I dont understand how you can have 8 hours downtime ( from the miner point of view )
When this network failed happened i got notification from flypool and from my watchdog, i investigated, took me 10 minutes to switch back all my rigs on ewbf and to change the server from europe to asia.
In that day i made more coins then usual because a lot of miners didnt react to flypool europe server failure and the difficulty dropped.
The next day i switched back to dstm's miner.

If you mine and want uptime USE WATCHDOGS SCRIPTS dont blame this on the mining software.

I do have watchdogs, but the process was not unloaded entirely, so the watchdog didn't see that.
I periodically check the miners, but this particular day i was in a plant dealing with a PLC from an automated extrusion machine that was acting up, and i didn't have the time to check, because i had the engineers discussing what could be the problem plus the management guys coming every 5 minutes to see if i was able to fix it so.... Grin

like i said, unique scenario, normally i'll find out in a couple of hours tops.
Oh! on top of that my business parner (which he also check for my rigs, was on vacation)
perfect storm, you know....
Oh, did I mention this plant is in the middle of the country, with no LTE connection, only wifi from the plant, 1MB connection via radio which sucks, and also the wifi does not cover the entire plant so where i was working i had no data coverage at all, had to go to the office to get that 100 mts away.... so.... perfect storm +1 Grin
