okay thanks for the reply. Nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could punch all those IPs into your browser and see if one connects.  Not a very elegant solution but it should work.

does anyone have any red light at front of the knc panel when minig?
what these mean?

You guys think I can put two Saturns on one power supply?  Or is it better to just run each on it's own PS.

I have a 1200 Watt PS.  I'd prefer to use one as it saves space.

Thanks for your input.

hmm... what the hell is with that average?! Since friday i got 9BTC so the 5s should be correct?!
anyone any ideas?

You should have minted @1TH/s to get 9btc with only 1 jup

Added an FAQ to the first post for questions I see coming up quite often.

Anything you'd like to add let me know.

We got our 2 Jupiters on Monday.

Anyone who is getting a miner from KnC should be sure to open up the box, as both units had fans that had fallen loose and one unit had a couple of plugs that had wiggled their way free. 

After checking that everything was ready to go, setup was a breeze and the miners have been running fairly stable.  Averaging around 500+ on both, so good so far.

Hi,

I just posted a firmware mod for KnCminer 0.93, I thought you might be interested in it :

Green light up front, blue back on the beaglebone a ways.
Solid on the left, blinking on the right.

One more thing:

Thanks to all of you guys on the KNCMINER chat page.
Your assistance was vital.

Zum Wohl!

Suggestion: Figure out how to mine through Tor or similar anonymizing network

Remember, several people with early batch Avalons had their homes broken into and their units stolen.

Why take unnecessary risk?

Yeah mining through tor...no latency or connectivity issues there.  How about just not posting your IP, address, or order information....otherwise known as common sense.

Hi guys I have a Jupiter and have been around the forums a long while 1yr... new name under VPN.

OK how do you mine with a VPN? Easy get an old PC load it with PFsense and use openvpn to route all traffic through the VPN. Really any linux will do. Search engine skills required for this task yet not to hard to pull off. Can do the same trick with TOR using linux it's called a transparent anonymizing proxy < search that. TOR's own site has instructions how to set it up.

How to find the miner IP, log into your router 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 go to the DHCP page or the ARP table and find the IP. You can also use nmap with GUI like umit in ubuntu. Just 'sudo apt-get install umit' go into it (yes root) and type in the target box 192.168.0.* then quick detect, go!

My Jupiter won't run the .92 or .93 firmware it just causes CGminer to crash over and over. I've found .91 to be the most stable and fast avg. 460ghs@535 watts and guys get a meter so you can see when you are hashing, It's been a life saver. Using 50btc.com pool

I think the main problem we're all having is that KNC in their infinite wisdom spiked(maybe to harsh) almost every Jupiter with 1 lower grade unit you can see in the one I have 3 units that have "1" stickers on them and the HOT one thats causing issues has a "3". Our machines can only hash as fast as our worst unit right now. Other company sell by grade as KNC should start doing if they can't solve this with a firmware update.

P.S. Can someone post a cheat sheet on cgminer commands ur using? I'm not a linux noob just cgminer and this OS on Jupiter. Basics start, stop maybe add redundancy pools if KNC does not in FW .94

this is precisely what's happening to me. stick with 0.91 cause .92/.93 cause cgminer to restart very frequently

New firmware out...

Has anyone an idea why Jupiters and p2pool don't like eachother?
Mine is operated by a third person because I can't take care on it my own. But it's delivering only 300 GH/sec because cgminer takes often some thinging breaks. On other pools it works fine so far...

thanks for the info/pointer ckolivas !

edit: they've just released a new fiw version (.94) hopefully they have fixed that. 

[mininganon]

Firmware .94 is a WIN was having multi probs couldn't run .92-.93 etc... Now it seems solid at 470-480!! not to bad was hoping to have a full on half terrahash of power but this is nice considering I paid for a 350-400ghs machine?

I'm only using 535 watts, it spikes to 555w at CG start but then drops slow to settle at 535. Is this normal? I'm hearing people saying they're running 850watts?! I have a Corsair HX850 and the cores are at 44c to 35c. I KNOW this thing can push a LOT more.

Good job KNC but lets unleash this thing in the next firmware.

EDIT: FW .94 not winning anymore, It slow dies after a few hr.

Good to know, I had the same problems on Eligius.
