Cool, that sounds easy...
is it made to run with 0.90, or can I try it with 0.96?

I ran the enablecores thru the upgrade screen without disconnecting anything.

The basic concept of WU is that you can hash all you want, but if you don't find anything shareworthy then it is meaningless. Imagine a gerbil in a wheel. lol

Ah, those of us with FAH experience have fond memories of WUs.

[Phoenix1969]

yeah, no unplugging was necessary
it helped the slowest saturn...by about 22 gh/s and 1000 WU's, but not the others

Imagine a world where end of september means end of september and where your second order is expected to ship in the first week of october means it will be delivered in the first week of october instead of still being in progress....
Brave new world that would be.

Imagine a world where 250 Giga-Hash means you receive 250 Giga-Hash and where 1.6 Watts per Gigahash means 2 watts per Giga-Hash at the wall instead of 500 Giga-Hash and 1.1 Watts/Giga-Hash at the wall....

What a Brave New World we live in!

I wonder about modules which lost fans in transit.  I wonder if they somehow saw a greater shock and as a result will have a higher disabled core rate.  If so that might indicate shock damage at the Ball Grid Array where the rubber meets the road, the ASIC meets the PCB.

My Mercury, with upgraded firmware to 0.96 and having ran enablecores.bin, ran all night on Slush's, never reached 100GH/s, only registered 75-77GH/s on Slush.  Can't see the cores without BertMod but the last time I did on 0.95 the cores were 0/75.0%, 1/95.8%, 2/89.6%, 3/91.7%.  Plenty of cooling (34.5°C).  Cgminer:  KnC 0:| 99.02G/99.10Gh/s | A:883542 R:5697 HW:370264 WU:1505.5/m which means HW is 41.9%.

Something of a disappointment after reading most Jupiters were getting well over 500GH/s.  And to think, the Merc's cost the customer more per GH/s than Saturns or Jupiters.

If the 1 sticker isn't wrong then perhaps a shock in transit damaged the BGA as the fan was off the one module.

Just tried firmware 0.90 with enablecores.bin

KnC 0: | 168.0G/109.9Gh/s | A:5014 R:257 HW:774 WU:1985.0/m

Previously the best WU: I could get were just above 1500.

It's only been up a few minutes but that's the first I've seen the average over 100!

a minute later...   KnC 0:   | 168.3G/121.1Gh/s | A:8254 R:500 HW:1048 WU:2060.0/m

KnC 0:| 161.3G/129.0Gh/s | A:23158 R:1067 HW:2166 WU:2099.0/m

root@Mercury-3DF:~# uptime
 17:46:50 up 13 min,  load average: 1.99, 1.84, 1.12

Smiley face isn't big enough for this hashrate, 129.0GH/s
------------------
root@Mercury-3DF:~# uptime
17:59:24 up 25 min,  load average: 1.99, 1.98, 1.61
KnC 0: | 143.9G/131.6Gh/s | A:49321 R:2525 HW:4234 WU:2130.3/m
-------------------

So, the load on the BBB?  I've heard mention those figures should be <1.0.

 KnC 0: | 154.0G/133.7Gh/s | A:78562 R:4469 HW:6893 WU:2150.3/m  Slush: 82625.522

Good news, Slush now has the Merc up to 128268.002MH/s!  and climbing.....

 KnC 0:| 141.4G/133.7Gh/s | A:157213 R:9815 HW:14340 WU:2160.9/m

Also, I just noticed that my power consumption at the wall, which had been up to 160 watts @99GH/s, is now up to 271watts @133.9GH/s.

But then I'm using a cheap switching supply the efficiency of which isn't great.  When I would read 140 watts at the wall I'd see 94 watts on BertMod.  Then again I have a 120VAC fan plugged into the power strip and 2 additional 12v fans on the supply all of which is (all of which are?) being read at the wall by kill-a-watt.

Sorry for the noob question, Everyone in the crypto world assumes everyone can program 

I am getting my first KNC unit soon, I am not used to IP mining, Is it really as "plug and play" as I assume?

As far as I can tell, I look up the IP of the unit via my router,  put this in my browser, and click on mining and put in my pool details directly, and i'm done?

If I can see the stats via the IP address and the pool, Why are people configuring it to show on CGminer.

If you filled in your pool info on KNCsite it will be already filled on miner, so if you plug and start it, it will start mining. On web interface (you run it just like router options) you can change your pool info and on .96 you can see some stats + can add backup pool. People configure SSH to look at CGminer for more stats.

[Bitcoinorama]

Hey Bitcoinrama or KnC will we be able to upgrade the cgminer in the future?

In Berlin, will ask when next in Stkhlm.

[joeventura]

I wonder how my miner is enjoying Ohio, now that it has spent 2 days there.

Maybe it is seeing the sights and visiting a few museums

when you add a pool is it failover only?  or shared?

BertMod 0.1 for 0.93 works well with firmware 0.90 and shows the Merc using 183 watts @ MHS av=134461.07 although  Slush now has the Merc at 143489.394MH/s.

did you call DHL?

It's failover, if you want one of the other options you can change it through cgminer.

sounds sweet soy..
the enablecore tweak is on 2 of 3 miners now, on 0.90 & the tweak
 the 3rd gets severe errors with 0.90, but it was the fastest one at 275 on 9.6, so there it stays.
the other two seem to be happily hashing at 275... so all 3 now at 275 is cool!

you have to power cycle the machine after applying the .bin file tho.

[DPoS]

Both running .96
One has a dead & a weak die

[jelin1984]

The bad miner
Does not wake up with firmware 0.96??

not, only woke up a few times days ago..  might attempt more surgery but might end up blowing the other 3 dies on that board

That is fucking ridiculous.

[Phoenix1969]

solid 825 Gh/s now, sweeeeeeetnessss

[jelin1984]

What you mean 825 one Jupiter of yours run at 825gh?

How do you enable the display of the extra information?  My status page does not show hardware error count, etc.

My miner is more travelled than me, it is on a 7 day Europe - North America tour.

Edit: I hope it doesn't come to me all covered in rainbows after 4 days in Montreal.
