limit of 200 upgrade units. so is this 28TH total? is my math right if each unot is 140 Gh/s ?
28 Th/s would be a drop in a bucket...

Agreed.  The Nov preorders will be two orders of magnitude more.  It is likely the "left overs".  They ordered so many hosts, cases, etc, used their inventory of parts to build the Sept/Oct/Nov orders and they came up with 200 extra boards.  Sell off the lot.  Why not? The value of ASICs goes down over time.  Why wait for the next batch just sell them off for less?

It was always the case of what volume of RMAs would occur once shipping commenced being an unknown. Also if there was to be any yield issue beyond firmware, so there was in essence a float of modules kept.

Now that's complete, the surpless can be sold as the promised upgrades, and priced fairly.

Any idea when they start shipping batch#2??

As planned, nothing's changed in the timeline as far as I'm personally aware, around mid-Nov, which is almost here, the facility will start production again, with everything set for a Nov delivery. I'm not stupid enough to make any promises myself as I cannot be arsed with dealing with the flack again, and I never made any last time!

I truly hope you are keeping 4 modules in stock for mine as I'm sending them some time in the near future.

And I determined with certainty that in fact the problem is in the software and not hardware, yet my only option is RMA.

Cyper there are four modules for you as I said, but you're dicking around not sending them!

I just fixed one by attaching it to my fully working Jupiter. Imagine my surprise.
KNC should hire me as an engineer, because I managed to fix it, while they are still chasing ghosts.

Now you should better understand my reluctance to send them:

hey orama, they say 950 per unit, do you know if it will be a floating btc value tomorrow or a set amount? I'm just trying to accumulate what i need right now...

  They use Bitpay - It will be based on w/e the btc/usd exchange rate is at the time of purchase.

yeah thats what i figured....thanks!

Cool, don't send that one.

I can't close the lid, because of the cable 
It is a very unsafe environment.

My point was: it can be fixed by firmware, because it is now obvious that each board likes different firmware.
If only they could do something different than asking to RMA.

[Henchman24]

Did someone say "Upgrade"? 

yes!! phoenix can you sell me BTC?! i don't have nearly enough for 3 modules....

Are you going to turn your SpaceEater into a SpaceHeater?

Hehe! No Flack here. In fact i tipped you some.

In contrast to end of september we have zero talk here in terms of chips, pcbs and so on. And so i am curious if the mid-november still stands, cause "November shipping" could mean 30. November as well.

o'rama,

Talk knc into using fiat for modules plz.

[ASIC-K]

o'rama,

Talk knc into using fiat for modules plz.

+1 lol

[tolip_wen]

Regarding:
   running out of RAM
   SSH stops working
   Web interface stops working
   Miner reboots
   Miner stops hashing


The workaround I use is
DO NOT LEAVE THE MINER WEB PAGE ON STATUS
just click on another tab unless you are gonna read the info.

It is the constant status refresh on my machines that gobble up RAM.

YMMV

Important question: Are those upgrade modules individually tested or there is still chance to get one with completely disabled die?

[CYPER]

Does anyone know if Arctic i30 can be used instead of A30?

The only difference is the mounting plate.

Do KNC use a custom mounting plate?

I don't think KNC will guarantee you will get a fully working one

they canceled my order from Thursday last week without any information to me. it was wire transfer!

ohh man, will these ASIC producers never learn what customer/investors makes happy?

they are rich now, right? and where came the money from?

[Bargraphics]

Remember to use Bitcoinorama's Reseller link at the bottom of his signature when you purchase those upgrade modules Not sure if it will count towards anything but I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Just now that time is not as pressing, it would be fairly easy to quickly check them, as there is only 200 of them. That would save them and us shipping costs due to possible RMAs.

No, from what I'm aware of, they've been checked again.

Haha +1. I've only just added that, what a difference it could have made earlier!!

[CYPER]

If anyone is interested I just made a good visual inspection on my miners to see how they are attached and it looks they used Arctic i30 and not A30

A30:
