Disclaimer: Electrical work can be very dangerous! I did this with nothing more than my wits and a few books on electricity. Only do this project if you are familiar with electrical safety! I take no responsibility for any electrical shocks, fire, or damaged equipment. 30 amps of 220v power is enough to cause serious injury and even death. That being said, I’ve run two of these at maximum capacity for the better part of year with no problems.
Not to mention in America it's required that you get a permit and have a license electrician do the work, this was if there is ever an electrical fire in your house due to your lack of getting a permit from the city and hiring an electrician your insurance company will walk away as they are not required by law to fix your house if you didn't follow the by-laws. I knew someone who did this and suffered dearly when their wiring shorted out causing a major fire. Once the fire marshal determined it was an electrical fire due to improper wiring the insurance company asked the home owner to see the permits on the house, when the saw there were no permits they walked away leaving the home owner empty handed and having to fix/rebuild their home. |

Does anyone make replacement ribbon cables for the Neptune? I want longer ones if that's possible? This way I don't have to bunch things together when I start building my outside box to them in for the winter.  If theres a place online could someone let me know. Thanks, |

Well people weren't kidding about PSU's catching fire when mining with the stock 18AWG wires. LOL I smelled something burning this morning so I when and had a look and one two of my PCI-E cables from my EVGA SuperNova NEX1500's were pretty black at the PSU end. The miners were all OK, no burning or discoloration. So now I have to wait a few days for the new cables to arrive for the UK. lol |

Question for you Neppy owners. I am thinking of buying a rubbermaid container and modifying it so I can put my Neppy, three PSU's, power cables and network cable inside then put the box outside on my balcony as I live in Canada and it tends start to must cooler this time of the year before winter hits. I wonder if anyone has done something like this and been able to figure out where to drill some holes for ventilation or if anyone has an some idea? Thanks, |

Is there something going on with the site?
The first 3 days where great, then I started noticing huge swings in the mining graph so I waited a bit, and the 3 hours to mining took 2 days to do, I restarted my Neptune and now its still doing the same thing.

Knc still need our money in 10nm miner, don't go 14nm, not improve their hashing power that much, just go 10nm, that will has signification enhancement.
The major problem of them is they shot on their foot, due to lack shipping and update information and so on, even through I love their product, I still don't understand why they are make us to heat them.
Likely the Neptune will be the last of their miners as it's clear they are moving the cloud mining, if there is a 14nm or 10nm chip it will only be in hardware they build for their own cloud. |

I've downloaded the exe client and am running it with "D:\Temp\relay\relaynetworkclient.exe public.au.relay.mattcorallo.com 127.0.0.1 8333" but I just get the following:
Closing bitcoind socket, failed to connect() (10049: Unknown error)
Closing relay socket, failed to connect() (10049: Unknown error)
What am I doing wrong?
10049 == WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740668(v=vs.85).aspx. Any chance you're still on XP or have IPv6 explicitly disabled somewhere, which I think I might have broken in a recent push. It's server 2012 r2. I don't think ipv6 is disabled but I'll check. It was disabled. Now its enabled but not configured and I still get the same error. I left it running overnight and it started blocking my bitcoind connection and took my node offline. Disable the firewall. |

In your thread on legal actions against KNC you say KNC boards need a CE marking. But only devices that fall within specific CE directives need CE markings.
I cannot see how the KNC miner falls under any directive. It is not a medical device. It uses 12V which is well under the directive limit of 50V. It is irrelevant where the 12V comes from.
Yes, I see that and that's why I have written "may" need CE marking. However, why would a 12V halogen bulb have the CE marking? .No, my case is not built on this and I don't need to include it. The consumer vs. business issue may be the most promising route. I think the fire hazard and low safety of their equipment simply adds to the case, as it is a very good reason for a consumer to cancel an order. The halogen bulb needs a CE marking because the EU has directives covering the energy efficiency and labelling of lamps. For example 2009/125/EC. Lamp efficiency is a big issue in all countries. With regard to taking legal action against KNC as a consumer, you may need to establishing you did not buy the bitcoin miner as an item of manufacture or production. If you brought it for "economic purpose" you appear to not be covered under EU consumer law. For a general overview of the EU definition of consumer see http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/bibliotheque/briefing/2013/130477/LDM_BRI(2013)130477_REV1_EN.pdf. I suggest you view your KNC preorder as an expensive lesson, put it behind you and get on with life. Well said! |

Advanced Tuning, as KNC calls it, on the Neppy's, if I go up to 500Mhz do I leave the voltages along on each die or do I need to lower or up them? If I need to up them what's been the best setting?
Thanks

Are you a KnCMiner customer, feel abused by their fraudulent business practices and and have considered a legal route? Did you query and got replies from consumer agencies? Please check my threads and contribute if you can! I'm collecting replies from authorities and lawyers, as well as collecting points that may be useful for legal action here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=781435I've also started a thread to get an idea whether there is enough interest in a class action lawsuit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=781422Make sure you confirm that this fraud is illegal in Sweden before you contact the authorities or you will be the biggest fool. That's alright. I'd rather be a fool that speaks up than a fool that remains silent. Also, if you have read through my thread you'd see that I collected a few points indicative for fraud. Someone's got to get Sam Cole out of his Scam Hole! Here is something to think about lawsuits takes YEARS and millions of dollars until they go to court and and or settlement is reached. Overseas lawsuits take even longer, because of where the parties are located. I knew someone growing up as a kid who's brother in the UK stole her half of her families fortune. Her brothers and sisters went to the same school's that Prince Charles went to at the same time he was attending; to give you some idea of their wealth. Anyhow 10 years into and there was still no resolution or settlement. She lived here in Canada as a Canadian Citizen while her brother lived in the UK. I am not sure when it did finally come to a close but the point is do you have the time and money and get into this wit KNC? I mean do you not think that KNC hasn't already been told by other angry people that they are gong to coming after them legally that they themselves haven't consulted their own lawyers? Good luck is all I can say. But make sure you really look at the pros and cons of doing this and weigh in by asking yourself if it's really worth it in the end? I hope you can find yourself a few wealthy people who are willing to go through with it. Notice I said wealthy and no rich? There is a difference between the two classes of people. |

Sorry and just to clarify, I should be making 0.02x ~ 0.03x bitcoins with my neptune right?
What happens if I start only make 0.007x in bitcoins?
Thanks,

Is latency on a P2Pool really only for when miners are connected to it from the outside or is it something more?
Thanks,

P2Pool Latency & Optmization
Q: How do see what my p2pool's latency is and optimize it?
I have seen seen stuff listed under an OLD thread here "called FUD or something" but I guess the real question is how do you know exactly what the latency is?
My Neppy and P2Pool are connected to the same physical network.

If you are mining on P2Pool.org you are paying a 100% fee!I was afraid this might happen... After 2 weeks of being pointed to http://minefast.coincadence.com with instructions to switch nodes, and an additional week of being completely offline I restarted the p2pool node at p2pool.org at a 100% fee, there is still over 800GH/s mining there. On Thursday when we launch the new site it will become apparent why we are running p2pool.org at a 100% fee. Anyway, if those are your miners and you do not want to contribute 100% of your mining power to p2pool.org, you may want to move them to another node  huh? |

Does anyone know what the maximum operating temp is on the Neptune?
Thanks,
My setup for many months: Mining Status Miner Status Running CGMiner (pid=21448) Last Checked Sat Sep 13 04:12:33 UTC 2014 Avg. Hash Rate 3575 Gh/s WU 49886 Difficulty Accepted 273455155 HW Status ASIC slot Temperature DC/DC avg temp Clock Type 1 --- --- --- OFF 2 58.5 ℃ 79.6 ℃ 500 MHz NE 3 56.5 ℃ 79.3 ℃ 500 MHz NE 4 59 ℃ 80.3 ℃ 500 MHz NE 5 57.5 ℃ 78.4 ℃ 500 MHz NE 6 55.5 ℃ 75.8 ℃ 500 MHz NE Ambient temp has been 35C to 40C.... What does the power consumption show on your Advance page of your miners web console? On mine which is running at 475Mhz its 1440W. |

Does anyone know what the maximum operating temp is on the Neptune?
Thanks,
I am pretty sure they will run in ambient as high as 50C. They don't like it there, but they will run there. Here is one suffering the effects of pretty high ambient with the afternoon heat.  When you match this up with a local weather outlook, it correlates perfectly! The ambient temp / heat drives the hashrate down. The worse case scenario was 50C This is good to know thanks.. Now I need to figure out a design for a big cardboard box so I can run my Neppys outside in the winter time. |

Question for some one cleverer than me: Will the user who's flooding my node with high DOA's have any affect on my nodes performance or any other users income? If not, I don't mind leaving it on, but if it's affecting other miners income, I'll have to ban it - but I'd hate to do that.....rather help him/her get it sorted. Ta As long as your server can handle the load of all the combined miners it should not be an issue. Have the same problem on Coin Cadence, very high DOA, absolutely kills the node efficiency stats... ... Essentially, you can blame dead shares on your miner configuration and orphan shares on internet latency.
I'm going to look into providing efficiency stats on a per miner basis. and it's reasons like this why orphan % is much more important to look at than DOA, if you're mining on some p2pool other than your own. every "guide" i've seen either says to select the lowest latency p2pool or whichever is 'closest' to you. *boggle* my lower orphan rate on my germany server more than made up for the near zero DOA I got from running locally. it's simple to calculate expected DOA %'s based on latency, as long as there is little to no packetloss (should be less than 1%) Is there anything that can be done to improve the latency slightly, some formula or rule of thumb, on a p2pool miner other than moving it to a colocation on a 10 or 100Mbit/sec connection? Thanks, |

I did the git pull on my p2pool then restart my pool and got 13.4-24-gf0eeb48-dirty as the version number. Is this correct or is there something that I am missing?
Thanks,
No, that's not the latest version. Are you using the standard p2pool code, or someone's fork (like rav3n)? Hey Jonnyb, 13.4.-24 isn't the latest version. 13.4-52 is the latest version. I wasn't paying attention until tonight when I did a git pull on my p2pool folder and noticed this error: error: Your local changes to 'p2pool/web.py' would be overwritten by merge. Aborting. Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. I looked the error up and it provided two solutions. 1 which I used, git reset --hard, git pull. This updated everything and when I start my P2Pool again the version number jumped up to 13.4-52 NOTE: for anyone who does this, BACKUP your WEB-STATIC folder otherwise all your changes will be gonzo, like mine! LOL (live and learn) The only reason why I decided to update tonight was over the last couple of days new fixes to the p2pool code was added. |

Answers like this make most people cut down their coins by 0.001 and risk it. This a community that people are supposed to help one another, and not make it hard for people to find the answers to things.  Dude. Answers like what? I'm trying to help you, seriously. I would hardly call using the search button "hard", it's there for exactly that reason, to help you find answers to questions amongst 100's of pages.....I use it all the time, in fact, I'd be lost without it - it's how I get all my info & how I learn a whole lot more besides. But OK, I will refrain from trying to help you from now on. Sorry. OK |
