Well that sucks.  The web interface I have has the option to apply/restart on the pool config and another restart miner on security page.  But I just ssh in and do it.  My pool info was all screwed up in the conf and it was starting 2 sessions when I hit apply/restart.  But the security tab restart worked - once.

2 sessions makes sense with what I'm seeing.  Unfortunately I have no way to resolve it and again, THEY WON'T RESPOND TO MY EMAIL'S.

sorry...

2 sessions = 2 instances of cgminer??

Yeah they have a script to launch cgminer in a screen session, you will see 2 sometimes when you ssh in.  IDK why, the script tries to kill any running instances and restart a fresh one, but it doesn't always work when cgminer isn't functioning correctly, which is when you really need it to work.

so it is then possible for dhenson to be hashing 400GH/s while the other 100+GH/s are mining on the other instance wasting away???

I'm not sure how ASICs would handle it, someone here should know.  But GPU's just split the work, it wasn't a huge deal, caused some issues, but what he is seeing is a very large percentage of work not recognized by the pool as coming from the pool.  Hard to troubleshoot anything without OS access - get the thing somewhere else would be my suggestion.

EDIT: I tested running 2 instances of cgminer, it gave me around 140Ghash each, so a very large drop from the 530Ghash for one instance.

10 more pages of nothing.

how many units went out over the weekend?

how many rigs are now 'in progress' and for how many days already?

are you still 'confident' that all orders will be 'shipped' by midnight???

or is it midnight of the 15th?


chips with 1's & 3's & chips totally disabled

also 8 vs 4 vrm???

why miners who are actually mining report better performance with additional cooling are called liars/dishonest/foolish/stupid by the only mouthpiece KnC wishes to engage who has no miner and little to no personal experience with the performance of the rigs?

extra BBB/PCB's to turn Jups with shitty performance Into Sats with 'expected' performance albeit with TWO PSU's???

You aren't very nice to someone who goes out of his way to help you without any compensation. Why don't you bitcoin to him if you want answers.

DHenson... You can find out if there is another instance of cgminer running by using putty ... a second instance of putty if you are already using putty, to ssh into the command line, and do a      screen -r    

[plasmoske]

Looks like the knc datacenter just went down. Eligius just lost about 80-100TH/s

Checked all the other guys and mine. Yeah it's down

NO SSH FOR HOSTed customers.

if you dont want to answer the questions posed, why dont you mind your own business?

if you want to donate to him, do it.

dont ask/tell me that i should pay more for i already feel that 'he' aided and abbetted in a misrepresentation of facts to secure mass pre-orders  based upon DELIVERY BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

Hence the bitbet 'will KNC miner deliver verifiable rigs by Oct 1st' being ended on NO - with around 65-70BTC being lost on the WRONG result

if he has or has not been rewarded for such that is his concern, not mine or yours or anyone elses...

i have already paid more than enough to not only have my jupiter here and hashing for MY WALLET, but also to have exemplary customer service and support.

neither of which have i received, and only a very few forum members have received less than half of (dodgy rigs & no support apart from what other community members have provided without the need for bleating requests for financial renumeration).

no ssh for hosted... doggone....my bad...   I doubt the 2 instances is your problem then, because in order for you to start the instance, you need to ssh in in the first place...
I had to do that just to mine, untill i figured out the protocall problem.
I had entered "Workername.Worker1,...    2,     3... "   into the field, because I had ordered 3 machines... the automated copy& paste of that field as my workername is what caused the problem to start with. It made cgminer go dead, or idle.
Attempting to do a screen -r reveals no results after a short timeout, so you need not waste time to catch it. When attempting to save the correct settings into the config file, I was unaware that they had changed the location of the cgminer.conf file to /config/cgminer.conf from the root default address, so when attempting to save the correct info in the .conf file, it actually saved it in the root address, instead of the address knc decided to use. The result was when I restarted cgminer, it was as if I had never made the changes, and caused a few glitches in the gui interface to top things off. Once I identified the correct location of the .conf file(/config/cgminer.conf), I used that to save settings inside cgminer, and restarted cgminer. That instantly solved my root problem of the wrong workername, finally had cgminer running on a cold startup also because i could now use the gui to turn off dhcp and use a static address. I could now see that there is a button to turn on/off the cgminer remote management as well. Since i couldnt get to the miner page, I didnt have that option before, lolz. All this was due to one little computer glitch. The workername they programmed into it.

[plasmoske]

Now I want to know how a whole datacenter went down for knc hosted customers LOL.

Or is there some maint I'm not aware of.

Looking at mine. It's 0GH/s. Looking at bargraphics. He went from 4.5TH/s to 500GH/s. Which is pretty strange. He still has one miner up and running out of 10.

Mmm seems like he's slowly going down to 0GH/s now.

Maybe all the boards caught fire due to "bad" PSUs and the Halon system engaged.  Just kidding but it is bizzare that the entire network went dark at the same time.  A route configuration issue maybe?  Janitor tripped over ethernet cable?

HA! Yeah that's a good guess.

Their portal website is still up and running. I can change pools and etc but nothing happens.

It goes from pending to running when i change it but nothing connects on the pool page.

Eligius lost about almost 130TH/s in the last 15mins. Wow. I'm guessing all of that is KNC's.

They should just get out of the data center business and stick to what they are good at.  Making miners and ignoring customers.

[plasmoske]

Well I'm just looking at miner stats for KNC miners on Eligius. Not sure about the other pools.

Or maybe Eligius is getting Ddos'd or have some server issues?

Anyone can confirm anything on other pools?

[plasmoske]

Mmm it could be just Eligius is having problems. They've lost almost 95% of their hashing power.

[Searing]

I hope KNCminer is going to make something like the BFL Monarch. I would be the first to order it.

It won't be worth it by March/April.  Whatever $/GH might sound good on paper now will be worthless because everyone else will jump in on it too.  It's a mug's game.  Mining was only really worth it prior to the price explosion earlier this year before everyone and their dog wanted a piece.  The FPGA era was the last time this would be profitable for the average person...if u didn't sell.  The real winners are CPU/GPU...again, if they didn't sell.

I have a plan for March/April on my (maybe by then hopelessly ouctclassed knc units and of course beyond dead bfl units) ie


ASICCOIN
( no idea really but some guy made a coin with this in mind)

no seriously...on a side note do you really think people when  their asic miner knc version is no longer profitable they are going to put it in a closet...no they will mine something for the heck of it imho

what do you think..enough old asic machines to lever some other alt coin up out of obscurity and if so which one?

(of course my logic is obviously flawed.....but then again if btc goes up and alt coins are a relationship with btc and perceived use ..er maybe something will crop up worh mining then beyond btc?)

again I accept all responsibility for my cluelessness ....just throwing it out there

ByteCoin! hehehe. it's SHA based. it's exactly the same as bitcoin. except it's a byte.
