No of course, it's my prediction, based on my reasoning.

Your "reasoning" is clouded by being a knc-fanboi. The hashrate is not going to "level out" for quite some time.

Think about it. This shipment has been the most disruptive major volume of hashrate unleashed upon the network in a short period of time. You're seeing the effect of that. KnC aren't shipping for another month. Who else is going to have such a marked effect in that time? When they do ship on the following occasion it's unlikely to be equal to what's shipping now, and even if it was it wouldn't have the effect the current outlay will, because the current shipment will already be part of the total network hashrate at that point. They will not be shipping anything like what they are shipping now PLUS what already existed. Therefore the increase will not be as proportional and be more incremental. What you are seeing now will be the largest single increase - proportionately - for a given finite period.

Why would you use logic instead of FUD? You don't make sense here in these forums.

Put your bitcoin where your mouth is schmuck.

5BTC says they will not have completed all shipping by 19th.

Held by escrows.

LOL what's your order number again?
Didn't accept my bet. Pathetic. You are all talk. Spineless mouths on the internet.

Coming from the guy who starts talking about diamonds on Saturn when he's called out as a troll? You have zero credibility unless even if you prove you are not a troll. You've been called out and refused to answer.

The purpose of these exponential growth projections is to help those inexperienced with bitcoin network difficulty realize that what they should be focusing on is BTC return over the lifetime of the product.

Considering the risks associated with any pre-order it is time that manufacturers also consider the customers situation when pricing the $ value of the unit.

Avalon did it well on their first and second batches pricing wise vs number of units to be sold. Wish they would have been able to deliver them in volume.

Here is a link to something that I feel is my optimistic view as respects network difficulty.

Please understand that an exercise in awareness rarely is doing disservice to others.

I understand what you're saying, and I do think that Genesis block and the other companies have given people more tools on this than have ever been provided before.  I just don't want people to think the future is that bleak...It is pretty bleak, don't get me wrong...just not THAT bleak.

I could not agree more Smiley

So by July ASICs will ship in such vast quantities that difficulty will rise nearly 4 Billion every 12 days?

As you called me out on the other thread Bitcoinorama, I'll answer here so everyone can see.



You are absolutely barking mad. The reason you wrote the above was because you were called upon to prove you were a customer.

And you said you would seeing as you are intent on defaming a company that's bending over backwards to fulfill it's orders depsite whatever fud is being thrown at it currently.

So, as you promised; order number, what that order contains, and general location it's being shipped to.

I don't believe you are a customer, I do believe you are a troll...
I'll send you a photo when it arrives Bitcoinorama. In the meantime, suck my dick. I don't have to answer to some internet forum shill.

And I don't see an update on where the fuck my miner is shill boy. Go do that.

I second this, Avenger: you aren't a KNC customer, if you are, prove it. You've said a whole lot so far, completely fearless, I'm calling you out.

1289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: October 14, 2013, 04:46:07 AM
10 more pages of nothing.

how many units went out over the weekend?

how many rigs are now 'in progress' and for how many days already?

are you still 'confident' that all orders will be 'shipped' by midnight???

or is it midnight of the 15th?


chips with 1's & 3's & chips totally disabled Huh

also 8 vs 4 vrm???

why miners who are actually mining report better performance with additional cooling are called liars/dishonest/foolish/stupid by the only mouthpiece KnC wishes to engage who has no miner and little to no personal experience with the performance of the rigs?

extra BBB/PCB's to turn Jups with shitty performance Into Sats with 'expected' performance albeit with TWO PSU's???


answers on a postcard, no crying allowed pitypoorme-orama.



You aren't very nice to someone who goes out of his way to help you without any compensation. Why don't you bitcoin to him if you want answers.

Will that take some heat off the PSU to cool it down some?

Find out. Many (though mostly older) PSU's need a minimum load on the 5v or they dont regulate properly. This can cause severe issues, like high fluctuations on the 12V.
Just connect a cdrom drive, light bulb, hdd or whatever to put a minimum load on the 5V and see if it makes a difference. If it doesnt help, its not going to hurt either.

Steady the 3.3v Rail

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JUMP-START-EPS-ATX-24-PIN-POWER-SUPPLY-WITHOUT-A-MOTHERBOARD-MADE-IN-USA-/251029042274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a727f3462


what do you all think is this iittle add a 3.3v load device on  the power on your knc miner power supply really gonna help any?

or is it smoke/mirrors..?

need to get one anyway if this seems better then making my own ...what the heck I can spring 9 bucks for 2 of them

(alas I know zip about this just trying to cover my butt in that they sent me 11k of stuff with no SWITCHES.....jeez...I must be outta my frigging mind btc/asic endeavors!)


Searing

It won't do anything.

A little about how a power supply works.   It has to rectify AC power into DC power and it also has to step down the voltage to a level used by computers.  Namely that is 12V, 5V & 3.3V.  

At one time power supplies did rectification and step down to all three voltages

So if you will excuse my horrible ASCII art


120/240VAC --------[AC to 12VDC conversion] ----->  12VDC out
                           |
                           |--[AC to 5VDC conversion] ------>  5VDC out
                           |
                           |--[AC to 3.3VDC conversion] ---> 3.3VDC out

This worked fine when load on all three rails was relatively balanced but efficiency is generally low and when the rails are out of balance efficiency suffers even more.


Two things occurs in roughly that last decade.  The first is that 3.3VDC and 5VDC isn't really used for any significant load.  At one time they were used to directly power CPU, memory, motherboard logic, etc.  However the operating voltage of modern components (including ASICS) is <1 VDC.  The power requirement for a motherboard also increased significantly.   A high end CPU, memory, and motherboard can pull 200W+.  On multi-CPU servers with large banks of memory this can be 500W or more.  500W @ 5VDC = 100A.  You would need a cable the size that connects to your car battery to handle that safely.    So motherboards contain their own DC to DC regulators.   The powersupply pumps in 12VDC the motherboard converts it to whatever it needs.  

The second was the "80Plus" program and it became a big marketing campaign.   People began buying more efficient PSU and it became increasingly hard to design a PSU that
could deliver massive current on the 12V rail, operate with minimal or no load on 3.3V, and still remain very efficient.

Today almost all high end (500W+) PSU use a concept call direct DC conversion.   Since the majority of the load is on the 12V rail ALL the power is converted to 12VDC.  Then the small 3.3V and 5V loads are converted off the 12V rail.

120/240VAC ----->  [AC to 12VDC conversion] ------->  12VDC out
                                   |
                                   |-----[12VDC to 5VDC conversion] -------> 5VDC out
                                   |
                                   | ----[12VDC to 3.3VDC conversion] ------> 3.3VDC out

putting an extra load on 3.3VDC rail does nothing.  Absolutely nothing.


I love this guy!

showoff..  Shocked

Looks nice. Grin


20K cost if you bought in at old prices???  When did you have your units delivered (I'm envy to see if you made ROI unlike me  Grin)

If they were FPGA trade-ins break-even ROI in USD might have been reached long before they were delivered.

They have just barely brought in double what they cost.

the networking page attempt(s) crash the miner
Huh

at some point you just have to call someone with an ounce of IT skills.  You are all over the place tripping on yourself


I've got news for ya... I've had a few savvy IT peeps trying to get the miner just to run... using teamviewer & other interfaces....  Ya know who got it to run...?
I did...    from info shared in here, bit by bit......  amen
and btw... its connected to an ethernet switch...to laptop, which uses my android....    many pros said it couldnt be done, and tried to help... and I thank them for that... but fact is...   its running now, the ip thing is solved I'm thinking, but simply cant change the miner thru the web interface to "save" the configging... ssl is the only way I am able to access the miner, and physically start cgminer, and physically enter all the info evrry time any hiccup happenz
0.94 indeed stopped the crashing, but hashes just a tad less, at around 260

sounds stable as a 3 legged table





1298  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: I have intel with NVIDIA and what is easiest cheapest way to start mining? on: October 10, 2013, 02:52:28 AM
It is not completely true that nVidia card will not work, but it is true that nVidia cards without support of OpenCL will not.
For example, if you try nVidia GT240 it will work.
You have to check if you card supports OpenCL.
Other thing is that architecture of AMD video cards is much better can be used for mining, so even very powerful gaming nVidia cards have lower hash speed than mid range AMD cards.


P.S. I recommend you to mine litecoins, as mining bitcoins using video card is not profitable anymore.


My nvidia care has no support for OpenCL, and cannot use CUDA either.


I was reading about these raspberry pi things that cost $25-$35 or so, and use very little electricity.
What about those? ( I noticed that these raspberry pi things don't use windows operating system though, so I would need to get a different operating system it seems in order to use this for mining bitcoins).

I don't know much about the block erupters. I read a bit about that too.

If I exchange my Nvidia card for one of the amd ati cards that is good for mining, would my pc then be able to mine bitcoins, with just putting in an amd ati radeon graphics card?


Just get you a pair of Raspberry Pi units, and install Pi-Miner. Sync the two units with PI-Miner so the first one is on a phase shift of 180 degrees. Use a heatsink on the first, but NOT the 2nd raspberry Pi.

Since im paying .08kw/h, I should be "good" for a littlewhile longer.
I still plan to mine btc at a cost of (unlimited) Fiat to gain some of the Limited bitcoin amount
I'll basically be buying bitcoins with electricity XD

Do you have any good quality XFX 7950's? (non double D)
They are rocksolid cards if you get a good one, I RMA'd mine twice, The third one i got feels immortal
Read a forum post where a guy had like... 40 RMA's of this specific card, But he kept RMAing them because he knew how good they were when Properly checked through QC


What, you don't like the Double D XFX? I RMA'd that damn thing 4x, in 4 months, didn't even run the fans fast, couldn't get a month before 1 fan or the other died. I've got it sitting in the warehouse right now with 2 delta fans on it, man it kept cool, haven't tried to sell it, cause what gamer wants a 7970 with 2 delta fans attached? I do suppose some of you might want it, if so, PM me.
