I keep getting an, "Error: blob is too big" when I try to dl the raw Oct bin. Anyone else get this?

Thanks that, worked, any idea why grabbing the raw didn't work for these files? Just curious because usually I can just grab the raw version. Thanks for the help.

Man Bitcoin mining is just not good for your health.  These ASIC companies have probably chopped a few years from my life, at least.  2013 was the year I developed gray hairs like crazy.  Every time I come to these boards I think about past personal mistakes and get incredibly frustrated.  Life is much more enjoyable away from here.  Getting away really helps you appreciate what you have a lot more and helps to stop worrying.

I think knc has added a few years to mine, but I didn't make big losses with the other companies.

No 0.99.2-E-tune?

No built-in bertmod?

No unified release to support both module types, and mixed module types in the same system?

No OC in the web UI?

No licorice dispenser?

:waah:

[Paladin69]

So on the October tuning front, would anyone mind sharing their tweaked voltage numbers?  I've still left mine at default.

He is bitter because he can't afford KnC gear, although he claimed to have KnC gear and yet he is dissapointed in it and said it will not ROI.
Why all of the other KnC customers can ROI and he is the only one that can't.
Something fishy about this, I bet he is still mining with GPU and don't want people to add hashrate to the network.
Well in that case I have to dissapoint you, I will add a shitload off hashrate to the network.
If I don't do that another will.

I received my October unit on Oct 28th, have been mining constantly, and I am still down 20 BTC from what I paid in BTC for it.

Let me put it in a different way that will make more sense.

If BTC had stayed around $100, only those that received their shipments early October would have made their $ back. People who paid in $ just got lucky with BTC climbing.
 
If you bought BTC at the time in stead of purchasing your miner with $, you would have had more BTC and $ equivalent Today, especially for those getting delivered past Oct 15th.

I disagree, and since none of us can (or could) see the future either way, it's really not relevant. If btc had stayed at $100, MANY less people would be mining, difficulty would not be anywhere near where it is today, and your machine would have easily produced those bitcoins. It is all connected.

You should make at least another BTC5.00 over the next six weeks.  Imagine if you went with HF October deliveries instead.  Also you was offered a discount and first dibs on Neptunes.  Although one of our miners was delivered in the same date range as you.  So we're in the same boat as you with that miner.

You are right, it comes down to making a gamble, some of us won, some of us lost. And as Matthewh3 noted, the HF gamble went bad for everyone involved. I just want to inject a bit of reality into this thread where people are screaming EVERYONE made out by buying their October batch. Note that I am happy with the hardware, I think it's a fantastic piece of art.

In any case, I will run the unit into the ground trying to recoup my investment, I should be able to get close in the next 6 months.

I actually passed on the Neptune, with no set delivery date, many other manufacturers shipping soon, and the mysterious unknown miner adding hashing power every day, I felt uncomfortable making another gamble.

[matthewh3]

I have a haunce that KNC are waiting for HF and/or CT to starting shipping en masse to drop some more Neptune news.  Also as I've said before I don't think they'll offer any more Jupiter's until some rock solid positive Neptune news.

Can kncminer-0.99.2-tune.bin solve dead Die problem for Nov. miners or it is just for Oct. miners?
It seems kncminer-0.99.2-E.bin does not improve so much for Nov. miners!

It seems that if you read the changelog and apply some thinking you will answer your question.

I'm beginning to think the Jupiter's aren't going to launch.  Every time I talk to KNC they make it sound like they still have no plans and they make it sound like the Neptune is coming first.

I think the amount of people wanting to cancel their Neptune's for more Jupiter's is quite high and they might be questioning themselves now.

People aren't stupid.  The difficulty is going to run away from everyone.  KNC is going to obliterate the diff once again like they did last year and people want to mine now rather than wait.

Well KNC staff posted in the KNC Forums that Neptunes 2nd batch they still have for sale are "going fast" ...so I'd safely assume NO CHANCE of any Jupiters being released into the wild before that batch of Neptunes are sold out.....imho

but yeah...if they are ahead of the timeline they set for themselves for selling Neptunes.....(whatever that is) it is unlikely we will see any more Jupiters at any price

*I'm unsure on how I feel on this me and 2 brothers have 2 Neptunes on order 1 batch one 1 batch 2....on the other hand have USD for Jupiters if priced right...hmmmm...I'm on the fence?"

add to that my current 555gh Jupiter to the best of my knowledge is mining .18 btc /day and difficulty is projected more or less 30 percent again ...so you run that out ways...say I get my Jupiter NEW batch er.....by 2nd week of Feb say....what I'd be looking at maybe .10 btc/day....then Neptunes come out by april 1st say?

anyway seems awful tight imho

so I too still think it is a no go (I do however have a corsair 1200i just in case and 30 days to send it back..i'm sooooooo conflicted"

confused ..this bitcoin stuff makes my head hurt......

Searing

Do I have to say it again? Jupiter's were never going to be for sale. KNC pumped led us all on into thinking to "get some coins handy", was for an upcoming Jupiter sale then a huge coincidence, without notice or anything a Neptune sale pops up. I don't know why anyone doesn't believe this or think a company would actually do that to incur sales. This is what companies do. A little lie here, a little lie here, all to make more sales and more money in the pocket. KNC was fully aware of other companies taking pre-orders and possibly may come out before their Neptunes so they had to think of something right away to make us not pre-order anything else and give them time to prepare to list the Neptunes again. And yes, this is may hard opinion on this.

I doubt they would say, "sales aren't doing too good". Usually when a company has to verbally announce sales are going good and fast sometimes is a reverse psychological move. KNC has choose to abandon their own forum for support or just to be part of the community and then all of a sudden they have the time to post their sales are going fast? To me, that means sales aren't what they expected and posting something like that is a "reminder" to us all that they still are for sale.

Your idea only affects people who can only buy one machine, or have no coins to play with. It's really not a big deal. It's also not a lie, when they didn't promise they were selling them, just said they might. They still say they might, and people won't buy them if they wait too long. As it is, nobody else is shipping anything significant, except crazy overpriced BFL and antminer. Thinking that telling us jupiters would be available soon, then posting a new price on neptunes for far in the future is some dishonest act, is nuts.


As for sales, listen to the bitcoinorama interview with engadget. They did amazing sales on neptunes. Huge dollars heading in. Probably more than anyone else, and the customers will be happy with what they receive just like most of us were with jupiters.

Just submitted for my 2nd batch Neptune refund.  So that's one extra spot for an (un)lucky person.

Don't expect a "speedy" refund, some of us have been waiting WEEKS for their refunds to be processed, and I'm sure most of them are in front of you...


***    P.S.   Has ANYONE had their Neptune refund processed yet?   ***

It's all good dude. Just chill. I'm sure KNC has got ya covered! You'll be fine. They are a great bunch of people.

Mining is over

I remember hearing that in 2011 and a lot more often 

Mining is over to regular consumer/residential people. Well, they can certainly keep mining but unless they have free electricity they will be in the red and just wasting resources/money. After this wave of 600+ Gh/sec rigs come out that's end game for normal households. If you want to continue to mine you'll need to re-wire your electrical panel at your home and spend significant money on doing that, rent a warehouse space where electric is included, something like that to keep making anykind of profit.

I just wish more of my friends were involved so we could all group buy some rigs, but they are cheap as hell and greedy bastards and couldn't see buying 2 Netptune's for $20,000 + shipping charges. I could get a real nice car with that down payment. One guy even has a grow house and gets about $30k for each harvest. Now, that's nuts. He has the resources to setup some really nice miners, but rather grow earths weed. To each his own I guess.

30k? Tiny setup.
