maybe I am just tired, but did KNC remove hosting options for November units?

Also, how is everyone feeling with the 30% measured and difficulty change is under 5%!   Fantastic stuff!!!  All those mining calculators couldn't have predicted this!  Clear sailing to the end of the year outside of KNC's November units.

Sweet, isn't it?
Hopefully HF & CT continue to falter....

After payment is received how long does it take for order status to change from "New"?

usually a few hours for me

Glad I snagged the 2nd one before the price drop... whew!

Yeah grabbed one before the drop as well (13 btc for this was a steal)! Yeah mine still says new. Hopefully by tomorrow it'll change. I always get nervous having 5k floating out there...

Buy 13 coins or a Jupiter.. HA!  I don't think anyone here would say that a November unit will mine less than 13BTC.

[Phoenix1969]

I wonder how long it will be before countries start buying oil in BTC, instead of the U.S. Dollar....
BTC acceptance for campaign contributions is actually being voted on in congress too...
There are big things in the works...

Bear raid on the coin price on a Saturday night US, and Europe Sunday morning when a lot of people are out, and about, or asleep is a bit naughty!

And here I was imagining an Asian high-stakes Satoshi game...
Good morning, Sir...
Any teaser info out there?...

Yes KNC have had a lot of problems and will not be offering hosting in the future.

[Nemesis]

when will the Nov batch be shipped?
Do they release the sales number and order number list?

[WastedLTC]

Yes KNC have had a lot of problems and will not be offering hosting in the future.

Thanks, now that they fixed the initial hosting issues, my units have been running great--  maybe they will offer hosting in 2014 when they have more experience with it.

[ecliptic]

So why has the difficulty/hash rate leveled off?  is KnCMiner done with their orders, or have they halted delivery until the next batch, or something?

November shipments don't begin until Nov 15th.  Assuming all October-delivery orders have been shipped, yes, they have halted shipping until then.

Roughly how much November hashrate has been sold?

This is sad even at almost $400/bitcoin you barley make anything, completely retarded to buy any of these overpriced pieces of shit.

WHAT?    You must be doing something wrong then....  Ive been hashing the 3 saturns since september 15th,*edit.. (one on the 11th, two on the 18th)which is just over three weeks, and they have Produced enough BTC to buy 2 Nov. Jupiters, which is about 150% more hashpower than I currently have...IF they are still 550GH/s devices...
which I'm sure they won't be.
If you can get more hashpower than the diff increase, your income will grow instead of diminish....
I still have a week left to hit the one month mark, which is about how long it has been taking for the diff to double...  and right now, the diff increase is stalled! So I am Way ahead of the game so far IMHO.

so basically you spend about 13K and have only made 10K back? How is this profitable in your mind? What? how is it just over 3 weeks, that's almost 2 months, are you a KNC shill?

any links on that? The congress thing, not the oil. Though both would be rather interesting.

I spent 11.8k, and got over 10 back in 24 days, YES I call that profitable! DUH!

Calling O'rama a liar repeatedly when he's just relaying messages makes you look retarded.
It's getting really old too. There are entirely too many pages of it.

Please tell me that is not directed at Bargraphics?  

It's directed to those who are doing it. Names witholding.... Doesn't matter. I don't see the obsession with accusing O'rama of all kinds of shit. He has done nothing wrong....period.

If you or me were in his shoes, we would have easily ended up with the same by relaying messages... get over it already. You guys act like a angry lynch-mob...... trying to kill the messenger....

I think Bargraphics was being tongue-in-cheek. I've met the guy, he's cool.

I think so too, just keepin' folks in-check with reality...

BTW...

under "Saturn info"...
"The KnC mining modules will be on sale for delivery from 15th November in-line with our second shipment date. Both the Saturn rig, and its respective upgradable ASIC modules are designed by Sweden’s ORSoC engineers, and will offer industry leading performance and power consumption per Gigahash (Gh)"

I have a feeling the November units are gonna ROCK!

They gonna sell modules? Do you know how much? I assume they will come with the proper length data cables, right, so they can reach the modules all the way in the back. Now, how much per module.

Thanks!

That's perversely kind of cool. If the pols are getting donations, they are probably a bit less likely to try to kill the golden goose. Probably.

Has anyone measured the power draw of a Jupiter at the wall? I'm trying to see if a Seasonic X1250 is enough to power 2 of them.

I get 1W/GH/s, dependant on firmware that can be more, or less. Lowest I played with was 0.85W/GH/s in Atlanta, the most I've drawn has been 1.1W/GH/s. That's at the wall.

Personally I would stick to two separate PSUs in case for whatever reason you experience a fault with the PSU, or want to separate the units.

In answer to both yours and the guy above, the Coolermaster V850 is what's being used throughout the hosting, and in the lab, and has run faultlessly the entire time.

http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/powersupply/v-series-psu/v850.html

It's totally silent as well.

This is that PSU that has 4 PCI-E connections but only comes with 3 cables. Odd.
