No, the smallest hashes are always best.

To find a block you must find a hash that is below the current target. As the difficulty goes up, the target goes down, making it more difficult to find a hash that is below the target.

To win the race you must find a hash that is below the hashes of the other miners in the race.

I believe this dance was inspired by Bitcoin mining: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo_%28dance%29

I wasn't aware of that
It's a good thing I keep a copy on my computer. Here's a link for those how want to download firmware 0.97 : http://1t4pro.1fichier.com/en/index.html

0.98 isn't working out for me.
Back to 0.97.

whoa, 426m! you solved a block! coooool

For the last 80 pages or so the only thing I actually want to see from KNC is that demonmaestro and CYPER get their miners.

The majority has been for sure yes, for the last week I have had plenty to catch up from loose ends and other work that's not KnC related that have been neglected in the interim. In any case no one has stopped pulling late nights to resolve issues, and multiple have cropped up along the way. Murphy has remained omnipresent, but all in all the work ethic here has been stella. With all due respect, I'm not about to get in a slanging match.


Cypher you sent me a few wordy emails at a time when things became very busy, do not take it personally, I've helped you in the past, and tried to help you then, but have you any idea how much more active my PMs have become subsequent. People keep using me as a route to customer services, which I'm not. I try to help people because I'm kind, and good natured. Note: 'kind', not to be mistaken with 'nice', people abuse that. Not saying you are one of them, but your messages are now under a mountain of others, and I feel I have done more than enough favours unrewarded to be fair. Just being honest, I'm not asking for anything, my time is limited now, and I have been doing a lot more unaknowledged work in ensuring everyone gets a what they want. Nico's (Jelin1984) miner was one I repaired and he should now be v.happy. There have been multiple others, on top of a plethora of other things I have been doing behind the scenes. Most here have had multiple roles subsequent as others take priority over fixing issues that are greater cause for concern as, and when.



Nope never said that. You're putting words in my mouth. As I said before please don't mistake kindness, for niceness. I'm not customer services, they have people for that. But after everything I have done, people are either demanding, or nasty, some have been ultra cool, but for my time is worth, a handful have tipped me a few beers, that's it's, in total, aside Bargraphics 1BTC, it's pretty sad isn't it thinking about it? yet now many demand attention through PMs. I've never asked for anything, I'm not greedy, but there's only so much time in the day. Honestly, and to say I'm a little miffed at how a lot of this forum has treated me is an understatement.


As I said before, personally all things considered, no bias, I've been amazed at how they have coped. Murphy, and 'competitors' have thrown as much shit as they could to see what sticks, and the guys (and girls) at KnC have risen above it, rolled their sleeves up and got on with it. I think shipping is now complete I believe. This is still nuts, they've taken a huge risk raising funds, risked their credibility to deliver on millions of non-recurring engineering costs with a bleeding edge tech of a typical 24month R&D phase and produced it in a little over 4 months. That's the fastest 28nm concept to manufacture, ever, in any industry. Sure there has been some smoothing out, and yes it delayed them completing shipping by two weeks. Note a real two weeks, but as I predicted prior your 'closest' competition appeared to be hiding truths from you all along. There's a comfortable amount of competition free mining time ahead whilst they are delayed, on top of which Avalon never delivered the hashrate they promised, so there is in fact less competition currently to boot. All along I have been insulted, abused, and a caused of lying for pointing out and reasoning honest common sense advice as I saw it.

KnC have more customer service staff starting over the next week, or two and can concentrate on being more active on their forum, but the focus currently always has been delivery of physical products, and firmware that has the devices performing stable at promised spec, which remember for the most part was between 250, and 400 Gh/s for Jupiter. Bare in mind their CS staff have to be fluent in multiple languages, as well as an understanding of Bitcoin, and have to learn the CRM software quick. The staff here are superb, and it would make their lives a hell of a lot easier if people took the time to do simple searches to simple problems and allow them to deal with those that genuinely require assistance. I've actually gone through a lot of the returned equipment at points personally, and there is little wrong with it. Many boards genuinely just needed a firmware patch and to enable cores. There's quite a few bricked beagle ones coming back because people are listening to bad advice about how to upgrade CGMiner and are deleting root files. Some a sending back full Jupiters with working hashing modules as opposed to firing up each one individually and pre determining which module is poor, if one exists.

No ones claiming to be perfect, extreme speed to market, and extreme perfection was never an option, thats's why margins existed. Perfection will come as the product and the issues become more recognised by KnC as well as customers, otherwise you can wait the standard 18-24 months it takes for product refinement at this die shrink. You were one of the last to order from the October batch, you product will arrive tomo possibly, you have a superb firmware that's now stable, and a lot less competition than expected for the foreseeable future.

Tehfriend, noted...

No like everyone else i've been working my ass off. On top of which i've been to three different countries.

I've spoken to plenty through PM.

I might add for everything i've done in the past I have gained the princely sum of just over 1BTC in tips, aside Bargraphics who was generous enough to drop 1 BTC. So cheers.

Also, and it's nothing personal to you, you aren't one, but i'm not engaging with the trolls that now leap on me every-time i engage with any convo on this forum, so please don't make assumptions...

I brought this up the other day.

In essence, the hosting has to be resolved fully first.

Once that is complete. A stock count can be made and then additional boars can be sold as upgrade boards.

Originally the upgrade boards were to be sold in November.

That may well be the case, but they are being sold, as some people bought Mercuries, and Saturns on the premise of purchasing upgrades at a later date. In any case, it's not been forgotten...

Sorry Cyper, they are bs-ing you if they said this meant it was shipped. I had the same situation. Shipping info recieved only means dhl have been informed. Tomorrow you will get the "Shipment picked up" in the morning. Then the day after it should be delivered. So prob it will arrive on the 31st

a lot of people have issues with dhl .I never got contacted by them.i contacted them after 3 days and they told me the next day by luck..also in my state in the Midwest they only have 1 place to pick it up the capital ...if you miss the truck guy (even with note) and they are "contract" drivers ie not DHL .they won't leave the package...according to a nice dhl rep they may feel they could get jam'd up by dhl so won't leave it....better safe then sorry take it back to the capital....

it is pretty rinky dink in the states ....so call this number talk to a rep....you may get a tracking number out of them at this point


phone is 1-800-225 5354 (I think) or check the www.dhl.com site

it took like 4 days to get to me by the by..my box was trashed had to be held together with two hands.but my miner works well..so the soggy box helped imho it was probably "hand carried" rather then tossed from Sweden

anyway just my experience call to play it safe...one other guy on here had no zip code and it was on its way back to Sweden another guy had another issue..so it saved my butt and 2 others so far that 1-800-225-5354 number..if I have the 800 number wrong google it

good luck

Order 64XX  Shipped... ABOUT damn time.  only 13 days late. Lets see how long it takes to get to me. I paid for one day shipping.

That's tomorrow to you in the UK most likely. Mine took almost exactly a day. Good to hear.

Get a refund instead and try to buy 21 btc if you're new.  you'll own 1/1m of the entire btc economy.

They owe you some compo for that. That's 2 weeks late now. Ridiculous.
