And too much heat ! My apartment is like an oven with just one running.. I have a better idea for how to get everything square with the hardware only hashing 50% on both group buys. How about this: - When the other Jupiter gets here, I'll get it out, configure it, and put it back in the box.
- On Tuesday morning I'll ship it down to hosting.
- Once it arrives on Wednesday and starts hashing - bringing us up to 100% on both group buys - I'll do a manual payout from BTCGuild so we have all the 50% funds in the GB wallets that we've made to date.
- Once all the 50% hashing funds are in the wallets, I'll match them both to bring the payout up to what 100% would have been
That gets everything caught up immediately without having to worry about needing to catch up in the future. We'll run with onw Jupiter here, the other in hosting until the third machine show up. I'll immediately get that configured and shipped off so that we have both GB machines running down in Missouri. Once it arrives, I can decommission the box at my house and get it shipped down there without affecting the group buys. Comments  It is a plan. Sound work. I know about too much heat I ran 13 pc's and 26 gpus in my attached garage all winter my heating bill dropped 150 a month last winter. I notice you didn't mention how much your electricity bill increased during that time... |

Firmware update 0.94 10/9/2013 10:11:00 AM All, Our engineering team have another release that will improve stability. It also includes a few web interface updates with some basic statistics on the ASIC performance. www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/kncminer-0.94.binIt’s recommended that all users apply this fix. Thanks KnCMiner team

- Once all the 50% hashing funds are in the wallets, I'll match them both to bring the payout up to what 100% would have been
That gets everything caught up immediately without having to worry about needing to catch up in the future at a higher difficulty. We'll run with one Jupiter here, the other in hosting until the third machine shows up. I'll immediately get that configured and shipped off so that we have both GB machines running down in Missouri. Once it arrives, I can decommission the box at my house at my leisure, configure it for my own pools, and get it shipped down there without affecting the group buys in any way. Comments Sounds good as long as both R5 & R6 owners have recovered the amount of BTC during the down time & hashing at half the speed.  |

Thanks KnCMiner team Although the story on the forums (and my personal philosophy) is, if what you have works, don't mess with it. (More commonly quoted as "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.") This Jupiter is smoking along very nicely at between 580 and 600 Gh/s. Are you SURE that you want me to start screwing around with doing firmware upgrades ?? |

Haha we can wait! In the long term I think we should update because less Watt are used per GH/s in the new versions

Well, my take on it is this:
This Jupiter probably has a life expectancy of about three months before it doesn't cover the hosting costs, which include the electricity. Efficiency is not an issue. If it continues to run this well just as it is, I'd suggest not upgrading the firmware or otherwise changing anything about it, for as long as it does.
Now you could probably force a a vote on this if you wanted, and I'd just have my 5 shares to vote in that case, but I think the fact that it's cranking out nearly 600 Gh/s would be a pretty strong argument for leaving it alone....

If many people do the firmware and get 700gh at 600 watts for a week yeah do it,
but never be a guinea pig. Wait for confirmation that the update is good. And also a big improvement. And that we hashed a lot of coin.
my vote is " wait for it" = "the greatest middle name ever" (what tv show is that quote from?)

I'd say a 50% overclock is *great* in anyone's book not running LN2 for geek cred. Reminds of that time back in the day when mah Celeron Overclocked 50% to 450 whole Megahurts. I'd say one working 600GH/s miner in-hand is easily worth two 650GH/s miners in the bush flames. I'm pretty sure that's how that folk wisdom goes. |

based on photos of the burned up knc miners . based that our miner has a broken power jack for one fan. based that out of about a 7000 usd per miner cost about 55 coins per miner. total of 110btc. not counting other costs
based on the collection of about 2.5 btc so far. we are still down 107.5 btc lets at least get back 40 or 50 btc, paid out to us before we do this. I am in on 5 or 6 buys from dz and others on this site. I put out about 35 coins. so far I have collected 1 coin back (cloudhashing and they are about to go bust).
I would feel better if the only good buy so far for me this one pays out some coin before we blow it up. Think goose eggs golden killed.

We could also be one rev behind, unless the new rev fixes a major problem there is no point.
I also agree if it isn't broke don't fix it. Typically fixing something that isn't broke can cause a lot of issues, and as i have said in a previous post this first month is our money maker. 1 day of no hashing is just a waste escpecially on something that isnt' needed. Now in December when 1 day is going to be nothing then yeh go for it. And i understand Redacted you would make us whole but there is no point in that when it could have been averted.
Now if they said hey this firmware now lets us mine at 1 th i would say it could be worth the risk even if it caused us to only last 2 months as those months are our biggest money maker. From what i understand is mining is a sprint race, you go fast out of the gate for as long as possible.

additionally will we ever switch to mining PPC, there is talk through out the mining world that ppc is going to be the dumping ground for asics just like LTC was for GPU's.
I have tripled my money in PPC which is nice, but i am just wondering if there has ever been that discussion?

I have an announcement.  I won't go into details, but some heavy RL stuff happened near -R- so please go easy on him for requests & such, if you can for a bit. He's fine & I won't hurt our friendship by revealing what happened but I'd appreciate it if you gals & guys can give him some time/space. If you have some urgent matters related to R5/R6, please contact Thomas or myself first.Thank you. |
