Sorry, yes assumes static BTC/USD and difficulty, no-one knows on the former or the latter just gives a quick baseline to work from according to your own thinking and risk

EDIT: The reward drop isn't for nearly a year so didn't see the point including that, some people will have import duty on top and maybe PSU's as well.

Nice to see it's a lot cheaper than the $3000 that was previously mentioned, updated spreadsheet

Please don't give scammers ideas on how to improve

OP If you want to help others post more information

It may sound obvious but have you tried emailing support@kncminer.com for that enablecores.bin file

If memory serves me correctly, the VRM's are numbered clockwise starting with the left one where the power connects, finishing with the one on the right where the power connects.  I can't remember the firmware for the jupiter it was ages ago, but if it has the option to turn a die off then you could try that then feel the temperature on the VRM's to see the 'cold' one.

Looks like you found a good cause to replace your now defunct cloudminr sig

There are so many things that can be said about this, sadly most of them will just give the obviously stupid scammers tips for the next scheme, so I'll have to consider what to post.

The clubcoin is right out of the fibonnaci (sp?) and gaw playbooks, not only will they take your bitcoins you'll also end up being bagholders for their shitcoin.

The only thing that is 1000 about this is the chance of it being legit, 1000-1

That's hardly a suprise, every avalon retail product (since the first) has been months behind the competition in terms of effeciency, and priced way above what anyone else is charging.

Apart from an odd machine for those that like to have a new toy, I expect the only real sales they have are from volume buyers in china who must get a better deal.

This thread has lots of hosts, prices and feedback

It looked the same, but the background colour changed depending on how many people had that person on ignore. Started as white, then went through yellow through to orange. The darker it was, the greater the number of ignores (don't know what the numbers were)

Wow those are seriously hot, I fear for how long the machine can keep that up.

You could underclock them, that would reduce the temps a bit but I suppose some sort of ventilation even if not air con would help, you can get big 20" fans fairly cheap.

Must be a small room or lots of other miners, mine is just sat in a room with the air con and fans all off at the moment and is nowhere near those temps




You can set your own mining pool up, with MPOS or similar but the easiest way is to use the nicehash solo mining pool

The numbers can be tweaked for sure but if a mod has to intervene and delete x consecutive posts then the user is obviously doing something wrong, we aren't talking permanent ban only a temp one.

I notice in the modlog that a huge amount of the recent ones have been user 344575, as he lures a victim in another account becomes compromised and a new wave starts

Would a solution not be to automate the temp banning for a day or two of users when over x amount of their recent posts have been deleted over y time, this would stop the constant stream of them and take the workload off the mods, the temp ban can then be assessed by the admins ?

As of now there are 76 deletions on this account, that's maybe 73 that didn't need to be done if using 3 deletions in a row, or 3 in 24 hours as examples.

This is getting more into mining speculation but...

That presupposes several things.

1. That difficulty stays constant, if it rises that timescale increases
2. That the contract is still active, remember a fall in BTC price or an increase in difficulty could mean that it's cancelled before the term is up.
3. That the contract is worth what you paid for it in 9 months time which is highly doubtful.

Everyone has different opinions which is why hashnest has sold tons of mining hashrate, for me personally the reward is too low for the risk.

The 277 is just maths, I suspect the site you saw it on was using an old cost, difficulty or BTC/USD Rate.

It's good because Bitmain are a reputable manufacturer and have actual hardware.

Profitable, well I'd say no but others may disagree

Given a shipping cost of $90, and NO increase in difficulty, a handy table to see how ugly

I don't actually think KNC have a scrypt farm, the increase in hashrate when batch 1 was released was on a par with the number of machines sold.

They probably intended too, but the yield on the first batch of chips was so bad that they didn't have enough left over, and when the second batch was due to ship they had to start refunding people as they still didn't have enough chips to fulfill existing orders.

I suppose they could have ordered a 3rd batch, but the network hashrate has not reflected any large changes so it's not something that has happened yet and with the imminent block halving on LTC would be a brave move.

If you are having problems with VRM temps I used these on my Jupiters when they were overclocked and they are a perfect fit (and cheap), haven't needed them on the neptune or titan myself.

Not a request to do something about it at an admin level, I appreciate it's a losing battle, more an idea for a helpful thread to report them so people on default trust can watch the thread and tag them.

If they post in a thread then the option is there to report to a moderator which I would do, same with PM's but often I see a post where a user says they have received one, they may or may not have reported it so as a just in case.  I could leave trust but given the forums default being to hide untrusted feedback there's not much point.

I don't think so, I'm sure puppet said previously that he didn't intend for it to be an ongoing list (partially because there are so many springing up it would be a full time job)

The first post serves as a template to evaluate any new ones that turn up so it's still useful.

There are so few genuine ones that it's safe to assume anything new is a scam, the couple that are reputable will just lose you money as they are too expensive.
