Title: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: SeanArce on November 27, 2013, 12:22:11 PM how often?

;D Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: nachius on November 27, 2013, 01:40:27 PM You'll probably be able to tell who is using windows vs. linux in this thread :)
I restart probably monthly and restart my asic cgminer app itself more often than that due to stability issues. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on?

Implying one OS is more stable than the other? Both Windows 7/8 and Linux variants will easily run 24/7/365 when being used as pure miners.

Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: jackmackg on November 28, 2013, 01:29:17 AM Many times, I have faulty hardware and meh software.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: tekke on November 28, 2013, 04:31:15 AM I restart it like once a month or so , but not because of software but due to the dust accumulation in my rig (open case) , I live nearby a huge construction and a lot of dust is coming through the windows every day. So to keep the temperatures down, I power my 3 miners off and clean them.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: PenAndPaper on November 28, 2013, 04:34:54 AM I used to restart it every month or something but lately mining performance slows down with no good reason at all after a week or something and i have to restart.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: zimmah on November 30, 2013, 01:09:12 AM My mining on what?
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: rarkenin on November 30, 2013, 02:39:43 AM When I would have needed to restart it had I not been mining.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: ar9 on November 30, 2013, 06:40:19 AM Do people still mine on their computers?
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: goxed on November 30, 2013, 08:58:50 AM Depends, Linux boxes, almost never except for a h/w upgrade,
Windows otoh once a month. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: PenAndPaper on November 30, 2013, 10:35:55 AM Do people still mine on their computers? I think people mine more than ever on their computers because of the recent boom in alt coins. For all i know they even buy gpu's again :-* Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: Relian on November 30, 2013, 11:11:19 AM It depends of the stability of my system. Usually once a month.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: mootinator on December 02, 2013, 10:59:29 PM The way I abuse my raspberry Pi, this has to be some sort of record. Shouldn't have to reboot it ever theoretically.
16:46:47 up 25 days, 20:26, 1 user, load average: 0.55, 0.42, 0.35 Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: sQueeZer on December 03, 2013, 03:29:09 PM Windows 7 machines. Uptime 80 Days - 24/7 mining.
No restart planned ;) Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: awgilyas on December 04, 2013, 01:29:52 AM Never! Raspberry Pi here. Only when I need to move the miners for solo mining on my main PC.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: gamefixer on December 04, 2013, 04:11:35 AM only when I have to move them or want to add more hardware to them (USB expansion cards).
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: sweetNlow on December 04, 2013, 05:15:04 AM I restart CGminer once a day, but only have restarted PC once in 3 months.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: killerbread on December 05, 2013, 06:13:58 PM My miner restarts once a day. I only have access to it once a month.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: bigassboy on December 06, 2013, 09:32:07 AM never, I just leave mine on constantly
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: DrG on December 06, 2013, 09:47:00 AM After 8 months I had to take down a LTC rig today for cleaning out the fans - amazing how useful a leafblower is - the hell with compressed air ;D It did have 2 pauses in mining (switching from reaper to CGMiner and then again switching pools) but the machine didn't actually restart - Win 7 x64 SP1
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: cowandtea on December 07, 2013, 12:44:38 PM never, but it gives me blue screen once in a while...
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: CubeOne on December 07, 2013, 10:07:15 PM I have never restarted my LTC Rig after I tweaked it, Why would I ?
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: Feneusens on December 08, 2013, 08:48:12 AM about every 3 weeks, cgminer just hang for no reason....
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: DrG on December 08, 2013, 09:42:42 AM about every 3 weeks, cgminer just hang for no reason.... Set cgminer to auto restart every week Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: Kenshin on December 08, 2013, 09:54:56 AM I never need to restart, unlike there is a power cut in my area. I am running Linux.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: DrG on December 08, 2013, 10:11:02 AM I never need to restart, unlike there is a power cut in my area. I am running Linux. Which flavor? Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: miners78 on December 11, 2013, 06:48:40 PM To keep safe I would probably say at least once a week. The couple of minutes of lost mining is nothing for being on the safe side and restarting.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: DrG on December 11, 2013, 08:42:46 PM To keep safe I would probably say at least once a week. The couple of minutes of lost mining is nothing for being on the safe side and restarting. But each restart does result in a thermal contraction/expansion cycle for the cards unless you're fast about it. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: Jcw188 on December 11, 2013, 10:00:18 PM Wow I do mine once a week but they are cpumining haha.
How much damage are we talking about for cpumining, not pushing it or anything, and it's well ventilated? anyone have experience with laptops that got fried? Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: DrG on December 11, 2013, 10:57:54 PM Wow I do mine once a week but they are cpumining haha. How much damage are we talking about for cpumining, not pushing it or anything, and it's well ventilated? anyone have experience with laptops that got fried? CPU mining on a desktop should be fine even with a stock fan. I would not do any kind of mining with a laptop. I just bought a brand new 17" I7 and went with a GTX 770 since I have no intention of killing it (even with warranty). It's just not worth my time. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: Sheldor333 on December 15, 2013, 12:11:02 AM I try to restart is at little as possible. About once a month I would say.
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: darkphantom934 on December 15, 2013, 01:56:18 AM Never xD
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: caminilegroup on December 15, 2013, 02:01:35 AM Stratum proxy runs on xUbuntu 13.10, on Dell Laptop, so no restarts.
I shutdown the blades for 30 secs once a week. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: nate008 on December 15, 2013, 02:06:31 AM I wouldn't say never.
I haven't done it since I started mining with the new gear in early November but probably I'll get a few forced restarts. Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: jeppe on December 16, 2013, 12:38:56 AM I restart a lot as my rig crashes a lot recently without any reason :/
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: jeppe on December 16, 2013, 12:43:06 AM But i have some friends that have there rigs mining for months without any problems. so it really depends on ur hardware
Title: Re: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? Post by: yntro on December 16, 2013, 09:11:04 PM Well it's depends... But still It's best in my opinion to let it rest for about 1h then it completly cool downs .. well less if in fresh air especially in winter :D But you can skip that if you have not just any computer.. As i said depends.
