In some other posts, some people tell that miners could be dangerous in closed rooms (because of VOC). Tell your son to ventilate his room 

I'd be interested to read up on VOC concerns.  I haven't come across anything on these.  Can you post a link to one or a couple?

VOC? whats voc?

ok, found it:

"The real issue are the chemicals released from the heated components - they give off toxic gases when heated - known as VOCs:

i have been in the same room and sleeping with miners on same room for 1 month or so omg... is that dangerous then?? Of course window was always opened and it was ventilated every day but... you scare me now xD

Don't have a heart attack.  I think there would be a lot out there on the subject if running a few machines put off any amount worth worrying about.  I've been looking around and I can't find much on the topic.

Mining now, thanks

Thats another good reason to buy used!! Since most of the outgasing will have occurred with the previous owner.

There we go!!  We didn't know that BFL (and all the others including bitmain lately) was doing everyone a health service by pre-mining (testing) equipment before shipping to deplete all that
nasty VOC before it affected their customers

Looks like KOI is back!  Even with sometimes days between blocks, Bitminter pays steadily.

I'm getting an error today on my client, reads:

Resource https://bitminter.com/client/ etc has futures expires Wed Sept 10 etc.

Could anybody help?

Does the client still start, or is this preventing it from starting?

Could you try flushing the java cache? https://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml

Those messages are nothing to worry about. Something else is going wrong.

Did it work before, or has it never worked?

Did you change or install a firewall?

Did you update your graphics card drivers? AMD drivers are often broken and crash the instant you look at them.

Are you getting a hs_err_pid crash log on your desktop?

Got it to work Had to uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for you responsiveness. Love BitMinter.

can't see anything better than BTC, sorry!

Do we know when bit minter is going to be back on line?

Maintenance for the mining server on saturday 13th between 03:00 and 09:00 UTC.

You may get disconnected during this time, but not for long.

Maintenance is being a little bumpier than expected.

For those who are unable to connect at this moment, apologies for the inconvenience, I'll get you back on the pool ASAP.

Use Stratum on port 3333 if at all possible. If mining with an old version of Bitminter client, use the new one.

[DrHaribo]

For some users our website (and all other websites using Cloudflare) is extremely slow right now. Cloudflare is working on fixing this.

Apologies to those who are affected. We should be back to normal soon.

Wow, 4 days now and still in 94% all day.
This means no profit because i get way less than i have to pay the electric bill.
Need to stop mining, i don't wanna stop, but need to...  .

Yeah. The low BTC price at present is proving a problem.  I seem to be seeing a lot of small miners struggling.  Only the Icelandic Crowd are gonna ride this one through if this lasts too long ( as they get cheap electricity ).  I'm still in the game, but it is not proving easy with such a low BTC price.  I paid £1/GH, I run at 1w/GH on both rigs, and I have one of the lowest Electricity prices you can get without having Solar Panels.  And this month I will break even if this first week is anything to go by.   Silk Road did not help at all.

All a bit pants really :/


Maybe see you on the flip-side dude. At least it's been an adventure
