Hi,

I have 12 KNC Miner Neptunes.  I'm wondering a couple of things.

1) Can they still mine even though KNC went bust and you can't access the page to tweak them etc.

2) In my slushpool it shows the workers as being OFF.  How can I get them working again?

Thanks
Tony

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Have you tried the manual?

Mine @ pools that pay Tx fees & don't mine empty blocks :: kanopool :: ckpool ::
Should bitmain create LPM for all models?

In addition to biffa's reading the manual comment. These things are so slow that many pools might not show them working because of minimum difficulty they might never find a share at 660GH. I don't know what difficulty slush starts at and how low they go to.

Okay lets see 660gh x 12 = 7920 gh or 7.920th. at about  20000 watts



and a tweaked s9 using brains software will do  8th at about 670 watts

so op WTF are you thinking?

you want to spend 20,000 watts an hour  vs 670 watts an hour.

For what possible reason?

Free power is fine but if you have free power buy some s9's and run them instead.

If you have 20,000 watts an hour to burn.

Buy 2 s9's and run them at 14th each at 1300 watts = 28000th for 2600 watts.

I have s9's for you if you are USA  based. Grin

Sure, they will work. And since the admin page is on the controller/beaglebone you can set the speeds. But really, what is the point: By modern standards they are quite slow. Maybe solo mine with them and see if you can hit a block.

Because as Phil said above, the power draw is insane by today's standards.
You can sell them for $5 to $10 each cube to people who want to play and get something faster that pulls 1/20th the power.

And that's 12 points of failure, a bunch of power supplies, etc.
At some point it's just not worth it.
