Heh not selling my paid for Roi titans at the above specs a 350 mh 1250w Titan can run just fine with that pack so no need for more $$$ out.  Also new equip for scrypt coin would likely inspire confidence on ltc and all scrypt prices would go up. Win/Win imho.

Not at launch .....it may hit 1 buck over time as you say....

Again hope I am wrong and it pumps (also want supermodel girlfriend....also unlikely)

Heh.....slaughtered....heh......it is like $1.05 usd on the yobit/bloombit sites as we speak..I WISH.....fake volume leads to fake hopes....

The 1 btc I have (big spender) when I got it on the 10% bonus buy...is exactly 6,519.20 LISK

so yeah..if dumping to $1 buck is the 'new' reality ....I'm all for 'unicorns/fairies and rainbow dust'

me hell at best I expected 15c a LISK at the top..but I hope all the hype is the driver on LISK....I'll take 'stupid upward surge pump' any time at a $1 price


well we will see......but heh .....fake lisk iou's taking on fake exchange with fake volume..supposedly dropping 55% to $1.05 ....who'd a thunk it

I'll have whatever they are 'drinking' to make this so any time any place

But hell 10c per lisk is more likely imho by a long shot.

(man I soooooo want to be wrong and the kool aid drinkers correct) ...but I mean really $1 sheesh

You can kinda get thru the above with 'google translate'

also on the above link don't miss this link either ...seems KNC has some 'issues' and laid off a bunch of folk this is at the end of the article

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdigital.di.se%2Fartikel%2Fknc-miner-stams-pa-miljonbelopp&edit-text=


likely KNC is playing the Butterfly Labs 'long game' drag this all out.....let the KNC corporation take the fall and pay the fines and go bankrupt. Because a corporation the
assets of others like Sam Cole and the IPO money in their DATA HALL operation would NOT be effected..IF they were smart enough to set it up that way?

They are EVIL so they will probably wiggle out of this EVEN if they lost the court case.

What is annoying to me is once this class action is done that's it...unless you were in on this class action you get zip...no such class actions will be allowed ..it will be settled
completely (or so I seem to remember)

IS ANYONE on here IN this class action? IF so can you talk about it?


Anyway thanks for the links

But IF someone made such a BBB to Titan cube mod YOU could maybe incorp a version of such? (or likely you'd need a machine to muck with to do so for this)

anyway if such a firmware fix by Lightfoot or someone else existed...I'm pretty sure I could spare you a 75 buck Jupiter controller and my ONE die working cube)

heh (ducks)


but yeah the Unicorn has to exist first ...I did not point such out..but damn the equip would be common (or at least 1 titan test units at that point imho)

whatever.....frigging dreaming...but again the thought of a KNC 2013 Mercury BBB Board at a big 112.4mh to BTC back in the day...just has a certain

EVIL appeal to me running even ONE Titan cube.....but again .this is due to the numerous LIES by KNC on such being IMPOSSIBLE and your Unicorn Titan

Software....which in its present form is SO beyond what KNC denied they could do .is beyond belief at this point in time.

Anyway....off to other 'windmills' I guess

NOTE:

As with all my rants from work (hey they want me awake I have to do something) if you
don't like my long rants on here.... put me on /ignore....very peaceful like I've heard)


yeah as a denial factor on $$$ flowing into stuff that will be 'bricks' next year it keeps a guy sane (kinda)

boy would I run amuck if I won the lottery....would be like this guy walking thru crypto land

(at one time pleasant loved by all....after lottery EVIL to the horror of my previous beloved masses
much like this guy)




After the full EVIL turn .....probably hang out with Sam Cole at KNC ..go to swank Swedish Super Model parties.....and plan evil stuff....and have to practice my evil laugh 'bruahahahha" shave my head like Dr. Evil" damn that sounds like a lot of frigging work)

Then again crypto babe Swedish Super Models. *hubba hubba* I dump you guys in a 'heartbeat'




Still think you would KILL (at least starting this time frame) on getting a BBB to work running cubes. Such a feat with Gen Tarkin version would KILL imho. I mean being able to run a Titan anything with ANY KNC controller EVER MADE from 2013 on with a port with Gen Tarkin's software for the BBB black you guys would frigging KILL imho....rev that baby up

Look at all the folk getting Neptune cubes that don't ROI for fun with old KNC Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter/Neptune re-flashed controllers...in an "INSANE" moment last week I got 1 cube for 45 bucks with shipping for my 'extra' Jupiter board just to play with...LUCKILY I found someone who wanted such a toy also and swap'd it out to him with some other stuff (whew!)....I mean really the extra Jupiter board was worth likely 100 bucks so 150 bucks so I can play with ONE frigging Neptune Cube because I never got a Neptune!!!....and yet more heat in basement for summer

man I got to get a grip

Start an ASIC Home Miner Anon....or some such....its fun to to this but hard to keep in mind that EVENTUALLY IT IS FUTILE....the ASIC gods and difficulty always win

 
I mean with 10 cubes (1 with only 1 die working) do I really really need now 4 Titan controllers (with the extra Jupiter board and cube i swapped back ...yeah really now only 4 ) sheesh

Its like I'm an ASIC squirrel hoarding NUTS for winter (well actually I guess I am ..plan on being the last in the Midwest when the giant sucking sound of Titan equip flows to Texas (4c kwh) Oregon (3c kwh) and China (2c kwh) ..my summer rates 14c kwh ouch....and 10c kwh in OCT 2016...just got to make it to OCT baby.....I heated my house last winter with 3000 watts of Titans ...so the bet is with BTC  halving...and a pump I can string this 'addiction' out to end of next winter ..at the end swapping electricity/heat for coin equivalent..but then again that is what 'denial' if for .if not quite...but now 'doable'

But again would be a pretty good market imho for BBB fix to run 1 or 2 cubes for fun by a bunch of folk even if NO ROI ..just because of the toy factor and low cost of such a thing and the group out there that ALWAYS wanted a Titan but just could not swing such.

but anyway a lot of the talented folks on here (and OP) on this thread .well their  time is limited...don't listen to me I'm still in the clutches of 'home mining is dead" denial.....kicking and screaming into next year is my hope

(sad pitiful Searing....in 2013 as a newbie  drinking the kool aid from BFL and thus the addiction started)

as with all my posts consider the 'source' and take anything I say with a grain of salt.

But I really think a BBB would kill today if released...and a lot of these titans as they got closer to being 'bricks' would be 'parted out' easily for fun and profit..would be a hell of an option then trying to sell the whole works and probably a heck of a lot easier

anyway my view for what it is worth

i have that spare raspberry pi clone jupiter/titan with the clone bridge up ..it only has 1 working die cube and the 2nd full cube on it

I could try a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade (i think that his how the work in tandem...and think this order is correct) and see what happens on a REGULAR Raspberry Pi B+ 512mb

unless that screws the pooch too....

and again if anyone wants just to see if it works or not ( not like a lot of risk)

Or maybe someone has done this and knows as to whether it actually does anything of note I'd have no way to tell would have to follow directions for those who would want to poke into it after the fact (assuming it upgraded etc)


but I have a knc 2.00 8gb Sandisk Class 10 SD  laying around here I could nuke to try

(then again others may have done this with NO effect)

let me what some of you think (Lightfoot gen tarkin..others with more knowledge then myself)

hey don't bust my bubble...I am trying to get my ONE Sapphire 7950 HD GPU up with all the parts I have in boxes around here and mine
some of this. Of course as soon as I started to assemble the parts .the GPU gods of etherum have 'shat' upon me for thinking such.

its all me boys I jinxed it

but at 8.60 now it has dropped quite a frigging bit..

https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/ethereum/usd




then again not a bag holder....but still your post kinda trampled on my 'unicorn' hunt don't ya know






Very good point. (As I sit on the sidelines watching the drama unfold.....got no real stake in Ethereum.......so in the Peanut Gallery watching)

Well as far as I know (Lightfoot should jump in on this) is (again I know zip) you trace the leads on a Titan bridge pin to pin that the bridge connects to the Raspberry Pi B+ 512mb and thru to the 4/6 port Neptune board or whatever. Again Spagetti Wire pin to pin what the titan bridge board connects to via the titan bridge arrangement (clone of such or otherwise)

The only catch is (I heard) that the Titan Bridge Board has a 'tiny' CLOCK chip it needs in this Titan Bridge arrangement. TOO tiny (even if we knew what it was for brand) to kinda sorta hack into some kinda of protoboard pin to pin Spaghetti arrangement. If was not for knowing WHAT the chip IS (proper type/brand/model etc) and IF there was a LARGER equivalent clock chip (if that is what it is) that a person could solder or connect in the proper circuit.spaghetti lead pin to pin .matching the titan bridge....Well hell I would have tried this already using the Raspberry Pi protoboard below. Stumped by this supposed clock chip and the how to on below.

(I have a Saturn 4 port board laying around here and the protoboads (see links below) are not imho that expensive....for such a mad scientist experiment)

Image of the Raspberry Pi protoboard ...Spaghetti like hack a person could attempt ...if again the chip in the Titan bridge board is REALLY a clock chip and you could find a larger equiv to put in the setup properly with the protoboard below say.

protoboard w/leads in use



leads you can use on such



below is some of the above for sale you would need

http://www.ebay.com/itm/65pcs-Male-to-Male-Solderless-Breadboard-Jumper-Cable-Leads-Wires-For-Arduino-/281997702604?hash=item41a85f75cc:g:D~sAAOSwGYVXCHQa

heh a whole $1.99 usd above for 65 leads with free shipping LOL

or the protoboard price below

ASSUMING the one below works free shipping $14.80 usd

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Prototype-Shield-for-Raspberry-Pi-Mode-B-512M-ARM-Micro-Controller-Breadboard-/252199608549?hash=item3ab844a0e5:g:NgsAAOSwbdpWYoH~


hell toss in the supposed larger equivalent clock chip that's less then $20  bucks ...assuming a guy had directions on how to do this (which I am clueless on)

Again the 'tracing of the pins" would be a pain...but the small supposed tiny clock chip (if that is what it is) has me stumped....don't need the LCD lights imho from
the daughter board imho.

THE OTHER MORE ELEGANT OPTION IS ANOTHER Qberty clone Bridge run...but damn that was/is spendy

We need to get a bit more the 10 folk and contact Qberty again say for a run of cloned Titan Bridge Boards (last run was 10 boards....) BUT man at 0.5 BTC or at $423 BTC or equivalent
price of $211.75 for such a hack ....on top of ALREADY having a Neptune/Jupiter/Saturn/Mercury 4/6 port  board laying about (they go for $100 bucks on ebay) way over the top if you don't have a proper 4/6 port card you can mod laying about.

It is just too steep if you can get a complete Titan Board for around 250 to 300 usd on BTC talk  maybe a bit more on Ebay.

But the daughter board arrangement thru Qberty is the more elegant solution...I just don't see a way to make them cheap enough to be worth it anymore (unless you are repairing a previous burnt bridge on your already owned and broke titan controller) he had (again from what I could tell) a heck of a time getting a run of 10 boards out ..and he kept 3 for his own fixes.

Anyway just my thoughts......it seems SO CLOSE to workable in my feeble attempts to grasp such. All I know for sure is my clone Titan Bridge to Neptune hack .hell with the LCD from Neptune Card left on ...ACTS like a perfect Titan Controller board.....so with 1 Jupiter 4 port controller and 1 Saturn 4 port controller laying around mocking me...thus my
attempt at a cost effective work around.


Now I hope someone makes this all moot with a BBB to titan cube direct firmware fix.....shoot down the above on that at any time I would be the first in line.

anyway so it goes

Last I heard that was for Neptunes. I never heard of any overclocking for Titans beyond 325 mh that worked. (could be wrong just saying)



edit:

Speaking of Neptune's.....I got a $44.95 fully working Neptune Cube off Ebay. (Mainly for the much longer ribbon cable and y adapter....Saturn ribbon cables on the card
I have are like 3" lol ...what I will use for this 1 cube hack for fun)

But to further go into the hole on this TOY. (when in doubt and tossing money in a hole best to keep the toy/amusement factor in mind)

I tripped over this link. Is this firmware legit...as a 3rd party FIRMWARE for the Neptune? Anyone use this for the heck of it?

(or I put it up and it mines to him or something?)

Should be in English according to the screen shots. Guess I should frigging ask.

Anyway for what it is worth for any Neptune folk out there here is the link.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KNC-Neptune-custom-Firmware-Zwilla-mod-1-x-Lizenz-Paket-/322040467112?hash=item4afb1b8ea8:g:Q1sAAOSwZVhWRFX7#shpCntId

Stuff to do..stuff to do

Heh.... WHAT! dump my whole 1 BTC! worth of LISK!!!  6,519.20 (my precious)

Hell for 1 BTC I'll see where it goes.

Shows as 1 on mine now. And says signature works.

Well I show 9 (i did get paid I think on Friday's previous posts ...or most of them).

So anyway it is in my posts counts if anyone wants to check. Since Friday that is.

Shows 1 posts as of this post, but the signature seems to be there now. Says Active.


For what it is worth. Assuming these new posts are added to the fixed bot counter....ie again I did get paid something on Friday...unsure if full amount

but them's the breaks.

At 1 BTC of an approximate price of 415 usd (I mine used 1 from the stash) with me doing it at the 10% bonus round, it comes out to 6,519 LISK

(yeah I know big spender I'm not)


so w/o the 10% that is 5867.1 LISK per BTC (some rounds different percentages)

heh getting worse...had posts with no signature (not many 7 I think) but now shows no signature and posts are 0

alas bitmixer.io bot....why do you do me wrong?


It is the beginning of SKYNET.....BOTS OF THE WORLD UNITE! OVERTHROW THE CARBON BASED UNITS!

The only incompatibly I remember on controllers was something about NOV Jupiter Controllers running OCT Jupiter/Saturn/Mercury cubes or vice versa. That is moot

as soon as you move into Neptune stuff as far as I can remember. (Others with NOV Jupiter Units chime in here)

You can ask Lightfoot but I don't think there is any issue with incompatibility on the Neptune and Titan front except between them. With their respective groups Neptune
and Titan is all good. Also from what I understand ANY port card works with anything else. ie you can flash now any Jupiter Board with a BBB to a Neptune Controller with
just the SD upgrade to the Neptune Firmware.

Some people tried Pi2 only thing that works is the Raspberry Pi B+ 512mb with the proper ports that match...(not sure may be another version) some say they have 'tweaked'
the speed of the regular pi b+ 512mb thou I never have.

KNC lied back in the day...said that 2.00 firmware was ROBUST and complete. (That should put Gen Tarkin on the floor).

No way to repair cubes  ....ie your screwed toss them.....(lLightfoot can get into the ins and outs of that statement)

My likely theory is when KNC took out the Jupiter's from the Data Hall and replaced them (thus the 4 months late) with the pre-order paid $$$ Neptune's they took first and

thus screwing the pre-order Neptune folk by 3-4 months arrival.

They took the 4/6 port controllers and used them from the Jupiter data hall (hell likely they were all 6 port by the time the data hall was up for Jupiters) and we know they used them with the

used FrankenJupiter junk equip they sent out. ...so IMHO they used these boards for Neptune and Titan customers...but lied that such was possible (at least to me)

on KNC forums ...(others from then can chime in here). I especially was told no way could you plug a bridge/pi into the 4/6 port boards of a Jupiter for either a Neptune or a Titan (even with a bridge and a pi).......so supposedly you could not switch ANYTHING between groups of product ..I think this died as a lie when the frankenjupiter's folks junk arrived in parts
and in desperation they flashed some Jupiter boards that worked to hamstring them up...but again others with actual first hand experience can chime in on that.
It was the perfect evil KNC plan imho.

So anyway their greed NOW allows us to take a clone titan bridge and use it on a Neptune board plug and play with the proper titan SD knc 2.00 software. A few folk had more then one fried Titan board and managed to switch a bridge or use a 4/6 port other controller and get one or two working cards or some such...so some options ..thus we can 'sorta'
 'create' a Titan board.

Just wish we could take that last step and get the BBB project to do Titan cubes and/or that spaghetti hack on a pi protoboard with the an equiv larger clock chip directions in some manner for using a chip other then MICROSCOPIC clock chip with this hack, up and working.

We may as well take advantage of the cheap bastards re-using and making all compatible 4/6 port cards ALL OF THEM EVER MADE and find a work around to run Titan cubes.

The idea of a flashed BBB Mercury Board running a Titan Cube with Gen Tarkin's Software has a certain *FU KNC* appeal don't ya know.

Well anyway others can chime in on here with the back and forth (threats to ban) and other stuff that went on with KNC forums on such stuff as above, back in the day.

Just would like to see the last step taken to complete the loop on this. Either a BBB solution (more elegant) or a re-wire of the spaghetti version above (true hardware hack)

later

yeah me too says signature not found. Gonna be a lot of us checking into this thread to see if we needed to upgrade the signature as an issue. Well at least it is not

just me. (it usually is just me so this is refreshing)

dang I gather these are now gone? if not I'd like a couple.

Yeah I got mine from that guy. 2nd feedback down.

I got a Saturn Controller 4 port (with the small 2 ribbons) I can let go for 100 bucks plus shipping. If you want to try a working bridge on such. Also hawkfish007 on here has
2 clone bridges for sale for what he has in them for 0.5 btc ..same clone bridges from Qberty's run of 10 boards. The controllers he got them for did not need the bridge fix. So
last I heard he had extras to sell  at his buy price.

Anyway options for folk looking thru this thread for options above and beyond a full blown titan controller purchase off ebay or whatever.

As to my Neptune Hack it went flawlessly.

So sat down with some nerves....slowly removed the BBB from Neptune controller ..a slow wiggle back and forth took 5 min ...tight ...also had to very slightly reshape/bend some pins back vertical ...not much thou..then (not sure if correct to do this 1st) put the NEW (spare from back in the day) 35 buck Raspberry Pi 512mb B+ (all ports matched titan check) and put it on the daughter board 1st very easy to do...the slowly worked the pi/clone bridge works on to the Neptune board ...slightly tweaking ...very little needed but slightly some pins made more vertical. Did a quick recheck.

Then pushed the whole works on....all looked good....made my KNC img 2.00 Sandisk 8gb Class 10 microSD pop'd it on..I left the Neptune LCD on powered it up w/o cubes and viola LCD said "my creation lives" ie a Titan KNC 2.00 came up on the LCD ...at that point I put on my 1 cube with 1 working die (overclocked at 325 dare to dream) and closed eyes and turned it on and viola no boom ...a merge from knc minion to evil knc minion so to speak

chugs along at like 21.5mh or some such (well it is the only die in the unit ..seems to like the OC to 325 on adv page and ..cooling is likely not an issue as it is the ONLY die to cool)

here is a link to my complete setup

lostgonzo.imgur.com

here is the pic




Again if you have an electronics guy that can trace the titan bridge...add a much bigger version of the micro sized clock chip on the daughter board...get a protoype board for the pi
some single end pin'd wires for such and spaghetti it all together to match the pin outs on the titan bridge with the equiv LARGER clock chip in place on a line or two proper as well and the whole thing could probably be hacked together at no more then 50 bucks.

Toss that info schematics and parts into the Titan world for free if you or anyone else here has the skills to do so ...you'd be a god on this thread



I lack the skills with the clock chip in play...but for others with electronics skills should be a snap...at least from my layman view.


but with Qberty's 0.5 BTC clone bridge...you just snap it together and viola it comes up....so I would assume ANY working Titan bridge would work for this. (how to test such
a bridge w/o putting the port board and LCD at risk I've no clue..just saying...but hey life is a risk)

and again this could be very very handy for those who KNOW or suspect the titan bridge is fine.....and thus grab a pi an old knc board 4/6 Neptune for sure I've been told 4/6 port Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter boards work  as well ( i have 2 such but alas no more clone bridges...thus my hope for a skilled spaghetti hack as I mentioned above)

anyway was a nice hack for a titan bridge I got for 75 bucks insurance (that is per my 2 titans)  in the box (with the pi) as a just in case for my 2 titans having a future
common bridge problem.. so it worked out well for me being paranoid (it again is knc evil don't ya know)

but anyway I got cards 4 port for 100 bucks the Neptune card from the guy above is 149 bucks ..you just need a titan bridge board you know works or a Qberty clone titan bridge
from one of the 7 who got one (qberty kept 3 for his fixes from what I understand)

but 0.5 btc now 2 months later imho is too steep a price and I think he was selling them at cost to make in lots of 10....so if you need one get a hold of hawkfish007 he has the only 2 clone titan bridges left that I know about.

As always you don't like my rants/ramblings put me on ignore. (the curse of typing as fast as you think)

later

a controller from a Jupiter and a Saturn or Mercury (4 port or 6 port) is also supposed to work. I just put a clone titan bridge with pi 512mb B+ in 2 days ago into a Neptune controller...it works just fine...anyway IF you can find such on ebay. But had no issues with the Neptune 6 port board at all. (ya kinda cringe when you turn the psu on..but no boom...) was easy peazy like assembling some lego's Was surprised. (knc equip being evil and all)
