I do lov ya Orama, in a brotherly way....and vesper well I appreciate your effort....but reality is we spending some serious coin and any little help we can get is the way to go right now.....if all bodes well on our trip to NEPTUNE, Orama, you def. will receive a token of appreciation from me....and yes you have had to defend yourself and knc....and done a respectable job of it. Your efforts shall be rewarded, you shall see. So on that note....Neptuners to be....consider Wesly! https://www.kncminer.com/?resellerid=354https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348743.msgCome join the party...nothing to lose and bitcoin to gain!! Ok tone it down, your promotion of wesley is starting to look a bit sycophantic |

I'm surprised they don't throw in a few free t-shirts and a night with bitcoinorama to get people to part with their btc today  You get that if you buy 10  |

How are you paying for these ? I'm not seeing how to order them on the KNC page.
If you are an existing customer (i.e. purchased hardware from KnC before), login to your account, then when you click on "Bitcoin Mining Hardware" you will see the Neptune for sale. |

An ASIC for mining bitcoin it's a "simple" project, only an Algorithm implemented more and more times...
But making 20nm wafers isn't "simple". Even if KnC does everything right, there's a very good chance TSMC will be delayed in getting the wafers made. Is ORSoC doing the design again? I don't see why they would break up a winning routine. |

Does anyone have any details regarding power consumption. The genesis block calculator says expected power usage per unit to be 2100 watts. I am afraid for me that's not going to work. To be honest I was expecting something that would work on a residential 120v circuit. They also do not offer any hosting yet unfortunately.
I got ya covered  But yeah that is kind of silly. Im glad when I put my new facility together I decided to say fuck it and got all 240v 3 Phase? |

How do you remove an item from your KnC shopping cart?
I still have a november Jupiter in my cart and there does not seem to be any way to remove it.
The checkout button does not work either, presumably because that no longer available item is in the cart.
-MarkM-
I was able to deleted my 10 jups in my cart left over... but every time I log in they are still there. Do they show as paid? |

just paid for Neptune!

They are currently selling 550GH/s Jupiters for 5k, so I'd say that the 2TH machines NEED to be cheaper than $20k - its a no brainer. Do not forget that you will have to face a huge wait and the BTC/USD is very uncertain, as usual.
I won't be in unless the 2TH machines cost $10k or less.
Actually its currently 650Gh/s for 5K so I'm hoping they will be under 15K for 2TH if they delivered Neptune in November! Plus I'd like to hope they would be aggressively pricing against the competition  Why not just bury them? If a proven company like KnC can come up with 2TH for less than the non-existent pre-orders then they should get quite an avalanche of "defectors" With the difficulty increases and competitors coming on the market, 2TH in March would need to be the same price was last month 650GH |

If anyone has the latest info on the cgminer saga, and the forks which are continuing scrypt support, I'd appreciate you posting it here so our miners can benefit from the info. I'll also update the help section on Multipool with the info.
Not sure about the forks, but 3.7.2 seems to work fine even with the latest cards, I got it running on a R9 290 without much effort @stock getting 770Kh/s |

Hello Jupiter Owners. (also other miners may pitch in as well)
Anyone got a Temperature reader/gun.
Any chance you could measure the Temperature of the PCI cables, seen another post for a Bitfury thingy where a PCI cable burnt out.
I have Just Measured mine, running at 28c, 30c , 35c , 40c. Measured where it connects to the Jupiter PCI-e extension cable.
Ambient Temp for the Room is 26c.
Cheers

Mine are similar, 34-36°C but it might be dependent on the firmware you are running, also with the Bitfury miners they can be overclocked and pull alot more volts than at stock which might push a borderline psu cable beyond its capabilities. |

A question for those with November orders. When I log in to the knc site, on my common information tab, it shows my customer group as "Upgrade Modules". Is this how it reads for everything or is something on my account screwed up?
Edit to add: My order still is listed as paid status, I'm in the 106XX range.
Mine says the same and its order 102xx Mine says the same. 102xx and "Upgrade modules" I think they changed us to that group just before they had the flashmob sale of upgrade modules. btw, I don't think I said it at the time, but just for those of you that missed out on the upgrade modules, I think they should have been limited to only Saturn and Mercury buyers, even though I didn't have either model. |

|

COOL, I just noticed they only mention a single model...."Neptune"
This will solve many of the issues selling smaller machines... and make Customer service a breeze!! I really hope that's what it means!...
Heh, I hope Neptune "IS" the smaller model |

My big question would be: is KNC going to offer any kind of discounts for the late October delivery customers, the ones that suffered the big losses? I mean, I personally paid $131200 at current exchange rate for 1Th/s provided by an overheated Jupiter (running at full speed though under these high temps, otherwise all boards with die #0 issue) and 2 Saturns with all 4 boards with die #0 issue and forced to run under 0.98 because somehow 0.99 broke them and now I have one ASIC on each of them with all cores off on either 0.98.1 beta, 0.98.1 official or 0.99, but working just fine with 0.98 and dead die #0. My miners so far mined about $20500 at current exchange rate, so, yeah, ROI is out of question, just hoping to recover as much as possible from my investment and looking at KNC to see if they really care about their 1st batch customers as they proudly claimed once on their website!
Your big answer would be no I would imagine. |

write error could mean the beaglebone storage is full or corrupted.
in putty:
df -h will show the disk space
fdisk -l will show the partition info
The doesn't contain a valid partition table bit bothers me. TaggedYa No mines the same. OK so its not out of space. Its just wierd that it boots but cgminer won't run. Have you tried calling support? |

Looks good, but every hardware is different with respect to dud cores. Some is golden and some is scat.
ck, can you elaborate a little on the difference in behaviour & reporting between the 3.8.2 tuned and non-tuned on a KnC miner? Reporting between the two is identical. The tuned one simply changes the decision making process about when to turn a core off and back on. Firstly it turns all cores on every time it's starting. However it turns cores off very quickly instead of after many errors, but turns cores off in a staggered fashion a few seconds apart. Then it turns them back on after only a minute, but will only turn cores back on if no core on/off has happened for the last minute staggering them much more to turn them back on. My observations were that turning dud cores off always helps the hashrate so making it easier to turn cores off made sense, but with rapid changes to the number of cores on/off, the power going to the units changes wildly when in fact the device will be more stable if it only ever changes power requirements slowly, hence the changes. It also increases the duration cores are off every time they fail before disabling them permanently (for that run of cgminer). Anyway I find the hashrate and consequently the hardware error rate keeps improving over time as only the decent cores are left hashing, and cores that are borderline turn on and off intermittently in a staggered way that doesn't change the power requirements dramatically. So with 3.8.2 non-tuned my HW error rate is like 1.5% when I was running the older tuned version it was enabling and disabling cores all the time and I had a HW error rate closer to 5% Non tuned doesn't disable the cores, but tuned does if they return X number of errors. So with non tuned its just getting errors back from the "bad" cores, but the error rate would seem to refute that. Sorry, just trying to get my head around it. Logically I would think that my Jupiter has the same amount of cores giving out errors regardless of the software used. I'll leave non-tuned running for another day, output seems stable after 24 hours, but I'm still interested to see if the tuned version will make any difference to both the HW and overall avg output. Thanks |

Now the problem. I shut the full speed unit down for a few minutes to change locations and when I restarted it cgminer fails to start. The bone boots and I can tty into it. I can try to manually start cgminer and I get a "cgminer failed to start: Write Error".
(...)
I'm not able to find the string 'Write Error' (without caps as well) in cgminer source code. Is it the exact error msg you get ? If so I guess your issue is located somewhere in the OS. Anything useful in the log file ? *Note: journalctl is the replacement for a "less /var/log/syslog" http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journalctl.htmlwrite error could mean the beaglebone storage is full or corrupted. in putty: df -h will show the disk space fdisk -l will show the partition info |
