno if the cpu is still good or not (core17)  The TX750 that ran it is junk..  rattles like glass inside.  Dunno if the 2166 ocz ram is good or not, or the ssd... gotta test it.
I think I'm gonna trash the whole she-bang, and cut my losses... stick with laptops & external 3.0 drives.

So there's a good chance a new motherboard, CPU, memory and power supply will bring the system back to life with the old hard drive.  In fact you might run down to the store, buy a new desktop, rip out the new system's hard drive, put in yours and boot to your old desktop.  Have your Windows DVD handy for recovery I would think.

Darn, most of you guys have avatars.  My profile sez: Changing avatars is currently not possible.  Any workaround?  I just liberated my ATC ½ Marathon photo (price was a bit high) and tho not very clear, it was free.

May I ask what ports on the motherboard were fried?  I was given a laptop fired by lightening and the RJ45 port was BADLY smoked with molten copper and the power brick port was also fried but to a lesser extent.  A desktop would fry differently but still if the energy got in via the RJ45 that would seem most damaged.

The laptop's hard drive was fine.  A good sized SATA, it's now hanging off my wdtv live, living on.

I recall you managed to get one of your miners 802.11 bridged but you sold them.  Did you keep the bridge up and was anything isolated via bridge damaged?  Thanks.

You are all welcome, the 'new' stopped working for me and annoyed me so much had to find out why

Phoenix1969, sorry to hear your troubles, perhaps it's some sort of karma thing for living in the most beautiful place in the world, I had the pleasure of 2 weeks on Oahu many years ago was paradise

Yeah, Thanks Tigger.... had same here.
Most progress in 3 days.  

Having a hard time... my baby is dead(desktop) /everything is fried. That was an expensive bolt of lightning.
Next time they talk about solar flares, I'm paying more attention. 1/2 the neighborhood got same.

And why you want to do that? Voltage should worry you only if you have UNDERPERFORMING miner. What's your stats?

Will accept refund of my Neptune as 10 krugerrands packaged inconspicuously and shipped to my post office box.

Thank you!

Try a piece of cardboard about 6" wide in the center between the two front modules from the bottom to the under lip above the fans forcing air from the front fans down on the BBB and controller boards.  The slowup not in the modules but in the BBB/controller board and cooling mitigates it.
