Anyone have an ETA on .96 firmware? my Jupiter is not stable right now on any FW.

You get there by simply typing the miners ip address into the browser's address window, and use admin/admin for logon/pass

You cant do that with hosted miners. We dont get the IPs, and can only access via the simple control panel interface. No cgminer access is available via hosting.

I have received a reply today from knc support.

Yes its close to 1am right now...  BUT today was the day they claimed for months to have all orders shipped out by.  And not even a single word from them.  Not even an public apologize or an timeline update.  Witch is pretty shitty.

I can't believe the network hash rate....I new it was going to explode...but more than double?

oyeah...x2

I order a lot of gear online and those tracking updates are a great feeling.

I made a thread to help people predict this.  Said 6 to 8 PH/s by end of the year.   Honestly I think now it will be closer to 8 to 10 PH/s.  By mid 2014 we probably are looking at 15 PH/s+  if ASIC companies serious cut prices (say <$2 per GH/s delivery in 30 days or less) we could see more than 20 PH/s.   I don't think 30-40 PH/s by end of 2014 is that conservative.   Worst case scenario we way overshoot and end up 50-80 PH/s and new sales flatline for a while.

Order 160X Jupiter was shipped, paid on July 01.

As usual, your predictions are spot on.  All of my spreadsheets agree...

I hear it will be around 30PH by the end of February by some large players in the mining game. Personally I think it will only be around 15PH by then but then again we'll see.

So my status has been updated from 'In Progress' to 'Shipped' (June 26th 27xx order).

I had set up my mining pool as eligius and put in my bitcoin address on the KNC site.  
I checked my eligius stats and nothing comes up.  So I'm wondering if it was even tested.
Was I supposed to put my bitcoin address under "Pool Worker"??

I have also not received any tracking information to my email.  How soon after you guys' status change to
shipped did you receive your tracking information??

So you assume a remarkably slower monthly growth in the coming year?

Lets say end of 2013 = 10 Ph and June 2014 = 16 PH

That would lead to a monthly growth of 8% in the first half.

[demonmaestro]

This was from today (15th)

Well this is a sad day for sure.   I had high hopes that knc would deliver on time. However they have not.
I am not truly happy with this response as to all they said is they are shipping. BUT no true response to the question that was asked. Today is the 15th. They have less than 2 hours till its the 16th there.

Now questioning there true shipping date.

Yes unless prices go significantly lower.   Trying running the math in a Bitcoin mining calculator (discount a Jupiter by 50% cost) starting at 10 PH/s.  It doesn't look pretty.  People have a pretty good ability to delude themselves that future actions won't happen but when the day 0 profitability sucks (i.e. if I buy this today and difficulty doesn't rise at all I won't break even in a year) it is pretty easy to not buy and wait it out.

The other thing to consider is that as we get close to 20 PH/s the market for less efficient gear ( Avalon, ASICMiner, BFL) is going to go down the toilet.   At 20 PH/s and $0.10 per kWh an Avalon rig for example will spend 100% of gross revenue in electricity.  So buy $1000 for a rig and then spend $100 in electricity to get $100 in Bitcoins.   Doesn't sound very attractive does it.

However as I indicated if delivery times shrink (say 30 day preorder) and prices SIGNIFCANTLY (not this 10% off but <$2 GH/s decline) we could see 20 PH/s+ by mid of the year.


Yeah I understand it is a pretty wide range.  I am not claiming to predict the future just pointing out in the near term anyone looking to deploy should consider a min of 10 PH/s by end of year and another 5 to 10 PH/s in the first half of next year.  If your "math" for making fortune uses more optimistic numbers you likely are going to get buried.

Yes its close to 1am right now...  BUT today was the day they claimed for months to have all orders shipped out by.  And not even a single word from them.  Not even an public apologize or an timeline update.  Witch is pretty shitty.

"All current paid orders will be shipped no later than October 15th." - https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-33

I'm surprised it's still there. Disappointed in them since I have jack f'ing squat and no idea when I'll ever get my shit.
