Your advice is good and I agree.

My question is a bit more subtle though: Is it really possible for a mining pool to run for months unattended?

How do the server bills at Amazon get paid. (and with what? it can't make much more then about $10 a day in fees). What happens if a coin changes software? an exchange changes interface? and Huh

I realize that no one with answers seems to be talking but the more I think about it the stranger it seems.
Sure.

Not hard to pre-pay for a server for a year.  Litecoin hasn't had any hard-forks, and exchange APIs changing to the point of breaking compatibility with existing software is pretty unlikely.

Those are plausible answers. As a software developer though, I can't help worrying about all the moving parts. I guess we just have to wait for it to break and see if anyone fixes it.

I think h2o was always a one man show so he was probably always working to make it as automatic as possible. In which case, good job 2 -- you bastard Smiley.
