Yeah it did look like speculation. If the price is sensible and we find out before my next Vegas materialise from Amazon.fr then I'd be up for a Giant B.
Who else is running Cryptonight by the way? I get a lot of 'SOCKET ERROR - RECEIVE error: socket closed' errors in both Cast-XMR and XMR-Stak (several versions of this one too including current), at which point it stops mining and waits to reconnect. It could be a minute or two before it restarts. This happens regardless of which pool its on, although Nicehash is much worse than MiningPoolHub, and it hardly did it at all on Electroneum so I wonder if its related to difficulty? Its all over the place on Github and Reddit but there are no solutions - just comments that if you're not finding shares fast enough the pool will disconnect, but it happens way more often than the alleged 10 minute timeout. 3.7KH/s really ought to be fast enough not to time out!
While I've been mining for myself I've just put up with it, but its a problem on MiningRigRentals because it seriously messes with my average hash rate thusly:
Each of these valleys is one of these events.
Ainars - I had a look at your rigs on MRR and they appear to exhibit the same behaviour. Have you noticed this error?
Has anyone else seen / solved it?
