How do you get no credit? It has only solved one block in 4 months? This doesn't sound too correct.

For the past 36 hours my miner has been off line do to my shittasit shitty shit appt power constantly blowing my FUCKING powersupplies... TWO FUCKING SUPPLIES.....  AND NO WHERE IN FREAKING CANADA DOES ANYONE SELL A GOD DAMN VOLTAGE REGULATOR like ARGH.

Calm down, now it may be very disapointing that you weren't up and running for this but since coins are down you can always buy a bit to cheer yourself up. It sounds like unless you move there isn't going to be an easy solution to your power issue.

I might make a voltage regulator MUHAHAHAHAHA or buy UPS's but that is expensive.

Actually it might be easier just to make beastly power supply..

A UPS would be nice, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it for you.

At least the nice thing with most miners is that if there's a power outage, the miner will start mining again right when it receives power. With Windows and GPU's that sometimes wasn't the case.

That and a high wattage one is crazy expensive, for one for an average good wattage miner you're talking 200$.

Not even I got two for $80 per unit at 550VA.  One for my computer, 1 for my high end miner.. the other was not protected :(.  Factory Direct has a 800VA on right now for 79.99, I'm considering it!!

TBH I am more upset I require a new PS.  The loss on the mining pool was just the cherry lol damn you luck!!

A simple solution is to stop mining if you have inadequate hardware or power.
