DHL is odd. It got to the states fast. Now its came to a craw..  

DHL has lousy tracking in the US (great overseas) since they are a minor player here.  Your miner is probably just around the corner from your house.

Need to make it self to Texas first. But yea i know. I want it now damn it. Actually I wanted it the day i got it online.

[arousedrhino]

Yes I already knew this.

not sure how i feel about .98

75w more at the wall, and depressing specs 800/550..... back to .95 i go


edit: on second thought my HW rate has dropped from 10 down to 2% and my hashrate is staying pretty stable at 550gh/s

If you already knew that why did you post a misleading stat? Either you don't know that the 800 is meaningless or you wanted to deceive people. The 800 means nothing whatsoever it could drop to 100 immediately after and your average would be 300.

[Ytterbium]

I'm glad you guys are having good luck with the new firmware, but the increased power consumption is kind of a pain, hardly worth the 2% extra hashrate I got out of it

My guess is that the cost in electricity for the new firmware is less then the money you'll make from it

I never trusted the grease that was on there to begin with, so I only powered up for about 20 minutes to make sure everything worked then changed the grease over to what I wanted. It could have been the same, but my Dad who has a Saturn also has great running speeds also and I changed his thermal grease as well. It can't hurt I guess. The stuff that I saw there just didn't look right. Very bright silver stuff that was almost wet. That's what made me change it to begin with.

Why would you tell people do do something like change the thermal paste if you have no evidence that it actually improves anything? There isn't even any evidence that the chips are having any problems due to heating or even getting very hot at all, and you're chips aren't running any faster then anyone who wasn't having problems, most of which have been fixed with the new firmware.

In fact, at this point it sounds like the chips need to be warmed to a minimal temp anyway, in order to get an optimal hashrate.

Not having much luck with Eligius today..

probably best just for troubled miners to run .98 then

Just a word of warning, if your unit is fine on .97 with cgminer 3.6.6, do not upgrade.

My Saturn lost 8gh/s, and 150WU on this upgrade, it disabled 7 cores that I previously did not have any issues with.

Going down to .97 did not fix it, I had to :

Downgrade to .97, reboot, run enablecores, reboot, factory reset, reboot, re-setup and update cgminer.

Back to 283gh/s after all this with WU 4060.

Did you even compare HW?

Yes, HW errors went up 1% on .98, was 3.48% on .97.

Edit: The pool also reported much less shares submitted for that period on .98.

[ralree]

0.97: 536GH/s avg over days of running, no power measurement, ~60C temps
0.98: 559GH/s avg after 30 minutes or so, no power measurement, ~65-69C temps

It's almost certainly sucking more from the wall, but I don't really care right now.

[RChevalier]

For the last 80 pages or so the only thing I actually want to see from KNC is that demonmaestro and CYPER get their miners.

[plasmoske]

My Jup went up about 30-50GH/s so I'm pretty happy with the latest firmware.

And I think it's fair to say that the KNC 0.98 firmware helped BTC Guild break the 1PH/s barrier haha.

Yesterday they were hovering around 920~TH/s.

[joae1975]

What kind of 24 Hour Earnings are you guys getting on BTCGuild?  Mining calculators say I should be getting ~1.3 btc/day with my 2 Jupiters, ~1Th.  BTCGuild is posting around 1.18.  What's the deal with that?  Using PPLNS.

[CYPER]

I hope this will be in less than 16 hours from now.

Yea i hope so too but when i talked to DHL yesterday(Monday) they told me that it wont be to me till Thursday. And by the looks of it it only moved from OH to NY Tuesday.   What kind of Bullcrap is that.

[plasmoske]

Variance. Just because a calculator says you should be getting say 2 bitcoins a day (in theory), doesn't mean you will be able to actually earn 2 bitcoins a day in reality. It all depends on luck of the pool, your hashing speed (stable, unstable, stale, dupes), size of the pool, number of miners in the pool, fees, payment type.... a whole lot of other factors.

well fwiw, I had my first 2 jupiters delivered by UPS.  First was 5 days late, and the second was 7 days late.  Both times they left the $7000+ machines standing tall way up at the end of my driveway and left without ringing the door bell.  The 3rd jupiter was by DHL and I got it in 3 days, and the delivery guy had it in his hand when i answered the doorbell.  I guess what I'm saying is it's not just DHL.  All courier companies are perfectly capable of royally F'ing up any delivery at any given time...

[demonmaestro]

O and to top it off i paid for one day shipping.. I guess that was a waist of $100

Side Note: I need the demensions of a miner card with heatsink and the BBB with the connection card.

Me too, and some compensation of some kind hopefully.

Recent bad luck... seems to be network wide the past 24 hours or so.

That would be nice but i am not holding my breath.
