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

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 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!

That's because it's an honest number now, and not the added smoke & mirrors of including errors in averages...
and the error rate is lower, lol

Perhaps - my pool numbers aren't that bad, though. Maybe if we post our WU numbers instead of just pure hashrate/errors?

[-ck]

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

Note that WU also includes the fakedmisrepresented hashrate in the regular binary included in knc firmware.

where i can found instruction how i use the putty?

Use putty connection to 192.168.1x instead of using ssh for the first step

Note that I've also updated the binary slightly though it may not be noticeably different. However I know people love to try every little change, so feel free to repeat the instructions

Then would you say that pool stats like what BTC Guild provides you with would be more accurate then their CGMiner?

Yes, if it's a large enough time period.

[-ck]

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.

Also bear in mind that if the hashrate looks higher artificially on the kncminer version, then the hardware error % rate will also look artificially lower.

My Saturn's cgminer has been mysteriously dying every day or two, the web interface just shows it as dead I have no idea why, so I just restart it.

I have grabbed this new ckolivas binary to try hoping it will not similarly decide to die from time to time.

CKLOVAS on all 3....

Days. So it seems to me that only 1/3 of my Jupis are up the advertised speed of 550

530-550
480-500
230-300 (Runs really hot at 300 so hot that the case is almost uncomfortable to touch.)

I had that happen to a Jupi after it being up for about a week.

Indeed that's a perfect example of why the default binary was substandard in that regard. If you have that much heat as a problem, check they didn't mistakenly leave a bit of plastic between the device and the cooler... that's happened to someone on this thread.

I just tried the newer cgminer posted above on my lemon.  I'm afraid to try it on my gem, no need.  I did not stop my miner, I simply applied the steps in putty.  It says v3.6.6 no w and the numbers seem to reflect the miners true performance.  HW error % has decreased compared to before.  But other than that it hasn't improved my pool rates.  I'm using .95.  It's been less than an hour though.  Do we need to reboot or anything?  I'm confused as to what this change really does.

Edit:  Oh, it just reveals the truth.

I have to mess with the chips to get them that high. I unplug the board, press on the copper of the heat sink and plug it back in while the Jupi is running. For some reason when it comes back online the voltage drops, but the Output Current goes up AND die that were off are online now, but at the same time the temp goes to 73-84c. I've already taken apart the hottest board/heat sink and re-applied my own paste, but that didn't help.

i can not install cklovinas cgminer to jupiter with putty
any details
how i can do it?

[FoolPartedWithMoney]

Thanks ckolivas, I think I see quite an improvement for my Saturn (at least extra 10gh at the pool). If it stays like this, I hope to finally start reclaiming my life.

Thanks for that.

I will test it out and post results soon.

Does anyone know the hours of operation for KNC offices?
