I just noticed a huge burst of speed from the saturn...?  once went to 560 WTF?!!

how can i make it stay there?...hahah
cgminer says regular 272 going on.... dunno what eligus is basing their stats on...

Isn't that them burning in your new units?  It would be impossible for a single Saturn to push much more than 300GH/s

im not hosted, all I have is a single saturn. It tends to run like someone in a car revving the engine... swings from about 240, all the way to about 307 regularly, goes down to 100gh/s area during flushwork, and sometimes bursts all the way up to 560Gh/s...all the while...cgminer average stays around 272.

I'll keep my eye on it to try to screencapture one of the higher bursts...

im having a bit of trouble, if anyone could help me out.
cgminer doesnt seem to want to start when i try to connect to my eligius account. but starts up fine with other pools.
it has worked fine for a week now, but all of a sudden after i tried slushs pool for an hour, cgminer just hangs when i try to connect back to eligius. tried 50btc and thats working too. back at slush again for now.

any ideas, could it be some pool config file that got messed up somehow?
ive tried hard reset, and reinstalling firmware. nothing helps.
im not experienced with linux, but know enough to ssh in with putty and execute screen -r.
all i get when trying to connect to eligius is the cgminer startup screen with " starting cgminer 3.4.0"
and then nothing.

any help would be appreciated.

O.K. Let's put this is a better perspective.

On the last day of September we all saw the video of them producing cards and boasting about the hashing power they had with that Jupiter.
We all heard them say that day one orders were being shipped "today" (which was that day in september), and day 2 would begin tomorrow.

We ALL breathed a sigh of relief. They seemed to have 2 weeks to produce the rigs, and none if us would have been pissed off if they took a day or two longer as long as they said that, and gave a reason. (they also said they had the capacity to do the production, 30 stations).

Even on that day, people saw what seemed to be evidence of a company that was trustworthy and capable of producing what they said. Given the choice, who would have cancelled their order? Not many because it seemed that things were going as planned give or take a day or so. No reason to worry.

Yet now they have gone into stealth mode, fucked up just about every aspect ssince and failed to deliver...idiots are on here saying people who didn't get rigs and aren't likely to for a while should have done better D and D ? Fact is, ORSOC did their part , they over delivered, they are engineers.
KnC are a marketing company, the everyday stuff was down to them. I can't think of a single thing they have done right. they made all the efforts of ORSOC worthless, and all our research too.

IF I knew I'd get my rig this week, I'd be a little miffed, but that's life and shit happens. As things stand I have zero information on when it may arrive, it may arrive at the same time as the 2nd batch which were a lot cheaper...which is ridiculous to expect me to be happy about isn't it?

Still they say nothing, treat us with contempt. Is that the way to improve customer satisfaction? Is that professional?

Unlike a lot of people here I don't get pleasure out of being flogged, I'm not masochistic at all. All I ask is for the same level of communication and respect they we all got from them BEFORE they had our money. I get that from every other company I deal with. If something is late, they apologise and explain why. It's good business. It's professional.
The reason that KnC haven't done this isn't because they are engineers, they aren't they are marketing men. Piss poor ones. !

I got mine. KNC is awesome.

Yea me too I only have to restart my jupiter every hour or so on .94 to keep it running above 400ghs... .95 is worse. .92 .93 don't run on my machine and .90 .91 crash and are unstable... got a bad chip too marked with "3" I'm sure they had something like bart mod to see that the "3" marked modules had an entire die out on each.

KNC awesome? I understand the sentiment that we got ours but many who do are not having fun either.  

Where is KNC by the way they aren't saying squat anywhere, way to go supporting people with your $7200+ prototypes when they have problems... YEA I don't need another form letter saying your not working weekends to fix everything as fast as possible and you realize a lot of people are losing money, SLEEP! over these keeping them up and worry about losing a lot of cash. O yea .96! sure... I'll have my fire extinguisher at the ready.

try taking "HTTP://" out of the stratum address, and enter it like this:
stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334
nothing else... (except your wallet address for username)

using windows?  copy and paste your eligius id into a text file, copy and paste your payout address into another text file. run

fc file1 file2

file compare should tell you if you screwed up your id.

thought the eligius stratum pool is mining.eligius.st:3334

3334, yes, sry, thx

thanx guys, tried mining.eligius.st:3334 and it worked.
went back and tried stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 and now that worked too.

dont know what the hell that was, and why it got fixed. lets just hope it sticks

update...1 saturn, 4 days, 3btc

You are doing quite well, my Jupiter has been hashing since the morning of the 9th and I'm at 4.8

Was only able to get ~120-150 the first few days and since .95 I've been seeing ~420GH/s.  I'm really hoping we see a new firmware soon that fixes whatever is causing my now over 900,000 error'd shares.

Set your min diff to 256 or 512 on the pool.  The miner sends a lot bad shares when it changes diff.

[timmmers]

Fucking amazing. Not a peep from our professional engineers? I used to hide when I'd done something bad when I was 5, grew out of it when I realised that you have to take responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Some it seems never do.

I think this post is a bit too much on speed, humans assemble these things after all, but apart from that ..make it 20 minutes a rig to allow them a little back slapping time..it's a valid question? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3341426#msg3341426

Something is stopping them assembling a decent number of rigs a day, and it's only firmware according to them..which wouldn't matter as it can be sorted once delivered. Something also is stopping them saying a fucking word even on this special date when they failed to deliver never mind over deliver.

Either the stats for their production facility/boatyard (never seen boats in such a facility before that KnC video) were bullshit, or something is wrong elsewhere. 3 per hour and 30 assembly trolleys..that's 90 an hour for Jupiters, less for the others. Almost a thousand a day, working office hours.

STILL no answer to the simple questions Avenger listed, just personal attacks. He didn't give his order number. Nor have I. I'm not pissed off as a drive by tourist however. In fact I'm feeling very lucky not to have sunk as much trust and money into these tossers as I could have and others did. Especially the hosted multi orders who got far from the KnC website promise I quoted earlier.

Simple question here. Easy for any company.
When are you going to fucking explain/apologise/talk at all , and tell us where we stand in return for the thousands we spent with your inept company?

BTW. 6 ports, gen 2. It's not like the case is a work of engineering genius to re-work and cram a couple more module in there after all is it? That's my guess based on how easy they have found it to date. Gen 1 was never meant to be 250 or 300, it was meant to be capable of being overclocked to past 500 and 6 make a gen 2. And you all clap and cum in your pants at the genius like my cat does when I open a can of tuna...thinks it's magic.

[timmmers]

Haha, in the past hour I'm "in progress". I'll check it hourly now and report when it changes. Mercury for those who were wondering about such things and number 4114. My guess is it will be that way a few days. Like others already have been.

[Phoenix1969]

HW103364...but runs fine. I think thats normal at this point
yours does seem a bit high, how long uptime?
the saturn seems to run the same at 64 diff as it does on 256..
though the pool is changing it automatically...

Overall, it still seems odd that KNC has been dead quiet, but they are relying on an unpaid guest to be their mouthpiece.  How does Bitcoinorama find the time and money to just uproot himself and hang out in Sweden completely pro bono living off 1 set of clothes?  He is after all, a professional engineer and their time usually doesn't come cheap.

[eiliant]

Thanks, trying it now.

Actually not under 4, minus the 5 BTC compensation I've mined under 2 till now with a hosted Jupiter...

Mined from Wednesday to Sunday on KNC Pool, and switched to Eligius. Mining at KNC Pool netted me <0.3 BTC total. Fuck?

Actually, he has education in engineering design. I don't know what he did for a living in UK, cuz I never asked. He's not an engineer.

He has already stated in public (and privately to me) that this has gone on longer than he anticipated or planned for, and that he intends to ask KnC for compensation. He also really wants to work for them, for personal reasons.

He also told me that he really likes Stockholm, so maybe he's planning to stay there even if KnC doesn't work out for him (pure speculation on my part). He seems to be pretty good with his money, so he's probably living on savings like a smart man.

Judging by the tone of his posts, he's probably frustrated as hell with the whole situation, just like those of you still waiting. I can be pretty neutral cuz I got no skin in the game. I am somewhat emotionally invested, as this was the company I wanted to succeed. Their silence troubles me as well, and I think they are abusing the privilege with Alex. But we are not there, and we don't know what he has arranged with them or been offered. Give the man a break, he's obviously trying.

It actually seems to be working.  Since switching, I've mined over 100k accepted shares with only 256 stale and no 'dupes' or 'other' errors.  The best part is that for the first time ever I saw it break 500GH/s (currently at 495).  I'm cautiously optimistic.

I had tried setting the min diff @ 256 before .95 and didn't notice an improvement.

edit... just as I typed this I started receiving 'other' errors again.  Over 12k errors and counting.  Hash rate down too.

somebody called and woke me up in the middle of the night for this, so I'll keep it short.

2. an update incoming in < 1 week, pretty exciting.
3. we fully understand there is problems with orders ( no way?! )
- we can not address these issues IF WE DO NOT SOLVE OUR PRODUCTION ISSUE then we can not DELIVER at all.
4. this forum is a giant waste of time, get back to coding, go outside, hug your mother, do something,

oh.. sorry, wrong thread!!
