ssh into your kncminer if you know its IP address is 192.168.1.X:

Code:

ssh -l root 192.168.1.X
screen -d -r
q
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
./cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

q is to quit the already running cgminer

Note also that this is perfectly safe and only saves the cgminer binary to the ramdisk which means that if you have any issues or reboot it will just go back to the usual cgminer built in. It is also compatible with any of the kncminer firmwares, though I find 0.96.1 to be the best for me.

Thanks ckolivas.  It works very well.  Only been running a few minutes and straight away the speed is higher and error rate lower.

Where is the connections step by step with putty?

Thanks for the effort, ckolivas. For me this wasn't an improvement - went from around 537GH/s to 498GH/s. Granted I only ran it for 20 minutes, but with 0.97 I get back up to 537 with the stock software in less than 2 minutes.

Looking forward to future revisions!

What are your hardware errors?  from my understanding knc versions don't subtract hardware error from your current has its showing you.    But his code dose.  So depending on what your hardware errors are you could be doing better?  Or am i misunderstand this?


Though on a side note my hardware error rate is slowly creeping back up to 6.8 already.  Going to try and downgrade to 9.6.1 my self and see if its any better.

That's because it's an honest number now, and not the added smoke & mirrors of including errors in averages...
and the error rate is lower, lol

Perhaps - my pool numbers aren't that bad, though. Maybe if we post our WU numbers instead of just pure hashrate/errors?

[-ck]

I've just created a kncminer branch on my github and have imported their most current code and built my first binary for this. It is not a full firmware and the only thing users may note is the hashrate won't lie with this one, as it won't count hardware errors as hashrate. Also my hardware error count is significantly lower with this on the Saturn dev machine I was sent.

Here's a direct link to the binary:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

Note that WU also includes the fakedmisrepresented hashrate in the regular binary included in knc firmware.

where i can found instruction how i use the putty?

Use putty connection to 192.168.1x instead of using ssh for the first step

Note that I've also updated the binary slightly though it may not be noticeably different. However I know people love to try every little change, so feel free to repeat the instructions

Then would you say that pool stats like what BTC Guild provides you with would be more accurate then their CGMiner?

Yes, if it's a large enough time period.

Also bear in mind that if the hashrate looks higher artificially on the kncminer version, then the hardware error % rate will also look artificially lower.

My Saturn's cgminer has been mysteriously dying every day or two, the web interface just shows it as dead I have no idea why, so I just restart it.

I have grabbed this new ckolivas binary to try hoping it will not similarly decide to die from time to time.

Days. So it seems to me that only 1/3 of my Jupis are up the advertised speed of 550

530-550
480-500
230-300 (Runs really hot at 300 so hot that the case is almost uncomfortable to touch.)

I had that happen to a Jupi after it being up for about a week.
