Cryptocurrency Mining

Nope I still need fill the mother in law place with Rigs lol Got to make use of that 3 phase power !

Who has 3-phase power at their home? Is it like a separate source? Do they run a separate single phase DB for the home equipment?
 
Question - when you crash it, is it alive at all, like do you have to turn off at the mains?

The rig is still running but has frozen. I hold in the power button for 8 seconds to switch it off.

I was thinking maybe it'll be better to have something based on if you can ping the rig or not. If it's not reachable for longer than 5 minutes then use the reset switch to restart everything.
 
So ETH stops then everything crashes?

No idea. I still don't know what the dominant factor is in value creation: investment (and usage) or miners adding liquidity by trading their generated coins. The whole things is a bit of a blur. If none of the existing coins prove popular for anybody else than miners then something new will probably pop up perhaps even hybrid PoW/PoS alongside everything else that make promising coins promising.

Does hitting the reset button have the same effect as cycling the power to the machine, and would cycling the power be a viable solution?

Perfect...
you could work a few checks and balances in -
1) on the rig itself check every 30 seconds if the mining process is running, if not, restart the process, if that fails, reboot
2) with the Pi ping the rig every 30 seconds. If it fails, remote reboot the rig, if that fails, hard reset the PC from the Pi.
