I'm curious... I've heard people say that the KnC chips are just fpga copies.. but I've not heard it from any legitimate nor direct sources. Do you have a source for that info? Its often said by hashfast as one of the FUDs that they spread, but i really haven't seen it directly mentioned anywhere.
And anyway, if they've got them running at less than 1 Watt per GH, at the wall.. thats pretty acceptable to me. Its not as low power as hf or ct, but then, they're nit shipping yet... so the difference is moot.
I don't have a source for that. KnC may be standard cell, but getting the same efficiency at 28nm as Bitfury got at 55nm could be responsible for the popular 'FPGA copy' assumption. Anyway, this is a Cointerra thread so let's get back to speculating about the reasons for their failed tape-out and (possibly related) decision to hire new people for their next chip.  Are you really that bad intended? Bitfury is ~2W/GH while KNC is ~1W/GH-~1.3W/GH(reports vary) Bitfury, 400 GH system (16x H-boards) uses a lot less than 800W at the wall it is closer to 400W. Some boards which overclock and overvolt the chips have lower efficiency although I haven't seen one that is as bad at 2 W/GH. Not sure where you are getting your info. I remember that i read some posts in the US Bitfury thread. Too lazy to search for them. I can admit that i was wrong, no problem there. Waiting for someone else do the dirty job of searching posts. Edit: Or maybe it was some cryptx thread. I just knew those numbers. Any proof is welcomed. |

While i know the risks of using Beta software i just want to be sure of something. Having a paper backup makes me safe from any Armory/wallet problems/bugs/disasters right? Also please tell me how paper wallets work. If i make a paper backup of an encrypted wallet will it require the password when importing the backup or not? |

Is eu-stratum.btcguild.com down? cgminer won't connect and ping doesn't work.
Looks like the EU validation/ddos filtering server was getting slammed pretty hard by a botnet, giving it a reboot to see if it clears up any issues. Still down for me. US one works fine. Working just fine for me (just restarted my miners pointing them at EU, instantly connected). Ok after a tracert it seems that i found the problem. 10 70 ms 64 ms 64 ms 178.236.0.97
11 84 ms 64 ms 63 ms 178.236.0.58
12 * * * Request timed out.
13 * * * Request timed out. Any idea why i can't get passed those Ireland Amazon servers? US server works just fine. |

Jupiter FW 0.99 (Power Stats)
PSU AKASA Cobra 850W 82% efficient (so the box says)
Dynamic Single 12v Rail
Wall Stats
248v @ 50Hz
3A (power factor 0.98) (no idea what that is ??)
Low 15.9W High 753W
Average 746W
So that's ~1.3W/GH. A damn good 20% improvement from their estimates of 1.6W/GH. Not so good as 1W/GH, but i'm satisfied. WRU tard Avenger to throw shit at KNC? 50%+ more hashpower and 20% less consumption. Show me another ASIC manufacturer that can beat that! (i'm not expecting an answer because you retard don't have one) Planning on getting an EVGA 1300W for November Jupiter! |

But it's not accurate to call them criminals if you "only" get a 450Gh machine when you paid for 400Gh one.
He is a retard. Just ignore him  |

@KNC or @Bitcoinorama: Does this delay also apply to the upgrade modules? Will the shipping of the upgrade modules begin with, before or after shipping of regular november orders?
Guy's I'll be honest and say. If you have a November batch and want to take full advantage, I'd be sourcing 1200w PSUs. I'd still avoid the Cosair HX Series. You'd prob be fine with a solid 1000w+. We've been testing on the V850s still, but as I alluded to before they've been pushing these around and over 1000w and the PSUs are solid and have been taking the abuse, but if I were you with future firmware revisions and from what I've seen: 1200w Gold rated PSUs for November batch orders FTW please!  Hey Bitcoinorama will there be a way to adjust the speed of the whole miner? 650GH/s at ~1000W is ok now(based that you recommended 1200W PSU i'm thinking that a Jupiter will draw 900-1000W), but in 3-6 months maybe i would like to go back to 550GH/s at ~600-700W. The additional hashrate is very very welcomed, but the power increase seems to be around their originally stated 1.6J/GH. Anyway, retard Avenger is still complaining even if no ASIC company provided an increase of over 50% in hashrate in just one month. Great job KnC! I love you! Now just please don't open another batch till January/February at least  |

I got to admit I'm a little baffled that HashFast has stopped talking to me.
You received your lousy discounts yet? |

Guys! Could you stop bitching about Avanger and the other impotent trolls and turn back to some technical discussion about KNC? This thread becoming boring.... You can't help someone how doesn't want. Trolls just cryin' and doesn't want to solve the problems.... Begging PLEASE, PLEASE STOP IT!!!!!!  I will stop after this post. I only wanted to show that Avenger has a vendetta against KnC and it's obviously bad intended. @btc_uzr I can't have any special treatment since the email i'm using to communicate with them is not related to anything from this forum. Maybe i have a good karma. There may be some unsatisfied customers, but their number is important. I only counted around 5 on this forum, please tell me an approximate number from their forums. And sales never lie, their 200 upgrade boards went out in 3 minutes and they sold out on their November batch (i'm hoping there won't be another batch till at least February) comparing to idiots from Avalon who were struggling to sale their units/chips after the mess they did. As usual you are free to not buy from this company if you never got the satisfaction that you wanted. The problem that i have with Avenger is that all he does is whine and throw shit at KnC instead of coming with REAL problems like in every other hardware threads. For example i want him to come and say "I have requested for an RMA and i never got one. WTF" or "I'm waiting for a reply from KnC for one week now. Their support sucks" or "My unit hits only 400GH/s" etc. All these are legitimate problems(like some others posted here), but what i see from trolling Avenger was "KNC continue their ruthless ways", "Faulty goods, lousy service, lots of lies", "will have to send every faulty RMA board directly back to customers now", "if you are willing to deal with a company of liars and thieves" (actually laughed so hard at this one), "And the fact you can't come up with a few grand to invest suggests you are a loser, with no real business skills, just a lot of talk". Please see the difference between legitimate posts and the ones with an agenda to throw shit at companies for no reason. As i said i'm giving up on Avenger. People have been warned about him and for what i call people can be idiots and actually believe Avanger since that means fewer miners sold and lower difficulty for me. |

My point exactly when you and bumcoinorama demand the same off me. My opinion of knc based on my experience with them is as valid as anything else posted here. But this is the last time I humour your trolling Roadstress, as it's not just annoying to me, it fills up pages with crap. I guess you've got nothing better to do and bumcoinorama is incapable of any flexibility of thought, I could hit him over the head with a jupiter and he'd still say I don't have one. Look at yourself - when put in the same position - me demanding an order number from you - you seem insulted by the request and refuse. Shoe and other foot eh? End of. P.S. I fully agree with jonoiv - it's disgraceful that people who placed November orders a month or two ago are not getting their unit before this weeks fire-sale of boards. KNC continue their ruthless ways, knowing they have everyone's money and there is nothing they can do about it. They just want more. I assume refunds for November customers are not available any more? Because it's a totally different thing. I'll let you find out why. You still haven't answered. How is your unit hashing? Why are you not satisfied with your purchase from KnC? |

Actually, he posted proof, you just did not see it. Now that he has proven himself legitimate I would like some of his questions answered, since I asked the same ones and was consequently ignored too.
Ok let's say that's the proof. Still waiting for the rest of the answers. |

They promise a lot, until they have your money. Then they do whatever they like, at their own pace. Hasn't anyone learned this yet? Can't wait when they ship and guys start reporting how these ex-RMA boards are only hashing at < 100GH  P.S. Bet they are kicking themselves seeing one of these boards selling for $3k on ebay. Sam's probably pinned bitcoinorama to the wall and screaming at him for suggesting they sell them for sub $1000/board All that money they didn't make, will have to send every faulty RMA board directly back to customers now, not replace any, to keep profits healthy... Where is the proof of your unit mining? 1) I really doubt bitcoinorama (no offense o'rama) is making pricing decisions at KNC. CEOs make those decisions and really have no one to blame but themselves. 2) Avenger, really, stop fabricating problems that don't exist. If KNC's products had so many faulty boards, then where did 4 network PH in 6 weeks come from? BFL?! LOL. 3) Where's your order? Where's your unit? Where are your friends? Oh right...you spend too much time trolling lying on bitcointalk to have any of those. While I may agree with what you say the "trolling" and "lying" words just set people off for a lot of pointless posts. He spent his money -- he has some legitimate points -- maybe just respond without the antagonism and people will exchange more useful information. Thank you for reading this and thinking about it. How do you know that he actually has a KnC unit? I never saw any proof of that. Where's the proof you have a unit ChodeStress? Please give me your order number or you are a liar and have never bought anything from knc. Why do i have to show you or anyone else a proof that i own KnC hardware? I'm not crying like a bitch like you.I don't think that i have to own KnC equipment to ask you reasonable questions. On the other hand anyone that is reading your posts can see that you are an incompetent human being. All you do is cry. For someone who invested "many thousands of dollars" you don't posses too much intelligence. -"Faulty goods" - So right now you still have faulty goods? Still haven't used the RMA? -"lousy service" - Please describe. I get same day reply to emails. -"lots of lies" - Please enumerate the "lost" of lies. Still waiting for a proof of you big investment. |

Hey burnin i have a board that emits a humming sound coming from the power supply cable/connector on board. Should i worry? If i touch the cable i can somewhat feel the current coming in waves.

I hate to keep asking, but any chance you're planning on doing bulk chip sales?
Hi MrTeal, excuse us to keep you keep asking Will you sell your chips? document, testing chip etc.Yes, we sell BM1380 chips. Documents, software are being prepared while we are still testing the chip. Our github: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1Please fill the form to help us centralize the testing chip request information, thank you. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nh1mF2bAKjHnwx9o4wt_X3q_epPWndLxj-qGwgqxNlA/viewformThe earliest time we can deliver the bulk sold chip will be in around 50 days. The chip order we sell will definitely have a commit day from foundry, which means we will sell the chip only after the wafer starts fabrication. When will you post some prices? |
