If i want to access the miner via my laptop and my mobile, lets say 192.168.1.xx + 192.168.1.xx, then what do i put in the management address? It won't let me put in 2 addresses

The miner has an address, the laptop has an address the mobile has an address if wifi connected.  Address cgminer using putty on either.

I think I found the reason the lightning was attracted to such a strange place.. I found the radio fence wire box was blown off the wall in the laundry area, and was all burnt. The perimeter fence keeps the dogs on the farm via radio wire, which circles the entire 3 acres, and I had to bury it across the driveway, right at the gate... right where the service line crosses the radio wire is where the lightning hit.

This connection between wireless devices and lightnings is far from being documented properly, from obvious reasons - a lot of companies could loose a lot of money in damages. Several years ago a kid was struck with lightning on the seaside, on the promenade. I was standing where he was just 10 minutes before the lightning stroke. He was dead on the spot, and when the  police came in to investigate it turned out he had a two working cell-phones in his backpack at the moment he got the blow. It's a very common practice around here for people to have two phones, one for each network, as network traffic within one network is almost free comparing to minutes between the different networks. I can not be positive he would be alive if there were no cellphones in that backpack, but that's reasonable to assume IMHO. Who knows when we will find the truth if these things are connected or not. Anyway, since than I'm turning my cell phone off when I'm in the open on a storm.

Pretty soon our upgraded Saturn's aren't going to matter with the project I have going on, but they feel like our first baby and we still have to take care of them.

Both of our upgraded Saturn's use to hash rock steady at 560Gh/sec. We have even upgraded our power supplies so each module is on it's own line. Then slowly no matter which firmware we used the hash rate would just very slowly drop and never increase again. Both of our Saturn's are doing this and they are hooked up hashing 100 miles apart from one another. Could it be that the hardware is starting to fail? We never had to mess around with their tuning kit. Apparently their hardware isn't as good as I thought it was if only after 3-4 months starts to behave negatively. I tested the power supplies, made sure all our connections are good. The only thing left is the hardware itself. Very strange our hashing speed would just decrease from 560 all the way to 520 with no intervention at all.

Just checking, but have you tried using a different pool?

I'm getting the hash rate not from the pool, but from the miner page itself.

[opentoe]

I never keep the web stats page up at all. I barely ever use it and when I did finally use it just to checking something noticed how slow things were going.


Is there any documentation for using the "tune" firmware? Before you start to blow up your rig? How many volts? Frequency, anything like that? Did KNC release anything on that or just threw it at us and said good luck?

Advanced tuning is only usable if your miner is not healthy (dead dies, disabled cores etc.), or you overclocking your machine. I am running 630 GH/s right now with my Oct Jupiter.

630 with 4 modules?

What do you think the safest die voltage level is while keeping the SPI voltage on automatic? I have an October 4VRM rig with 4 modules. I know my way around a linux system and can program pretty easily but when it comes to electrical stuff I'm kind of in left field. I just don't want to blow up my Dad's rig.

I presume you mean what do you put in the "Management" box in the Network page of the web interface on the new 0.99.2 firmware?

KNC do not seem to have documented this very clearly as far as I can see, unless you are a guru.
All they say is :-

"Miner management can be configured to allow access for trusted addresses only. The trusted addresses should be specified by using space separated addresses from which the miner is allowed to be accessed via HTTP and SSH.
- List of trusted management addresses can be changed on the "Network" page of the miner interface.
- On the "Mining" page there is now a setting which allows to the user to specify which addresses can access the miner's API interface."

and

"Management is list of addresses/networks with access to web console and SSH (if enabled). Use LAN for local LAN addresses only (same network) or RFC1918 for private networks.
 WARNING: If you are doing the setup remotely then make sure to add your address here."

I entered "LAN" here myself but would presume you could enter a space-delimited list of IP addresses, ranges seperated by a "-" and networks in the form of 192.168.*.* etc.

In my mind the issue is that if you are accessing remotely how do you make sure the IP address of your laptop or mobile is not changed by the networks you connect through?

You mean keep increasing the volts on the DIE until and I'll see the AMPS increase?

There are various services that offer you a static IP for your home network or rather they forward to the dynamic IP your ISP assigns and changes regularly.  You have your router forward incoming http connections to one of the machines on your network, same with ssh or telnet.  I've never tried ssh tunneling tho that's more secure.  But if the miner is vetting incoming IP addresses then I see what you mean.  It is useful tho.  Like logging onto the #kncminer IRC channel I see my IP is exposed.  I use to check lottery numbers from my networking class.  The lotto website was blocked.  I'd use TightVNC to log into my home machine desktop and calling up a browser on the remote machine I could access the lotto website.  Not too useful but could get to a blocked website that way.  One could use the same method to access a miner as the home network machine having the VNC server into which one would log would have a local IP address acceptable to the miner's vetting.

I overclocked my 8 VRM Oct Jupiter which is stable at 680Gh/s (4 modules) which is exactly what my November Jupiters are doing.

Yes, increase the volts and hit "Apply changes".  The cores may be completely disabled by CGMiner so you may need to restart CGMiner after you raise the volts some.

Mr. Itod, rumor goes you helped Satoshi himself with beta testing. Is there some truth to it?

[xstr8guy]

I live smack-dab @ 19.5 deg if you know what that means... (The Magnetic vortex) right near Kileua Crater
I should have known this would eventually happen. I got comfy here over the past few years thinking it was nonsense.
I wish there was something like solar that would capture electromagnetic/ionic energy and I could
Run some Neptunes with it... lol.
But Aussie Pete & I have a plan for the future using KNC Miners with an Industrial size E-cat (1MW) if we can get that far.
Minimum 1.5 mil we will need for that adventure. No electric bill running miners would be pure profit at some point...  any generation.
I know it sounds like a pipe dream, and maybe it is....  but after doing so well out the gate with KNC we figure if those scenarios were even close to duplicated over the next few months, it could become a possibility.


Soy....  everything was backed up several times... no worries there.. but thanks.
It's a high-end system I custom built... it will be MB(No Post)on MSI-GD658d, GPU(No power)Raedon7970 ... dunno if the cpu is still good or not (core17)  The TX750 that ran it is junk..  rattles like glass inside.  Dunno if the 2166 ocz ram is good or not, or the ssd... gotta test it.
I think I'm gonna trash the whole she-bang, and cut my losses... stick with laptops & external 3.0 drives.

Energy catalyzers are pure hokum.

Looks like today Cointerra finally put together a working machine.  It would be nice if KNC actually posted a status report on the Neptune boxes.

Neptunes might sell out now that people see they will be over twice as fast as terraminers

Are the neptune 10k customer only batch and the 13k batch shipping at the same time and current batch ships out a month after those first lots have shipped. Is that right?

I see Neps at 10k (9,999)  when I log in. Maybe prev customers get that price...or they cut it since I last looked? If they cut it to 5k I'd buy one..doubt they'll break even otherwise like most of the last rigs won't in BTC, and without that huge price rise that helped Oct/Nov buys ..not likely to break even in dollars either.

Makes more sense than the 13k batch shipping with the current batch as that would trigger refund requests probably.

IIRC the original $10K customers are receiving theirs first and the $13K customers Neptunes shipping second a couple of weeks later.
