First Impressions - Mining-asics-technologies.com 250 MH/s Excaliber Miner

[Prelude]

Hard to believe that only this late in the game are manufacturers catching up to innosilicon's efficiency. I received 150mh/s worth of A2 machines in May, 10w/MH/s at the wall.

KNC (lol) are the only ones to have beaten innosilicon at the scrypt efficiency game. My Titanic with 2 dead dies is pulling 310 MH/s at 4.3w/MH/s at the wall.

not sure what you mean but I also own an A2 and it's : 23.53 watts per MH

your titanic is using: 13.87 watts per MH

The MAT machine is a little over 9 watts / MH

The MAT machine is the most efficient scrypt miner I know of on the market.

You're wrong. Which A2 do you own? At 23.53w it sounds like you have a Zeus miner.

1st batch 60MH/s: 610w @ wall, 63MH/s: 9.68W/MH/s @ wall (240v with Corsair 860 AXi)
2nd batch 90MH/s: 920w @ wall, 95.5MH/s: 9.63W/MH/s @ wall (240v with Corsair 860 AXi)
Titanic 310MH/s: 1290w @ wall, 310MH/s: 4.16W/MH/s @ wall (240v with Delta DPS-2000)

I just checked all 3 with a Kill-a-watt.

however Insilicon advertises 750W - here http://www.innosilicon.com/A2m.htm

1st batch 60MH/s: 610w @ wall, 63MH/s: 9.68W/MH/s @ wall (240v with Corsair 860 AXi)
2nd batch 90MH/s: 920w @ wall, 95.5MH/s: 9.63W/MH/s @ wall (240v with Corsair 860 AXi)

yes - you are correct - I was wrong - I had it confused with another machine - since my A2 is hosted at Gaw.

The A2 at 86 MH/s consumes 920W


thank you for pointing that out to me.



but what is all this about as it relates to KNC?

[Prelude]

Basically, KNC fucked a lot of people over with Neptunes and Titans. Every Titan that is shipped out seems to have at least one cube with issues out of four cubes. It's a complete mess. It only works properly on certain pools, multipools are pretty much non-functional. Each Neptune/Titan cube cube should have two PCI-e connectors, but only have one. No Titan shipped will ever ROI, I paid mine $10k and I'll be lucky to make half of it back.

Only thing it has going for it is it's very low power consumption per MH/s.

these machines do present a challenge to conventional pools/stratums.

for instance I run a pool of twenty coins and it overwhelms all vardiff settings. I've been doing lots of testing and have the machine running on a port right now with a fixed difficulty of 90,000 and I'm about to test even higher.

I'll get it sorted out , however the configuration of the mining software will allow me to break the boards down into multiple miners if I chose and mine multiple coins on different pools simultaneously.

That's pretty cool if  you're able to do that. In KNC's case the issue isn't with vardiff, it lies with the speed of flushing work (1000 times slower than it should). Makes the miner pretty much useless on coins with fast block times.

For all my scrypt ASICs I've found that 2048 is pretty much the minimum difficulty that works well. Generally, anything above 4096 isn't needed. 90000 is pretty hard-core, and really shouldn't be needed unless there's a big bug in the firmware. It doesn't matter in the long run of course, higher difficulty will only cause fluctuations of reported hash speed pool side, along with variance but given time it all equals out.

after tweaking my stratum I have the thing consistently running at 280 - 320 MH/s which is really nice



thunder2 & 3 are older zeus boxes

machine1 is a gaw miners war machine

machine2 is a zeus X6

and small is an X1

what's missing is ninja.big which is my gaw miners hosted A2 which has been down recently more than it's been up -

Pretty nice looking hash even without your ninja.big unit. Cool.

Kilo Hashes?

point your machine(s) at ghash.io and tell me what you get..

So how come you are the only one who seems to have received their miner, i am still waiting with no word from MAT???

well - I was order #2 - I think that has something to do with it.

Still would have expected more people to say they have received theirs :-(

I do know a guy in France who received his last week but he stays off he radar post wise.

there's good chatter on their facebook page for connecting with others...

Well i cant see anything recent on there which page are you looking at?

[The Minion]

Has anyone else received these besides the OP and the guy in France?

[johnp]

Has anyone else received these besides the OP and the guy in France?

I doubt it suspect NONE have been delivered

And you really think that lifeforcepools receive it? He is part of the scam...

hardly - I paid my money and have the wire transfer receipts from my bank to prove it just like everyone else. You must work for KNC.

[Zeta0S]

So still only one miner...Hmmmm

[lifeforcepools]

So still only one miner...Hmmmm

no - that's where you are wrong - I'm the only one who has let people know he has one. Do you have any idea why Tor network coins are so popular? - People like anonimity....

[Prelude]

Kilo Hashes?

Yeah, that's off. Should be MH/s.
