0.97 also shows a continuous drop of hashrate for me from 500 to 470 (3 hour average eligius).

Actually.. it doesn't seem to be coming back in any previous firmware. Last value was 450 and that's where it stayed. I read compatible reports on KNC's forum. I fear 0.97 might damage bad Jupiters... Careful upgrading yours.

I have a similar issue. It was running fine up until I tried 0.97, then I went from 530 to 470 (520 reported in cgminer but tons of hw errors). Going back to older fws and I still have tons of errors!

The "firmwares" are arbitrary patches applied. I think KNC should provide some baseline fw that resets everything to a known state. Anyone talked to KNC regarding going backwards in FW revisions?

Any tips how solve the random miner stoping / freezing after 30-60min ? Pleseeee? It doesn't manke sense waisting more electricity then you mine back   + a fact .97 decrease the speed from 100 to a 1.7Ghas

knc released 0.96.1 saying that it will fix cgminer stopping after 30min running, give it a try

Alongside the list of firmwares available for download and installation, I'd like to see a list of changes each firmware has compared to the previous.  I could then decide if what the upgrade offers is in my interest to apply or skip if it addresses a problem I'm not experiencing.

I've been asking a detailed changelog for each released fw since forever. Eventually they'll release those info.

I'm noticing an absence of HashFast Trolls in this thread for some reason.  What happened cypherdoc?

 

No 'Orama, no need for balance

concerning the changelogs, you could compare code on https://github.com/KnCMiner to get a clue what has been changed - but for sure it's not the same like a simple changelog you read in short time.

After reading yesterday's reports about 0.97 I was really close to upgrade - was just too tired in the evening and not in the mood to deal with possible issues.
Meanwhile I'm quite happy I'm still on 0.95.

UPDATE YOUR MINER TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE

Somehow I'm not sure how to rate KnCMiner's software development and quality assurance in general, as it seems they do neither proper testing, nor understand the root causes of issues since each time there's one solved, but another appears..
I'm happy they're better in hw development, otherwise Jupiter would hash with 290GH/s only while consuming 1kW, I guess 

Honestly I'm getting more and more disappointed about this.
Especially when considering that cgminer's devs could have prevented it very very likely, but KnCMiner was so self confident they will do it better, cheaper, faster (?!).

I do not like to think about the difference in mined coins until now.

I haven't had the issue of hashrate dropping on 0.97 yet. Running for more then 12 hours.

At 96.1 the speed is only 55Ghas

Well, you mined fewer coins, but so did everyone else using the same software, so proportionally you have no loss.

Those of us hosted customers, who got skipped in the queue, and are still waiting for our miners to get deployed, however....

i think this( cheaper) was their only concern. faster & better are non-existent terms with these guys - confidence - bucketsfull

im now on .96.1 - WU is below 8000 again - GH/s is slowly climbing back to 520 - see whats up in a few hrs

KNC GUI & puTTy both show me at 541 all day - BTCG shows 480-500 most of the day.

am i missing something?

Yes you are. Stop measuring speeds at cgminer or go through Kano's posts for how to get the hashrate numbers using the hardware error numbers and so on.

It's really annoying all these people posting meaningless hashrates...

I've to admit that hosted miners are suffering way more (but they got some BTC compensation as far as I know).
However difference in mined coins was meant in regards of total amount in the wallet, not in relation to the network or hosted customers or sth else.

Yes, I'm happy with my device at 540+ (shown by pool), however it could even be a little better with the help of cgminer devs I assume - and that's all I like to point out in regards to GH/s and hw-errors concerning my quoted statement.

i think it is even easier, look at cgminer output (GH/s), then go to your pool server stats and look at that hash rate and if they are the same, you are doing very well, if they are not even close then you have a problem.

Except the pool number jumps around. I saw a difference of 20 within two minutes at the pool. Average hashrate at the status screen barely moved. I do have 19% HW errors on 9.7 though.

I WANT MY MINER NOW DAMN IT.

What exactly does Cypherdoc "balance"? Maybe if this was a KNC vs Hashfast thread, then...maybe.
But. It's. Not.
At least he's more articulate than Avenger and has ulterior motive going for him. I will give him that.

Fiatkiller, when other KNC Saturn owners are reporting 260GH/s-275GH/s at the server(and on CGminer), while my Saturn reports 215-235GH/s max, I feel that it has something to do with that high error rate our Saturns suffer from.

This is new. Automated replies...

Just sent the following e-mail about my hosted order:

Good day.

Two more days have passed since the last reply.

I want to know the exact state of your data centre that I paid $1400 to use. I can deduce from reported shipments that you stopped adding new equipment to your data centre on or after the 11th of October. Yet, no existing hosted customers report any significant outages. Are you over capacity?

I know of several people who were after me in the order queue and who got their miner equipment shipped on the 22nd of October, so that it is the date that I am starting to count my losses from, and, as this is a business to business operation, I expect a per-day compensation fines (dagsbøter) to be paid from the 22nd and until such time as my equipment is on-line and operational at the expected performance level.

The size of the fine for a Saturn is calculated to be BTC 0.469 per day until the next difficulty change on the 26th of October, and BTC 0.33 after that. Further fines will be calculated based on the actual difficulty settings.

Best regards,

And almost immediately got the following automated reply:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting KnCMiner. This is an automated reply to confirm that we have received your inquiry.

We'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns and will make every effort to get back to you as quickly as possible.

so sorry to be so annoying.... douche!

even more annoying is unhelpful scolding of people asking legitimate questions!

didnt your mother teach you if you have nothing useful to contribute, to keep it shut?

with an attitude like yours maybe you should start an ASIC company...

now about them GH's....

Do i need to post the same shit again to get a decent reply??
