I found this after work :


Dammit, I hate UPS !!!
I never received a call and never called them.
It's too late now to call, I hope that it isn't an other person that is trying to get my miners !

  Hello Guys,
Have you any one try Terracoin in Coinotron?

[soy]

Yeah, router issues had me stumped for a bit here too. As it turns out, Manually bridging connections thru the
OS on the host computer's ethernet device was necessary to get the ethernet to web-connect on my home-network... The hardware way sucked in comparison. (kept disconnecting)
(not saying that's their problem tho)

So, worthwhile getting a beaglebone with which to practice?  Is the linux networking less like debian and more like something else, say Suse?  We know Raspberry Pi is Debian Wheezy.  What's this linux?

Hello,

I spoke with KnC on the phone again (!) about the hosting.
All DAY1 customers with hosting should have their miner up and running in the hosting center by today (Tuesday).
They will receive an e-mail with the access informations.

I assume this will be just the web-interface. So I already sent them an e-mail yesterday requesting 2 external
pools to be configured (which can only be done via ssh access inside of cgminer).
I don't believe this will be done without a further call, but let's hope for the best.

I spoke with them this morning as well - same story. Unfortunately I was told the same thing Monday morning. I'm still hoping that today is the day though.

UPDATE: A copy of those questions has been sent directly to the KnC team via e-mail.

I really do not understand what the problem is and would like to hear the truth:

- Is the hosting area with racks etc. ready?
- Is the aircondition ready (or maybe not needed)?
- Do you have the power supplies (and paper clips = ready?
- Do you have (enough) power in the facility?
- Do you have (redundant) interet uplink there?
- Do you ave the miners at the hosting facility?
- Do you have some people there that can wire up the PSU to the miners, put ethernet cables etc.?

If all are answered yes, why can't you bring up the miners? Use the configs provided by the customers
provided at the KnC order formular.

- Do you have your "Hosting Web Interface" ready?
- Do you have some kind of NAT/mapping for the customers access to their web interface on the miner ready?

I still hope that you only have problems with the last 2 points.

Please update us on your real problems?

Hello Guys,

No, after the terraminer mishap... I wiped the prefix "terra" from my mind

Just a heads up for fellow hosted day 1 customers.  I spoke to customer service this morning, don't expect hosting to start today.

They are 'close' and expect to be done by tomorrow (of course this is what they have told me every day that I've called since last Wednesday).  The guy on the phone verified that the 1btc/day delay will continue to accrue during the down time.  Of course, he doesn't know what date they are counting as the official 'should have started' date.  

It's hard to nit pick, as I appreciate their willingness to attempt to make the hosting delay's right by their customers but 1btc/day is not reflective of the actual amount these units would have earned.  The first 3-4 days would have been in the previous difficulty level @ 1.6 btc per day.  The next ~10 days would have been ~27% less or around 1.17 btc/day.

He wouldn't verify what exactly the problem was, other than they didn't expect it to be as time consuming as it ended up actually being and more man power is being used than they had anticipated.  They aren't necessarily having a problem/fault other than setup is taking longer than expected. I got the impression it was a router/security config issue.

nod, thought the same thing after I talked to them...

My hosting place has taken 4 people 2 weeks to setup... and Im not even close to their size. They needed to have started earlier

I suspect that the delay in hosting is pride.  It is such a simple matter to get an internet connection and point to a pool.  Setting up your own pool (especially with as much hashing power as we're talking about here) might be a big hurdle in and of itself.  Temporarily pointing everyone to another pool should be an option.  Pride can be a bitch.

Has anyone gotten a refund on hosting with KnC and switched over to another provider successfully?

has to be costing them hundreds of thousands per day....

is it 43mm and 43mm or not see well?

I know about the complexity. I did run an internet service provider 20 years ago and we later did offer hosting as well.

Today, I would not setup my own hosting facility anymore. Just buy this service (space, AC, power, internet) from a big hosting provider.
You might even buy the 19" racks. Get a "cage" or some dedicated rooms for security reasons.
No problems to scale up and you can scale down. KnC should focus on their special skills and not try to do everything
on their own.

But maybe they just rented hosting space...

I expect some more facts form KnC!

Anyone know what the cut-off date was for October deliveries?

I thought it was mid August but I see a mixture I think. (And was KNC accepting reservations before the payment date?)
I'm in a group buy here with order #4999 on a Jupiter and we all pretty much think an October delivery.

Thoughts appreciated,
IAS

hmmmmm...... Maybe they are 'quietly' pointing the idle miners somewhere else (or solo mining) and earning coins to cover the 1BTC per day deal.  Truth is stranger than fiction.
