I agree that the culprit isn't the NewPacs or Sidehack, as I have running a restart script since the days of .333 G/h USB miners. I still have my old .bat restart script for Windows archived. If anyone wants me to post it, I will.
Restarting loses only seconds, where if it goes offline you may lose minutes or hours.
While I might not use your restart script this weekend, it would be good to have in my back pocket... So I for one would appreciate it being posted here. Thanks - G
For me, a half dozen NewPacs arrived today from minefarmbuy. (Thanks for the good pricing and great service). So now there's a total of 9 NewPacs on my Eyeboot USB3.0 powered hub - all are running at 400MHz (a step down for the original 3). They are running in two sessions of cgminer so one has 5 NewPacs and the other one has 4... All have been running solid for the first 5 hours - Expected hashrate each is 91.20 and 8 are running within 1% of that. One of the new arrivals is running at 70.98. But it has the lowest number of Hardware Errors...! I use a third cgminer instance for 2Pacs on the same hub. My Windoze10 gets wonky if I use a fourth instance, so there's no way I can --usb :1
I'm waiting on a couple of USB2.0 Hubs to add in, so the only thing I'll be doing this weekend is trying to push these NewPacs a little harder... The original three had been running well for the last 3 days after I had bumped them from 450 to 475 and two additional fans arrived today as well... All 9 NewPacs are running cool at 400MHz... ambient temperature is about 68F. I can hold any of them without any fear of burnt digits... For my 2Pacs, I can touch them but wouldn't want to hold them. They are running at 225MHz.
Thanks to GekkoScience and sidehack, vh and -ck, and all of you, for getting me to my first night of pushing over the 1 Th/s mark! It feels pretty good... and that will have to be a good enough excuse for me to test a few sips of Scotch... so to all a good night...
If you listen closely, you can hear the next block solve!
