wow, also just noticed that after around 115 Million submitted shares I can finally say I am official and found a BLOCK for the BTC community. I was starting to feel left out....1 less on the bucket list.

Solo mining or pool?

.98 firmware helped! hashing at 144 ghs on my mercury. low hardware errors!

Congrats ASIC-K!!  I have been hesitant to play with my firmware at all, as my miner arrived with .95 and was hashing 540gh/s in cgminer right off the bat.

Of course now I want to apply .98 but I am out of town for work (Windsor) and do not want to attempt a remote fw upgrade:(

Have to wait till the weekend... Cheers!

hey buddy! i forgot about you, we still have to do a meet up!

yeah man, .98 solved almost all problems. mercury is running at peak efficiency now, i honestly think you would get a bump in speed too.

Would be a losing battle if I was solo mining. I started on bitminter but most of my mining has been on BTC Guild.

Please post any changes in WU, that is really all that matters because that is what we are paid for.

After 1hr on .98

errors would immediately start in the 20% range and average down to about 16% but with .98 I am currently at around 7% HW error and most importantly on BTCG

miner_knc   273.96 GH/s   54,336k (99.83%)

I have never seen it this high......will post more later.

Does anyone know if my miners have been collected/shipped today or yesterday?

Sorry Cyper, they are bs-ing you if they said this meant it was shipped. I had the same situation. Shipping info recieved only means dhl have been informed. Tomorrow you will get the "Shipment picked up" in the morning. Then the day after it should be delivered. So prob it will arrive on the 31st

[lindeanin]

stupid question, but i just switched to eligius, where can i see if i have solved a block or not? lol

Not all pools show it. I know Slush does, as I found one already half year ago in 1st day of mining  

[dwdoc]

Going from 0.97 to 0.98
One Jupiter went from 420 to 580GH
One went from 500 to 550
And one stayed at 500

0.98 Caused one of my GUI interfaces to report 0 gh/s, when cgminer is going fine, and the pool is reporting it fine....?  anyone else?
cold restart fixed it...

[naRky]

went from 0.95 to 0.98

0.95
545GH/s
570W
1.9% HW error

0.98 running 1h
565GH/s
630W
2% HW error

Wow, for the first time my CGMiner average matches the pool average, and both are up considerably.  On previous firmware, my speed on the pool would float between 500 and 550,  but was generally in the middle - 525~.  CGMiner generally reported 540-545.  Now both are reporting ~567, and have been for a couple hours.  Bravo KNC   

I did see an increase of ~75 watts from the wall, but I'm not complaining.

Which pool you used?

[trepex]

Saturn: 0.97 & manual cgminer 3.6.6 installation  vs.  0.98
cgminer avg. hashrate: 269.5  vs.  279-280
Power usage @230V:  280W  vs.  305W
Temperatures: +3C
HW error rate: 7.5%  vs.  2.5%

Great! I am happy. 9GH for 25W sounds Ok. Better than my Jalapeno  

[FiatKiller]

WU is dropping again, but going to let it ride. Going to be hard to know the ultimate effects because I just brought a BFL30 online yesterday also. Shockingly, I am in the Top 20 on my pool now.

[FeedbackLoop]

Just reporting on the long averages from my hot Jupiter experiment:

Setting:
open case
two front boards cooler fans off and replaced by case fans at a 5 cm distance
temperatures reported ranging from ~50 front boards (48.5 one of them...) to high 50s 60 back boards
FW 0.95 KNC cgminer

previous Results:
Previous open case with good cooling ~500 GH/s at eligius 12 hour average
17 off cores overall as reported by bertmod
15 to 16% HW

Now:
~ 530 GH/s at eligius 12 hour average
2 off cores reported by bertmod
4.5% HW

No pressure applied.
 

Going for 0.98 now.

Cheers!

I am at disbelief at the level of misinformation and false claims repeatedly made by KNC support staff.
And I wonder who benefits from such a way of conducting business   It's definitely not me.

I was told yesterday noon (28.10) that my miners are ready and waiting to be picked up same day.
It turns out they will most probably not going to be picked up today either.

And as usual nobody is picking up the phone.

[xuemike]

0.98 is pretty damn good, 1 jumped 30gh, other 2 jumped 20

basically got a free BFL single and then some.
