I need to change topic for a minute. And I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, so my appologies.
I just uploaded KNC firmware 1.06 into my Neptune, and it ran fine until I rebooted. Now the Status just reports that cgminer is 'STOPPED'. No simple fix is restoring this issue. My Neptune has run flawless for 9 months and for some reason I upgraded the firmware last night....BIG MISTAKE!
Can someone please direct me to the right page or provide a solution for this KNC firmware problem?

others can jump on here ..but off the top of my head with my titan this was what was up...i realize you have a neptune..but hey i'm awake too 1) power down reboot (which i assume you did also besides just reboot) 2) The SD card is bad....I assume...so when I had this issue i ALWAYS DID a fresh from scratch on a NEW SD card the titan came with a kingsington 4gb class 4 so i got Sandisk 8gb class 10 and re-did the image that is how i upgrade now was the same symptoms a new image on a new sandisk 8gb class 10 instead fixed it again this was with a titan but i probably would not hurt to make a new SD on a class 10 SD card .....try that i guess..worse is you have a spare for if/when the SD card goes bad if it is another fix besides this others on here will have more ideas I'm sure but it is 5:45am where i'm at in case you want to try something and tearing your hair out (the sweet taste of panic i remember it well) I still do my upgrades from then on with a fresh new SD card not that i expect anymore from KNC anyway was the symptoms on my Titan ...just saying..hope it applies as a guick fix for your neptune good luck others will have further better info I'm sure as the am goes on

Build and run some coin daemons as per the instructions for your coins of choice and then set up nomp following the instructions at https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal. Point your titan at nomp and solo mine.

Ok so I found and SD card and found the firmware online and flashed the controller/RasberryPi with neptune rc6 firmware. Plugged the cubes back in and..........still Stopped. So in desperation, I started unplugging the cubes 1 by 1. When I had removed the 2nd cube plug, I noticed that the displayed started showing hashing with the last 3 cubes connected. Turns out that the number 2 cube was causing all the others to not start hashing, and once it was removed and the first two reconnected, the hashing ramped back up to normal. I replaced the failed cube with one of the my Bonus cubes and it is back up to full speed again. So once again, I tried to upgrade the firmware, and this time it worked with no problems. Its up to 1.02 now. I now now I have 1 faulted cube and will probably have more, once I trouble shoot the rest of the Bonus cubes. Thanks for the good advice mate.

If this OT please move/delete Are these thieving bastards kidding?? link... https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/kncminer-launches-xbt-provider-bitcoin-tracker-one/After our story about KnCMiner facing class action lawsuits, several readers wrote in to thank us and share their stories as well. We expected to receive some comment back from KnCMiner regarding the claims being made against them by more than two dozen clients representing several dozen thousands of dollars. We never did. However, today we’ve received word that KnC has launched a Bitcoin exchange. From where? Straight from the horse’s mouth, in a press release that only mentions KnC in the heading and in the footing, nowhere in the body. Also read: Buy Orders in the Millions for Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) XBT Provider AB (publ) announced today the authorization of Bitcoin Tracker One, the first bitcoin-based security available on a regulated exchange. XBT Provider is launching this financial instrument to meet the needs of investors’ growing appetite for exposure to Bitcoin prices. Nevermind BTCS and GBTC XBT Provider appears to be a new venture by the people who brought you the KnCMiner scandal. It claims that it will be traded on NASDAQ Stockholm beginning May 18th. The announcement managed to make no mention of KnCMiner. There are existing stock symbols on regulated exchanges already, so we must presume that XBT Provider is referring to the Sweden’s markets. Additionally, several hedge funds have picked up Bitcoin as an asset for long-term growth. XBT Provider CEO Alexander Marsh said: We are proud to offer the world’s first “Bitcoin tracker” to be traded on a regulated exchange. By enabling this easy and secure way to invest in Bitcoin we hope to have eliminated the boundaries that earlier prevented individuals and companies from being able to actively invest in what we believe to be the future of money. BTCS and GBTC, watch out. KnC seems to have started a whole new company to launch this venture, seemingly in hopes that the legal liabilities of KnCMiner will fade out of view. But certainly as the class action lawsuit makes headway, the stock price will be affected. Time will tell what is next for this symbol. Former customers of KnCMiner will no doubt be surprised by this news, however. At time of writing, shares of Bitcoin Tracker One, the symbol being offered by XBT Provider, were selling for 9.45 SEK, or $1.13 USD.

got my refund for the mini Titan, no email just coins. Wouldn't have known they sent it but someobdy replied to a Disqus comment I made saying they got their refund so I checked my wallet and it's there. If you're waiting on a mini Titan refund, check your wallet hopefully the coins will be there.

Good for you! Nice to see some folk at least got a full refund for what they paid originally BTC or USD in that KNC JUST FLAT OUT LIED AND CAN canceled THE PRODUCT RUN COMPLETELY! sheesh ......reasonable refund to the customer and we here on knc forum find it shocking THAT they managed to figure that much out and act on it! (and before this point they still tried to game their responsibilities) the mind boggles at the antics that KNC continues to try and pull. A Jupiter controller can be flashed and used to control Neptune cubes, right?
Anyone? from what i understand it can be done look thru the thread i'm pretty sure it has been confirmed more then a few times myself i have a knc no refund no roi titan so it is NO GO for me the Titan uses a raspberry pi instead good luck

Did you receive full compensation or something less, ie: if you paid in BTC, did you receive BTC equivalent to the USD price of the mini-titan at the time of purchase ?

from what others have said (see the thread) the neptunes I heard .....seem to like to run a bit hot....so cooling may not be as a problem as a person would think my Titan (if this applies) is in the basement at 77F or 25c and the cubes are at 75-77c at this point in time someone told me they are running theres at 85c w/o issue.....so you may have a bit of slack before cooling is an issue...at least with titan (or in a basement) right now I have NO external fans to the outside of the basement....gonna see how long she can go before i see a drop in how it works if it is anything like the Jupiter I should be able to just get buy with some basement casement windows open on the hottest days with some fans blowing out anyway 77F (25c) and 75c on the dc/dc ave temps in my view ain't bad....if like I was told folk are running these beasts ok with the dc/dc ave temp at 85c hopefully I can squeak by till July w/o a lot of fan action in basement ..hopefully this applies to your neptune with its cube arrangement as well

only luck I've had on a dead cube is just have it as the only cube on the unit and keep power off rebooting and do and re-do power and ribbon connectors (more voodoo then science) and eventually mine have been found by the controller.....others on here may have a way to do this beside panic and hope but only way i've gotten my dead cube back on two occasions...and the only reason it died in the first place was me trying to fix a dead die etc...so i think the titan cube is telling me to back the frick off..so i have 2 dead dies set to OFF 1 on each cube on the 2nd unit i got...the other unit runs fine 6 cubes with the lcd removed again i have a knc titan but maybe this stuff will also work on a neptune you can also shut a bad die to off it may make your other dies more stable and as long as you are there you may as well shoot for whatever the max setting is on a neptune..if it is not there already....tsee how that goes as long as you are mucking about you also need at least TWO PSU's for me i have platinum corsair 1200i's running 3 cubes each and a seasonic 860w also platium running the other titan controller with my 2 problem cubes (1 dead die each) again titan ..you could also just swap the cube on a 2nd psu see if it likes it better .....but at least you can re-check the power leads from the psu switching things about an resetting and of course the Y connectors you probably know all the basics above... and if none of the above works you can always reflash the card to 1.06... again see if that helps ....also sometimes (once for me) a backup file takes care of the dead cube if you have made one (i guess it was 3x i had the dead cube issue again only when i mucked with dies to get them up....hmmmmmm i see a trend here on my end) but again others on here have better info then my hit and miss but it is the middle of the nite and what the heck it keeps a guy occupied and as always i have a knc no refund no roi titan 300mh 1st batch so keep that in mind with a neptune of things to try again others on here with more expertise chime in but again it is the middle of the nite so the above in panic mode has worked for me (so far) sorry i can't be more precise on the Neptune but using the somewhat dubious methods above it managed to crawl its way back .....so never had any reason to go further ..at least with the titans..ugly thou the above steps are ...shudder..... (in my case the lesson is don't mess with my titans and give up on the dead dies coming back...the dang knc junk tries to brick itself on a whim imho....)
