This is why it is essential that miners start promoting bitcoin for general exchange in any way you possibly can. TX fees are the future of mining profitability, and for that future to come to fruition, BTC has to be as useable as the dollar. It has massive advantages OVER the dollar if it can gain mainstream acceptance.
I saw a post recently where one block had over 200 BTC in TX fees. That should be EVERY block, and it would be if BTC were a mainstream currency. Then you wouldn't be worrying about short term ROI, as every block would be significantly more powerful than simply it's block reward.
Volume of purchase is the game that needs to be opened up. Right now, even though it has garnered a significant amount of notice, BTC remains a niche money rather than a generally useful currency. If you want your miners to make you money, then you gotta expand your horizons. We need to see all sorts of thing priced in BTC, with the various national fiats as the ALTERNATIVE price, rather than the other way 'round.

Interesting stuff. Any good reading on this that you know of please? I'd like a better understanding

I don't know if it is a legit UPS e-mail address. But if, it could be displaced.

i apologize in advance, if this is repeated topic - but, just the sheer speed of posting here makes it impossible for me to go through the last 200 pages I havent read. so please, use just small stones.

this is a part of my support request to KnC. Is there anyone else in the same/similar situation? or possibly with a solution

it's regarding my 4VRM jupiter.

There are three things I've figured out and those might or might not be linked to each other.
1) I rarely see the cgminer to run longer than 4 or 5 blocks. It restarts and is off for a few seconds. The down time lasts 10+ seconds, which means a loss of hashrate during the down time as well as during the "ramp up period" after restart.

2) One of VRMs on module 6 is offline according to bertmod. Or, to be more exact, the mod says, it's online and ok, but the current is just 0.125A. This loss of power is not compensated on other VRMs - those give out the same current as VRMs on the rest of borads. If I connect just this board to the controller, it produces just about 80GH ... although the bertmod says only 2 cores are disabled on the whole board.

3) High HW error rates. I am experiencing about 10-13% HW error rates. But the interesting thing is - the more boards I have connected to the controller, the higher HW error rate is. When I run just one board I usually get about 2-3%. This seems like an issue with the FPGA, but I have no way to tell for sure.

as I know zip I'll ask the obvious question did you do a hard reset?.....that is the extent or my knowledge and/or maybe power supply issue?

(ok that's it I know zip others jump on here)

yeah, tried, no change at all :-/ but thanks for the hint.

[The Avenger]

How come crumb's ignore button is sooooo dark yellow while avenger's is just fine!

Well, it should have got a little "yellower" yesterday...  

I tried to hit the avengers ignore button yesterday, but it wasn't there. The guy is such a dick.

Might I suggest a little more tact? You do go after people like a terrier with "big dog" syndrome.

I'll tell you what's happening - I'm mainly taking shit from people and not even a word of thanks.

There's actually approx a 1,000 units left.

We are currently 3-5 days behind in the factory
+
Yesterday the factory produced and shipped 350 boxes and we expect the same number to be shipped per day over the next coming days.

NONE of that shit adds up.

So KNC are producing 350/day and there were ~1000 left to produce on 9th October.

That means everyone's order has already been shipped, right?! Because they work over the weekend (because Bitcoinorama says they do and told me I was wrong when I said they didn't. And he also said I don't have any contacts in Sweden, even though he doesn't know who I am or what country I live in!). So they should have finished production on Sunday. Right?? Right??

So how can they be "3-5 days behind in the factory"??

Someone was multiple lying/fud spreading. Or someone else is lying about how many units they can produce per day.

Please get off my back. I'm not the one feeding everyone false information. Look at the BS these guys spouts and everyone is willing to swallow it whole. I'm helping people stand back and look at the misinformation they are being presented. Look at those numbers, do they add up? If not, who has been lying to you? Not me.

Peace out

They had fans for about 1400 Jupiters (4 fans per miner).

That translates to minimum 1400 boxes, but it could be much more as Saturns require less fans.

Also, there could be more boxes of fans arriving daily, etc...

edit: remembered wrong, much more:

Impressive. Are those only fans? ANyone want to venture a guess how many fans per box, how many boxes and how many fans per miner, and calculate how many miners this could be used for? 

No, they are Arctic CPU coolers. Probably 18 per big box (based on the second photo)...

So: 18 coolers per box * 21 boxes per load * 21 loads that I can see in the pic = at least 7938 coolers 

Looks like 27 boxes per load, 24 loads.

18*27*24= 13122 fans -> max 13122/4= 3280 jupiters and 1 saturn. (3280.5 )

Potentially 1640TH/s. (@500GH/s per Jupiter)

 Is there any thread on class action against KnC? I think the things went so wrong that damages and losses will be significant. I think  it's high time to hire some Swedish law firm to send KnC a letter. Are there any Swedish people here ?

All
As you are aware we have missed our own set deadline to ship the entire backlog of orders by October 15th
After yesterday’s factory output we can now say we are currently 3-5 days behind in the factory and the hosting setup at current speed which we are trying to increase in all ways possible.
We appreciate that while this is not good news for anyone who has not received a box we are only a few days away from completing our promise.
We will continue to post a news update on our site every day stating how many boxes have been shipped and how far behind the end of the queue we are.
Yesterday the factory produced and shipped 350 boxes and we expect the same number to be shipped per day over the next coming days.
Thanks

KnC does business under Incoterms 2010 EXW. As such they are not responsible for delivery at all. Any service going further than placing the units in front of the premises are not their responsibility.

Damn my intake fans are loud. any ideas how to quiten them down?

you have been reading to many BFL threads.

[Searing]

Status shipped since approx. 20 hours and no further action.  

ditto but I also showed some activity on the pool I submitted to them to test the miner on....yourself? did you check your pool?

on the other hand no email no tracking number (although it is  6:17am here in usa Midwest) so UPS may not have kicked that out yet

anyway it seems to have mined .005 on my account and status says 'shipped'

but I also have nothing else yet

[timmmers]

That UPS trojan is common. I've had quite a few arrive and also FedX ...into various mailboxes including some I rarely use. They are just fishing. Hoping they'll find some poor soul waiting for a package who'll open it without thinking. I'd leave it and maybe call KnC , they'll know if it shipped easily enough.

well on hosting I assume you will be compensated..that too is my viewpoint..w/o such you may have a case..

on the shipping of units if they are correct say 1 week late..and they gave you 150gh more hash then you paid for...don't think your gonna get too far on that under that scenario

no hate just my opinion

Also had a little activity on my named pool account. But that was it, no tracking information. E-mailed today, but no response yet.

I don't think so. I guess they didn't go out yesterday. Maybe we get tracking infomation today.

Edit: yesterday CEST

Edit: yesterdy CEST

perhaps but mine said shipped so it is like 1pm in Sweden or some such so if nothing else I assume ship'd means its waiting for the truck if not on one (could be wrong thou) or why change the status from processing to shipped from last what it was at last Friday till yesterday
