Any guesses how much the total network hash rate will be affected due to power outages etc?
Anyone got generators ready to power up those mining rigs if the power goes out?

Why did I sell at $5! Come back to me my old bitcoin! 1GjeBGS4KrxKAeEVt8d1fTnuKgpKpMmL6S
If you don't like the price of BTC come back in 8 hours.

Storm has passed by me in central florida as of a couple hours ago and I lost 0 minutes to power outages. I hope everyone else is as lucky as me, I think when this thing turns into a snowstorm we should see a chunk of hashing power disappear. |

I live in the mid-Atlantic and supposedly ground zero for the damn thing.

What I love most about hurricanes is when they send the reporters to the beach and they're getting pelted by sand, wind, and rain and having to run in terror of an especially large wave. dumb ass reporters  |

I wish I could say I hope to reap the profits from other miners going off-line, but I doubt there will be any pay day.

got a generator that will run the house, but I wont waste fuel to mine. I went 1 week without power last october storm and my fuel reserve does not last forever, especially when no gas stations within 60 miles can pump it because they have no power either  it goes towards heating, well pump, refrigeration and computers in power sipping mode. so count 1.7 GH/s down if the powers out. northeast USA here, they say we will get hammered pretty good where I am. |

I just received news from my sailing club that one of our live-aboard members was killed in the storm last night. His boat was colliding with another boat and in his attempts to rescue his boat his head was crushed between the two boats. I'm just beside myself with grief. Dan (known as DB Dan) was a drunk but he was a fixture at the sailing center. He kept an eye on everyone's boats and let us know when there were problems. We all gave him rum in thanks if something went wrong. He was a very slight man, 90lbs wet and I'm just so sad by this event. Here I was thinking the storm passed us by and we were unscathed but now I get this horrible news and... Man I'm in tears. http://halifaxsailing.org/Mainsheet/March_2012.html#DBDan |

Condolences FLHippy.
It sounds like he can be found on Fiddlers Green, I'm sure they'll have plenty of rum.

It's raining hard and steady here near Washington.
Should be an interesting commute.

Only government employees get days off for weather. I can assure you the customer did not slip the product schedule for us because of weather. The work's absolutely positively gotta be done by the due date. |

Im sitting here at work as well. Cold rain and a bit of wind so far... Still mining away but if the power goes out, consider another 4GH/s gone.
Im sure it will have an impact but I wouldnt like to guess how much.

26.649 Thash/s down from 30 Thash/s. That's a 13% decrease. Of course I have no idea if this is frankenstorm related, but it sure is spooooooky!

Could be luck. You never know! Anyways, my power was down for ~ 4 hours up here in Southern Maine, but it's back now. |

Lights just went out for a sec, I just shut my rigs and unplugged everything. I don't feel like frying expensive equipment. |

After hurricane sandy left me and my dead friend behind, the temperature dropped to 50F. Finally my mining hardware is producing WANTED heat We turn the heat on when the temps reach 60 here in florida. |
