Will we need a stratum-mining-proxy to avoid getwork penalties on Slush with KnC machines? Would restarting the mining proxy hourly give a similar return improvement with KnC machines? I don't think this would be hijacking the thread but for those who think it might, sorry.

cgminer (the software that KnC has said they are using) is fluent in Stratum.

no proxy needed

Will a PSU Tester like this one

do the trick and power on the miner?

That should work.
All they do is measure the voltages.

The testers that are _NOT_ apropriate for long term use are testers that test under load.
They make your power supply work hard to see if there are under load problems

They will get as hot as anything else that is consuming 500-1500 watts.

They typically cost LOTS more than the voltage measuring testers that people have posted.

EDIT: there are inexpensive 'load' testers that are to be AVOIDED for this application.
an example is here

And here are a couple good power supply load tester pron links (for those interested in such things)

YMMV

Late last night in the wee hours of the morning I realized KnC is using cgminer which has stratum+tcp://
