after resetting 2 of the sats... im down... cgminer just wont start it quits, and tells me credentials invalid....shows me them.. yes...they have http:// in front of the stratum address even after i manually add it... 0.97 is on it & working.....? both machines same tried to start from command line credentials also....nada I cant seem to get the credentials in correct
Edit - looks like the issue was solved by switching back to Eliguis

Anyone know what to do when a miner is in "PENDING" status for a KNCMiner Pool Hosting account? Would it help to "reconfigure" it, I'm thinking it may restart the functionality. Will tip some BTC for a working solution.

somethings up. I'm fighting with all my machines, someone hates me.
i switched my nonworking machines to eligius, now they work again... . What was the pool that makes your miners freak out? slush...and it was fine before,....huh Hey Phoenix, I was working fine on Slush but I wanted to try Eligius so I switched. I ran with Eligius for about half a day and noticed I was getting better results with Slush so I switched back. Thats when all hell broke loose. Currently my Saturn will not mine with Slush anymore. I've cleared cache, reinstalled firmwares and nothing. But Eligius works fine, any ideas?

I just had the exact same experience, so...no...im still trying to get this sat up...there is a cold vrm...?...what to do?

Two laptops have become non-functional. An RPi has stopped working, not accepting connections, another RPi running cgminer also isn't connecting, another laptop does ping yahoo just fine so it's not the internet - also this is getting posted.... Not Win 8 to 8.1 recently? That monstered mine, even erased my fucking AV software and network settings. My ave on slush dropped from 140 to 127 over the last 10 rounds.

A DDOS will always do that.

EUREKA! I just discovered something. They don't like to be OVERCOOLED either!
funny i was having the same thought after seeing them cooled and no real change, as well as others mentioning that they ran their unit hot on .90, that it might allow chip to seat better in solder or something like that.... what stats u got phoenix1969? its too early to tell because it will take time for my averages to come up, but it looks to be the final tweak, like it may end up 275, 280+, 280+ im optimistic, but definitely see an increase, and within 2 mins... all I did was shut my boxfan off I was all proud of my 32C temps, lol...they like 55 So I removed the high cfm computer fans that I had added for cooling, as well as shut down the a/c, temps on chips went for 40 and 45c to 46c and 49.5 c and it is hashing slightly faster and well as slightly better WU and error rate has improved from 20% to 15%....can't believe cooling it was NOT HELPING.....weird.

ps, even at the server it is showing improved hash rate....thanks phoenix1969.
I also, what I noticed the with the increased heat the output current has increased...which is what I suspect as a culprit for some miners, or rather a low output is indicative of a problem.
But now with the temp rise, what has happened, the chip with disabled cores is down to just 1 disabled...

I've been tracking a similar line of evidence for the last couple of days through my experiments with BFGMiner and various firmware levels. My theory is that on my underperforming board (and probably many others' out there) the issue is cracked solder ball joints due to the shipment of the machines with the heatsinks attached (soy, among others, have surmised the same so I'm not taking full credit on this idea). All the jostling enroute flexed the boards causing the solder defects. The higher temperatures allow some thermal expansion of the solder which might temporarily "glue" back together the microfractures allowing better connectivity. The fact that the solder is also a bit softer at those temperatures may aid in that. I'm not an industrial electronics engineer so maybe I'm talking out of my ass here, but that's the best explanation I can come up with so far. That also means that it *might* be possible to repair the boards with the (in)famous cook-the-pcb-in-the-oven trick.

If that's true it's down to KNC badly packing them again, not supporting the heatsinks in transit.

I know it's been discussed a few time about Putty, but I don't know ANYTHING about it, or the basics of SSH. I tried to enter the Saturn with Putty, but it's telling me ""Network error: Connection refused" Anyone can offer some help? Or is there a specific post regarding SHH for KnCMiners? Also, my Saturn came with the rear two slots populated instead of the front two (right behind the fan), anyone else that? I thought they would be right behind the fans in the front for better cooling.

I think most of us have been shipped 4-socket boards with the remaining 2 having empty surface mount points.

Also though the ssh might not ship with the same username/password combo as the web interface's admin/admin combo, as I could not log into mine using ssh even after enabling ssh...

-MarkM-
The username for the webgui is "admin" and the username for ssh is "root"...both have a default password of "admin" (it's in the online manual posted in the support section of knc site btw)
