just a little nugget of info from Orama would be nice. I have arrived, everything looks good, no info yet etc.
Actually better still, a little nugget from KNC would be better considering the last BIg news we got was on the 26th which was basically telling us we could no longer ask for refunds
 (The big news is that all the production orders that are due for delivery before October 15th have now been confirmed with the factory for final assembly and our production schedule is now locked. As such, we are not able to make any more changes)

Orama seems on line now (23:02 CET):

Occam's Razor... KNC is saying nothing and showing no assembly because... wait for it...


They have nothing to show.

All other speculation is a waste of time and pixels.

Btw, I did no say this to troll this thread.  I have a small order with KNC and do expect them to deliver.  But just not anytime soon.

I just find some posts so incredibly annoying... "I think they'll deliver 10 times the hashing power plus a scrypt miner AND a Ferrari" and "They have run off to Monaco and gambled away all of our preorder money".

Ok, I'm exaggerating, but you get my point.  There is no reason to think anything else than this... the simplest explanation is usually the correct answer.

Problem with that is there is more than one simple solution. Another, equally likely in my mind, is that they are behind schedule but got all hands on deck building the bitch and simply aren't updating until they have something to say.

I was under the impression that their office and production facility are separate, so this could EASILY be the case.

I think both the best and worst case scenarios are a bit over the top. My "bet" if you will is that they are going to start shipping on monday, and be one or two days behind from there.

The only thing we're sure of is that we don't know and no-one is keen to tell us. The last time information was this hard to get there was an enigma machine involved.

the world is mostly complex, those white/black statements are intended to point to certain characteristics or mosaics of the whole picture I'd say - nothing to take granted and as the only truth for sure

..and you have to admit, when there would be no post in here from 26th till shipping, it would be quite boring

Orama seems on line now (23:02 CET):

https://asktom.cf/index.php?action=profile;u=104810
I'm sure he just logged in because someone told him his facebook profile photo had been posted  Grin

Which I have to say, has lasted a lot longer than the Phoenix1969 baby photo's I posted yesterday. I guess I'll just have to keep those in my wallet, next to my tin foil hat...

Lol, I admit that it was probably your post that pushed me over the edge today.  But I did take your statement with a grain of salt.

But still, many other posts have wandered down the fairy tale trail to the land of make-believe of unicorns and 600GH/s machines.  And to those folks I say... Put down the bong!  The best you're likely to get is 400GH/s in two to four weeks.

It's just exhausting, this thread.  It's the first thing I check when I wake up (after pool stats).  And I'm only checking for REAL news.  And instead, we get 8 pages of new/old FUD and fantasy.  And that's a complete downer.

Can we all agree, when there is some REAL news to report, that someone will start a new thread and we can all let this one die?

would be a good idea, if you do not read all those pages for fun on a regular basis, it's quite annoying
link to this new thread(s) can be posted in here
or maybe someone is willing to moderate a 'KnC news thread' where only news are posted and everything else will be deleted asap ?

For those who want to stay on topic and on hardware, has anyone thought about plugging a usb wifi dongle into their miner, so they have backup wifi as well as ethernet connection?

A little googling seems to suggest it should work

http://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone/wifi
http://embeddedprogrammer.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/beaglebone-using-usb-wifi-dongle-to.html

but I have slight trepidation I plug one in and the miner borks itself.

Any thoughts?

The USB port has been either removed or disconnected from the board they're using.  It was causing problems, or so I was told by customer service a few weeks back.

Really? Bummer, I didn't know that.

So is it possible to use, say, an unmanaged switch with ethernet connection plugged in, but also to convert a backup wifi signal to an ethernet cable that could also go into the switch? That way, should be possible to have two separate sources of web connection, in case one goes down? I should really have looked into this sooner, but figured the USB would be useable for wifi.

Hi,

We would like to inform you that we have decided to remove the USB connector on the boards due to a safety concern with the power supplied via some USB devices. There was a potential for the boards to get damaged if a USB device with power was connected.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

Med vänlig hälsning  |  Best regards
