Update: I tried holding down the small button on the front of the control board while powering the unit on, and it came to life now and booted normally. I don't know if the button press did it, or if it was just luck. I'm afraid to touch it again now.
good to know. I have a bad unit that is very prone to this kind of behaviour: it simply don't want to boot after been switched off. the only way to resurrect it is reflashing the fw through the SD card. next time i'll give this method a try. Did you try it by luck or did you read somewhere, maybe on some BBB forums?

Hi there,
i am looking to solomine with one jupiter. Any idea how to manage that? I could setup a pool on a raspberry, right?

You will need bitcoind and the whole blockchain. Not sure a Rpi would like that unless you used a USB SATA drive.

I am basically looking for altcoins, so maybe the blockchain wouldnt be that much of a problem there. But of course a USB SATA could solve that. Afaik i would have to run stratum cause getwork would be way to slow for a jupiter? That lead me to the conclusion that only a complete private pool on a rasp could do the job. (?)

You will need bitcoind and the whole blockchain. Not sure a Rpi would like that unless you used a USB SATA drive. You will also need a local stratum proxy or pool server. Bitcoind cannot reliably handle 600GHps+ of mining load using the old getwork protocol. See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0I would be surprised if a Pi is powerful enough for the job. Be aware that to mine altcoins you will need to change the Network ID in the eloipool config to match the network you are mining on.

hw errors eligius continues same after few hours
i continue dont know why knc ask psu 1200W if only max 700w
Eligius blows. Pay the fee and use The Guild. Nothing but bliss and payouts like clock work. Why does Eligius blow? Just wondering its been better then the guild for me. Because I think the payout system there blows and the stats/info you get back aren't nearly as informative as The Guild's. I also like the manual payout feature which Eligius does not have. I've had good hash rate, but trying to get paid was another issue. So I went to the Guild and been paying fees ever since. Their dashboard and informative charts are at my finger tips and very clean and easily read. Suckers everywhere, Pay 3% for pretty colors and "quicker payouts" because you don't know how to use the "My Eligius" Features. People are trying to maximize their money, if I had to pay a 3% fee I would have paid BTC Guild BTC16, I hardly believe their stats and manual payout feature is worth that. Different Strokes for Different Folks! When people are so hooked and loyal to a pool having stats doesn't matter anyway, cause they are going to stay there no matter what. Bad stats or good stats. I'll gladly pay for a more refined look and better looking dashboard. I'm sorry but the Eligius site looks like a teenager wrote the code and really needs a big overhaul in my opinion. And trust me, soon as the operator spends more time and actually doing some updates he'll charge a fee. Features? Yea, I've seen them....they aren't must to be desired. I guess you think the thousands that pool there are all suckers, right and the Eligius pool is for the "techie" or "nerds" only that only know how to use the site. Such typical answers to an opinion.

Does anyone know how much the power consumption of the Neptune will be? An educated guess? I already have an order on the Bitmine 2TH rig which consumes 3 KW so I can't have anything more than 2 KW in my apartment Also, how high is the risk of fire on these rigs? I am concerned since we don't have smoke detectors in our old Denmark apartments, and having two units would double the risk. From what I have read on these forums KnC units have been going up in smoke now and then. Does such an event lead to a fire hazard inside an apartment? I am totally new to this mining merry-go-round so advise from experienced hands will be very useful Don't you guys have a hardware store where you can buy a cheap fire detector? Hell, even fire stations in the US give them out for free. Are you against using a fire detector or something?

No sorry but it looks more like a teenager in the 1990's wrote it But who cares it's a good pool and if it added a few more alt-coins then it would get all of - www.redstarmining.com - hashrate. I'm a big P2Pool fan BTW it just the ease that pools like Eligus and GHash.io offer for merge-mining. Compared to running your own node.

For me they are too big, Eligius is a good balance between big enough to work through the blocks quickly but not too big that they look like becoming a threat to the network. Ghash.IO with 34% and BTC Guild with 23% are getting on the large size for me. https://blockchain.info/pools Eligius has given great performance and is responsive to their users. The stats are fine and give enough information imho, I've used most of the pools from Slush to BTCG, not ghash, and was a BTCG member for a long time on GPU's, Erupters and BFL but since moving to KnC Eligius has done pretty good job, not perfect but none of them are.

PSU for Neptune: 30 % less power consumption, mean 0,7 Watt per GigaHash/s, mean 3000 * 0,7 = 2100 Watt for one Neptune ! 2 x PSU or how will we power on the neptune? And yes, it is now clear like mud!

Exactly... we could end up anywhere wattage wise, but If I was to guess... 3Th/s was a minimum number, which means we could indeed be in excess of 3000 watts, if the Neptune is like 4.25Th/s or above.. which is likely... But I was indeed thinking for that price, PSU's would indeed be included... especially after the fiasco's dealing with PSU branding & specs.... Built in wi-fi wouldn't hurt either.... Licorice dispenser optional....

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I'm sure engineering would like nothing better to design their own power supply into the Neptune instead of contending with the vagaries of all manufacturers and models.

The economics of mining have changed since the $10k Batch 1 and $13k Batch 2 days: today's BTC exchange rate isn't what it used to be just a few weeks ago. I don't expect the current Neptune batch to sell out quickly. And perhaps it won't sell out at all. 15 BTC for a Q2 3TH unit is quite the leap of faith.
