Is anyone having trouble with their miners repeatedly turning off?
Thanks.
More detail? Does it go down in hashing then cycle up back again due to heat or completely off? |

So who do I actually have to kill to have my miners shipped out? I have emailed steamboat about having them shipped out minus the bootloader etc now twice over the last 10 days with no response. Is there some other way to make this happen? Some additional hoops that I have to jump through? If I have missed something in the 200 some odd pages of this thread I apologize. Anyone help me out?
+1 , did the same. even used the the LSDs website to tell "ship miners," no reply. I emailed last week and with in one day I got an email with a tracking order and in about two days later received the package. My email was phrased quite rudely though due to my frustration to be shipped as is. If you have not received a response in ten days I would take Unacceptable's offer about your order to get in touch with steamboat. Mind sharing that phrasing? I have sent two emails so far with no response. Also what was Unacceptable's offer? Nothing vulgar. just irate customer stuff like any other distressed people do when they are frustrated. Here was Unacceptable offering towards contacting steamboat. ok guys, how can i request the miners as they are ? where do i email ?
Try here: http://liquidsyndesigns.com/shop/contacts/Please read at least the last 5-10 pages of this thread............this applies to everyone  If you don't hear back from Steamboat in a few days,PM me & I'll try to steer him to you  |

I just got sent shipping info to my units being mailed so someone is looking over the emails. Anyone using 24 port and + USB hubs or recommend brand or model? One I have been looking over are http://www.amazon.com/24-Port-USB-2-0-HUB-Adapter/dp/B003WPDICM I need to use at least 2-3 or more high capacity USB hubs to be able to mount the units I have shipping shortly. I have been waiting for updates on the chaining capability but that didn't really show up. Basically these lack of updates or info has held me back in getting my units shipped until now. |

The miners are functional but lack USB boot loader and i2c chaining. That is what I think they are working on. I also don't have miners nor my refund request "recieved". I cannot individually link each miner conveniently for my current situation as that would require more investment I currently do not have which is probably not a wise choice neither was investing in this whole group buy in the first place  So if you can mine without needing either the USB boot loader or i2c chaining probably best to ask for shipment asap. |

Given the unlikelyhood of a USB boot loader being developed, It seems as though the process is kind of backwards. Seems like SB should tell folks he's shipping the miners as-is unless they insist on waiting.
Just in case anyone out there is still confused about if they should wait for a boot loader - my personal opinion is that it's impossible to fit the bootloader AND the firmware code in the limited PIC16 memory. If you are waiting for a USB bootloader to have your miners shipped, don't. Get them ASAP.
NOTE: as soon as i say "impossible", someone will do it. lol. Lets just say getting all the code to fit in 16k memory is VERY unlikely. As with certain other components in the K16 design, the choice of that specific component (PIC16) may have been ill-advised.
Can I ask how many of you guys agree with this? I've been holding out for the bootloader but I'm $#@%! tired of waiting on these things to be honest. (my BFL's have been lonely for months...) The K16 work well enough after some tweaking for the people who have gotten them already? The K16's I received 'as-is' worked straight out of the box. Of course I had to install cgminer and WinUSB (zadig) first for Windows, but I moved them to linux and there I just compiled cgminer and off they went. You should *not* wait for the usb bootloader if you won't be flashing the firmware anyway. It works now and any fixes will have a marginal impact on performance. i2c chaining will not work, so you'll need to attach each one with USB instead. Other than that, they're good to go. I thought i2c chaining was still being worked on? Yes, but for those who get their miners shipped as-is, i2c chaining will not work. (unless you get a pickit3 and reprogram the firmware once and if i2c chaining enabled firmware is released) Thanks. One of the reasons why I have been waiting since I have no skills on pickit3 and was afraid of bricking the miners. Also i2c chaining was important for my situation. I wanted to refund but apparently my request was never "received". So I'm still stuck waiting. |

My brother just got his KNC miners today albiet late hashing at 200 or so Ghs. Here we are with no news or info still and we paid a premium yet nothing. What is being waited on just for info and only crumbs we get are from an intermediary? I'd rather have that news given directly.

I filled out that refund request on Sept 11 on batch 5 and still to have yet receive any notice. Lack of receipt or verification on where I stood has been frustrating. I waited because everyone on the forum posted it was taking 2 weeks or more. Then that E-mail was sent out about the refunds on Oct 2. I sent out an e-mail a few a days after that email to get some info about my refund and here I am almost over 1 month over since I sent that request and two weeks since I emailed on update yet I still have no info. My brother who at the same time has received shipping from KNC. I would at least have expected some answers with all that Btc on the line. Receipts for purchasing was done in a day or two in yet no answer for emails about refunds two weeks and counting.  |

Thanks for the info everyone. Reason I asked about the PSU and size was I was trying to figure out to fit it in a Ikea Helmer. This was where I saw a certain build. http://www.helmer-air.com/ edit* I also apologize if I derailed the topic from the chip purchases to psu and other topics. |

Steamboat. Will there be some type of control board for a psu to attach to and distribute power or would we have to short the psu to run it manually?

I deleted some post and it seems like it kicked me back to being a newbie.

I apologize if this has been answered and I have overlooked it in this thread. I would like to know the size of each board which is supposed to be 16 chips? How large are all those when placed all together? I have tried to check online and search forums on how they are size wise but have been able to see one. If anyone has a link to such information it would be very much appreciated.
I believe it's about 10cm x 10cm. If you get one of the assembly/kit options, they'll be installed on a K16. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.0 to track the development of the board. Thank you very much. That's the information I have been trying to find. |

Should be careful. Can probably damage hardware if you leave if unattended. How are you going to monitor temps or reduce workload if heat becomes an issue?
