I will ask again, how do you fasten these without the metal bar?

You have to use the metal bar. These are being custom installed so all the mounting hardware that comes with it is useless.

+1, the mounting stuff won't be used. use the metal bar knc will ship with the module. very simple but effective.

man, i placed my order literally at 8am as it popped up, i was refreshing every 5 seconds from 755am. the bit pay button brought up a pop up window that 404 errored on me but i still had my order, so i waited the 10 mins for my btc to come in and went back to pay.....how is this my fault.

You didn't have your BTC ready?

Main reason I bought 2 was to pry myself from trading non-stop on BTCe..  if my order didn't go through I would just be happy trading that $2000 back and forth

Just go to plan B... I hear LTC is going to the Moon, jump in while you can

[augustocroppo]

There's no need for that, I can understand the frustration, and he's been cool, he's wound up, and trolls like Croppo are egging him on.

Trolls like me?

This is common sense and I am surprised that instead to you offer him apologies, you are trying to produce excuse after excuse to not blame KnCminer for their own incompetence to manages the sales of mere 200 electronic boards.

[WastedLTC]

Can someone please cancel one of your upgrade units so they can attach it back to my hosted miner?   Unit went down around the time of the sale.

Just holding bitcoins is a pretty good plan B. I had pretty much planned not to buy a November order and wasn't even all that sure I even wanted to upgrade quite so soon until all the hype - the people all so eager to get an upgrade - excitement infected me. Before all that I had thought I was pretty sure I should resist so now I just have to find that mindset again and be glad that fate helped me resist.

I agree that the shipping charge is too high.  I paid $206.30 to ship 3 modules to the US.  Modules whose heatsinks are not included "to save on shipping."

In contrast, I only paid $136.80 for shipping on my November Jupiter.  That's 4 modules with heatsinks, the case, and everything else.

I paid it, of course, not wanting to miss out.

Still I hope they offer to refund some of that.  If they wanted to charge more they should have just priced the modules higher rather than calling it a shipping charge, when it obviously will not cost them anywhere near that amount.

I can believe it was an honest mistake.  They may have meant to charge $68.77 per order, and ended up charging $68.77 per board or something.

(This sale surely went more smoothly than any of the Avalon sale launches.  I had to sit trying for 30+ minutes each time ordering those, hoping the orders went through as the site and payment processor continued to fall over.)

yeah the shipping cost was reaaaallly high for such a small package....not sure how that happened. it must have been an error. you're right, a full mercury unit cost me like 130 bucks. lol

[the-skeptic]

So no news about those of us who successfully completed transactions for modules but weren't given shipping options?
Here's my payment for $1900:

I will gladly arrange for pickup if I can have and address and pickup date for FedEx.

I agree with ASIC-K that this sale was poorly organized and definitely not in the best interest of KNC customers.

Any ticket selling website that I've used works in the following way: there is a stock availability of n units. A customer puts x units in his cart, so the unit availability changes to n-x and that customer has a set number of minutes to complete the transaction. If he doesn't then the units get added back to the total availability.

But no, they used first paid, first served, which creates an unnecessary influx of customers, thus bandwidth to the Payment processor that can bring any website to its knees.

+1 ROFL

[mtbitcoin]

If its any consolation to those that missed out, its not like these will make tons of btc. I suspect most will breakeven and make some spare change only.

As for the shipping charges, yes they worked out higher than what it cost to ship my Jupiter. Since these upgrade boards are not shipping with the heatsinks and cases, all the more reason that the shipping cost should be lower. Hopefully a refund can be made to correct this

(+1 for Pluto - 6 board hasher)

This UPS box


Could hold 4 upgrade modules and does not cost more than $75 USD to ship

so why is KNC charging $206 to ship two board etc?

Because:

A: They made a mistake and refunds will follow
B: They decided to make some extra money on top by overcharging for delivery.

Let's see which one it is

[davewr2013]

Guys, I will have 1 module for sale once it arrives. I just realized that I I can only fit 2 more, not 3.

wanna sell it to me, since knc fucked me over?

Mate how did you get screwed over when x amount more had the ability to purchase beyond what was allocated and we couldn't even get back into the system to stop it for an entire 2 minutes?

When people want something they complain if they don't get it. It's human nature...

Now to business,

There are two types of i30 Coolers --

One is called a 24/7 Cooler
The second is a Direct touch.

It looks like either will work.

Is it correct that either should work?

Either one will work. One is for Intel mounting and one is for AMD mounting, none of that is used here.

Your comment is misleading. If you have a look at the custom metal bracket made by KNC you will understand why.
