Anyone got tracking numbers today?

Check that url regularly. There is an update listing in the newsletter of Oct 5. It says that tracking numbers go out at 14:30 pm CET time if you are lucky.

using .92/.93 lead to very frequent cgminer restart. something like a restart every 30-50secs.

I can corfirm the restarts but not the interval at my Saturn running 0.93.
It looks like mine restarts (cgminer) 1-2x per hour.
This is really annoying, as the system seems to startup at slow hashing rate (80GH ?) and takes
some minutes to get up to full speed.

Anyone have a hint where to find the logfiles on their Unix?

Anyone tried to setup ssh public-key authentication by creating a /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys (chmod 600)?
It's not working for me.

Here, have a bone.
This request is neither unrealistic nor is it in any way unheard of. Even If it's not 50% (but depending on the delay it should be!) but 25%, it is still common practice to do so. It is basically the opposite of Skonto, where you pay less if you pay within a given timeframe.
As long as both sides are okay with it everybody wins. And right now I don't feel happy at all with standardised answers from some fresh hired goons instead of an answer that satisfies me as a maybe non-returning customer.
 

what I am saying is that we all knew that KNC wished well, but could not predict future in such short turnaround time.

yes, they should of hired a few folks more that knew logistics, packing and shipping.   yes, they should of started building the hosting center earlier

but it is sad that a nice company like KNC will turn into rude assholes like BFL and Avalon just by crazy demands like yours over and over.

be realistic to the actual situation, and not your utopian miner company that does not exist anywhere on earth... ok?

Man you are getting on my nerves. I tried to explain it to you before but you just don't want to get it.
Those are in no way "crazy demands". They are economically correct in every way.
I do not want a refund on my orders, neither do I want btc or money from them now. So basically I do not want to touch any money they have made until now or will mine themselves in the future.
But you just don't seem to get it. So here it is in numbers for you:
What I lost since my order was not shipped in September and is not until today: let's say 10,5 btc
What I paid them: 7k dollar    
What it cost them: (with R&D and production cost) for the Sept/Oct orders  I would estimate 2,5k$ max.
With November included: 1,8k$ max.
These are rough estimates and they depend strongly on the amount sold, I took the conservative approach with around 1000 Jupiter orders for Sept/Oct. IRL their cost would be more around 800-1000$ at most.
So when I say I want a voucher for every unit delivered late and we estimate the price of next gen to be around the same as november unit prices: 5k
they would still make 2,5k-1,8k = 700 Dollars profit of those units.
Please stop posting if you have no idea what you are talking about.

Edit: I am also not critizising their production in any way. They have enough people there imo. The problem was that everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. BUT that is no excuse for poor customer service.

They basically said that they will start shipping on the last day of September. Every asic company says they ship on the last day of their stated month. Hashfast, Cointerra, Bitfury. They all ship on the last day of their stated month, which basically is the first few days of the next month. Hashfast says November 30th; Cointerra -- end of december. Bitfury's megabigpower -- oct 30th. Ask those companies. You are a bad customer. You won't get what you ask because I am a nicer person and you are not. I will get rewarded with a nice person award, and you get nothing. face facts.

I can confirm it takes a while to reach full speed

fwiw it should be an custom version of "The Ångström Distribution", but since is custom it's not telling us a lot

before you mention dropbear (a lightweight SSH2 server and client implementation) I don't even know it exists
thanks for that. I will look into it as soon as I get time.

Bah!
Just shut up and read the last posts before you spout such bullshit. Also, those are not the facts, are they? They did not ship in September, they stated in front of witnesses that you would have your september order in hand in September and I am in Germany, that is a 1 day delivery.

But hey, why argue with facts when you can just spout bs all over the place?

Ralf / trepex

Maybe '/etc/dropbear' is the wrong location.
Have a look at /etc/init.d/dropbear, there you can find the ssh config in the form of arguments. (at least it's the default location)

What about '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' ?
btw: chmod 600 for user root or for the user running cgminer ?

If they have not removed key-login from the source, it should work if configured correctly:

"Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key authentication"

why you want to use cheap PSU with device, which cost thousands of dollars and any failure of PSU cost more, then PSU itself?

ok tell me good psu

Seasonic or Corsair, gold or platinum

For mercury, saturn, or jupiter?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139044

Trust my recommended psu rather than that other guys.

mine gets a 9.6 on techowerup review and his gets a 9.1

Ordered 6/9 - Paid 6/10

This is infuriating. As a 2nd day hosting customer, I'm feeling screwed over.

  My orders are:
29x Paid June 03 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ shipping per instructions (hosting wasn't available))
86x Paid June 04 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting)
86x Paid June 04 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting)
490x Paid July 31 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting, full-priced Nov. batch)
490x Paid July 31 - hosting for 4 jupiters
731x (was 29x) (order shifted due to shipping refund)

All orders showing 'paid' status.

I emailed them four days ago asking for a status update. crickets.

Just got my Jupiter 90 minutes ago. (15 minutes after I sent KnC a letter requesting compensation or refund. I didn't know it was shipped, didn't get email from UPS.)

I'm really exited that it's hashing, but on the other hand I'm still not happy, that I got it just today. I was #30 on the pre-order queue.

Anyway, still playing with the miner, so far it's hashing at an avarage of 485 Gh/s. Should go higher, we'll see.
One of the case fans didn't work at delivery, I had to adjust the fan connector, but it's ok now.

Order #7x
Day 2 shipping
Got UPS tracking number.
Delivery date (given by UPS) : tomorrow.

"Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key authentication"

The directory /etc/dropbear did exist already, so I did assume that's the correct one.
(This works on OpenWRT devices.)

I did not spot any special config directory in the startup script.

I meant "chmod 600 /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys" running as root. I created that file manually (using vi).

Update: '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' works. I did not check if this will be permanent.
