Hello,
Upgrades cards will go sale very shortly. An announcement will be made on the website and newsletter within the coming days.
It has yet to be decided which versions of the board we will be selling.

I was reading about another delay announcement from another ASIC vendor and I've suddenly realized how amazing is what KnC have done with their first gen ASIC chips. And how lucky I was to pick them as ASIC provider  |

Pre-orders are risky business. The odds are against it working out. For every KNC you have , I dunno, about 5 companies that don't deliver, and 3 companies that under-deliver, and 2 companies that are super-late, like Avalon.
The irony of that statement is that KNC customers only made profits if they paid in fiat. The majority of Avalon customers at least made some profit (but the last batch of them got royally screwed). The fiat KNC customers can't take alot of comfort in that IMO, just buying bitcoins with their money would have been more profitable. This is precisely how think about it, modulo two minor nitpicks: - like DPoS like to say: Buying KNC miners is like storing your BTC in a bank that only lets you withdraw a certain amount per day. Helps to keep you in the game without selling everything at the first 20% jump.
- buy a miner is another way to "buy" bitcoin without the need to wire money to an exchange or any other (not very transparent) actors that provide services to enter the btc world. |

Man, Andreas is good. Would love to have seen him on any one of the panels.
I do agree. One of the finest bitcoin evangelist I've ever heard, I'm starting to get addicted to his speeches  Luckily for me he's pretty prolific. |

Hi all, for some strange reason i gave a go for the wizkids version again. Now driven with 315-setting, my wattage on bertmod shows 435 and average hashrate on poolside 470-480gh/s. This is great but I wonder why it didnt show this before. Perhaps i different settings for better for the 3.9.0 and some for 3.8.5, dunno.. Im just happy =)
Does the wizkid's cgminer version work also for october miner? A part from disabling the flushwork entirely, are you aware of what other changes in the code this custom cgminer version contains? |

Woop! BTC price just broke $1000 again. See ya later China!

The biggest thing for me, is it gives Bitcoins legitimacy in the UK. If my bank manager questions why I am selling bitcoin miners, I can point to the fact I can walk into my local corner shop, and buy bitcoins.
And why on earth your banking manager should ask you this? he should mind to his own business  |

Ideas on cooling I put air obstructions in my case so all air must pass the ASIC and VRM's. For Sat find/make a cardboard box that fits between front (towards BBB) ASIC modules. For Jup also find/make 2 smaller boxes to fill up outside edges. Also the air that passes over the aluminum plate is not doing much cooling I direct it towards the VRM's. Painters masking tape or similar wrapped around the heat pipes below the aluminum radiator will direct more air to the VRM's. You could shove a wadded paper towel in there for testing. Beware cardboard/paper burns, might not be ideal for long term usage in a box with a history of sparks. Folks who drop fans to bar might consider blocking top(no fan area) of aluminum radiator also. Aluminum tape/foil might be a better choice but then beware risk of shorts, keep it neat! Make sure the cables do not block airflow also. Oct. GE VRM's are designed for airflow from ASIC side to edge of board side. KnCMiner is not ideal for OC airflow but it is what it is. I'm glad they chose shortest lowV/highA copper runs making OC possible! YMMV Care to share same pics? |

If you had just 100 Bitcoins, and the price settled over 10k..... someday mate.... someday soon People will be so glad their machine spits out .005 a day.... maybe at 0.1 or 0.05, but not at 0.005 a day, this will only be $50 at $10,000 per bitcoin, then takeaway power cost it will be even less... sure you calculated it correctly? $50 a day is not that bad as long as it covers 50% of your operational costs. e.g. $50 a day, 50% maintenance costs (energy + space rent + time etc etc) you still got 30*$50*.5=$750 net per month. And how much will $750 a month buy at 2140 inflation levels? Don't be fooled by me translating the 0.005 btc into dollars, it was just for the sake of clarity. I'm a miner and I never cash-out xtc right away after having mined it. I cash-out very rarely and only if I really need it and only for the amount that I have to spend. Or just because the thing I have to buy is available in btc only. The real question you need to ask is: what you will be able to buy with 0.005 xtc by 2015 (I don't dare to move time horizon further than that |

ANTMiners are still shipping, large batch was yesterday, they're constantly taking orders.
I have no doubt KNC will open up something soon, perhaps the last month of silence they've been working on bringing parts in for their "in stock" fire sale of stuff to support their NPS.
I guess if they sold modules for 1BTC now and you overclock them a bit they pay for themselves in about a month.. but if they wait 3 more weeks it would probably take 4 months to make your money back Speaking of which, is there a link to a good source for overclocking mercury's? I presume same as others, but I can't find the links in this chatlog of a forum thread. |

This is not related to recent issues reported here by several users, but it will be amazing if kraken trading platform has "stop loss orders" triggered off of market price rather than executed price.
This would be even more beneficial at the current low volume (at least in XTC terms).
See help>>trading guide Stop Loss: Triggers a market order (buy or sell) when market price hits the stop price.
[...]
Market Price: "Market price" for an order means the lowest current ask price (for buy orders), or the highest current bid price (for sell orders). This is important for understanding how stop or take profit orders trigger. A stop loss sell order, for example, will trigger when stop price is less than or equal to market price (the highest current bid price).Ooops sorry I've swapped the orders type. What I really meant is that having stop loss order based on executed price rather than market price would be beneficial. I've learnt the hard way that your quoting of the trading guide do apply in the current implementation. |

As an impartial observer in this situation,
If asked, he might be willing to try to talk to the Hashfast management, if only to try to get them to communicate with their buyers. He has a much better chance of doing so than any of you. I know it's not how these things normally work, but both companies and Hashfast's customers could stand to gain from a bit of pragmatism.
How about it, Josh?
Bugger that, at no point now or in the future should BFL talk to Scamfast. Last thing we need is josh to infect castro with his mystical pony land ideas If its going to be anyone it should be KNC. if you love em or hate em least they got rigs out the door without to much delay You mean discounting the fact that Hashfast is less late than KnC is at the moment? KnC promised summer delivery and didn't ship until the middle of October. Summer ends the 21th of septmber. First customers had their miners at hand on October the third. |

Bitstamp's bank is Unicredit banka Slovenija in Ljubljana, a subsidiary of Unicredit Bank Austria.
As far as I know Unicredit is italian. |

KNC should also get into other great bitcoin tech for when miner sales start to decline. have a look at this from BFL http://www.butterflylabs.com/bitcoin-hardware-wallet/ I like it... and want one of course, but from BFL  I'll have to wait and see or what about KNC bitcoin vending machines or ATM's sorry for the OT but I wouldn't touch a BFL hw wallet with a ten foot pole. Mind you I really think the concept per se is very useful, but please look harder for some other providers. |

I have a KnC Jupiter and I usually have it using two pools, first my own p2pool merged mining node that merges all eight merged mined coins, second, in case of problems (like the motherboard currently being blown) with my p2pool it uses mmpool at bitparking as backup.
When using mmpool it correctly shows in its dashobard web system its hashrate.
When mining on my p2pool though it shows a hashrate about half what the p2pool is actually getting from it according to p2pool itself.
So this problem seems to be cosmetic, somehow the Jupiter's web system is extracting wrong information from the cgminer instance it is using.
But it took me some time to finally migrate to having my p2pool as first choice pool because at first it did seem like it had real problems trying to use p2pool.
One thing miners stand to gain by using p2pool instead of centralised pools is control over which coins to merge.
Until recently no public pool I knew of merged I0C, GRP, CLC nor XGG.
A while ago mmpool reinstated I0Coin and at the same time also added GRP.
But as far as I know you still miss out on both CLC and XGG if you use any centralised pool instead of running your own p2pool node.
As more blockchains implement merged mining, people using centralised pools will likely miss out on more and more merged mined blockchains.

thanks for sharing your experience, really appreciated. How did you discover that your real hashrate was actually twice the hashrate reported by cgminer? I have a more general question though: how is possible to improve the situation in a technical way? I've heard of other problems related to p2pool (latencies, flushwork). Are those problems real? Is there enough man-power, commitment and resources behind the project? |

Zerocoin is going their own way. That's exciting.
Everything else just seems like so much iteration.
Do you think that stealth address along with bitcoin inertia would in some way hinder zerocoin adoption? Edit: fix syntax error |

@temen: what is the oc value you are using? 211/231/241/251?

Hi,
I am using Oct Jupiter with 0.99.1-tune firmware. After I pressed "Reset factory settings" on Advanced tab, I can no longer access Advanced tab at all. Instead I have browser message with "Fetch advanced configuration/status failed." and "OK" button. Restarting, flashing to earlier firmware and flashing back to 0.99.1-tune does not resolved the issue. Jupiter itself is mining away nicely, but I can't access Advanced tab anymore.
Any one had similar problem?
Ctrl+F5? Of course I tried it, doesn't work. did you try to clear the cache? with another browser? private browsing (Ctrl+Shift+n)? |
