I JUST GOT 48 F'ing cores online/a dead die is ALIVE, first try with enablecores.bin on firmware .94!
I'm glad. Was getting a 486ghs(avg) in CG now getting after a few min 516ghs(avg) WOAH!! All I did was stop CGminer by pressing q inside it, then I applied the enablecores.bin and rebooted. I'm an 8 VRM Jupiter guys DO THIS, stop waiting.
so let check if I understand this correctly. 1) u where running on 0.94 @ 486GH/s 2) you have a die on one of your ASIC slot with all 48cores disabled. 3) you stopped cgminer 4) apply enablecore.bin from web interface 5) click on the reboot link in the web interface. 6) after that you're mining @ 516GH/s is it right ? HAHA yes I know it's wild! To be more specific my 5 second before was 505+- 10ghs with a usually solid 486 CG average. After the enablecore.bin procedure you reiterated above I'm getting 5 second going from 510 to 550ghs and a solid 514 avg as i type no issues to report at the moment. I'm going to let this run for a while and update later. Hopefully .94 doesn't play the slow down game with me anymore as it use to after 4-6 hours of hashing. If it does I'll just fix it with a halt and a 2 min cool down every 6 hours which puts me back on a plane for hours. Becoming less hostile to KNC by the share lol  thanks again for sharing! I'm in your precise situation. to add some other info: I wasn't able to run my miners with .92 nor .93 due to very frequent cgminer restart so I sticked with 0.91 for quite a while. I've briefly use .94 and switch to .95 as soon as it was published. One last question: On the "once" flaky die how many cores enabled do you have now ? |

ok I missed how you tell if cores are working or not? where is that I just see temps on my kncminer screen The 'kfcminer' screen spits out a message: [2013-10-aa dd:ii:kk] KfC: core 0-36 was disabled due to 10 HW errors in a row searing use this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3376180#msg3376180it's almost impossible to keep track of the cgminer output as long as you don't redirect the console output on a file. edit1: I do agree with Xialla about frequency of your posts.. try to consolidate |

I've been busy getting everything converted over to R.
fantastic! as a long time R user I can say: wise move |

don't even bother to look at Gox, especially if you are located in the US. it's almost impossible to fetch fiat from there. To get a more balanced estimate of BTC value look at bitstamp et al. I've had a Gox account since April... never had a problem. The dough always comes, allbeit a bit slow. I'm glad good for you, I've heard a lot of horror stories about people trying to fetch fiat via bank wires, especially for USD located person. I've to say that the amount of money those stories are about are quite high, thou. |

Hi guys, so I played a little with firmware settings, voltage (0.7 / 0.9) and after a few restarts I now have my Mercury running stable at 130 GH/s and only have ~15 cores disabled instead of 40 cores with firmware 0.90 and enablecore.bin. I made a few photos from the ASIC board and found out that the VRM with an output voltage from 0.9V they reach temperatures over 89°C. Here is an album I made: http://imgur.com/a/wVSbqSorry but maybe I missed some news along the way. Are you able to change voltage at will? Or are you saying that using 0.90 fw means using higher voltage, while 0.95/96 lower voltage? edit1: very nice pics by the way |

Kano, any thing that can be done to correct this.....is it firmware to hardware, hardware to software.....I notice on .96 that when a block is found, the miner regains speed quicker...would like to see the 20% errors go away, then maybe the pool server will truly see 250GH/s.
No idea how to fix hardware error rate. I don't have a KFC to even try. if memory serves KnC should have sent a miner to ckolivas and Luke-jr. I've asked to Luke-jr for confimation and he confirmed. didn't ask to ckolivas. anyway I supposed they have sent on to you too, is it true? I'm not either of them so they didn't send you a miner? bad bad knc. I suppose you can use the ckolivas', no ? He lives ~1000km away from me - so really no different to being on the other side of the planet. Nothing than I thought you live on the same city but obviously I was wrong. Instead you live on the same continent. |

That phone home address seems local to me. Correct me if wrong.
u are right, but as he said it could be used in knc hosting facility ot manage fw update and admin tasks |

and what's the hashrate reported by your pool? |

I will not go to 0.96.
0.95 is great for me.
Firmware 0.95
-560W
-545Gh/s
-50C°
-2% HW errors
-open case
stay there and don't move 564 @ the pool or on cgminer? |

Does disabled cores get re-enabled over time or does it mean that once they are disabled, we will need to install the enablecores.bin to turn them back on again?
i see them get re-enabled, but not sure if this is for all miners, i've heard of some locking and thats when this bin file comes into play. so after applying 0.96 the die with all 48 cores disabled have all cores enabled back ? you should check this file /config/asic_test in your miner or just run asic_status.pl from bermod to find out the cores state edit: did you notice any difference in terms of performance? |

I do not have my miner
I wait it back from knc
rigth you told me. sorry I forgot. I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to apply the new firmware |

Any news about core off
Can make it core on???
hi jelin I won't be able to test it this morning (maybe tomorrow) but it seem that if you have a lot of diabled core 0.96 http://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/enablecores.bin (see support page for instaructions) should help. |
