I would like to hope that Bob has a fix it in his pocket after his return visit with BA whether it is a software or hardware issue. I'm sure he will provide a good balance to R9-12 recovery as well as getting the new hardware up and running.

As you know, every second that goes by is lost of BTC if R9-12 is not producing 2.3745 BTC every 24 hours at the current difficulty of 707,408,283.
