malice & greed, poorly disguised as incompetence

Good to see you~

I guess my #21xxx order will postpone till November, hope they solve most issue then~

Hey Edgar is a hero now !

Poodle - fat chance …. it shouldn't take a team of embedded systems engineers a week to issue a firmware release to fix a couple of 'little problems'.

You gotta wonder if there isn't some kind of ASIC issue going on ...

The fact that the cables started to melt at the cube end suggests they were plugged in correctly or they simply are cheap quality cables.

No. It means KnC can't design for shit.

Remeber them bragging about "over engineering"?  

[vesperwillow]

I find it awfully peculiar that they'd go against standard electrical practices with that single connector design. They're not dumb. There's an old phrase, if it's too coincidental, it's not coincidental.

The only question is, what's the gain for them purposefully using a single connector? It would have to be a really good gain because it would likely nail them in the foot from future orders en-masse. First thing which comes to my mind, speculating, is that it delays/limits the rampup of nethash.

Then there's cloudhashing, is it tied in a way to shift thought toward cloud hashing?

Who knows..

Has there been any indication yet of when the compensation Neptunes are going to be shipped?

(The extra/duplicate Neptunes for the first and second batch buyers...)

-MarkM-

They will probably ship compensation Neptunes when they have a new 10nm miner. They will  clear out the dator hall of old Neptunes and ship them as compensation units. Got to make space for the new miner.

Titan FW 1.03 still dumps….

[bitdigger2013]

no difference for me either w 1.03

Now I smell rat over there, I would recommend people to ask KnCminer to attach testing report with our Titans.

In formal way, they should attach FQC report and Kurt or one of his team member have to sign signature to take responsibility of quality, that will show us their professional!

Yes indeed.... tested it and it's the same trouble.

yes indeed, 1.03 is LESS stable than 1.02
I just reflashed with firmare 1.02

Stock PSU cables aren't not, let me repeat, ARE NOT pretty high-end cables. They don't even start to come close. You need to buy 16AWG cables from this guy. http://www.shakmods.com/shop&&#!/~/product/category=3316088&id=37642162

Those are "HIGH-END" cables. The fact that the cables started to melt at the cube end suggests they were plugged in correctly or they simply are cheap quality cables.

Seasonic PSUs are pretty high end in terms of quality.  I am pretty sure the PCIe cables on these 1250W units are 16AWG.  They are really thick.  I don't think the issue here is with the wires.  I still have a bunch of Neptune cubes using Seasonic 1250W PSUs for months without any signs of burning but this Titan cube has burn marks after just 5 days of mining.  I am certain that everything was plugged in correctly.  Because of all the issues people have had with their Neptune's, I triple check all my connections when I set up equipment.  Requiring third party cables and terminals is silly.  They really should have provided the PSUs and cabling if they were going to go out of standard spec considering how much customers paid for these miners.

would some electrical contact grease not help?

[Searing]

no difference for me either w 1.03

starting to look bad (my guess is raspberry Pi is not up to snuff..but who knows?

[vesperwillow]

would some electrical contact grease not help?

You could solder the cables to the board and still have the same/similar issues if there's too much draw.

While it's a pisspoor setup from an OEM, I would just bite the bullet and solder some 12-16 gauge wires from the 12v rail inside the PSU, to the PCB and be done with it.

[jelin1984]

Yes but a20 or a10 not pi

[Micky25]

would some electrical contact grease not help?

It would have probably been helpful for the titan batch 1 customers, but the bend-over already happened and now its too late. Maybe soothing ointment can help now.

[s1gs3gv]

Any Titan order status changes today ?

Order #, Paid date ?

[jelin1984]

No still paid mine

[l3sny]

Where are the bonus Neptics ??

[jelin1984]

Hahah these is joke
