Finally back into mining. Cleared the 0.3.8.1 off my computer, and went back to the 0.3.8 version that was working. Still don't know what was causing all the Java issues but at least I am mining again. Came across some great HDs today. I live in Germany but run a soccer academy for the American children living here. On the military posts they were selling the WD My Book (4TB, USB 3.0) for $109. Now that is a price I have not been able to find anywhere.
They had 25 of them so I will have to go shopping this week. Of course I will not buy all of them but one or two might be nice :D
