ahhh I have got 8/board.) good or bad?

[Nemo1024]

Is that also a picture of the cap that's destined to blow? 

[soapmodem]

Ok so finally my order is shipped 8xx day 2 payment, and it will take only 11 days to arrive ..i am so royally, majorly and monumentally screwed .....

Man, where do you live.. Antarctica? (Or were you joking?)

[Searing]

Why only 4 VRM's on each board now  Huh
How many VRM's do you guys have on your boards?


what exactly is that?
any photos to see it/

The Voltage Regulator Modules.  The 8 (or 4) silver  rectangular modules around the ASIC that get VERY hot. Initially were 8 now only 4. Did KnC explain why already? I might have missed it.

no but my guess is just that .they we're not needed and they did get "hot"

just a guess thou

@Searing: Don't loose hope. It'll look brighter next spring once the dust has settled down and difficulty plateaued.

well this calc that says 80% the next month don't help if the 825gh of stuff from KNC does not arrive by nov 1st according to that calc' guess I won't make ROI.

but yeah it has to plateau right (yeah right about the time my equip is toast and I have no b*lls nor drive to play asic miner buyer again heh

Applied to VRMs

EDIT: By the way, when talking about diff increase, remember that KnC equipment is also contributing. So if your equipment hasn't got delivered yet, then the difficulty will be proportionally lower. Don't put too much store by all those calcs.

I'll keep that in mind but I'm quite the "savant" on my ability to be 'incorrect" (worse case) on this ASIC MINER stuff since BFL and April (hey its a gift)

so between my track record and the calc's its a hard choice imho

in which area of order numbers we are currently? thank you!

I HAVE 8 I THINK AT MY BOARD

[nightengale]

I'm thinking they're not going to be able to clear out the entire order queue in 3.5 business days as they scramble to fix firmware and hosting at the same time.

And before -redacted- accuses me of trolling, my order number is in the 26XX range, and even though I'm not in the Day 1/2 club, I still think I'm entitled to get my order at least a month before the November orders go out, with their 10% BTC discount and all.

For some reason people thought the "show" would be over when they finished the product. KnC should start offering refunds if they continue to *fail* to keep their promises, meanwhile flooding the market with a significantly cheaper product a month later.

This is getting ridiculous folks.

[Xialla]

meeeh, KNC/Bitcoinorama, could you please clarify this?

Here you go, 24 unproductive hours with a Jupiter on p2pool  (.93 firmware)

Hmm calculation time on your picture
Elapsed = 96511s
Accepted = 7963136 1diff shares
Rejected = 166912 1diff shares
Hardware errors = 657472 1diff nonces

So Accepted hash rate is 2^32 * Accepted / Elapsed
354.4GH/s

Full hash rate (Accepted + Rejected) is 2^32 * (Accepted + Rejected) / Elapsed
361.8GH/s

Only one minor comment on those - you can only count the Rejected in the device GH/s if KnC hasn't fucked with the submit_nonce() code and also you can verify that by seeing why the shares were Rejected.
As far as I know there's been no sign of the GPL3 code as should have been given to anyone with a KnC who asks for it ... and it must have all versions of the code asked for.

Gee ... I wonder if I'll have another Kano vs GitSyncom ... what'll it be called this time ... Kano vs KFC
Nom nom.

Anyway, now for the fun numbers there ...
Hardware % = Hardware / (Accepted + Rejected + Hardware)
7.48%
which, BTW, is 29.3GH/s of hardware errors

Well at least it's less than the original 16% when they were boasting about how good it was ... lolololol

Now ... what are these things supposed to be doing?

I'm sure I saw them boasting in that video how they were doing 500GH ... how did it that boasting go ... ?
"... Back in May we promised you 250 ... well it's not 250
Then we upped it to 300 ... it's not 300
In June we said 350. We published that on the web site ... it's not 350 (tears paper in half)
In August we said 400 ... well it's not 400 (screws up the page and throws it on the floor)
We have a 500 machine here for you today and as evidence of the 500 machine we have a laptop in front of us running a full copy of cgminer.
We can see here that we are actually achieving, on average, over 500
In fact the theoretical limit is 576+
576 gigahashes a second and it's fully working and we start shipping today ..."

Interesting definition of "fully working" ...

So do you feel like telling them to go fuck themselves about the red comments for your hardware?

I will add they failed to see that it wasn't even showing 500GH/s on the screen as I pointed out here:
https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=170332.msg3276727#msg3276727

But of course the most important point being firstly that they seem to think that cgminer showing that on the screen is all the proof they needed.
Yay cgminer

Pity they wrote the driver and fucked up cgminer's reputation ... well ... we didn't have anything to do with their driver code.

thank you! unfortunately KnC is not very transparent with order/payment date! :/

maybe if you put aluminium Heatsink For Motherboard DDR VGA RAM Memory IC Chipset Cooler W

is better does anyone know ?

This is probably a really dumb question but there is no way presently to run any other miner on KNC units but the cgminer they include....(man that's dumb)

I gather this is so or i'd see a lot more people jumping from their software?

anyway heard author of bfgminer is gonna make a version wonder if it will be part of in house project or stand alone with laptop etc

well my only hope for the heat problem is my "Minnesota basement" ie if that won't cure the heat problem or improve gh I don' tknow what else you could do

well then someone needs to design a better fan/heatsink combo imho

if no change when cooling in the bsmt I guess that will tell us something too

[AFox]

I'm beginning to think that they setup a Mercury instead of a Jupiter....
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/13tPxnba6GeZEM1c7494nYtHwSHd3HzfMB



This is a hosted Jupiter that came online today.  Has anyone seen a Jupiter with 3 bad boards modules?

Do not use Eligius, I had the same problems. The miner doesn't flush the old work when asked and continues to submit them to the pool.
It seems P2Pool is also impacted.
