According to Amazon tracking my Arctic i30 has been out for delivery since Friday USPS.  It wasn't in my PO box.  I went to USPS tracking with the number and supposedly it's been delivered but to Carlsbad, California.  I call customer serivce and they say it's going to Arizona.  I said I don't give a damn what you do with that get me one and get it to me early this week.  Oh, we can't, we're out of stock.  We can refund you money....  (loud cursing on my part and I hang up).

Seems even the big boys don't have perfect customer service.

Looks like huevo nuevo has them in stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186058

15? The range seems to indicate a max val of 10, no?

  you're totally right.

just looked up what the mentioned value was and then I though let's add the line from the documentation
should have read my own post before sending it  

So I tried messing with the queue setting in cgminer. Set my miner to solo mine btc.

What happens is all the other backup pools kick in and get some of the work. I get quite a few "pool is not providing work fast enough" errors.

I tried difficulty of 10, 15, 40, 75, 90. Higher numbers seemed to get less "fast enough" errors, but it's seems to farm out more work to failover pools.

Probably would need to run everything a lot longer to see how the values settle over time, but don't want to waste good hashing time experimenting
But the fact it was balancing the work with all the backup pools means it isn't strictly solo mining and it doesn't seem to be able to keep up.

No matter how big you make your queue, it will always overrun it eventually if you are using getwork with an ASIC miner.  Getwork is simply not fast enough to keep up, and that is one of the main reasons why stratum was invented.  If you are mining with ASICs, you have to use either GBT or stratum.

If you want to use stratum, you will have to set up a stratum pool with yourself as the only miner, which is a major pain.  BFGMiner is the only simple solution I know of, since it explicitly solves the problem by using GBT directly to bitcoind/bitcoin-qt.  Read the 'Solo Mining' section in the BFGMiner readme to learn more.

I actually tried today setting up solo mining on my Saturn with BFGMiner, as I suggest above - and it turns out that the BBB does not have enough horsepower to run GBT as it is now.  It just pegs out the CPU.

So it looks like my advice above is accurate if you are running the miner on your PC, but not if you are trying to run it on your KnC miner

It seems that the most workable solution for solo mining with KnC miners is, at least until GBT is optimized, still going to require setting up a private stratum pool.

In retrospect it's likely the post office.  There somebody reads a label and tosses the package in bin for the state/city but a few times recently, a paranoid would say deliberately, my packages have been tossed in a wrong bin and ended up far distant from Georgia.  Seems to happen to Amazon shipments to me.  Even skipped the free shipping and paid the standard fare.

Well if this one doesn't get to me I'll look into going with Newegg.  Problem with them I recall is that their shipping scheme has no contract with USPS and won't deliver to a PO Box.  I've been so frustrated with the United States Postal Service with my po box deliveries I may go to a UPS store and rent a mailbox.  I don't trust the rural mailboxes in a cluster out on the main road here.  The most recent batch of young'uns around seem a notch better than a few years back but the temptation to look into those rural mailboxes has to be there. Delivery to the home is out due to distance of my closed driveway gate from my door and the trees blocking the view.

Seems like KNC is hiring people, does this mean they will have better customer service?

There is nothing wrong with customer service, they work their socks off above and beyond the call of duty to answer all the emails. Sure they don't know every answer, but they're as new to the hardware as you are. There's a hell of a lot more happy customers, than unhappy.

Some of you really need some perspective.

KNC is not perfect but they are 80% better than their nearest competitor.

So they won't get better customer service, they will have the best customer service!!

Seems the performance is similar to v0.9.8 and v0.9.8.1 for these systems in its operating environment.

Well ....I got some nerve and bit the bullet and upgraded my Jupiter from 0.95 to 0.99 direct...so far it seems to work no worse then it did so we will see.

From what I gather it may 'pump' more voltage thru the unit then 0.95 or is it the other way around..?

Last point should I enable 'enablecores' option now or later or don't it matter in that I can toggle its use off/on in the future?

and my last question if I have to go back to 0.95 for some reason do I do a 5 button reset or can I just put 0.95 in upgrade box and upgrade backwards that way?



Thanks....well I did not brick it....the line that made me upgrade on the knc page was "if your miner is running as intended you should upgrade"

I was getting like 555gh stable on the 0.95 and like 7100 wu and like 525gh on slush or so it said more/less and it was 'rock stable" only have like

2 cores ever go off/on and 1 is like prob 3x a day at most the other maybe once every 4hrs or so... so I met the 'as intenended criteria I guess

anyway i'll let folks know

thanks for any help on the above questions


and by the by I have a "new" 7gh bfl jally I'm willing to part with for my cost $388 "in hand" for anyone who wants such a unit for other sha256 or as a toy...only opened it up to see if it revved up and the fan was ok etc ...otherwise mint....I could get more on eBay ..but that is a hassle would rather just get what I have into it from BFL and get btc from you guys....if anyone is interested here...there is also a method to transfer the unit to you from me thru BFL  once payment is complete and delivery to you again the unit can be xfered on the BFL site in your name...and hey I'll even throw in a 333mhz asic block erupter I have knocking around here as well to complete your trip back on memory lane asic wise! heh..

anyway ....if anyone needs a toy for alt coins or whatever throwing it out here if not...I'll probably  just keep it and play with it but before I knock the 'shiny new' status off of it figured I'd ask here..

again thanks in advance for the above questions answered

Although I got my Jupiter 2 week later than everyone , Delivered Oct 29th and had some problems with 0 die initially, with the latest update 0.99 it's been performing flawlessly. I don't even need to regulate the temperature anymore for the die 0 problem which was a pain in the ass.

Thumbs up for your hardware. Thumps down for late delivery :|

LOL.   That had me laughing...

[incognitoworker]

Damn, I hate when everyone talks about difficulty and throws out the charts. It just shows us how little time we all have. I probably won't be able to afford buying new mining hardware since I haven't even broke even with my Saturn and then just spent $2k on modules. I'd love to stay in the game, but it doesn't take a brainer to realize more money going out then coming in.

I guess eventually I will sell my Jupiter for something. The sooner the better I feel.

pm me anytime if you wanna sell!

Yes, me. I am at London Stansted, waiting at the gate to be boarded. Expert to be at Knc offices at around 13.30 local time.
