Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com

[plasmoske]

11th of Oct 2013. Day 1/early preorder/early paid order with hosting here. Still no login/details/access to pool.

ZZZ

130GH/s out of 550GH/s is better than 0GH/s out of 550GH/s

Didn't you get the memo?

Housing Centre burnt down  

Thanks for the update bitcoinorama of HF

@sbfree -- I feel your pain, this is total fucking bullshit the way this is going down. They "start shipping" on October 1, and 9 days later, they're not through the first two days of orders, miners are showing up in pieces, catching in fire, hashrates well below what was advertised, hosting in shambles. This is a fucking logistical trainwreck no matter how "fucking smart" these Swedes are according to Bitcoinorama. So much for being a beacon for the Bitcoin mining community. The best I can hope to do is to pass this butthurt on to some unsuspecting noob on eBay. This sucks ass!!!!!!!

Hey man, look on the bright side. We who bought these rigs get preference in the orders for the gen 2 ..so we get the honour of working the bugs out of those too

I repost the below as my standard reply to getting more ASIC units at this time ....ahem

Well I don't need another girlfriend..ie ...I'm still paying thru the nose for the ex-wife BFL (the skank took me for everything) ..the new girlfriend KNC seems spunky enough but she is kinda a flake on being on time...but then again I've heard she gives great GH.....as to Hashfast...well.....alas.....no $$$ no desire.....no hope on that...I'm tap'd out


endquote

sorry it is a truthful if painful analogy for me getting more stuff.....alas crap'd out $$$ wise humor aside...(not sure about will at this point either for another round on the merrygoround of ASIC purchases by the by)

OK just popped out and grabbed some 20cm fans to sit on top, i'll just let the results speak for themselves...for $20 fan!

Before - 528.4 Average/ 6% HW/ 1% Rejects
After - 545 Average /4% HW / 0.2% Rejects

Temps

No fan 55     1 min 56    3 mins 53   10 mins 51.5 (7% drop)
No fan 59    1 min 51    3 mins 47   10 mins 46 (22% drop)
No fan 57    1 min 48.5    3 mins 44   10 mins 43 (24.5% drop)
No fan 50    1 min 44    3 mins 41   10 mins 40 (20% drop)

Temps stabalised after the 10 min mark as I assume the max heat load had been reached

Note: I have only seen 1 core disable note the entire hour i've been watching! This is also a huge improvement.

On my second Jupiter the average hash also increase about 20Gh/s (540->560) and similar temp drops of 10-20% across all ASICs.

Could you up a pics of the miner in such conf? That way i'll be sure to understand correctly

[realtime]

0.93 on both, had 0.94 on them but found HW was higher.

Thanks appreciated

Which firmware are you on there dude? Seems to be working as well as any I've seen.

im on 0.94...
also, i just removed the case fans...and guess what>>>

peaking well over 300 gh/s now on 5s avg... about 1/4th the time, it fluxes a bit, but much higher avg, and lower temps as you see...

[plasmoske]

Wait. Remove case fans and it runs better? lol

[Phoenix1969]

Wait. Remove case fans and it runs better? lol

crazy, huh?... but i have a box fan right on it also,,,

[plasmoske]

Perhaps the intake fan is disrupting the air flow towards to the HSF?

I would interested to see a coloured smoke air flow test. To see where it travels through the case.

Me thinks the case needs some exhaust fans.

Did i invest in the wrong company? Hashfast babyjet will likely ship on the 30th of this month instead of the reported 20th because that is what they originally told me in an email before they updated their dates; however, for $7,100, about the price of a Jupiter, I could have gotten 400 gh/s overclocked to 540 gh/s + an upgrade kit, of $1,500, for 540 more overclocked gh/s. So, that means I would have had 1,080 th/s for $7,100 at the start of November. My order is ~2000 order , June 11th, "in progress" since Saturday or Sunday morning, and my ~2100 order, June 13th, just "paid." The only one way I would make a comparative ROI is if kncminer ships soon.

Come on KNCMINER, you need to ship soon.

T minus 4 days....

I still just showing paid..

This totally sucks, my ROI would have been a lot higher, especially since kncminer has my ~2000 order , June 11th, "in progress" since Saturday or Sunday morning, and my ~2100 order, June 13th, just "paid." The only way I am making a comparative ROI is if KNCMINER delivers soon. DAMN.

COME ON KNCMINER, YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE IT

Don't forget the MPP which will multiply your hashing power by 5x after 3 months if you're not getting the full ROI.  Beat that.

Not to mention a much more efficient chip, ie, lower power consumption.

me 340x order also still showing paid

I think KNC won't finish shipping batch #1 until the end of Oct.

if that

[cypherdoc]

Any company that is in the position that KNC finds itself is like a deer caught in your headlights.

They don't know what to do because the floor has just fallen out from underneath  them and now they will be just fighting to survive.

You'll be lucky to get any units by the end of October.

the catch is all this ASIC mnfg companies want you to take "most" of the risk ..ie they get paid weather they deliver or not...thus all look good when you pay the cash BFL and KNC till it actually comes to the point when they have to ship in "mass" out the door...in that they are pre-orders with no refund ..they then don't have any real incentive to get your stuff out the door ASAP..ie it increases the diff rate if they mine ...and/or employee and mass production costs are not a factor (look at BFL own sweet time)

so yeah hashfast was a possibility..but w/o paypal or cc protection from past performances on delivery by Avalon, BFL, TerraHash....and now looking at the difficulty of KNC....perhaps it will come to roost the same on hashfast as well ....regardless trying to guess the chumps from the champs before they produce (I mean even bfl had made fpga's).....in MASS is the real problem here...again hope hashfast works out..but not just gonna  pay on pre-orders anytime soon w/o cc or paypal protections....(now that I sit in the knc line waiting for equip and have no refund option anymore..this may also be moot...) anyway how the hell do you tell...and again I know hashfast has its guarantee but...quite frankly terrahash looked more then legit til Avalon bit them in the butt on chips...so again ...this all looks fine on paper ...but is lacking so far when the "rubber meets the road"...I just hope KNC is not my 2nd spin-out!

[arlekyn13]

Well, something happened, maybe a lack of parts (??) after KNC finished or almost finished day 2 orders (that were paid in a timely manner) cause nothing was shipped or marked "in progress" beyond that date. So maybe O'rama could enlighten us about their production troubles?
Question: if KNC doesn't have the possibility of manufacturing those orders that are only "paid", why not allowing to request refunds on them?

[demonmaestro]

hopefully they will start to get more out. I am suprised they havent gotten any of the mercury miners out. Hell they are only one chip. easy..... I had high hopes for them but i guess i was possibility wrong. we shall see. its not the 15th yet. Also knc has at least been putting miners out. alot better then waht bfl has. so there is no compairison there...period..

Just keep up the hard work KNC and get us our miners.

Do keep in mind i paid via CC/PAYPAL so i can get my money back if i have to. BUT i prefer not have to. I just want my miner.

[warhawk187]

Anyone know why cores are being disabled on my Saturn?! Its only running at ~190Gh/s...umm help? Power cycling? Should I take the case off? I'm using a 750W Gold PSU, should I use my spare 1050 XFX Platinum PSU?
