I did close down, but reopened about 2 months back with upgraded servers, stratum, and pool software. I posted notices in several locations, but the mods are cutting down on what is allowed to be posts and since my posts were "Hey!  btg.pnwminer.com is back up again!", they were all deleted.

Anyway, enjoy the Furies I broke down and bought a Zeus Miner Thunder X6 (the 18-20 MH/s one) last week and it is running like a champ! But I do agree with everyone else... it sounds like a jet engine going off. I need to take a vid of it and post it.
