You'd think one with the wits to acquire those miners at such a low price to be able to resell them and make a profit would have enough sense to bring photo evidence with the initial offer.

They are selling at a loss to build confidence in their company.

Bro, by the time he proves you wrong, these things will have flown off the shelf. I mean, just look at all the transactions to the bitcoin address from their website. 8 of the 12 are sold bro.

As of an hour ago 8 of the 12 Jupiters are sold. We still have four left for sale at 10 BTC a piece, I will bring the idea up to Niels in the morning, would have no issues doing a couple escrow purchases with a few USB erupters, or Blades. We want customers to believe in us. Not John K. About to go down stairs soon to snap some pics.

this is complete bullcrap

Down stairs to the R&D Warehouse?

Oh yeah hes the CEO (Joking) come on man.
I will

Not a problem what so ever, will have it posted by tomorrow after-noon. Any particular color shirt you request. Inside the ware house, with miners insight, and paper in hand, Hold me to it, Ill even post a pic of our research and development warehouse.

Please can you confirm that you did indeed buy some equipment from Trendon Shavers? If you can confirm this, then we can rest assured you are legitimate.

I'm excited to see your Research and Development warehouse for sure, I've never known a reseller of other companies' equipment, that does R&D

Innovative Mining Solutions

We offer the most realistic mining prices around, due to the increase of Bitcoin along with the expected surge in mining difficulty, we can offer prices that reflect the actual market. We resell new miners that were originally purchased in mass orders by mining companies who were effected by the influx in mining difficulty and delays on shipping.
                                                                      Niels Defoe, CEO
Each Miner is New refurbished, meaning these were opened by their original owner, never used.

We understand our website has numerous errors, we are in our start-up phase, and building customer feed back, hence the low price on the KnC's. Pay pal payments, along with bank transfers, will be available by next week. Many changes to site will be made in coming weeks,
All orders ship within 3 days.

Will be making changes to our website daily.

www.innovativeminingsolutions.com

e-mail us at
support@innovativeminingsolutions.com

I will purchase the remaining 7 units. Please consider them sold. In order for me to pay in bitcoin, I will need to make a bulk purchase of bitcoin, this will allow me to purchase the coins for below market value (At $149 per coin). InnovativeMiningSolutions: so that we can proceed, kindly use Western Union to send $12,684 USD to me, which will allow me to purchase the coins to send to you. Once I purchase the coins I will send the 84BTC (instead of 42BTC, so you make an extra 42BTC), I have used this method with several prominent BitcoinTalk users, so you can understand this is a method to enable us to both profit. Please let me know when the funds have been sent Via Western Union. Thank you.

Set> Hmm it never even occurred to me that some pools do let you specify the difficulty of shares you want.

I always just ifgured the pools are adjusting it based on how fast you get solutions to them, so as to slow you down or speed you up as they think best?

I was mining mmpool, not sure if it even has a way I can tell it a specific difficulty I'd like.

-MarkM-

EDIT: Okay apparently it is cgminer that I tell my desired difficulty to, I thought it used to be some add-on code you put in the pool URL or something but apparently it is a commandline argument to cgminer. What kind of diffuclty would be better? I am have been seeing pretty good hashing speeds. Also that killed remark seems to hint it is the O/S or the web scripts or something external to cgminer that is killing me not some error inside cgminer...

-MarkM-

Difficulty is set at the pool, not by the miner. Go to your pool's interface to change it or use a pool with a vardiff implementation. cgminer got killed likely because your device ran out of memory. There is also a --lowmem option which helps somewhat with this, but the beaglebone does have other things running consuming memory and cgminer might get targeted regardless.


Could running BurtMod be contributing to the memory issue, or does BurtMod only consume a tiny portion?

So the point many people are trying to make is not that they would have made more USD by buying BTC directly instead of a BFL miner but that they would have more BTC plain and simple. The exchange rate doesn't matter and your point is moot.

/school

but you are living in a vacuum of your own making..  you are surrounded by new entrants playing a different game

the 'ROI's are not based the same for everyone... since many people have creative ways to buy miners that they cant really do the same on buying BTC, then the cost basis drops which means they can mine less BTC and still make ROI

I know this is hard for the old skool stackers to understand and swallow, but just look around..  there must be a reason that pre-orders still sell well even though the BTC in / BTC out never adds up anymore right?

Not really disagreeing with you, just pointing out how things have changed

/reality



Very well put. I, for example, bought BFL hardware. I spent $22,500 on singles (Thanks to AMEX), ended up with 410BTC (and rising) sold 200ish @ $130 avg, so $26,000 return. Factor in interest on my card, I've got my card paid off, and about $1,000 in my bank account. That's a positive ROI.

Of course if I bought BTC with my $22k, I'd be sitting pretty, but the bottom line is I had a positive ROI (With 210+ BTC in unrealized gains). That being said, I paid in $USD, my ROI is based on $USD. Had I paid BFL in BTC, I may very well feel different.

Another way of looking at is, I bought a 1st gen iPhone, sold it on craigslist, made $200. But since I didn't buy AAPL @ $123 that day, I'm facing a negative ROI.

Con,

Are you seeing any of the error/hashing/fw issues all over the KNC boards? I'd sure love to not have a console full of this:

Have that issue with a bunk board, try .95 see if it gets it gone and allows you to see which module is bad
1273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: October 29, 2013, 01:57:33 AM

No they don't. They weren't given a choice because they didn't see my post.  If they saw my post they wouldn't buy the unit, because they'd know that it was a bad investment.
Man I wish I'd seen your post before I got all my units. Guess there's only 1 thing to do.... Anyone wanting to sell an in hand KNC unit, PM me. I'll pay 30BTC per Jupiter

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!!!
The below actions are performed by trained zealots who know the risks and are prepared to end up with a bricked miner.

There _IS_ a published way to unbrick a KnCMiner version of the BBB.

You make a uSD with SD_image_0.96.1.zip on it and boot on the uSD.
(you might have to find the uSD boot button on the BBB for this to work)
https://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/SD_image_0.96.1.zip

Original link to the file found here
https://www.kncminer.com/pages/support

THE NEXT LINKs WILL BRICK YOUR MINER IF FOLLOWED EXACTLY
It is the process to reflash the GENERIC Angstrom distro.
if you replace the generic img file with the img in the SD_image_0.96.1.zip you may end up with a working miner.

Win centric method
http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Circuitco_Support_Wiki

Linux centric method
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_software_update_process

This is risky to do and no support will be provided by me.
You have been warned!
Smiley

Another possible use of this info is to try KnC distro on stock BBB.
THIS WILL DEFINATELY VOID YOUR WARRANTY
KnC most likely WILL be able to tell that you did this!

YMMV

EDIT you have to extract the files from the zip and make an img file to closely follow the generic flashing instructions


Interesting. I'll have to give it a go on my stock BBB I ordered.
1275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: October 27, 2013, 02:57:12 AM
Anyone know why the voltages on our 3rd Jupi are higher than on the first two? I believe that as a result of the voltage being higher the temps are also higher. Also it is my understanding that if the Output Current is close to 0 than that die isn't hashing right? Also on this Jupiter I see a ton of these: "[time stamp] KnC: accepted by FPGA 1-21 works, but only 0 submitted"

I've tried .95, .96. .96.1 and .97 and .96 gives me the best performance so far, but at these voltages/temps. Also I did press gently on the copper bars of the heatsink and that seemed to have brought a couple die Output Current on par with the rest, but as you can see there is still a couple that are around 0. After downgrading to .96 this most recent time CGMiner restarts every 20 minutes, but the hash rate starts around 500-550 and drops to 350-380 before CGMiner restarts. You can see the stats here on Jupiter 3: http://54.243.221.120/






I've asked KnC for an RMA, but I'm hoping I can avoid that if there is a fix for this.

Any ideas?




Your input voltage seems really low, have you tried a different PSU?

I don't know where to buy some locally so I'm about to do some digging if you guys say yes they are required

By no means are they required. Could they possibly help? maaaaaybe. So I bought some. In fact, I bought enough for the 32VRM Jupiters. Now I have 2x too many

Here is my mod. That was the first thing to do back in August when I get thoose jet engines  Shocked





The tunel is back on without 92mm fan and the fan grills. With the original cooling the device was at 68C.
Now the device is with NB PWM 2000rpm model runing at 60-62C - 31.5 GH/s

best
2GOOD


Nice!
1279  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Single air flow? on: October 24, 2013, 02:47:55 AM
Cooling is much better when blowing through rather than sucking through a heatsink. As others have said, it takes a worse path when sucking through. This is because the pressure profile on either side of the fan isn't the same, its much stronger and compact on the blowing side.

Additionally, the rest of the PCB and components need airflow that a sucking arrangement wouldn't provide.

The singles come from the bfl factory both fans sucking up. I switched to blowing down, buttoned it back up and the temp increased. Don't know why but they got it right with the sucking.

Seriously? Fucking about with bits of cardboard in a multi thousand rig that's days old?

Mine arrives needing shit like that they will get it back, I paid for a working miner capable of a certain hashrate and anything less is not acceptable.
IT should have been here a fucking week ago too.

Read the site, what they are selling. That is what you should get. Simple as that. They don't deliver that, they are at fault.
You fucking about with it makes it vulnerable to them claiming you are out of warranty. Be careful.

Just fine tuning things, I'm sure yours will work just fine when it arrives, and you can just leave it running how it came, no one said you need to tweak it for extra performance.
