Just gonna put this out there, any jupiter or saturn owners want to sell me one of their hashing boards? i have a mercury and want to turn it into a saturn. some quick cash for you! give me a shout!

HAaaaaa....Yeah!...I'm lookin' at my sats, wanting boards now toooooooo!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get a couple of reasonably priced (considering delays and loss of BTC waiting for slow shipments) so we could turn Saturns to Jupiters.

Sadly don't see any of that happening, nor do I see Sam compensating people who STILL are waiting for miners.

What's the highest consistent hash rate people have achieved on Mercury/Saturn/Jupiter?

Respond with your model/hash rate/Firmware

Feel free to add commentary on anything else you think boosted your rate


Mine:

Saturn/279/0.95

Like I said before, hitting their FB page will get their attention, and everyone else's who may consider a purchase. An extra module would probably set them about level though, make up for the losses espcially "hosted" units..can't call a pile of components hosted really IMO though.

I've just created a kncminer branch on my github and have imported their most current code and built my first binary for this. It is not a full firmware and the only thing users may note is the hashrate won't lie with this one, as it won't count hardware errors as hashrate. Also my hardware error count is significantly lower with this on the Saturn dev machine I was sent.

Here's a direct link to the binary:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

You'll have to ssh into the kncminer and copy and use that file directly. Hopefully the libraries all match between my dev environment and the default kncminer operating system which means the binary should just work if you run it like on any other OS.

I'm really glad I got my refund from KNC before shipping date arrived and invested in Colored Easter Egg Batch Producers.
I've seen my babies hatshing for weeks now.  

KNC should have stamped on their rigs, "we ship on time, but it's up to you to make the damn thing work"

I'm still learning linux, but would love to try this...  
I'll let someone post a clear procedure before I try... ug.Thank you cklovas!

ssh into your kncminer if you know its IP address is 192.168.1.X:

Code:

ssh -l root 192.168.1.X
screen -d -r
q
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
./cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

q is to quit the already running cgminer

I just put the case on our Saturn and it went from 42.5C to about 49.0 on the first module and 49.5 on the second.

It did seem to give an almost immediate jump in the Hash Rate. It makes no sense ot me as circuits generally run better when coller -- but a biger Hash rate is a Better Hash Rate -- so....

Still at .95 Software.

Have not tried the CKolvas version of the software -- though I do know how to update it. Just don't want to touch a working unit unless there is a clear and worthwhile gain.

A little more info on the "screen" command for those who are curious.

http://www.computerhope.com/unix/screen.htm

The command switches are given as well...

screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI X3.64) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.

When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill existing windows, view a list of windows, turn output logging on and off, copy-and-paste text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows in whatever manner you wish, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the user's terminal. When a program terminates, screen (per default) kills the window that contained it. If this window was in the foreground, the display switches to the previous window; if none are left, screen exits.

Info here will help you to actually run the "screen"....

Note that you should "detach" after viewing the miner screen... before closing the ssh session.

Thanks!  my hardware errors would never go below 7.1  now they keep dropping 6.9,6.8,6.7............down to 5.4 and looks like it keeps getting lower.  And hash is sitting at 545 GH/s for now.... lets see what this bad boy will do.

Update.... Down to 4.9 so far...  Up to 548 GH/s average on cgminer  and first time i have seen a jump over 700 on Eligius..... only if there was a way to make it stay there lol...

Note also that this is perfectly safe and only saves the cgminer binary to the ramdisk which means that if you have any issues or reboot it will just go back to the usual cgminer built in. It is also compatible with any of the kncminer firmwares, though I find 0.96.1 to be the best for me.

Thanks ckolivas.  It works very well.  Only been running a few minutes and straight away the speed is higher and error rate lower.

Thanks for the effort, ckolivas. For me this wasn't an improvement - went from around 537GH/s to 498GH/s. Granted I only ran it for 20 minutes, but with 0.97 I get back up to 537 with the stock software in less than 2 minutes.

Looking forward to future revisions!

What are your hardware errors?  from my understanding knc versions don't subtract hardware error from your current has its showing you.    But his code dose.  So depending on what your hardware errors are you could be doing better?  Or am i misunderstand this?


Though on a side note my hardware error rate is slowly creeping back up to 6.8 already.  Going to try and downgrade to 9.6.1 my self and see if its any better.
