From what I know of them, unless they have a component shortage they will be using this time to build the November batch. I expect they want to minimise the issues they had in the first run.

has anyone here from the first batch ordered any additional units from the nov batch?

if so, how many units/model was your first batch order, and how many new november units/model did you add, and when did you add those orders?

But if I check the update page it shows the correct FW. So what the heck?

please understand I could be wrong, I'm not working or programing for KNC so it's partly guesswork on my part.

The version is probably just a variable stored in the Web code.

Think about it if the link you get after upgrading the firmware isn't run, the way these rigs are setup is to reset alt of stuff on reboot. So the firmware update code that needs to be run against the system doesn't get run because you are using a different reboot method that doesn't run the commands before rebooting.

However the bits of the update that don't require a reboot are copied over such as cgminer etc si they work fine.

Your symptoms of worse performance when rebooting using the link are similar to mine. Always worse performance. So I kept going back to 0.96.

But now im using the old firmware but the new cgminer and I am not getting the performance loss.

So there must be a lot more being changed when you change the firmware than just updating the cgminer instance, and alot of those changes will be related to what happens when you click on the reboot link after you update the firmware.

Why cgminer 3.7.1 does not run for me
.??

Dud binary, my bad, reuploading...

EDIT: Re-uploaded as v3.7.2

i'll figure it out today. i'll try both and report back if i get any changes

Anyone know whats going on with the gen 2s? Have they started production yet? Or are they still finishing up shipping gen 1s?

[mruiter]

KNC is the number 1 contrib to the Elgius pool.
I don't know if i should feel good or bad about it.

Would be nice if they could shut down for a few days , dificulty jump comming. Hashrate of the network already going down for it on bitcoin watch.
Looks like it's going to be 515k

They committed to not ship anything before March 2014 the earliest unless competition would flood the market. Right now competition is looking quite bad so there is no reason for them not to commit to that. Gen 2 would take probably longer than that to release anyway... but there's always lower profit gen 1.

(Also the later they release gen 2, the easier and the greater incentive for current KNC customers to jump in again but that's just my thinking).

news on overclocking?

I want more GHS!

[opentoe]

If KNC actually had product in hand, ready to be shipped out I would almost give that a though for another Saturn or even a Jupiter, but they really need to lower their prices. Who's going to buy a 400Gh/s machine for $5000?

And then there's all those people throwing thousands at BFL tea cup warmers instead of miners.

Anyone tried to call KNC today?
I've been trying for the past 3 hours with over 15 attempts and nobody is answering.

Good units are hitting about 550 gh/s.  Some people receive lemons that end up hashing around 300-500 gh/s.  Right now, there is hardly any competition on the 28NM process node - given that hashfash and cointerra have gone rogue.

Gen 1.5 first, for November....

If all the KNC's shut down for a couple days on eligius, after a diffchange, eligius would have the longest blocks in history, and you would surely loose more than if the KNC's were there...
It's harder to find blocks after a change, thats why its actually called a "difficulty increase"....its harder, without that extra hashpower, it will take eternity.
If you like blocks that take forever....try slush...
the payments are bigger, but blocks are harder to find.
That's just how pool size & difficulty works...


Another note
BAD RESULTS with 0.98.1 production...
Big "Dwindledown" this time...

going back to beta....

Anyone try the new Cklovas code?..

[jelin1984]

i used cgminer 3.7.1 at my chilli board
at hashing drop a lot
