So first happy thanksgiving to all! It doesnt matter if you live in America or not. Secondly Im going to ask a series of questions of what it is you want to see. For now, Im still not clear on the direction of the graphics. Its enormous work to code for 2 separate guis and would like to see only 1. Ive made the colors brighter. Do you like them? If so tell us. If you dont , tell us, and tell us why. Be VERY specific and detailed? If you dont like the colors, what colors would be better? Please try to refrain from suggesting stock colors, unless you truly love them. What about the colors of the litecoin logo. Anyway I have made the background MUCH lighter. Please comment:

Ok so Gentarkin and I need your feedback on the importance of upgrading BFGminer.

Should BFGminer we upgraded as much as possible to the newest version as soon as possible?

Should bfg miner be upgraded once in a while, maybe every 4-6 months?

Are you happy with the way things are , and BFG miner works well, so who cares?

See, Gentarkin and I DONT want to make all the decisions for you, because your opinion/vote carries enormous weight. Please take a moment and respond. Your vote counts. It only takes a second.

Also does ANYONE use KNCminion? We dont know if to keep it in the code or not. If you truly use Kncminion and you love it , please speak up.

hello guys and happy thanksgiving to all!!!yes vegas i really like your GUI!!!About bfgminer update: Is this possible to keep the choice between the last two versions?(my titan work so well with bfgminer 5.3 and i have never tested the new version but i want keep the possibility to try it .About kncminion,i didn't use it except for the fun,so if you don't keep it in the next release it will not miss me.Let 's see what the other titans miners thinking about this?

Colour change is pointless IMO, readability is what matters most and stock is perfect. No need to rice it out.

Updating bfgminer also seems like a waste of resources. Should only be updated if there's a specific fix for Titans in a release, such as decreasing slush time or whatever. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

KNCMinion I haven't really used in the past, don't think I'll use it much in the future either. I vote remove if it makes your lives easier with releases.

My viewpoint exactly on bfgminer updates but ... for the sake of "keeping it updated so people think they are running the 'latest and greatest'" ... Ive always at least coded in the stock 5.1.0 (works best w/ titans) and whatever latest build there is for bfgminer. =) ... so far, Ima leaning towards keeping it like that. Juggling more versions then that around ... is chaotic and nothing I intend to do.
KNCminion is a free thing(I dont have to change stuff w/ it when I make other webgui changes) , doesnt require any additional work for me to keep it in the webgui. So, Im probably not gonna worry about taking it out.

 he has like minor and major releases...maybe set it for only major releases which i think are every 2-4 months (others on here is that right?)

I have seen it I know people who use the charts to really tweak the dies on each etc....I'd keep it (toggle option if that is what it is) just to add flavor to the project

Steve the video is not forgotten about, but there is much information that is still missing, and the reason is because KNCminer has not released ANYTHING regarding the details about this board. I thought it would be straightforward to gather all the info I need like schematics and any detailed information about these boards. The harsh truth is NO information exists anywhere about them, so everything is being done manually, that is what is taking so long.

You were supposed to create a video based on the knowledge you already had from your experience dealing with Titans. The same information you use for your Titan repair service. Bleeding information out of the KNC stone was never part of the equation. It's obvious that you chose not to share the information, or never really had any to offer to begin with.. I certainly haven't seen anyone post reviews of your repair service after having sent you their Titan cubes in. A lot of us, including myself, bought into the firmware because the video was also a part of the deal. We wanted to fix our dead dies. We don't even need a video, just your supposed information on fixing these broken cubes. You could easily post information on your website for us paid users, but you haven't. Instead, you chose to waste time changing UI colours. That makes me believe there will never be a video or information posted on fixing these things. You've said the video was "almost done!" multiple times in the past. Now you're insinuating that it's no where near complete because KNC won't cooperate with you.

Sorry if I sound abrasive, but I paid for something I never received in regards to your video. If it weren't for Tarkin's awesome work on his firmware, I'd feel ripped off. As it is now, the video is written off in my head and I'm glad to have supported Tarkin with my $50. Hopefully you'll make me look like an ass and prove me wrong.

Cool, I agree that the last official release from KNC (5.1.0) should always be a part of your firmware. Really no need for anything else. Having the option to use a newer version is just icing on the cake. Keep up the good work!

if any lawler is interested in kncminer,
not granting warrenty. Please contcat me though pm.
they just waited to reply (about a week ) after one year and said warrenty exprired!
i asked for rma before one year was over.
this is not lawfull and they know it.................


ps. where does one order a ribbin cable if  one is lost...

[GenTarkin]

looks good so far, any chance we can get a overclock option?

Yep, it already exists ... 325mhz
Anything more requires reverse engineering spimux-titan file in the pi image. Its not open source, it holds the keys to making the controller board running better and unlocking more frequencies etc.... till then, anything beyond 325mhz is not possible.

you'll have to make your own, but it's pretty easy and you can use common slip jaw pliers instead of a crimper

just be careful to double/triple check the orientation of the plugs (or order extras)

you would not happen to know IF the old mercury/saturn/jupiter ribbon cables are the same? (yeah shorter but still) I have like 4 of these puppies
from the old KNC 550gh Jupiter I could use as a spare on my Titans. Just wondering if anyone knows off hand.

(my setup below. The KNC 550gh Jupiter is now being used as a 'gravity assist device' to keep the miner workbench down)
