Alright, how do I find the the IP address?  I ran Wireshark but none of the IPs I try work.

Alright, how do I find the the IP address?  I ran Wireshark but none of the IPs I try work.  

Your home router should have a screen with all units visible -- showing MAC vs IP.

Windows has a "Network" screen -- which may show it.


try: arp -a
at a command prompt window in Windows.

ifconfig on any linux boxes will return the IP and other information.

ipconfig on any windows box -- at command line will show each units IP

There are several ip Scanners available on the net. I won't recommend one because I don't use them and I don't know what's "safe".

I am so disappointed with the switch to DHL. The very least they could of done was to give you the option to choose. I paid for UPS and expected UPS because of their timely express shipping.

My saturn was picked up on a Thursday by ups, I had it delivered on the following Tuesday and I live in Sweden about 250 km away from KNC. Not exactly "timely" IMO, I even asked before they started shipping if they had any other options for shipping but at the time they only offered ups and I didn't have time for local pickup.

UPS in Europe is most of the time a joke unless you live in a Large city, over in the US I have no doubt they are better than DHL since I think they have outsourced most of their deliveries over there. Here in Sweden at least it's the opposite where UPS are the ones contracting other companies and adding additional handling and sorting time, you can also forget about tracking your delivery once UPS hands it over to the local delivery company.

My shipment appears to be sitting in OH with the following status:

12    Clearance event    CINCINNATI HUB, OH - USA    4:48 AM

Under "Further Details":

The Clearance process for this shipment is on-going with additional details required for clearance

and under "Next Step":

The clearance process will continue once the additional details are provided for clearance

Is this something out of the ordinary, or do all international shipments to the US go through this?

I just hope it doesn't end up being seized by customs.

I am so disappointed with the switch to DHL. The very least they could of done was to give you the option to choose. I paid for UPS and expected UPS because of their timely express shipping. 1st my Saturn's status was changed to shipped on the 15th and it wasn't actually shipped until the 16th. Then I had to email customer support for my tracking that I didn't receive. Today on the 18th it is now stuck in the CINCINNATI HUB, OH - USA with the status "The Clearance process for this shipment is on-going with additional details required for clearance". After talking with DHL customer support they say it will take 3-5 days to be inspected before it is released. My projected delivery date is October 23rd. The final destination is East cost USA.

DHL is NOT the fastest option to ship our miners. And I'm pretty sure they are also the cheaper option. I wonder how much money KNC has saved using them. This just goes to show how a select few complainers can F*** UP things for the majority of others.  

That is a lot of lost mining time.  Probably another thing to consider when getting refunds.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah the ROI on everything is really poor now.  We'll probably see another jump to 360mil diff on October 25th.  It really makes a lot more sense to invest in BTC directly.  Too many ASIC's on the market and many more yet to come out along by too many people not doing their math homework.

DHL would be a good company to buy and remodel it into a shipping company.  Maybe some BTC venture capitalist would be interested.

Good one     DHL is the worlds biggest shipping company, close to 0.5 million employees. I suggest that brave BTC venture capitalist try with something smaller like UPS or FedEx  

Yes, I'm aware, thank you for the Wikipedia link.  "This would be a good place to start an X business" is a colloquialism in certain parts of the world used as a term of derision towards a company or business, the comment was tongue in cheek.  Tongue in cheek is also colloquial; my tongue was not actually in my cheek at the time of typing.  

DHL very well may be a better choice for a lot of countries outside the US, when compared to UPS.  The DHL presence in the US does not include the same degree of last mile infrastructure or other necessities for competitive shipping in all cases here.  The root problem is US Customs of course, but coupled with the lack of DHL assets in this country, it's a double shit sandwich (not an actual a sandwich made of animal dung, fyi).

100GH/s Mercury.  Tried to save on power supplies, bought two 360watt 12vdc supplies and a BBB 5 volt wall wart then added a 4 pin Molex and brought in the 12vdc for the intake fans, which I found are powered by the 4pin Molex on the controller board and that 12 vdc isn't common with the PCIE 12vdc.

Fired it up this morning and got lots of cores disabling.  Thought perhaps if I add the second 12v supply in parallel, did that, same errors.  Shut it down, went back to a single 12v supply and added two tantalum capacitors.

It's back up again now about an hour.  Seems to be settling in between 75-78GH/s.

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/18XUsmKnuPmGdNaPrtpwSr11iAXFUdFUys

Okay, I'll need to spring for a decent power supply.  If it turns out the hardware errors an disabled cores don't improve, I'll go back to this supply and put the new in my main machine who's supply fan sounds just a little loose as the home cools with the season.

I have yet to try the 0.96 firmware.  Also, I have the where with all to adjust the 12V in so I might try lowering that reducing the power and see if any cores enable.

Lowered the input voltage from 12.2v to 11.9v.  I note that I have a number of digital voltmeters but they do not agree entirely.  It had been set for 12.05v with one, then I added an inexpensive 2 wire digital display so I could tell if ever there were a voltage down issue.  The start before adjust could have been 12.2 or 12.05, but I adjusted it down from 12.2 to 11.9.  Many cores were re-enabled, then some disabled again shortly.  Now after some 10  minutes or so my total power usage as shown by BertMod is up 6 watts to 100 from 94 watts, my total cores are better on 3 of the 4 dies but worse on 1, hashrate up to 96.64GH/s avg reported by cgminer.   Must try this lowering voltage thing again.

Just lowered it again at 5PM.  I use firefox but needed to go to IE for BertMod.  Just tried Chrome.  Suddenly I got an advertisement over my computer speakers for a phone service and there's nothing displayed!?

Anyway, with the lowering of an additional 200 millivolts there is no corresponding slew of re-enabling cores.  .....wait, spoke too soon, 5 cores just enabled.

Anyways I'll stick to firmware 0.96.
From the beginning I wanted to mine on Eligius and with firmware 0.90 to 0.95 I had the flushwork issue.
It seems that 0.96 solved that issue; it's been 24 hours that I'm mining on Eligius.

Aren't you afraid about humidity when it's raining ?

Interesting.  It was around mid-90's.  The top is off and I have two additional small fans pointed at the voltage modules.  For the heck of it I placed a magazine inside taking the air pushed by the in fans and forced it down on the BBB and controller board.  The realtime hashrate went up to 109.  I removed the magazine and it dropped to the 70's and was falling when I put the magazine back.

yep, nothin' beats massive airflow,

[demonmaestro]

WTF

All
The factory produced 280 boxes yesterday. This was the result of a few failures which have now been addressed
We will be back to full production on monday and expect to get back to shipping over 400 a day from monday onwards
 
We will keep you updated as we finsih our queue in the next few days

Hold on a second i thought they said they were open on the weekends.....

You are a liar, you have no damn sources, you haven't a bloody clue where in Sweden the facility is.

Fact - Factory is open weekends - the damn Asics were delivered on a Sunday by Johan on a commercial flight, and DHL with a hand courier. 24 hours later the first prototype at full speed was filmed working.

Fact - the factory does not close at 10pm or we wouldn't have spent several days in there 24 hours around the clock.

Fact - you talk out of your arse, and when called upon started your own self-moderated thread bashing KnC for all their hard work and delete comments you don't agree with.

Fun with you has to stop now. Ciao.

So why do we have to wait till monday?

Wish I had better access to it so I could put an IR meter to use.  I have some stick-on heatsinks left over from USB BEs.

I see the 0.96 isn't available in News yet.
