If my miner goes offline for any reason (in the recent example offline for 5 hours due to failed surge protector).
Is there a ramp backup delay to get back to full force? I believe I read a new miner takes 7 ish days.
On a related note I have a S9 powered by a EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 80+ PLATINUM. Do I need to run a surge protect between it the power supply and the wall outlet? Shouldn't the fuse in the fuse box just trip if there is a surge?
Just needs another five or so hours to fully ramp back up (and probably not even that long). If you're fully in right now, you could potentially not mine here for just over two weeks, and get paid from any blocks found. I wouldn't worry about those five hours if you were fully in already, will mean very little in the overall scheme of things (and even if it did, you'd just ramp back up to full while you were sleeping anyway).
