Man you are getting on my nerves. I tried to explain it to you before but you just don't want to get it.
Those are in no way "crazy demands". They are economically correct in every way.
I do not want a refund on my orders, neither do I want btc or money from them now. So basically I do not want to touch any money they have made until now or will mine themselves in the future.
But you just don't seem to get it. So here it is in numbers for you:
What I lost since my order was not shipped in September and is not until today: let's say 10,5 btc
What I paid them: 7k dollar    
What it cost them: (with R&D and production cost) for the Sept/Oct orders  I would estimate 2,5k$ max.
With November included: 1,8k$ max.
These are rough estimates and they depend strongly on the amount sold, I took the conservative approach with around 1000 Jupiter orders for Sept/Oct. IRL their cost would be more around 800-1000$ at most.
So when I say I want a voucher for every unit delivered late and we estimate the price of next gen to be around the same as november unit prices: 5k
they would still make 2,5k-1,8k = 700 Dollars profit of those units.
Please stop posting if you have no idea what you are talking about.

They basically said that they will start shipping on the last day of September. Every asic company says they ship on the last day of their stated month. Hashfast, Cointerra, Bitfury. They all ship on the last day of their stated month, which basically is the first few days of the next month. You are a bad customer. You won't get what you ask because I am a nicer person and you are not. face facts.

Bah!
Just shut up and read the last posts before you spout such bullshit. Also, those are not the facts, are they? They did not ship in September, they stated in front of witnesses that you would have your september order in hand in September and I am in Germany, that is a 1 day delivery.

But hey, why argue with facts when you can just spout bs all over the place?

using .92/.93 lead to very frequent cgminer restart. something like a restart every 30-50secs.

I can corfirm the restarts but not the interval at my Saturn running 0.93.
It looks like mine restarts (cgminer) 1-2x per hour.
This is really annoying, as the system seems to startup at slow hashing rate (80GH ?) and takes
some minutes to get up to full speed.

Anyone have a hint where to find the logfiles on their Unix?

Anyone tried to setup ssh public-key authentication by creating a /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys (chmod 600)?
It's not working for me.

Ralf / trepex

Maybe '/etc/dropbear' is the wrong location.
Have a look at /etc/init.d/dropbear, there you can find the ssh config in the form of arguments. (at least it's the default location)

What about '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' ?
btw: chmod 600 for user root or for the user running cgminer ?

If they have not removed key-login from the source, it should work if configured correctly:

"Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key authentication"

why you want to use cheap PSU with device, which cost thousands of dollars and any failure of PSU cost more, then PSU itself?

ok tell me good psu

Seasonic or Corsair, gold or platinum

For mercury, saturn, or jupiter?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139044

Trust my recommended psu rather than that other guys.

mine gets a 9.6 on techowerup review and his gets a 9.1

Payment date?

Ordered 6/9 - Paid 6/10

This is infuriating. As a 2nd day hosting customer, I'm feeling screwed over.

  My orders are:
29x Paid June 03 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ shipping per instructions (hosting wasn't available))
86x Paid June 04 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting)
86x Paid June 04 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting)
490x Paid July 31 - 1 jupiter (paid w/ hosting, full-priced Nov. batch)
490x Paid July 31 - hosting for 4 jupiters
731x (was 29x) (order shifted due to shipping refund)

All orders showing 'paid' status.

I emailed them four days ago asking for a status update. crickets.

Those files are not persistant across reboot/fw update

Just got my Jupiter 90 minutes ago. (15 minutes after I sent KnC a letter requesting compensation or refund. I didn't know it was shipped, didn't get email from UPS.)

I'm really exited that it's hashing, but on the other hand I'm still not happy, that I got it just today. I was #30 on the pre-order queue.

Anyway, still playing with the miner, so far it's hashing at an avarage of 485 Gh/s. Should go higher, we'll see.
One of the case fans didn't work at delivery, I had to adjust the fan connector, but it's ok now.

The directory /etc/dropbear did exist already, so I did assume that's the correct one.
(This works on OpenWRT devices.)

I did not spot any special config directory in the startup script.

I meant "chmod 600 /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys" running as root. I created that file manually (using vi).

Update: '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' works. I did not check if this will be permanent.

No restarts on my Saturn running 0.92 or 0.93. Only reboots were updating firmware and had the miner since Sat.

Hello, anyone with hosting already hashing?

[dwdoc]

Anotherhost in stockholm is hashing. They use the Corsair HX850 PSU which seems to be stable except when I try to downgrade firmware to .90 at which point Jupiter becomes unstable.

One of 3 of my 1-500 Jupiters is still not ready. They think it might be delayed since it was an upgrade from a Saturn even though KnC stated we would not lose our queue position if we upgraded.  

[trepex]

No restarts on my Saturn running 0.92 or 0.93. Only reboots were updating firmware and had the miner since Sat.

No restarts of the miner or no restarts of the cgminer process itself?
You only see the cgminer restarts by logging in via SSH I think.
