ok also if have more than one miner

is better to put all the miner at same btc adress
or but for every miner different adress?

i am mining on eligius and i am using one address for my two jupiter. there is no reason to use different addresses.

Miner in between 2 open windows + Open case + side fan.

I'm currently building this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_F83SbHMyg
So when it is ready I will have to move all the units to it and do something about the overheating board.

Hi CYPER,

very nice, what material are you planning to build them with?  Timber, MDF?

and also, what are you using to draw/design these 3D animated images?  Does the drawing package create the video?

I'd love to have a go at the drawing thingy you're using.  Very cool.

Thanks.

That program looks like Sketchup.  Pretty easy to use, i like it.

[CYPER]

Nice! You should sell these. I for one would buy.

I am no professional carpenter, so it takes me a considerable amount of time to make one of these  
Better to give you the plans and help you build it yourself

18mm MDF. Total surface area both sides is around 9 sq.m and total weight is 60kg.
Shelves are 60cm by 60cm and total height is around 1.40m. Each compartment is 21cm high.

Sketchup is the program - never used it in my life and after 2-3 hours this is what I made.
Very intuitive and easy to use
Yes, it makes and exports the video.

Thanks CYPER and Cablez,
I'm going to download it and give it a go.
Cheers

Neptunes are down to 787/1500
KNC details say only 1200 will be sold this batch.

Leaving 487 units up for grabs.

I don't think that number reflect how many Neptunes are available

Still a tough number to swallow.  If they were more open with (aka, had available) any realistic estimates for hashrate, power usage, etc., they would be sold out by now.  I have to agree with whoever posted above that for the price tag they haven't put enough info forth and have such a wide open delivery window this is more of a faith-based purchase than their first gen devices.  I believe in a lot of things, just not a mining company holding my pre-order funds for up to and including six months.  Been down that road, got lucky it paid itself off due to dramatic rise in price, but for $13k?  My group has the cash but nobody here is that much of a cowboy.

This.

I grew up during the beginning of the computer revolution. By comparison, from my observations, the KNC devices are free of defect. The early "consumer" computers did not function without tinkering. My first computer was an IMSAI Altair. I still have fond memories of that machine, even though my watch has a much more powerful processor now. But it was not "plug it in and it works". You had to have quite a bit of knowledge JUST to plug it in! And then you had to get it to talk to a terminal (Televideo 101 in my case). Then, if you wanted to retain any of your data, you had to either build a floppy disk controller or a tape deck controller on an S-100 template (or spend a few hundred 1974 dollars to have someone do it) by hand, build a cable to interface with the damn thing, and hope it worked. THEN you had to code in a bootstrap routine (again, by hand, often by punch card in those days, though I used the terminal). From there you could program in such cool things as terminal emulation, or get a C/PM OS which had it built in (but not the basic bootstrap, that had to be hand coded) and connect up to your high speed 140 baud modem.

It was a great time, despite how it sounds now. My ONLY problem with these highly experimental ASIC devices is that I couldn't raise the money to get one. If I had, I'd be having a blast tweaking it.

Let's face it, Bitcoin is in itself a grand experiment. It's as fraught with danger of failure as early computers. When I was a kid, mos people thought that computers were strange, and never would amount to anything. Now everyone has one and we live in a wired world. Bitcoin is where computers were in the early '70s. If it succeeds, yeah, there will be properly tested machines at walmart. But that time is in the future. Those of you who got in on it now are the vanguard. It may end in failure and ashes, but it might blow up the way computers did. Either way, you'll have one hell of a story to tell your kids. They won't believe you, just like my son don't believe there was a time without the internet or personal computers or CD's...

But you will know. And you'll remember the tribulations of the early days in a way different light than the current frustration. IBM, Intel and Microsoft didn't change the world, they just provided the tools. WE changed the world.

Great words Biomech !  I sent two of my friends your post. Very inspiring and gives awareness where we are. It's like a hippie or harley. Thank you!

Agreed. Those complaining about Knc quality should go read through the Bitfury thread. Folks are doing all sorts of kludgy things to get their hardware to work properly, including putting packing peanuts between the h-boards!

In my opinion, the Knc offerings are extremely well refined compared to ASIC offerings from other companies. I'm amazed at what they were able to pull off with such a tight schedule!

ok also if have more than one miner

is better to put all the miner at same btc adress
or but for every miner different adress?

Don't use a different address, but at the end of each address put an underscore and a unique name to set them apart. _jupiter1 _jupiter2

thanks for the info

using one address and the unique underscore name, does it still let you view each miner stats separately?

Yes, it overlays them one on top of each other upon the graph.

You get a different colour for each worker.

hey orama,

i got one november jupiter that has 3 die disabled on one board. any advise??

Cool, I must try this.
Thanks Orama

Don't forget kncminer.cn they seem to still have Jupiters for sale

Shhh! First rule of knc miner - don't mention knc china.

Yep thats what I do, and in the graph they are coloured differently, plus you can clock on "Toggle display of Worker details" and you get the stats in numbers rather than a graph.

Anyone have a single Oct Upgrade module they want to sell?

Please PM me, happy to pay premium.

hey orama,

I think we need to wait for the tuning suite, mines like this currently (657Gh/s):

Board 0 - 3 Cores off - All VRM fine
Board 2 - 3 Cores off - VRM 7 - FAULT 4
Board 3 - 3 Cores off - VRM 0,2,5,7 - FAULT 4
Board 4 - 2 Cores off - All VRM fine

[helmax]

also here sometimes cores dies
