Willing to sell the module?

Is the pool working good now? Guy a page back said it's not

With my MSI 7950's this is what I use:

tc: 40960
engine: 1100
memory: 1500
powertune: 20
intensity: 20

That'll net 680-690kh around 75-80* on the Twin Frozr, or 55-60 with the Prolimatech MK26 cooler (I <3 this cooler! silent and super cool)

I have some more aggressive settings for the MSI which will push it to 710/720.

May I ask what equipment you have? I'm basically curious/jealous/in-awe haha

It wasn't a swipe at you or anyone, I was just saying I think it would be a cool feature. Interwebs doesn't pass tone very well

good to hear. I'd switch systems over but right now am raking in some other coins. Soon hopefully. Keep us posted.

Maybe if pool operators could email the registered users when their pools were back up, then we'd switch back quicker?

any reliable pools?

should we use the connect statement for bcx's IPs for tagbond-qt?

tons of tag in my wallet (which has been backed up a few times over), don't want to lose any

I think the power issue isn't so much paying the bill, but the wiring involved. Most US houses these days, you might be able to squeeze out 2..MAYBE 4kw circuit. Beyond that you need subpanels, and ideally dedicated panels. Most folks won't do that unless they're already balls deep (like Phoenix for example).

Personally, let's say I could only support 2kw, I'd feel almost ill owning a miner which can only do 3TH because of the limitation, knowing that if I had more power it could go twice as fast. It's like paying 2x as much for a miner than you need to. I have a feeling the Neptune will be able to hit 5 or 6TH in the right conditions.

Yes, KNC has done well with their timing. I also point to their 'protect the network' claim as part of this. They're using it as an excuse for timing, but to save themselves from a bad reputation regarding time-to-market (such as what befell BFL).

The safest bet for a quality design which will exceed the specified hash rate and will definitely ship sometime in 2014, is KNC. There's no doubt.

I have a feeling, however, the other companies will stick to 28nm for awhile and cater toward the house-based mining folk, as it appears KNC is propelling toward more industrial consumers.

If you were to spend money on a miner right now, your best bet is KNC. To me, there's too many variables with what the returns will be like in 4-6 months, I'd rather find something now and burn it up until it's no longer viable, and move forward with the earnings.

To the folks who've added KNC modules, how did you do your cooling? I saw some custom setups recently, but can't find what page they were on. Someone I know has modules but not the metal mounting bars, so trying to figure out a way to solve that for them.

Don't everyone cash out at once.. that causes drops lol!

Whether you have a Block Erupter or 30 Jupiters, you are part of this huge piece of history. This is no small step. This currency form, or a derivative, will likely be in place centuries from now. And we were all a part of it.

Feels good to be one of the few to say, I was one of the first to break ground in cryptocurrency!

It's been speculated a lot. Some folks are saying it will at the least bring back 10-15btc within 90 days. My safe projection is about 5btc within 45 days.

If you paid in BTC, of course you want to make the same amount back, or more. If you paid in fiat, then your viewpoint of ROI will be different.

For me, i'd rather pay in fiat if I could order one.


This is another reason I call BS on the whole 'protect the network' claim. They will take a ton of orders and happily fulfill them. AS has been said earlier, difficulty in mid-late 2014 is going to be a shizzfest, and only profitable to industrial setups.

Bitcoin will certainly have a crazy jump in price over the next year I have no doubt--how much in 2014 is the question. So mining at home will still bring something in, but we will soon see the days when the jupiter is getting .01 per month. Better hope that .01 is worth like $400 or something.

Glad I could help!


So you can pay in women.. what might you have to offer..?

LOL.. I thought it was interesting he said he appreciated my effort, and then pointed back to Wesley

So many dynamic individuals out here on the interwebs.

I wish him and Wesley best of luck, and will continue to beg for folks to use my referral link haha

Why are you presuming it shouldn't have bought or sold when it did? It bought low and sold high, right?

One way to do it is via your Buy2/Sell2 thresholds to make sure the difference is higher, the other way would be to increase your long EMA.

Sometimes gotta play with both to find what works for you. If you wanted it to ride out the 918$ dip, an easy way to do it would be increase your long EMA.

The downside is, if there is an actual dive, instead of selling at 918, the bot might have sold below 799.. depending on the settings.

Or if anyone wants to "help protect the network", they can use my reseller link and help me get a Neptune, since I can't get one on my own lol

Not sure why he's blaming Orama for this.. but I do feel where he's coming from (yet, wouldn't blame Orama). I <3 KNC and their quality products, don't get me wrong, but I'm also capable of separating my fandom and calling BS on some stuff. And I'm definitely flagging them right now.

1. They had the capability to limit the modules to just Mercury/Saturn orders, despite claiming otherwise or saying they weren't sure how to handle it. Anyone who runs a database backend to serve a website ordering system, has the capability. If they claim they don't, then something is way off base. They could've simply limited it to Mercury/Saturn purchasers, X number of them for Y amount of time, at Z price, after which they would be available for anyone to purchase.

This would be similar to what they're doing with the Neptune--only previous customers can get them, X number, for Y amount of time, at Z price. The very thing they claim they couldn't do regarding the modules! So.. BS on that.

The reality is they wanted to firesale the units to clear out stock, and be mostly done with the 28nm systems. With such a good rep on fast delivery, they can then say "well hey we're out of our current product.. so PREORDER with us for our even BETTER product", and folks will bite that fishook.

2. They talk about protecting the network.. but really? I'm flagging that. In reality, it's likely a business move which buys them time to take care of matters on their end (which can be good), and provides them a get-out-of-jail-free card with regard to selling "from stock/off the shelf". This is a key point. Protecting the network is all about ADDING hashrate, not witholding it.

What they're ACTUALLY doing is trying to prevent the BFL Bugger, where so many orders are being shipped that some people get their equipment and it doesn't even mine anything due to such a high difficulty.

That's not protecting the network, that's covering their ass so they don't get bad reviews similar to BFL.

Anyone who understands mining would know that withholding hashrate isn't protecting the network, it's just helping keep the difficulty down so you can profit from mining (KNC mines also, keep that in mind).

Anyhow.. I have confidence they can pull off the 20nm stuff, and their designs are without equal right now, but I just think they burned a few bridges in order to open up a few pathways to the industrial side of mining. In the longrun, it will be professionally hosted sites and industrial-based home setups which will carry bitcoin. It's clear KNC is positioning themselves to be the #1 hardware supplier of those customers, and is leaving the consumer/foundational miner behind.

Anyone who doesn't see that, has blinds over their eyes.

And Orama, I wouldn't be to sharp to say Cointerra's chips are being rated at "maximum" output. There just may be some surprises in store.

Just my .02

I'm not doing any altcoin trading right now, haven't had time to sit in front of a computer.. but I at least have some from when I mined it, so I'm happy!

Some estimates have been tossed around.. some are saying it will break even, maybe 2 or 3btc over at most. Some are saying it won't make half that.

BTC value is what's going to be the catalyst. If it only mines 4btc in its lifetime, but the value is 2..3..4$kUSD.. then it's done a good job.

Can't afford them. My best hope was getting a mercury module, but of course they went to all of the quick sharks. Just figured, since people are buying these like hotcakes, they could use a referral link lol.
