Yeah that's what I'm referring to. Myself along with some others, at the very very very beginning, discussed this when we were talking about resales and becoming a US retailer. It was explained that, as that last quote said, it meant literally that you would receive additional hashpower at no cost, if you would not make a profit over your investment based in USD. For first time buyers, I believe it was like $240 for an X1.

They are relying on BTC value increasing so that in 45 days time (the window they gave us), you would get more than $240 back.

Just curious if this was still the case.

Thanks

Potcoin for sale: 0.000045BTC rate. Any takers?

Positive references available, no dodgy busines here. 

ny2cafuse can vouche for me.

Are you guys still going to offer more hash to your customers, as you discussed from day 1, to make sure they profit?

Which is why he still owes me 100BTC. Not that he likely even held that much to begin with.

Rather, maybe he should send me all of his STR?

This is also one of the primary attractants for me as well. They were still listing their products, including the Neptune, as modular designs with full upgrade capability, up until recently when I pointed out that they were advertising as modular despite not selling any modules.

They took that off pretty quick once it was pointed out ...

Legally speaking, the first 2 batches of Neptunes were sold under the guise of upgradability via modules. SOO..........

for what it's worth, i've won more than i've lost on satoshi dice. I wasn't the idiot who lost 50BTC in one day on satoshi. I also don't lose in casinos. I'm also not popular at them because of that reason. But damn if the drinks and food aren't worth it.


Board redesign and firmware, and they said they would take care of their customers. It still doesn't matter considering they're days away from shipping a more powerful chip than KNC.


85% of 2th is 1.7th. They have the system running between 1.6 and 1.7. Considering most ASIC equipment has a 10-15% variance between design and production, this is acceptable. Especially considering 1.7TH the first half of February is worth more than 2TH the last half of February. Time to market.


You can put the stickers on the boxes before it's certified, provided they're not shipped.

Regardless of the nuances of this discussion, KNC has failed to uphold its protection commitment to its customers. They've had 45 days to do it, and are still dragging their feet.

THAT is the point I'm making.

Guy after my own heart. Run it till the wheels fall off.. then push it further down the road.

Whether you wager .01btc or 50btc, it's still a wager, not a guaranteed payout. If you lose, you lose. Period.

With that being said, I've been tracking satoshidice for awhile, and what I can say is I find some of their stats to be 'curious', for lack of wanting to use a more controversial word. They're also not responding to inquiries related to certain betting addresses 'suddenly going offline' and then eventually coming back online, with the bet history missing, and the betters 'losing'. Happening more so with the higher-payout addresses than any others. They also reduced their payouts on the high-roller bets.

I stopped playing satoshidice once I noticed this pattern of downtime/losses. My gut tells me something is going on.

Back on topic, would be great if KNC had offered to do something like sell modules at the least. Competition has been shipping for 45 days now, and private BTC pools are growing from it. I had held BTC specifically for KNC order, but I can't hold any longer, and have used it elsewhere.

Cointerra is 3 days into their first couple batches running on their production lines, with the miners being boxed up and ready for shipment. They're only awaiting FCC/CE final approval, which should arrive this week. They're within 15% of their target hashgoal and power usage, and have said with some firmware updates they expect to reach original batch 1 target, and will be helping their batch 1 customers out.

KNC has fully dropped the ball on protecting their first 2 batch customers via their NPS. I guess there's a little BFL-ball-dropping in every startup company these days.

I think some of my rigs have it set to like 60 and some don't specify it at all, but all the rigs have the fans set to 100 I believe--I run aftermarket coolers on almost every card, so my situation may be different. In a thread on litecoinforum somewhere, I noted that there seemed to be a relationship between temperature and increased rejects on the tahiti cards. I'm sure it's plausible to see all sorts of varying results based on temperature.


Almost all the brands use the same chip and PCB layout, with some minor differences. My MSI 7950's performed better than my Sapphire, even with the same settings. I've found that sometimes underclocking the engine will give more performance, especially if it seems performance degrades with overclocking. Just have to toy with it sometimes. A good example would be ASUS 270X cards. I've got 3 or 4 brands of 270X cards, and all of them work like a champ on the same settings, except the ASUS. If I underclock the engine on that brand, then it springs to life. It's weird.

Also it's nice to be able to monitor wattage usage at the wall, because if you see wattage increasing but your hashrate isn't, then you know you're going wrong with the settings.


Thanks. Definitely didn't want to spend what little BTC I had left on repairs.. ugh.

Because you don't need R9's to reach 25mh, there are more cost effective ways. I'm almost at 25mh and I'm not at 10k/usd. And I don't think you're examining the full price of these units in USD. Depending on the unit, these are 1.5-2x similar GPU units, but the biggest benefit is the cut in wattage.

these actually cost 2x what a GPU rig would cost.

Haha.. I remember reading on a forum (from Josh I think, but perhaps someone else) that shipments were guaranteed to be out the door in mid-late January.

Already slipping. More. Although original ship date was March I believe, but they had been saying earlier until now.

With the level of efficiency they claim, I would imagine it not to be too loud, especially consdering some of the competing equipment I've seen lately which was passively cooled without issue.

I do like silence though, my 2.5mh rigs are around 19db, which is nearly silent.

So this weekend has just been the pits for me for mining hardware. I lose one motherboard with no spares on hand, and it'll be all week before I get another one. So there goes 2.5Mh. Then lastnight prior to bed, I smell some electric burning in the air. It's coming from the new MSI 270 rig. Not sure if it's the PSU, any of the GPUs, the USB risers or the motherboard, but after rebooting it, only 2 cards are being recognized. So there goes another 1.5mh. I'm down 4mh

C'est la vie.

If you want to push the card halfway over the cliff's egde, try these:

-I 20 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 24000 --gpu-engine 1130 --gpu-memclock 1250 --target-temp 65

I dunno if this will work for the windows version of cgminer but you could try this out, for 20-30kh more:

* Grab this file: http://goatpc.com/scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc24000w256l4.bin
* Put it in the cgminer folder where the other .bin files are. If you get a warning that you're going to overwrite a file, that's fine--this replaces it.

Those 2 things combined usually result in 700-710kh from Tahiti 7950's.

Chicken, yeah I stack them into tall racks of hash and warmth. Hehe. Aluminum sounds diesel! Mine isn't diesel, but I'd say it's about $10-$15 in material per rig, the majority of it being the PVC fittings.

If there was one 270 card I could get to replace my other 270's with, it would probably be the MSI 270.

Anyone wanna trade cards? Haha. I love the stability, and how easy it is to get high hash out of them. I'm going to see if I can source more and sell off my other 270's.

People forget bitcoin forked several times, and the fixes weren't immediate either. Folks were mining it still, some were buying it when it was like $1, some folks bought when a bitcoin was worth pennies.

And look at the value of bitcoin now ...

Coins worth mining have solid backing and longterm goals. An example is Bitcoin, Tagcoin, Litecoin. Coins NOT worth mining are gimmick coins.. I won't badmouth any of those here, but it'll be obvious to most to see the difference between a gimmick and something with business/investor-backing.
