HELLO ALL YOU LUCKY KNC MINERS..... (well at least those that have their units)


if you all could, for the rest of us UNLUCKY NEGLECTED KNC MINERS....let us know what was your order number/pay date, and date unit received....it would help us gauge where the shipping queue currently stands.

the networking page attempt(s) crash the miner
Huh

at some point you just have to call someone with an ounce of IT skills.  You are all over the place tripping on yourself

I've got news for ya... I've had a few savvy IT peeps trying to get the miner just to run... using teamviewer & other interfaces....  Ya know who got it to run...?
I did...    from info shared in here, bit by bit......  amen

What does KnC support say?

Classic, instant classic

I'm thinking of buying 2x 140mm fans and just put them with cables ties on the outside of the case at the rear (exhaust side), so they can help a little bit with removing the hot air.

Thermalright TY 143 look nice and coupled with a fan controller you can run them quiet and slow or noisy and fast.

L152 mm x H140 mm x W26.5 mm
Fan Weight : 170g
Fan Speed : 600 - 2500 rpm (PWM)
Sound Level : 21 - 45 dB(A)
Airflow : 31.4 - 130.0 CFM

Or one can get a more advanced one with a display and thermal probes = monitor the temps inside the case directly

[eestimees]

anybody thinking of making a custom case for psu + saturn things?

What's the going price for a KNC Juipter in hand ?  

you selling or buying? 

Considering selling.

shouldnt have a problem getting your money back..  put up a quick auction and location since people probably want to know how soon they can get it

Doesn't look like the expensive miners are selling on ebay...  might have to list it on the forum?   I'd prolly take face value right now.

right now the value feels LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE.......

you're dead in the water given HashFast pricing.

Wonder what date the first Mercury will ship.   

What was the 1st date they were available? That's why they may not be shipping now.

Understood.  I wonder none the less.

Interestingly, there was apparently a 28xx order, date 28 June, not shipped so perhaps picked up, French, listed on the thread KNC list of orders October delivery, a Saturn.  I bought my Mercury on July 3 and I think they had been available a few days already at that time so Mercurys might start shipping soon!

You're also dead in the water given the fact that they frequently don't work well. Imagine the grief you'd get when a fault emerged or a cap blew?

paid shill notwithstanding, let's see how it all rolls out shall we?  
First batch babyjets $5,600 @ 400Gh suppose to ship in 10 days right?

Do you think any of those customers will be able to sell them for more when they get them?


Even with my higher saturn to jupiter upgrade pricing (plus shipping), I paid $7,466 for 520 Gh   (stable, I posted a hundred times proof already)

So I got my miner 11 days earlier than the first babyjet is suppose to deliver and I paid just 35 cents more per Gh for that headstart.

$14.35 vs $14 of the babyjet  ($5,600 / 400 )  that's without shipping since I have no idea what that would be

like i said before, i'm not being paid anymore.

as far as selling BJ's, i don't think anyone will want to as i doubt HF will have all the same problems that KNC is having.  i've already verified that the HF shipping packaging will be far superior to what i've seen for the KNC's.  the problem with KNC's packaging is that they skimped on the internal foam encasing blocks leaving a gaping 12.5 inches unsupported and unprotected central exposure to the unit.  even Avalon did it better; they only left 5.5 inches of exposure.

you're assuming of course that HF won't surprise to the upside in hashrate as well. 

from what i'm hearing 500 GH/s should be easy and more altho we'll have to see.

[DPoS]

total dead on how bad KNC packed, shipped and planned their logistics and everything.  

even with their rush to market, they could of easily done those things 10 times better..  I won't talk of their hosting since that was a crackpot roll out as well

[arousedrhino]

Wow so much for 1 day shipping. Why didn't KNC give us an option to pay more for 1 day shipping. UPS express saver is now going to hold me package over the weekend. Delivery is expected on Monday which is 4 business days from when it shipped on Wednesday. Thry orignally said Friday.

Its bullshit that they said 1 day in the check out but then shipped it via a 3 day UPS mail with no saturday delivery. It should have said 3 day shipping in the checkout process.

I'm in the same boat.  Although I'm secretly hoping it will at least make it to the UPS facility near my location tomorrow. Then maybe I can pick it up from them on late Friday/early Saturday.

I called UPS and asked that they told me my center was not open on Saturday so its not an option for me. The whole Next Day shipping thing is really deceiving, it should say 1-3 days and list the UPS shipping method. If that doesn't change this will be my first and last KNC miner, gotta vote with your wallet.

The pre-installed fans at the front of the case are intake fans?!  Are you sure?  That would be very poor design if true.  I assumed they were exhaust fans.

But yes, I think it's an excellent idea to install fans on both ends of the case in a push-pull configuration.

[cypherdoc]

does anyone know who KNC chose to do their packaging and assembling?

Had the same situation last week end.  The miner arrived at my home town early Saturday morning, unfortunately according to the international customer service rep I couldn't pick it up any time on Saturday because it hadn't been sorted yet.  Definitely worth a call though just in case.  Sucks watching it sit there for over 48 hrs hah.

he says received = no, or non since he is French. No idea where KnC is on their shipping queue. It's really sad how uncommunicative they are and how we have to beg each other for information to figure out what the hell is going on. Sad thing is I had to explain to my wife how this "investment" is not going to work out. At least she was cool about it.

[timmmers]

That guy standing doing nothing. Whoever was there. Bitcoinorama was dragged into packing for a while. As my granny used to say, you can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear. They could only use what they had available. Sadly.

I think they trusted the couriers to be better at their job. Ironically we could say the same of them 

[DPoS]

does anyone know who KNC chose to do their packaging and assembling?

they did it themselves... they even had Bitcoinorama slapping some together

ya, what timmers said

Yes, intake. I think it is better that they are intake as there are no other fans to supply fresh air into the case. Adding a second set on the other end to exhaust will probably improve the airflow and the temps:

I saw the potential for misinterpretation of his original post which I had arrived at after seeing its congrats reply.  Thought it could go either way so took it as saying reception.  So, he was just posting that his order was placed.  I understand.  

I still wonder when the first Merc will ship.  I've a vested interest.
