Lmao - 'MA' = 'Hi, my names xxxxx and I got into mining to look big in front of my mates - now I can't sleep at night without firing up Putty and checking my rigs every 15 minutes - the cat's left me and the wife is peeing on the carpet, er - it's just a mess...'

Spoetnik - you make a lot of good points.

I have been tempted by Gridseeds in terms of their low power per k/hs but their post-mining-redundancy usability is zilch! At least with GPUs they can be re-functioned very easily...

Shitstorm - lol - shitcoinstorm indeed! I'm keeping an open mind but the last month or three has seen the dark clouds for sure...

Couldn't agree more! Very addictive when you see auto payouts arriving in wallet... BUT the Mine & Dump model driven by need to meet $/Kw and make profit against ever increasing Diff is killing the 'Golden Goose' and with CPU>GPU>ASIC it's all getting rather frustrating! With new scrypt coins launching daily the decision on what to mine and what coin might even get to an exchange becomes increasingly difficult.

OP - The answer may well be in your last sentence! - If you don't pay for electricity just go for it with the GPU - at least they can be resold whereas $/kw/khs ASIC benefit of ASIC doesn't apply with free power and they'll become expensive paperweights fairly quickly unless some newbie buys them from you later on...

...and it's gone again... 

Ok, no thoughts...

By way of an update, as mentioned, I can use the router admin diagnostics utility to ping the rig but nothing is getting through from LAN.

Re-booting router gets PING & SSH back via LAN

Woah - just tried and got ping and ssh back after leaving it over an hour (without re-booting router this time) - wierd...

Be very careful using 2 PSUs on H81 Pro BTC - there thread somewhere about frying 3 mobos! Ok, found it:

http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1z99gz/fried_through_3_asrock_h81_pro_btcs/

As I recall, powering the mobo pci with PSU 1, using non-powered risers, and then powering the cards from PSU 2 can cause probs unless the 2 PSUs have a common GND.

Also, recommended (although there was some varied opinions) to use powered risers...

Can't help more right now but there is lot of info out there...

Oh dear - not much happening here today... 

Cannot find this particular issue in any other thread...

I have two particular rigs running Xubuntu 13.10 - different GPUs in each.

Both rigs have identical cgminer 3.7.2 compiled and apart from one XFX R9 270 being a bit fussy with settings, all ok.

My issue is that on one rig, I can reliably run an SSH session via Putty and do:


then CTL+A d to detach, exit out of Putty - then hours later (when I get home from work) open a Putty session and do:


And I'm in there seeing my cgminer screen.

However, on the other rig - (after doing exactly as above) - when I try and Putty(SSH) in later it just times out. Can't ping the rig and 'no route to host' reported. Wierdly, I can ping the rig if I log into the firewall/router at home and ping its IP from the routers (Netgear) built in diagnostics screen... but not from box on the LAN

Only way to get back up regain SSH access is to hard reboot the rig. INTERESTINGLY - The rig carries on mining happily in isolation and is visible on the pool/s! Therefore, its still connected on the LAN, is still sending/receiving packets to pool but is deaf to ping and any other attempts to speak with it or control it...

I should add that the rig in question uses a USB Pi Hut Ralink WiFi dongle as link whereas the other rig (which is at work) is hard wired on LAN there...

Any thoughts good people?

Yeah, and while I was waiting for auto-payout on minep.it to get sorted I was topping up my TIPS by a few more Mil!

Only time will tell on so many 'shitcoins'... It's all a game of chance and hope that devs do some work, name fits, whatever happens, that makes enough folks think that it's worth buying and up they'll go - worthless pieces of shit or not!!!

Lol! Sorry, Token Expired...

Hey, what's happening with payouts???

Manual withdrawal method would be good!
