Hey 'Orama!

We all knew it it's Q1/Q2. Part of the gamble.

But we have to remain competetive against other asic companies. So I think not Neptune is the bigger problem. The bigger problem is that you doesn't want to sell Jupiters until the Neptunes.

It's not customer protection, it's bullshit if you sell only upgrade modules. As I stated before, I had big trust in Knc and I was a happy customer. I "KEPT MY COINS HANDY" to buy Jupters to get enough hashpower to stay competetive.

Then no news. I bought 7 Antminer.

Still no news.

Then you come here and the that only upgrade modules and this bottleneck shit.

So please tell Sam an Andreas to give as an offical statement about Jupiters.

WILL BE AVALIABE FOR SALE? IF YES WHEN?

IF NO, TELL US STRAIGHT!

If no, we have to buy hashrate from other companies to REAMAIN COMPETETIVE.

And I repeat myself, I don't care about Neptunes. I think they will a good deal. I care about the next 3-4 months.


Well said ElGabo

There seems  to be a lot of speculation based on the lack of News Reports.........your last post seems to have left more questions  than answers ...........How about getting KnC to put out some definite News ............this forum is starting to get the same vibe as bfl and Josh .

News Report , Definite answers , Clarity ..........That will calm this angry crowd ...........

People have a long memory.........and the internet will expose  your integrity and shame

Wow Pete.....   had your coffee yet...?   You're my good friend, so I'll smite thee just a tad.....
DONT KILL THE MESSENGER PLEASE
Although, I may agree, there's no arguing those viewpoints

KNC should also get into other great bitcoin tech for when miner sales start to decline.

have a look at this from BFL
http://www.butterflylabs.com/bitcoin-hardware-wallet/  I like it... and want one of course, but from BFL I'll have to wait and see

or what about KNC bitcoin vending machines or ATM's

sorry for the OT but I wouldn't touch  a BFL hw wallet with a ten foot pole.

Mind you I really think the  concept per se is very useful, but please look harder for some other providers.

Anyone have the sd card image for an october jupiter? I tried the one on KNC's site but it doesn't seem to work when I put it on an sd card and flash it according to these steps: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3910296#msg3910296

Need some help guys, I reflashed my 99.1-t miner to 99.1-t so that I could get rid of bfgminer and now my miner has changed ips's and I cannot ssh or access its web interface. Also its drawing 235 watts. I tried to do the 5 presses 5 seconds 5 press and then I rebooted and that did not do that trick so I think I need to try the sd card reflash. Has anyone done this?


Does anyone know how to perform the sd card reflash?

Thanks!

Find out what IP address it's using.  Use linux nmap or if you use Windows, there's a Windows version I suppose will give you the same data.

running nmap on one of my linux machines, the network address is 192.168.1.0 so the command is:

nmap 192.168.1.*

then it will output a scan report for every device on your network including some non-existent Windows devices.  The Merc gave me this:

Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.xyz (not really xyz)
Host is up (0.00013s latency).
Not shown: 998 closed ports
PORT     STATE     SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (Unknown)

It is reported as having an unknown manufacturer.

When my Merc has become difficult after a change of some kind, I disconnect the ribbon cables from the controller board and boot to access the BBB.

yep....  a simple I.P. scan should reveal it....

my hosted miners just went offline.

one has come back online at 670GH!!!!
second is only at 580 now, it is always lagging though....

edit: now it is dropping and is back under 600GH. wish i took a screenshot of it up at 670GH, i was very confused.
The other dropped as low as 480 though.

maybe they are testing OC on hosted units?

edit: something is happening

They are switching off your machines in Stockholm and starting up equivalent machines in Reykjavík

Cool makes for a crazier adventure for when i go and collect them...... Although I was planning to go by car....

They never thought about that. Now bitcoinorama will have to load them all back onto the boat and paddle them back to Sweden

damnit knc, why did you have to remove ports 5 & 6 from the Nov Jups. 

Some of the Oct Jupiters were shipped with only 4 ports as well. Not really fair for those that planned to upgrade them.

$2 in parts, a little soldering skills....

No soldering skills here, but can you link me to the parts?

+1 on that request.

Drop "idc 2x5 connector" into ebay and you'll find what you are looking for

I solder.  It is not a simple as it sounds.  The odds are higher that you'll make your controller board non-functional than succeed in adding sockets - unless you are an experienced technician with a lot of soldering time.  Get an old motherboard, remove a connector with .1" spacing between the pins even if it has many more pins than the socket  you wish to add to the controller board.  Try putting  one of those sockets into the motherboard.  You'll see it's more difficult than you expect.  Anyone who would tell a novice to try such a thing to a controller board is looking to reduce the net hashrate by killing your machine.

I wish knc would have just put 6 connectors on all jupiter controller boards. It probably would have cost them less than $1 per Jupe and would have made them upgradable.

For those with free ports left, the question is now where to get additional modules...

Disgusted miners with a faulty control board who don't want to go through RMA and want to resell individual modules would be the only option that comes to my mind right now (scavenger mode on)

I have an extra controller board given to me by a regular poster in this thread.
Let the bidding begins 
How much do you think it is worth?

With the red herring add your own sockets to controller boards posts, there would be many modules and mangled controller boards up for auction.  Think of it, guy ruins a Jupiter hoping to overclock with extra modules that aren't even available, he makes a mess of it and abashedly auctions off 4 modules.

(go ahead, call me a fink)

is this with beaglebone in it?
is it in working condition?
