So, in short. What is the consensus for Firmware for a 1st day Saturn (currently at around 260 gh/s w 0.96)

once they get a handle on everything they will release it but they quickly went the money savings route and treat us like we shouldn't ask questions

You will not ask questions and you will respect their authoritah!

If you don't mind... what's the rate at the pool?

[Tigggger]

Luke Jr will probably have something running before that happens but without the code released nothing is going to get created

From IRC: [20:14] <Luke-Jr> fwiw, I have KnC cgminer source

above 280, but there hasn't been enough time since upgrade and reboot to tell you in a meaningful way... i'd have to give it a day I think

Shazbat, some good news

[Bitcoinorama]

I've posted about the restart/flushwork thing since... 9th October? Asking for it to be addressed.

How about some answers to these questions:
1. How come the sub-standard cgminer from KNC?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg3294238#msg3294238
This post suggests the KNC version is not doing a proper work restart. Any reason KNC are spending 9 days releasing firmware updates that doesn't even fix these issues? I'm fairly sure the guys who wrote cgminer could sort this quick fast.

So I guess it could now read:

Any reason KNC are spending 17 days releasing firmware updates that doesn't even fix these issues?

Pride's a bitch, aint't it? They should swallow that damned pride,  hook up ckolvias, and let him sort it properly.

Luke Jr will probably have something running before that happens but without the code released nothing is going to get created

I pinged it to both Luke, and CKO a couple of days back.

36X Day 2 here just changed status to "Shipped" its a pickup so I guess they have to now ship it to their office where it can be picked up from as I imagine they don't want ppl having around the factory.

just a note my 304x unit just got the tracking number like 2hrs ago it is showing DHL tomorrow (Friday) i'd call if DHL and set things up at least they can give you the DAY it arrives from this number 1-800-225-5345 er again the tracking number shows Brussels calling the number and a live person told me it would arrive tomorrow ..(I was shocked) just so you are warned!

anyway the point of this is it took 2 1/2 days to go from Sweden to the Midwest usa...so jump on the DHL tracking when you get the number imho

Searing

My Mercury is, according to DHL, in Brussels since 1:44AM, processed in Brussels at 11:15AM.  Calling I found I can expect delivery tomorrow by end of the business day.

DHL instead of UPS, not sure if that's good or bad. Is your Mercury going to the USA? I can't imagine mine getting to me tomorrow from Brussels...

My tracking screen is exactly the same. Same dates and times.

This is what the guy said at DHL when I gave him my Brussels tracking number (1-800-225-5345) ...maybe it is scanned in Brussels goes on a plane and is not scanned again till it hits the truck to ship it to me ..no idea..but he said between 10am and 8pm tomorrow Friday 10/17/2013 (maybe Brussels is code for "teleport'

Searing

Just to be sure I check my post office twice today as mine is being shipped to a PO Box.  Just before closing I asked at the counter and found DHL doesn't have a contract with USPS anymore and won't deliver to PO Boxes.  Must find what office it will be going to.

Anyway, I thought DHL was posting time relative to me but no, it's in UTC so apparently the Mercury just left Brussels a little while ago.  It had been at Brussels 23 hours 55 minutes.

so it's not wrong supposing that also ckolivas has the knc cgminer driver code ?

Yes that was what I meant. I collared one of the software engineers the other side of last weekend and sent it to CKOlivas Mon. Luke was meant to have it Mon, but app he has a filter for attachments, and the new email addy I have has an overly sensitive spam filter which filtered his replies about resending it, until he contacted me here.

I promised to get it sent after I met him in Atlanta.

Wow, does DHL draw a vacuum.  They won't deliver to a US Post Office.  If I want to pick it up at a DHL office they only offer Atlanta, and I'm halfway between Atlanta and Columbus and a good deal west.  So, that's out.  I gave them my home address but my property is always gates closed and my home is 2½ acres distant from the drive gate.  If I leave the gate open, a neighbor's dog kills my chickens.  These are free ranging chickens and don't get cooped up all day unless I have to spend the night away.  I asked for a time to expect delivery and was told anytime between 8AM and 8PM.  I'd say call my cell but my cell doesn't get any reception here.  If the weather's nice I'll be out in the yard and won't hear the home phone.  Had a problem with DHL once before.  They tried to deliver a radio.  It had arrived at the Columbus office.  Found a note saying they had been here 3 times and were returning it.  They lied.  Driver just didn't want to make the trip again.  No fence in those days.  No excuse, just lazy, lying DHL driver back then.

[DPoS]

'overclocking' was only done blindly.  Briefly by .90 FW 8VRM boards and then 4 VRM boards until .95

If you didn't cool them you would start getting lots of HW errors leading to cores turning off, but unless you REALLY cooled them you would still get a handful

.96 seems to clear up all the 'normal' core issues so if you have a new miner you should best just run that unless you are ready to cool EVERYTHING (heatsinks on VRMs, etc) and try your luck with .93/94


[by 'normal' I mean those dies that would throw < 10 cores from time to time.  If you have one that shuts half or so it probably will still not be perfect again and same if you have whole dies shutting off]

above 280, but there hasn't been enough time since upgrade and reboot to tell you in a meaningful way... i'd have to give it a day I think

Note that really only WU: in the top corner is what you can rely on
(though I've never seen the code so it may or may not be reliable)
The rest of the numbers you need to do calculations on them to verify if they are correct.
i.e. the most obvious 2^32*A/Elapsed is the paid hash rate.
Elapsed is in the API - or calculate it from Now - Started at the top

Also note that WU: and the above calculation require some time to be 'close' to accurate.

[sbfree]

wow, pretty easy setup...would have done it in less than 5 or 10 minutes, but I had to take down a litecoin rig to "borrow" its 1200w Coolmaster...I have a Corsair HX1050 but was scared to use it. Alittle overkill for a Saturn, but I also have 2 Blades running off this Coolmaster PSU.

Anyway, haven't slept in a while, will upgrade firmware later....see how that goes. Thanks KNC.
