with respect, the few shares you lose every few days will cost way less than the hosting to save them.
Doing some troubleshooting and maybe upgrading modem might solve the issues
do you have naked adsl or a landline? - if landline is there noise on the line? if so you might be able to get line issues fixed -if thats the problem
you shouldn't need to restart your device just because it loses connection, when connection resumes it should get work from the pool and start submitting.
Embeded Linux device to allow for standalone mining. < you can ssh to the device and send it reboot command
the way to get best return from asic devices is minimise the cost of running them - hosting will maximise the cost (in AU anyway)
Hey, well as far as line noise. I don't even know where to start to test that stuff out. The modem just lost connection then and took about 5-10 minutes to sort itself out and connect again. It seems like it's a daily occurrence. Maybe cheap internet or old modem is the cause here?
So whatever mining software is the machines shouldn't have any issues reconnecting once the modem has sorted itself out?. I'll have to research testing the lines, do some troubleshooting.
yep, if you have buzz / hiss/ crackling on your voice line that is audible you can get your carrier to check/repair your line - it is a sign your line isnt up to spec.
5-10 min dropouts, I'd def be looking at modem, does it get hot to touch? Age/brand of modem can make a difference too.
The price of your plan
shouldn't affect stability.
