The curious thing about Searings is that his passed customs without issues, while mine is stuck on clearance event like many others in here Today.

I called DHL and they said anything over $2500 needs clearance and it will take a few days, possibly incurring an import tax.

So that explains why all those mercuries went right through if you check the tracking thread, they are valued at $1995.

After looking up the tariffs with DHL on the phone, it's possible they will charge 2.5% + $25 for import + DHL fees.

Obviously I would rather have taken my chance with UPS, one guy got taxed on the knc forums and he paid $32 total.

That maybe however i still havent gotten my mercurie

But i am planning a custom made case and watercooling for it.

actually DHL does deliver here in the states. The company i work for ships via FedEx,UPS,DHL and other bigger fraight companys. DHL use to have a big presence at Bush Intercontantal Airport also. To my knowlage they are nolonger there but DHL is still around. Just not as big.

They don't fly ANY domestic flights.

Now that I have my Mercury... when can I buy additional modules?  This massive case looks ridiculous sitting there 3/4 empty, lol.

When I ordered this thing, I wasn't convinced 100% that KNC wasn't a scam so I didn't want to spend more than $2000.  But now I want MOAR!

[FiatKiller]

DHL does not even deliver in the U.S.

Now you are saying "Joe you are nuts!"

But I am not. DHL pawns their US deliveries off on USPS or UPS

http://seekingalpha.com/article/105325-dhl-shuts-down-u-s-delivery-operations-who-will-pick-up-the-slack

So they may have 90% of the rest of the world, they are a NON PLAYER in the U.S.

Guess who is a Player?!?! FED EX and U...P...S

DHL delivered mine today and they pickup at my job also.

Just found one of my ASIC's still had a sticker on, I would recommend everyone to check temps if any one or two as more than 5-6C warmer than the others i'd be assuming same thing now.

Before - 62C (others around 51-52C)
After - 52C

Hash Before - 530-540 @ Pool
Hash After - 550-560 @ Pool

yeah DHL delivered to me as well today a Jupiter..but then again...this is the central hub town 60000 people and it was a small Van ..you could almost say from that number they don't exist imho

here is a link how my box arrived...and I poured about 1/2 glass of water out of it (luckly clean rain water)

seems to work ok don't know about ssh so just letting it hash on sludge ...not sure about the 660 number for the last 10min thou was doing like 533 with no outside van s and the top off

anyway so it goes

I have two running at 57.5 and two at 50. I wonder if I have this problem.

ok, a procedure would be cool
itching to try it but afraid to screw things up...lol

edit...  Oh that looks like the open-source code, not a kano/cklovas driver...correct?

or is it...  driver-knc-spi-fpga.c    ?
I can download it and install it from the gui?

from the DC power reg sheet

    Wide Input voltage range (4.5Vdc-14.4Vdc)
 Output voltage programmable from 0.6Vdc to 2.0Vdc via external resistor. Digitally adjustable down to 0.45Vdc
 Wide operating temperature range [-40°C to 105°C]
 Ruggedized (-D) version able to withstand high levels of shock and vibration

lucky for us or a lot more would of went dead

DHL shipped on Thursday morning from Sweden
got to me in NY this Friday afternoon

a little more than 24 hours. Im VERY impressed. I didnt expect it for another week.
BUT - the fan on the heatsink is floating around. It seemed to have detached. Im hoping it isnt broken off.

Its a Mercury and Im confused why they gave the Mercury (or at least the early builds) the HUGE cases.
Im assuming its the same chassis as the Jupiters, and they just didnt bother making a smaller one. At least 3/4 of the case isn't needed. But its a non-issue I suppose.


Also a bit disappointed that they didnt give molex/PCIE adapters with the machine like I got from BFL. I didnt expect it, but it would've been nice. This is just a nit pick of mine.

[demonmaestro]

Could someone give me demensions on the board+heatsink all together? so i can start to make a case for when mine come in?

then you could put the psu in there for sure with all that space

Seriously don't touch any of that if you don't understand it. You'll likely break your miner.

And thats the source code which is not compiled anyway.

[xenonhost]

Anyone got a refund?
I asked for one, cause I was the last to pay for 1st batch and it was approved 2 days ago but they didn't refund yet. I have opened a paypal dispute, so I hope I'll get my money soon, so I don't have to pay more interest at credit card company. I'm dissapointed about KNC, I wanted to mine but the ROI will be negative for 3 months after I get the box.

shit ? what's the problem you are minting 251.7 GHs   Is not the best I've seen but not the worst either.

have u use bertmod aisc_status.pl to get the number of cores enabled on  yours asics?

if you have a lot of diabled core give 0.96 a try or use http://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/enablecores.bin (see support page for instaructions)

did you check this if this apply to you http://forum.kncminer.com/filedata/fetch?photoid=8379?
