us1.ethermine.org:4444 is dead for me as of a little over 2 hours ago.
Yeah I noticed as well. Started switching over to us2 and then us1 came back. Looks like a short lived DDoS.

anyone having problems with shares in dwarfpool?
Mining seems to working normally but dwarfpool not showing anything posting for the last 10 hrs. Typically they will come out with a message saying everything is accounted for and they are working on it so not too concerned at the moment.
Look at Nicehash. Easy to set up.I just built a new desktop and was thinking of using my old one to mine. What's a good way to get started?
From a technical point-of-view, when is it expected that ETH will hit a difficulty wall forcing a switch to PoS? Isn't that supposed to happen before the year is out?
i got a rig with 3 rx470 nitro 4 gb from sapphire, but cant find it anymore, is it ok to buy a sapphire nitro 480 4gb?
I have the same issue with a 1080 Ti and 290X and couldn't find a way to get it to work without connecting a monitor to the 290X. I used a DP connection and the 290X wasn't controllable by (for clock and voltage changes) Afterburner without switching to the monitor input corresponding to the 290X.I have 2x290s in the other two pci-e slots but they will only even turn on if there is a monitor connected to at least one of them. I thought the days of requiring dummy plugs was over?
No 580 purchases yet (I don't expect any performance increases, but perhaps a bit better at lower voltages though once tweaked) but I grabbed a 4GB 460 for the Lolz.
Caught a silly sale on a Gigabyte no auxiliary powered card. I unlocked it to 1024 shaders and undervolted it to -96mv with MSI Afterburner. After some tweaks I'm pretty impressed with it. 11.5 - 12Mh at 40W (board power adds another 30 or so). This is within about 10W of my EVGA 1050 Ti however the 460 was roughly half the price and is much more responsive as a HTPC while mining. Also the fans are dead silent until about 45% and when mining it stays under 60C at 40%.
So if anyone is looking for a decent low powered HTPC / light gaming card that will likely pay for itself, the Gigabyte 4GB 460 works well.
I'm hoping I'll be able to flash it to a 560 in a few weeks
My last mining machine bluescreened this morning. I guess I am done with mining. Time to sell my cards and move on I guess.
EDIT: Thank you everyone in this thread for what was a very fun hobby that ended up being profitable. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Holy moly that ETH price increase! It would be a life changing amount of money in ETH if it reaches BTC levels of pricing...
