Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com

[Micky25]

has someone details about this?

They are growing pretty fast   Maybe their retired hardware gets profitable again, due to the current BTC rise.

But the most important thing to know about Bitfury is, they do NOT sell to home miners at all. They are strictly for large-scale, industrial mining operations.

Not too long ago, you could buy their miners at GHASH.IO, respectively exchange hashing power (GHS) against miners, but the prices were totally amiss.

Sorry for OT.

what's the deal with KNC Solar ASIC?

[RoadStress]

what's the deal with KNC Solar ASIC?

Self-mining deal!

[Searing]

Well I have proof the KNC machines are EVIL ...combined 2 titans never mine more then 650mh ...we have 90+F heat and 106F Heat index
my Titans combined sat a 666mh ALL DAY LONG about 14hrs or more ..you guessed it ...........I took that as a bad bad sign.....being KNC Titan's being evil and all...

Basement temp was 89F

91c was on a few dies in bsmt otherwise was like 82-85c more or less at the dies 55c was high on 1 cube

go figure...wild day......was like the equiv of 'hot yoga' for asic machines Figured if I shut them down they'd just never come back up....knc product

it will cool down to 72F and they will promptly 'croak' ...being 'evil' and all don't ya know....

Recently I bought used Neptune, but PCIE-E power connectors on 4 Cubes were fired. Seller is not responding...
What is the exact Molex Product number for this connector? I only know that it should be Mini-Fit Plus HCS series rated 13A, dual row, right angled, but there are many types...
Somebody knows? Thanks.

My understanding is that is truly the catastrophic point of failure for the Neptune. If you are going get out your soldering iron, you might want to consider doing something different, and more robust, than just replacing the PCIe power connector. The PCIe connector is not rated for the power draw of the Neptune.

It's a real problem as I understand it, though I don't own one.

i nominate searing to donate a cube.

hes poisoned enough of our eyeballs with dumb shit for long enough and its too hot where he is to get the most out of his cubes

plus hes already in the black, in the black already, sigh, repeat, repeat, repeat, sigh, repeat.

i think he owes it to jelin & jelins 'friend'


and/or alh can if jelin or jelins 'friend' can fix fried shit.


on another note - im about to dump[ old ants/jupiters & thought what would the price need to be to make them profitable? has anyone calculated it?

i 'would' but i stabbed myself in the eyes due to the ongoing offensive postings of some of the residents here...

make sure to get pics/video and have you bitcoin address available ...post it on this forum...you will do well imho


(To Sam Cole lurking in this forum..honest Sam I'm joking...Ha Ha....Really ....the whole post easily complies with KNC ethics in all ways...trust me)

I think that a reasonable compromise, would be to promise to only punch him in the dick with 5% of your available power

Yes, this is very normal: Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Mining > Empty blocks

Bringing this back to OnTopic 

What changes can we expect of those charts if KnC soon brings their 16mn chip to mass production and Antfarm/Hashnest presents an S7 in a month or two? Would we see major changes?

[Searing]

 Got the following in the Email on the class action against KNC

  http://kncclassaction.com/?wysija-page=1&controller=email&action=view&email_id=17&wysijap=subscriptions&user_id=219

 They have extended the deadline to file..clarified some stuff.....still imho looks like a coin toss on if you can get your $$$ back or not *my view only*


 I'm still confused thou...seems from the above the total fees paid will be the 15% fee ONLY ie 1,519.00 usd (if I remember correctly that was the amount)
this does not include appeals by knc or if knc wins.

 Also the clarify  ..you'd be liable for a further (supposedly)
 say 2,000 usd on a complete loss (again according to their scenario in the above link) you'd be looking at with the fee (1,519) something like 3.5k to say
(speculating here) say 4K if KNC takes the day in court...correct me if that seems ....NOT  to be a 'ballpark' on complete damages if KNC wins it all.

 To further complicate the above each individual case stands it seems on its own merits...ie imho I see Neptune owners having a much better case (heck knc used
 their pre-order equipment to build their data hall first as an example) then say Titan owners which does not have anything so frigging obvious again imho

anyway look it over decide what you think ..I myself am UNLIKELY to pursue this ...it still seems too vague ..esp the 'if knc appeals' extra $$$ in the kitty from
what I can read (you know knc is gonna appeal right?)..anyway with my 2nd titan at the right price I'm out and in the black ..but to be truthful if I had a Neptune
I probably would be looking seriously at this ..in again imho I think folk who got a Neptune have a strong case ..even on the individual case by case basis.

anyway link above is there for all to look over and ponder

feel free to correct me if my opinions above are 'incorrect' for those with better judgment on this kinda thing...just going by what I think from reading it over.
..I have no expertise on any of this ..again the above is all just my view
 
hope it helps someone and if you decide to act on this the best of luck

Possibly no changes - e.g. it may already be happening and instead of just throwing all-new hardware at the network, they're just replacing the old hardware; hash rate for them stays the same, but profits (due to greater efficiency of the hardware) go up.  That's one school of thought anyway

16nm chip from KNC and Bitmain soon? Do you mean 2016?

[marto74]

around the 12.5 BTC  block reward switch

[Searing]

around the 12.5 BTC  block reward switch

It imho is a no brainer that WHEN/IF KNC gets its 16nm farm going we are all gonna hear about it pronto! The fact no such hype by their endless self promotion seems
to me to say ..they are not on the pipeline of even being set up yet *just saying imho*....if they we're deploying and putting stuff up I'm sure they'd be touting such
with pics etc just to keep their IPO money folk happy on showing (finally) progress ..but again this is just imho.

but yeah they miss our deadlines on stuff it is only fair the shoe is on the other foot and they miss deadlines when they are the only ones getting the chips out the door
in mass don't ya know ..only fair

whatever evil empire that they are they likely will announce and turn the switch on by the weekend or some such .....they do have the evil empire thing down pat I
must admit.....the sith lords of asic mnfg's

whatever it probably will be soon .....as all asic makers like to say
