Has any customer's unit seen hashing yet? Link?

^^ This

I think that your order status will be "In progress" only if you belong to custormer group 1-500

thanks man! i do appreciate that!

im dead serious, if ckovilas wants a unit to write a driver, hes got one. im in the first batch and should have my unit before the 15th this month.

I guess I feel a bit left out of all the trolling—

KNC is now mining on their hardware, while customers wait for it to ship:

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17Czc8RVL3FU5T2MLx2zLbRnpfBNgH9vFo

This is, as far as I know, 100% of the KNC hashrate in existence. Pedantically speaking, it means that KNC is violating their 5% commitment.

Testing doesn't involve using the production network. Production mining is unlikely to test finding blocks— whereas testnet, or replays of past found blocks are more complete tests.  Mining on the mainnet increases the difficulty and takes income from customers who are waiting on units that will be late.  Every bit of earlier mining is worth large amounts of future mining due to expected growth.

I do not understand why miners keep funding mining hardware companies that mine in competition with their own customers.

...it's looking like it might be 1.4w/Gh/s

...at the wall!!

done.

Also there will be some compensation for trade-in and chip order customers. ( you are entitled regardless, so don't think I am trying to sway your decision. )

Mine have 5 sets of 2x2 pin headers located along the edges of the board.  The boards each came with a little PCB jumper board plugged into one of them.  Any idea what they do?

Shipping schedule:
We've been working our asses off this week to deliver on the promise of shipping first october orders this week. It was a bit of a stretch (because of the capacitor issue, see below), but we managed to ship the first few orders today. We will proceed to ship more next week.  

Please don't send e-mails asking when your order will ship. We are a small team and this just distracts us and creates extra work and thus DELAYS shipping.

Hardware:
We have encountered overheating issues with the capacitors placed in 4 groups of 8 between the chips on H-cards. This shouldn't affect any orders shipped in august. We have not had any serious issues apart that the caps run extremely hot (up to 250°C). This is clearly a malfunction and we're not sure what is causing this. There shouldn't be a risk of fire as these are ceramic capacitors, but we decided to try removing them. (They boards seem to actually work better without these caps

We've processed about 160 cards ourselves (this is the cause of not shipping earlier), and rest will be taken to a company that will remove the caps (3.50€ a card, OUCH!). Future boards will not have these caps.

H-card availability
As some of you have noticed, we closed the october sales. We did this so that we would be able to deliver everything as promised. We will however reopen H-card sales, after we're done shipping so you can top-up your empty slots. They will be available for immediate delivery.

Software:
Chainminer has been updated. You can update by SSH into your pi, then

Then go onto web interface and stop-start your miner. We've had good results with this version even with autotuning on.

We encourage you to create a backup of your SD for easy fall back (it's a good idea to have one handy anyway, as SD cards are known to fail unexpectedly). You can of course recover old version also using git checkout.

We've been tuning bitfury fork of BFGMiner, and it seems to be working nicely. Mineforeman kindly offered to make us a test version of Minepeon with this, so hopefully sooner than later you will have a choice to run your miner on either platform.

Refund policy:
We have received some refunds and I want to clarify our refund policy. Refund in BTC is done using blockchain.info and using the price that it gives when refund is processed (I enter euro sum, and in shows number of BTC). Refund using bank transfer is also possible, but please understand it takes more time to process.

Where are you located and what is your order number?

I'm seriously considering to get a refund on the delivery charges ($240 for 2 Jupiters) and go get them myself.
I spoke with Sam today, who was absolutely certain that all orders will be ready by 15th October ad he will be able to give me at least a 48h notice of when they will be ready to collect.
So I did some research and here are my findings:

• RyanAir seems the cheapest
• RyanAir offers to buy and Extra Item Seat* so I can buy a single ticket to go there and basically 2 singles to come back - around $100
• The miner fits just perfectly within the hand baggage allowance - 7kg and 50x40x20cm vs 10kg and 55x40x20cm, so will just put it in a strong plastic bag.
• Airport Security shouldn't be a problem - it's computer hardware with no power supply, batteries or liquids and won't be damaged by the xray scanning machine.

Anyone thinking of doing the same? Have I missed anything, that might impede my return back to UK?

* - To book an extra seat for an item the word "ITEM SEAT" must be entered as the surname and "EXTRA" must be entered at the first name. EXTRA ITEM SEAT will then be displayed on the reservation and online boarding pass. The accompanying passenger's travel document details must be entered during the online check- in process. Reserved seating in emergency rows 1,16 and 17 may not be purchased if you have purchased an extra seat for item/comfort

Looks like the team managed to get all 36 outstanding August starters in boxes and out the door!  Go team!

We will be sending emails out over the next day or so in order to get your BTC payment addresses.

Cheers,
Dave

Wow cool - did you change R01F or just add the heatsinks?  If you changed R01F what value did you use?

I don't have any specific information about internal design choices of ORSoC. I'm very familiar with competitors' DIMM SoC hardware controllers and I can credit them with at least order-of-magnitude time and effort savings when doing chip-level development. For this particular purpose rPi could be considered a serious step back even in comparison with the hobbyist-level hardware like the BeagleBoard/BeagleBone.

And I did these steps to order and insert the cards with least amount of slow/bad chips at the start and the bad boards at the back.
