Title: Mining, mining, mining... internet cuts out... only half of my miners resume!?!
Post by: gigabytecoin on June 09, 2011, 12:21:13 AM
So I have at the moment 2 rigs of 6 video cards each hooked up to a single wireless/wired router.

I just noticed that my hashing rate had dropped on my pool stats sheet, so I went to check it out... assuming a card had frozen.

Nothing frozen, but my router was acting up for some reason. I was unable to access the internet for a period of a few minutes.

I am mining with linuxcoin and phoenix miner on both rigs.

On one rig, all cards resumed immediately.

On the other, only half of the cards resumed and the other still say 0mhash...

Any idea what could be causing this? Or do you know of a possible solution?

Allllllllllright never mind!?

After about 5-10 minutes all miners are now back up and running without any action on my part.

How did this happen? What is the reconnect rate set to by default on phoenix miner?

I have the same issue with Phoenix, except they don't always come back online. Does anyone have a solution?

Phoenix retries every 15 seconds, but depending on how your machines and/or network are configured, you might have had a bad DNS entry cached on the one that wouldn't reconnect.  That's happened to me a couple times now, especially when a pool gets DOS'd

I saw a 7 card build somewhere. But they are really low powered single slot cards, that does like 60 mh/s
