Why is. Not at official knc site?
the firmware wouldn't be official until they officially announce it and upload to the support area of the KNC main web site. if you're a nerd especially you would understand this |

thanks wizkid.. rejects seem on the rise, but I I'm liking the extra hash rate  I'll report back after 12 hour run. Cheers |

Thanks for your hardwork and efforts wk,
For your information, your dev patch for Nov Jupiter is already almost as perfect as it can be. It's even better than any KnC firmwares they have churn out so far, and even better than your own dedicated KnC server. They should really hire you as their staff. Hehe!
Where this patch can be found? I found this from another KnC thread. This is the link to the file posted by wk himself : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313978.msg4229913#msg4229913 (post #235) If you are wondering how to apply it to the Nov Jupiter, you need to have access to SSH and enter the following command : wget http://vpn.wizkid057.com/nas/cgminer-binary-wizdev20131222
chmod +x cgminer-binary-wizdev20131222
screen -dm ./cgminer-binary-wizdev20131222 -c /config/cgminer.conf
screen -d -r To restore, just reboot your machine or reflash stock KnC firmware. You will know it's working if you see the CGminer version is upgraded to 3.8.5 which is provided by wk patch. Stock 0.99E run 3.8.1, and the newer 0.99.1E runs 3.9.0. I find his patch perform better on the stock 0.99E firmware. I've tried ' cgminer-binary-wizdev20131222' as described above in my October Jupiter and hash rate up from 550GH/s to 573GH/s, HW errors down from 1.8% to 0.7% and Rejects about 0.8% (but not running very long yet, but I will re-post after running for 12 hours. BTW I'm runnig 0.95 firmware) but I haven't seen this before in cgminer when viewing with 'screen -r'... eg. KnC: HW Error XXXXXXXX - work_id: XXXXX <-- is it normal to see many of these? |

BTCGuild = 3% Fee (Thats ALOT when it comes to bigger BTC amounts)
Eligius = due to some problems i seem to get there around 2% less than ghash.io
So it DOES matter where you mine.
I get just under 4% less 'hashrate' at GHASH than BTCGuild which would counteract the 'fee', there are also (unconfirmed) missed payments - never quite managed to corroborate it, but certainly the ppol has found more blocks than the 'popup' message has notified me that i've received payment for the block YMMV, but personally I only allow the traded ghs from cex to mine at ghash. I also get ~4% less hashrate at Eligius than I do a BtcGuild, but some people are blinded by 0% pool fees. They may actually be losing out in the long run. minus BTCGuild's 3% fee and your clearing a WHOPPING 1%... it amazes me how blindly greedy some people are around here also if you used eligius you would have known that wizkid has been working on his own version of cgminer for KNC miners that can net you an extra 10% 5% or more hashing power. |

Yes, Neptunes will be gone very soon as it seems...
Curious whether there will be another batch of Jupiters 'coz there's a risk for KnCMiner that many might jump the Neptune ship and switch over to some Jupiters they get way earlier.
Yes thanks for sticking your reseller ID around the image  He's only 3 off a Neptune now. Good work! he could of sold more than 7 as they don't get updated that often. I've sold more through my reseller ID and figures haven't changed yet, even when I login to my reseller account. |

Thanks organofcorti,
I'll be looking forward to seeing your detailed stats

Can overclocked Jupiter with 4vrm or not??
yes, it was originally OC'ed for the 4VRM boards. Many thanks to tolip_wen and others here. and thanks to joeventura for a very nicely written tutorial to follow.
If you don't know how to SSH into your Miner with PuTTY then there is going to have to be some payment for me to write you a tutorial with screen shots.
Here are the full instructions, hopefully you know how to SSH into your Miner with PuTTY
DISCLAIMER: Not my fault if you blow it up! Smiley
Ok first make sure your Miner is updated with the .99 Firmware (tuning)
Then with Putty SSH into your miner
login with your root ID
and your password
type:
screen -r
You will see cgminer running.
Hit Q to stop cgminer
then type this at the command prompt:
vi /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh
Use the cursor keys on your keyboard to scroll down till you see this code:
Look for the line that says:
cmd=$(printf "0x86,0x%02X,0x01,0xF1" $c)
NOTE: some of the characters at the end (especially the F1) may be different.
The key is the line with the 0x86, when you see that you are on the right line.
change this:
cmd=$(printf "0x86,0x%02X,0x01,0xF1" $c)
to this:
cmd=$(printf "0x86,0x%02X,0x02,0x11" $c)
Hit escape when finished. Then hit the : key, then x to save and exit
relaunch cgminer with the command line:
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart
You should then see cgminer and you should be hashing between 150-154 per module. (Saturn should be 300-310GH)
NOTE:
If you don't know how to use VI then you can screw things up
here is a shortcut,
when you move the cursor over the 1 in "0x01" that you want to change to a 2, do this:
hit r
then hit 2
and it should Replace the 1 with a 2
then do the same with the F
hit r
then hit 1
Hit escape
then hit the COLON which is ":"
then type
wq
then
<enter>

From what I understand, 51%'ing a network does no harm unless the pool operator has bad intentions.
Why risk it though? What does ghash.io give you that BTCGuild or eligius doesnt? Compared to BTCGuild: 0% fees Compared to Eligius: less variance I started mining with them around 3am UK time on 03.01.2014, so in about 1 hour that will be exactly 1 week mining. My average hashrate is 3200GH/s. For that 1 week period I have mined 8.54603089BTC exactly (not counting the last 1 hour of the full 1 week), while the calculator says 7.94166635 BTC per week. So (8.54603089/7.94166635)*100 = 107.6% luck So all looks good. that's a bit greedy.. you'd rather risk the bitcoin network and go against Shatoshi Nakamoto's design just for a little extra coins. even ghash.io has admitted that they are a threat to the bitcoin network and will make good... but still there are a few people that just don't care Ghash.io is far from having 50% of the network, but yet people freak out. Obviously it is impossible to predict their exact share as this is based on previously solved blocks and luck, but roughly it is around 40% currently, which is far from 50%. According to http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ total hashrate is close to 16PH/s Ghash.io has 4.7PH/s That's less than 30% If they get really close to 50% then I will surely move out. I hope you hold up to your word. Any way you seem to be doing well your 3TH plus mining farm  the reason they fell back from 42% to now 39% is because there's been a few miners pulling out for the reason of protecting the bitcoin network. |

I'm beginning to think the Jupiter's aren't going to launch. Every time I talk to KNC they make it sound like they still have no plans and they make it sound like the Neptune is coming first.
I think the amount of people wanting to cancel their Neptune's for more Jupiter's is quite high and they might be questioning themselves now.
People aren't stupid. The difficulty is going to run away from everyone. KNC is going to obliterate the diff once again like they did last year and people want to mine now rather than wait.
I beleive also when KNC announced that they were going to sell new Jupiters and the reason for saying keep your coins handy, was sort of saying to us don't refund but save up some coins to buy Jupiters. otherwise their statement would of been get ready to refund Neptunes to buy Jupiters. I think KNC had all good intentions to help us protect our part of the network but to many idiots fucked it for us. And I don't think saying, oh I just wanted refund because of power concerns. one we knew the approx power consumption was going to be high, and two these refunds suddenly began after the announcement of new Jupiter being offered. |

these are my 9 Bi-Fury USB miners in action. I'm only using USB 2.0 hubs and has been hashing very well from 4.6GH/s to 4.9GH/s See at pics below.    at first I couldn't get them to work in either bfgminer or cgminer but finally realized that if I run cgminer first and hot plug them into the USB ports one by one then cgminer would recognize them as BitFury. I don't mind what they are recognized as, as long as they work. BTW, they are recognized by windows 7 in 'Devices & Printers' as 'Bi-Fury'. |

doesn't the bitcoin foundation stop any pool from hitting 51%? I'm not sure but didn't BTC Guild or 50BTC stop new registrations a few months back when they nearly reached 51%? or wouldn't GHash.io stop themselves as 51% could potentially destroy bitcoin and/or devalue bitcoin? |

Hi Inglewood, do you think you can also offer Sony Playstation 4.? these don't have power supply bricks and they can take 120v to 240v auto switchable, plus they'd be heaps smaller package making easier and cheaper to ship. I'd be first to buy one of these.  Cheers merv77 They're sold out almost everywhere, sorry. And places that are selling them are selling them overpriced thanks for the reply. maybe when they become available one day |

isn't this cheating, no? if you clicked someones reseller link then that link served it's purpose.. isn't that the idea of a reseller link that someone clicks? I never asked KNC to change my Neptune to my reseller link.. it simply does make sense. |

Cypher, you know about electricity, how many Neptunes do you think I can run off a warehouse with 3 phase? Thanks are there any PSU that you can buy that run on 3 phase power? I don't think so and never seen one myself |

Deposits, yes, but how to cash out?
withdrawals are fine and they even lowered the fee |

Can someone help me understand how and when nmc payouts are made?
Thanks,
James
this is how I have it setup downloaded namecoin wallet and copied namecoin wallet address in eligius configurable options into NMC Merged Mining Addr: text box, and then you have to sign configurable options with bitcoin wallet address (used at eligius) in signature text box and submit changes, I use Bitcoin-qt wallet to sign address that I use at eligius. Namecoins payments are mostly paid on a daily basis |

I don't know if this has been metioned before but I had email from BTCChina that they are accepting deposits again... See below New Year’s Greeting from BTC China January 7, 2014 Dear Customers, Happy New Year! 2014 is here, and on behalf of BTC China, I would like to take the opportunity to personally wish you a happy and prosperous new year. Looking back, 2013 was a huge year for Bitcoin, attracting worldwide attention. From our humble beginnings in the summer of 2011, BTC China has followed Bitcoin’s rise and has grown steadily with your support. We thank you for that. On December 16, we made an extremely difficult decision to abruptly raise our trading commission fees, back to the standard 0.3% level before we eliminated fees in late September. I would like to sincerely apologize for the abrupt nature of that decision, where we were not able to adequately notify our users, and give a proper explanation. The actual circumstances were complicated, and I assure you it was a difficult but necessary decision at that time. Due to imminent regulatory threats at that time, we felt we had to proactively reintroduce trading commissions, in order to promote a more sustainable Bitcoin trading atmosphere, with lower volatility. We now strongly believe that a zero-commission fee structure creates a frictionless trading environment, which causes large price volatilities, and encourages market speculation. By re-introducing a trading commission, we hope to foster a healthier marketplace, aiming for better price stability, to benefit Bitcoin in the long term. I hope you can understand our decision. Now, I am excited to share with you three exciting things that we have put in place: Maker-Taker fee structure. This new innovative fee structure will maintain a small 0.3% commission for traders, while rewarding market makers with a rebate. (The reward is effectively a “negative” commission, for market makers.) In summary, our company will still not be making money in commission revenue, giving all the benefits to our customers. By having a trading commission, this will reduce market volatility and reduce wild price fluctuations, which we believe is good for the entire Bitcoin market and ecosystem. BTCC Voucher for deposits. This is BTC China’s new CNY deposit method, with many unique advantages. You can buy it easily from our network of resellers; it can be instantly credited into your BTC China account for trading. Best of all, BTCC Vouchers have no CNY withdrawal fees. They can be traded freely, and do not have geographical restrictions. You can now purchase BTCC Vouchers from our large list of recommended resellers, with some even offering a discount off of the face value. You can now get instant savings by using these BTCC Vouchers. Reduction of CNY Withdrawal Fee: From popular demand, and to benefit bitcoin sellers, we have reduced our CNY withdrawal fee from 1.0% down to 0.5%. We thank you for suggesting this. BTC China is the first and longest running Bitcoin exchange in China. We are committed to being the best Bitcoin platform in China. We know that trading commissions alone is not the only criteria to measure the value and attractiveness of a Bitcoin exchange. Instead, we hope to bring our loyal customers the best combination of high quality customer service, new products and services, in a Bitcoin exchange that is fully in compliance with regulatory authorities. In recent months, we have faced periods of extremely high traffic, where our servers and customer service teams were not able to meet our desired level of service to our customers. I apologize for that, and we will work extra hard this year, to improve our technology capabilities and grow our customer service team. We have recently expanded our dedicated customer service team to over one dozen full-time employees, and they are passionate and ready to serve you and handle all of your support needs, now on a true 24-by-7 basis. We will continue to lead the market through innovative products and services. (Have you tried our newest hosted wallet product, Picasso?) As the market leader in China, we will continue to invest in R&D and operations, continue to recruit talented people, and continue our mission of bringing Bitcoin to China, in a sustainable manner. 2014 is already here. Despite the ups and downs that the Bitcoin industry has experienced in 2013, BTC China is committed to building the best Bitcoin platform, so we will never give up. We humbly ask for your continued support, as we go down this journey together. We will continue to grow this company, to offer you the best products and services, this year and for many years to come. As always, we would love to hear your feedback. Please email us at business@btcchina.com. Best Wishes, Bobby Lee BTC China CEO, Co-Founder https://www.btcchina.com/ |

.... Only a question of liquidity - Cash flow management is not a higher art.... I think KnC will exactly face that problem - The second they offer Jupiters (which I doubt they will do) - they are going to face significant amount of Neptune refund requests. At least me - I would dump all my "somewhen" in Q1/Q2 Neptunes for "in-hand" Jupiters. Jupiter is a proven product - Neptune not. This exactly what I mean, you think KNC will sell Jupiters now with a comment like this... No chance... If I were KNC I would reject anyone buying Jupiters that asked for refund of Neptunes.. full stop.. You think they are stupid and want to lose money |
