The whole website is down now.

Has maintenance been completed? Manual payments are still disabled. Been trying for almost two days to get a payment out.

I have been trying to do a manual withdraw for most of the day and I have had no success. Every time I try I simply get this error:

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

I have been mining with another pool for months and have decided to finally give p2pool a try. I am having problems getting it to work. I have the bitcoin client setup and in server mode with the conf file setup as indicated with a username and password I chose.

When I try to run the p2pool software I keep getting the following errors:

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using windows 7 64 if that helps.

I am certainly not advocating for Clearwire, only that it has worked for me. I chose Clearwire because I pay $25(US) a month for the service and I have no contract and can cancel it at anytime. M speed is capped at 1.5Mbs down and .5Mbs up, but that is sufficient speed for mining.

I am using Clearwire (4g) (Sprint uses same network) for four machines (around 5Mhs) and have been running for a while with no problems. I am getting the expected amount of shares using the service and I haven't had any problems with the connection. My data plan is unlimited, but I can tell you unless you are running other programs that use the connection, mining will not come close to hitting your data cap.

Has anyone had any success running a 7970 and 6990 on the same motherboard? I have two 7970s and two 6990. I would like to combine them onto one board instead of having two separate mining machines. I wanted to know if anyone has done this successfully before I start this project so I know what is involved, especially dealing with driver issues.

The reason is that the location where I am putting these machines I don't have to pay for electricity, but don't have a readily available internet connection. I do have I 4G LTE account with verizon that I only use when I travel which is a couple days a month. The rest of the time the service doesn't get used so if I could use it as the internet connection for these servers then I wouldn't have to worry about getting another internet connection for that location.

I am using water cooling primarily for noise issues. Since I run my rigs in my office at work, I need to minimize my noise levels so I can still work at the same time.

Are these still available?

Will it be offered in digital format?

I mined here for a little while, but I decided to go to a pool that prevents pool hopping. As I looked at the statistics of each new block a huge influx of miners would come in for a couple of hours, and then disappear leaving the rest of us mining the entire time, but a large percentage going to those with large hash rates that just stay long enough to maximize their profits. I don't necessarily think there is anything wrong with the hoppers, but I just prefer not to mine at a pool that allows it to happen.

If I am running three bitmining rigs each at around 2GH for a total of 6GH, how much bandwidth would they use in one month? The reason I ask is I use a 4G service that gives me 5GB a month and I want to make sure I am not going to go over that limit.

Thanks
