it seems so but I didn't try myself since I've my machine hosted in a colo distant from my home and I prefer to do this kind of thing "face to face"

hi jelin

I won't be able to test it this morning (maybe tomorrow) but it seem that if you have a lot of diabled core 0.96  http://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/enablecores.bin (see support page for instaructions) should help.

I do not have my miner
I wait it back from knc

rigth you told me. sorry I forgot. I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to apply the new firmware

Does disabled cores get re-enabled over time or does it mean that once they are disabled, we will need to install the enablecores.bin to turn them back on again?

i see them get re-enabled, but not sure if this is for all miners, i've heard of some locking and thats when this bin file comes into play.

[derekleong75]

I havent gotten bertmod installed but Im running 0.96.
Just hope they get re-enabled.  Or some new FW that doesn't disable them when > 10 HW errors.
The threshold should be more than 10 IMHO.

Looking at the rise in the bitcoin exchange rate I cant help but wonder if people are seeing that mining won't break even, or is unaffordable and are buying instead to a greater extent?

Maybe the miners arent selling.  Supply vs demand.

Possibly. Saving up for another round of nail biting on the next gen of rigs? lmao

thanks derek,

now what about this:


Mining Status
CGMiner Status   Running (Connect to CGMiner API failed)

Just make sure that the CGminer remote management is enabled.  It should update properly in a while.  Best real time stats is to always SSH into the box and do a "screen -r" and look at the display.

They are re-enabling.  That is good.  But some cores and being disabled back again after a while.

Does anyone know if the cgminer output is piped to some log somewhere?

so after applying 0.96 the die with all 48 cores disabled have all cores enabled back ?

you should check this file /config/asic_test in your miner or just run asic_status.pl from bermod
to find out the cores state


edit: did you notice any difference in terms of performance?

DHL shipped on Thursday morning from Sweden
got to me in NY this Friday afternoon

a little more than 24 hours. Im VERY impressed. I didnt expect it for another week.
BUT - the fan on the heatsink is floating around. It seemed to have detached. Im hoping it isnt broken off.

Its a Mercury and Im confused why they gave the Mercury (or at least the early builds) the HUGE cases.
Im assuming its the same chassis as the Jupiters, and they just didnt bother making a smaller one. At least 3/4 of the case isn't needed. But its a non-issue I suppose.


Also a bit disappointed that they didnt give molex/PCIE adapters with the machine like I got from BFL. I didnt expect it, but it would've been nice. This is just a nit pick of mine.

You have got to be kidding me!! My Saturn was shipped on Wednesday and it is still waiting to be cleared at DHL and the earliest I will see it is next week on the 23rd!! It is also East cost USA. Do you mind posting your tracking log?
