Just buy 1 or more TL-WR703N off ebay for $22. That's almost the same as a wifi dongle price wise, but instead you get a tiny router that gives you an Ethernet port to connect to your KNC and act as Wifi client, and a usb port that potnetially could run other miners. With a switch you can have many.
Adding Wifi to a device just raises the cost for all those that don't want it, and as far as chips go wifi is fairly costly, probably more than a microcontroller.
I've got a few of these and they're very useful for many things, like being a repeater or print server etc. You need to load openwrt on it so you have an English interface. Just a couple clicks to do.
Yeah those look neat, will def. purchase some, don't think I will require more than 2 ports as plan on plugging in no more than 2 into a circuit. Also, when people are buying a 2-8K machine I don't think most will care that the cost is $10-30 more due to built in wifi. I'd rather have the wifi than having to buy a router, and ethernet cables, it would be almost the same cost as them building something in.

lol, yes because i forgot we all love having wires everywhere, they are so nice. fucking retard. I hope you plug your laptop in and have a 200 foot ethernet cable to walk around the house with. Ohh but yet again, you probably just have one stationary desktop to be confined too, since trolls need confinement. so you're going to take your KnCMiner for a walk around the house? You clearly missed the whole point, KNCMINER as in a single miner, I plan on having multiple KNCMiners, which will require the power to be spread out across different circuits, which according to the multiples of dumbasses to stay wired, which would require running ethernet wires room to room, like a complete moron.

Wifi is for poor people who demand poor quality products. Kind of the k-mart of networking.

Ohh but yet again, you probably just have one stationary desktop to be confined too, since trolls need confinement. Maybe they can make tablets with ethernet ports so we can plug into them, and bring back the "High Quality" No, just have smaller systems around the house, which has 4 gige ports per room, to connect to real hardware in a computer room via X tunneling. Please learn to troll beyond a 3rd grade level. what 4 ports what? what are you saying?

What website is that again?

WiFi is not reliable technology and could not be used where 100% uptime is desired
Used my wifi for 2 months 24hrs a day with 100% uptime.

yeah you would have to buy a bridge, all i know is that it's pretty stupid to not have wifi, even if you kept everything in the same room, the wires will make such a mess. I've run my miners for 2 months straight over wifi and zero problems.

Guys,
I found out a few days ago when I asked KnC, about a if the miners will support wifi, and was told no that they only have 3 ethernet ports. If anyone plans on having multiple miners dealing with being plugged in is going to be a pain. Especially if you are moving your miners to different rooms to not trip circuit breakers.
Also, USB ports would be useful for communicating with the device, I'm sure alot of community members will come up with tweaks and neat things, where a Ethernet port can't do.
Secondly, You can always replace a wifi adapter if it fails with a USB port.
Anyway please vote, so we can have Knc take a look at it, and hopefully implement this feature, if it doesn't delay anything.

Avalon should just die out already, they are a fail piece of shit company. They still haven't delivered some peoples batch 1 orders!!! Why anyone would buy bulk orders of chips from them is amazing. Ohh Avalon shipped 1 whole batch yay!!! If we go by those numbers BFL has shipped a batch also, but they still suck.

Hello All, I have a beautiful vision and design for a gaming tablet/PC. Intel has come up with powerful enough engines with the new Iris, to run most games on mid settings perfectly fine. There will be no dedicated GPU, just to cut down on the power, heat, fans, ect. There is currently nothing worthwhile that replaces a tablet and laptop into one device, without stupid add on keyboards, and docks. This will combine the tablet and keyboard into a very thin and elegant device. Think macbook thin. I have some VC contacts, and also have a contact with intel capital, which told me if I can get the project moving a little they would be interested. I would of done most of this on my own, but my background is in Finance, even though I am very technical and geeky, I just don't have the knowledge to take something up like this myself. I'm looking for an hardware engineer to help with the hinge design and actual hardware prototyping. Things that would probably help: You work with a big company, Intel, Google, Apple and possibly have access to prototyping means and tools. Have had past experience in product development from beginning to end, such as supply chain, chips, ect. Have a keen love for design and art. Anyway just tossing this out there, see what kind of interest I get hopefully something good comes out of it, maybe I can try to crowd fund it also, who knows. Below is an image of the design, this would be in PC mode: Thanks for looking

wait wait this comming from the guy who would nitpick random facts about KNCMiner, comming up with the most absurd theories, and goes on to say BFL is assembling 400 units/day because well you know JOSH said so. Have you lost your mind, or your account hacked?
sarcasm is turned on high bro I think it was turned on high w/ bass boost, equalizer settings all the way up, and it blew out the speakers.

What's the bottom line eta for these guys?
according to them 5-6 months, december? january?

Why not continue ot mine here and then buy ltc with btc you will have?
Very true grasshopper haha, thanks for the idea lol.

Guys since the latests fixes i have went from earning $9.96 to $12.48 which is an increase of 25.3%, i might hop off the pool just to mine ltc to speculate on it going to gox.
But this pool is amazing.

Are your hash rates reporting properly in stats? Mine are off by 1mh

You can tell pretty easily which coin it is mining ...
Currently it is fastcoin ... Difficulty shown by cgminer: 63.5k
divided by 65532 = 0,96899 = Difficulty of Fastcoin (according to coinchoose)
Way to let the cat out of the bag fallout. Coinchoose shows different difficulty. Don't know where he got those numbers from. Also that's not the right coin to be mining when other factors are taken into consideration we are mining a coin that is currently less profitable than litecoin. Coinchoose shows 0,96828 ... cgminer only shows 3 digits of difficulty, so of course you get a small error when dividing by 65532 ... right now its nibble ... (118k/65532 = 1,8 ... nibble diff = 1,79893) But still .... don't know how the pool chooses which coin to mine Coinchoose showed 1.44 for fastcoin

Speaking on the algorithim you should change it as one person mentioned based on the buys. I would go a step further and even calculate how many coins the combined hashing power will make and if there is enough volume to take the sell orders. And switch based on a combination of these factors.
The algo should keep scanning the prices for example say we just sold 30k coins and the price went down, where its unprofitable then go to next coin until that buy support gets taken out also then next ect.
This is just off the top of my head im sure if we all actually think about it could make it even better.
