Sales are suspended temporarily. Please check back soon.

really not a good sign! prepare your mind to expect the worst from this startup!

where are the US located forum members? I guess they discuss with their lawyer the possibility to declare insolvency to avoid refund? and maybe start new with a second company with a technologie transfer?

might this possible? they have a good lawyer so it's unimportant to keep this idea secret. they had have crisis meetings for sure.

It's sure possible and done frequently, as a private company it may in fact be a good option at the moment, leaving all of the potential issues in the hands of the current corporation.. With that said executives still need work work a little extra hard to be protected, it's not a slam dunk less they took the proper steps already..
1302  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New CloudHashing contracts ($9.49 for 1 Gh/s) are NOT profitable? on: January 02, 2014, 02:07:47 PM
So you speculate on the BTC difficulty increases yet do not speculate on any BTC price increases aside from a mention at the end. That is the game anyone plays with them, and the math they need to run through to determine if one will be profitable and you are right that it needs to come into it or no one will make money, that is true now and has always been true for them aside from the short time BTC was above $1200 USD.

@padrino, they already retained a first level silicon valley lawyer.

That's good news, the poster implied he was going to negotiate with the CEO himself since they have "talked" before and his language made me think we was not a Laywer

Could the question of Jupiter sales if and when have anything to do with some customer trying to buy up as many as possible?  We see photos of major hashing facilities where were they, in Hong Kong and Iceland?  Those big facilities can operate on a thin margin and make a good profit while that same rate of return for small miners would be a big disappointment. But how would that lack of information limit sales to a buyer with the money, it wouldn't.

For the last time the piece on a facility in Iceland was Cloud Hashing. They had a big order in the beginning and have not been sold anything more than what was in that initial order.

So Cloud Hashing hasn't ordered any Neptune's?  Any other similar operations ordering a giant amount of Neptune's going forward?

I can't say they have 0 orders for Neptunes but they jumped in heavy with Cointerra this time, building a new Data Center right by Cointerr'a TX facilities. If anyone has the luxury of making the decision today Cointerra would probably be the best bet at the moment, 2TH/s in January is a solid play.

Update:
 I already got 4 people that are interested in joining my efforts to get proper compensation for Batch 1 customers
 I am contacting CEO of the HF to start negotiations on behalf of number of customer. I had conversation with him before.


Are you a Lawyer? Asking because in a situation like this I recommend a Lawyer have the conversation with the CEO, how you say what you want to say is very important, and if the CEO is worth his salt he will get coached by his Lawyer ahead of time... Heck I suspect like any company they have someone on retainer, it's not specific to Hashfast but a reality of the market, good company or not..
1307  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] KnC Miner Neptune 3Ths december order on: January 01, 2014, 09:09:22 PM
if you check the status of your order with the order number it shows new , where as it would show paid if it was a paid and ready order , do contact knc support to clear it if you paid for it

Agreed, no reason to bump up the thread on an unpaid order...
1308  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] KnCMiner Jupiter - NOT preorder but stock. on: January 01, 2014, 06:05:57 PM
Will you ship to the US, no problems using escrow I assume?
1309  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: January 01, 2014, 05:28:47 PM
Yes. As i wrote, it was a good news in the respect of that topic.



This is the rationale way to fight with someone that can put down 10k-100k$ a day in advertising.

I'm by no means defending them but the pricing is based on the general popularity of the words used.. Based on words they are placing in they are well under $250 per day if not quite a bit lower..
1310  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking on: January 01, 2014, 03:05:29 PM

(remove a lot of useful info)

At the end the default-settings for Advanced tuning works best (for now), BUT after playing with those
settings, and at the end setting all the Advanced tuner settings back to original values(manually) resulted in the worst performance of 250 Gh/s and the only remedy was to reflash the FW.
I'll play again with the settings after next diff change.


it's quite peculiar.

in my experience an overclocked die need more voltage to keep the number of disabled cores low.

e.g. on my 211 asic board I get at least 20 and 15 cores disabled in the first and the third die respectively if I left the same voltage settings used for 1F1. I had to set it way higher to get almost all cores enabled, and after that another bump has been  necessary to lower the error rate.

Speaking of power consumption:  all dies across the boards are between 45 and 49 Amps. I have different OC settings  for each board. The higher is 211 the lowest 1F1 and I've noticed that despite the OC settings and factoring out the voltage settings, the 4th die of each board is the one that drain more energy. 



I suspect the variability in the quality of the boards has quite a bit to do with it.. It's a crude comparison but that same challenge exists with CPU or GPU overclocking... I say crude because in those cases you are talking about millions of parts, but the same core concepts hold, variability in ASIC quality and quality of a given board build being two of the most important things.

I'm glad you posted of the issue and think it's good to make the community aware of the issue, but as a professional penetration tester (since you keep bringing it up) I would think you would follow industry best practices and not post the technical details in your initial posting, but give the vendor time to address the issue.

In addition to that it's not even a hack, but a weakness in a vanilla vendor configuration putting users at risk.

I think you have the best intentions in mind but you are not conducting yourself as professionally as you could, especially given your career...

Since KnC does not reply when i attempt to warn them, the best way to bring things to their attention is by involving the users/owners/customers.

The information i posted here, is nothing more than public source information as shown on their own Github page.

Believe me, no critical information is display on this forum. The information provided here is useless to so called 'hackers' trying to abuse miners.
If all details that i supplied to KnC are leaked, all public online miners are hacked within a 2 hour timespan.

I'm not looking to receive credits, badges or rewards by this exploit. I just want to prevent a massive miner attack.

Fair enough, apologize for jumping too quick on it.. A quick glance at your first post indicated enough was available, didn't realize it was missing some things...
1312  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: KnC Miner : Security hacked - Take remote control over miner! on: January 01, 2014, 02:23:52 PM
Yes, well posting ANY DETAILS should put the pressure on KnC to patch up their firmware.

To the person claiming i hacked their rig, i bruteforce 28 miners under 20 minutes, that's about 50 seconds/miner.
What are you complaining about 3 hours non activity for you miner?

Second of all, your http is seperated from the mining activity itself. Even if i bruteforce your miner for 24h, you'll never notice this.

Third of all, POST SOME LOGS THEN!!! That's why logs are made for anyway.

Last but not least, if i DID hacked your machine, it would not even be visible to you.

I am not a 15yr old scriptkiddie trying to hack into every account i see.
I'm a 30+ professional security penetration tester.

But fine to me, next time, i'll post nothing, and get your rigs hacked then.
Underground is already offering me +150 BTC for all details, be glad i keep it to myself instead of thinking i would hack your lame rig with almost no profit according to your blockchain....

Bitcoin is about the community. That's why i keep this public and not underground, so all users can patch up before massive attacks start!
Or are you so naive to think i'm the only one who can discover this...

I'm glad you posted of the issue and think it's good to make the community aware of the issue, but as a professional penetration tester (since you keep bringing it up) I would think you would follow industry best practices and not post the technical details in your initial posting, but give the vendor time to address the issue.

Ok you win, 7 BTC is a great bid.
1316  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: CoinTerra Engineering Update: Packaged chip and system board assembly on: December 31, 2013, 10:02:21 PM
Wish I found Cointerra earlier, by the time I did they were into March units...
1317  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] Oktober KnC Miner Jupiter +550Gh/s Europe based on: December 31, 2013, 07:31:51 PM
really interested in this.. might be willing to drive to come collect.. where u based in EU? i'm in UK but can have a road trip Smiley

Fuzzybear

Near to brussels Smiley

Should make a nice trip anyway
Ok looking at traveling costs would you accept 6.5 BTC for the device picked up tomorrow? or I take it S1lverbox offer is the best that u are looking to beat?
Fuzzybear

Current bid is 10 btc, but not confirmer

Since you said everything in the thread looking through the thread but don't see any 10 BTC bids... Is the offer going to be posted in the thread by the potential buyer?
1318  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking on: December 31, 2013, 03:54:19 AM
~650Gh-ish and would steadily fall.

Binary I made that works on the november unit I have for dev, untested on prior units (but should work): http://vpn.wizkid057.com/nas/cgminer-binary-wizdev20131222

-wk

Thanks for posting.. Gave it a shot on my October.. Spewing out 6-8 HW errors per second on the console.. The hash rate on the pool settled about 10% less than it was before so I reverted back..

Interesting experiment, I assumed the performance would be similar to yours but I guess there are more differences between October and November than I would have first guessed.
1319  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hacking KNC Firmware 0.99-E? on: December 31, 2013, 03:50:08 AM

But that thread only hacked the October batch. Am I missing something?  Huh

You should be able to follow the same process for November, look through the thread there are November users in there..
1320  Economy / Auctions / Re: KNC MINER 673 GH+ Auction 48 hour! on: December 31, 2013, 12:47:35 AM

I will send picture upon request!


Please post the pics then on this thread.

Who will you escrow with?  Danny Hamilton or John K okay?

I second that.. Post a picture to the thread, identify trusted escrow provider and I will throw in as well..
