So buzzed that you're posting on your wife's account?

Glad the rentals worked out for you.  I burned 15BTC last week pushing 200-400TH onto p2pool... Made 2.5 of it back.  Oh well... Crap luck killed me.

Notsure if this is the right place but can i use a Raspberry  Pi with the Avalon Nano usb?

Edit: using Raspbian as os

If it's like Avalon 2 or 3, 8 for the PI and I never maxed out the TP link router controller with 12.

You can only mine at home to a certain scale.  Eventually, if you have lots of miners you'll need to put them someplace where you can get commercial levels of power.

Plus, if your residential rate is over $0.10 it is probably cheaper to put them someplace else.

phillipma1957 what do think about pointing  the in house miners to kano pool and the rentals to a 4 or 5 % pps pool just a thought

will check soon

on a separate note the bitcoin client just released does not open from minimized on Yosemite

Anyone using 220v in the U.S. to power their home based miners to increase power supply efficiency?  I've tracked down these NEMA 6-15 power cords http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?id=28155.  I've wired a NEMA 6-15 outlet for a central vac in my last home, but these outlets are fairly uncommon for residential use.  However, they seem to be the most appropriate solution for supplying 220v in the U.S. to ATX power supplies.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm just enjoying the snow from the comfort of my miner heated solar powered home. I liked the poll you ran philipma1957, sorry it got cut short.
Yes I designed and installed the first privately owned wind and solar powered electric generators that were allowed to be tied into the public utility grid in my state, which last time I checked was the 2nd largest solar market in the US. I've also done a bunch of other energy utilization projects over the years. 
If anyone is really interested in setting up an off grid or on grid mining system utilizing the most cost effective energy processes currently available, I'd be happy to consult. But what I'd really love to coordinate is an energy deployment maximization plan for one of these larger scale deployment facilities, they are dropping the ball on duel purposing their facilities. Bitfury, Friedcat, Bitmaintech, Spondoolies, KnC... they've made great products, but they are showing their lack of depth on their larger scale mining deployments. It's only a matter of time before an entity steps into the fray with a more comprehensive methodology. All of these entities which are deploying miner facilities that live and die based on the cost of energy and the price of bitcoin at any given moment just haven't figured it out yet. I'd love to help them unhinge from the temporal whims of the bitcoin market space in a way that enables them to enhance the services they are providing to the general community and increases their competitive edge. If large scale deployments truly want to maximize the value of their participation in the bitcoin mining market space.... they will need a more comprehensive philosophy.

70$ ?

With deploying cost, manufacturing cost, chip research and first manufacture cost, maintenance cost, investors money and investors profit and some others?

Are you sure?

I did manually block 2 IPs yesterday for users with constant cgminer connection attempts to accounts that didn't exist.
One was "IcyPPS" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg10508919#msg10508919

Both IPs didn't seem to be doing anything but failing and it gets annoying seeing that for hours on the console.
PM me your IP address and I'll check see if it matches.

I know on the VPS server I have the firewall blocks people from seeing websites at times.  It is usually a temporary block depending on the type of intrusion it detects,  Usually 30 minutes.  (because customer forget their password and try 5 times or refresh a webpage 50 times in a minute) Most of my customers I work with give me their IP and I can whitelist it.

Ok lets find a block!
