We would like to say that after a very long stint in the factory over the weekend and with great help from our entire engineering team we are finally ready to release the figures you have all been waiting for, Jupiter is of course not a 400 machine it’s much more than that. Watch the video on our youtube site

Truth or lies in their official company newsletter to customers? If that is not an official statement, what is?

What the actual fuck? Which part of my post did you not understand? You're so ready to pull shit over everyone who dares to quote you that you don't even notice when someone agrees with you. Let me repost myself, read the first part very carefully:

Yes. I totally agree that they are liars. It's a fact so no disagreement there.

But it's not accurate to call them criminals if you "only" get a 450Gh machine when you paid for 400Gh one.

Come on. I agree in the first part. Totally.

But they promised 500, as per my last two posts. I'm disagreeing with the 450GH. It's not you Meizirkki, it's them. They say 500 and then figure 400 or maybe even 450 is good enough.

"I'll sell you 5 bags of pasta for that amount of money. Here's the money. Here are your 4 bags of pasta. WTF?"

this fw seems to enable/disable cores with greater frequency... cool

If you use bertmod 98 then some fixes inside the new frimware will lost, because, the old bertmod 0.98 will change the /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh
for example !!!

New for me is the job of this file:  /usr/bin/waas !

Can anyone send me an complete diff between 0.98 and 0.99 (i don´t know how) Thx a lot!!!

[fubly]

Avenger...  Die 0 was addressed with the 0.98.1 beta firmware, and most machines were fixed with it. Other than you, I don't think there are more than a handfull more out there..MAYBE.   So to call that the "Biggest issue" is Total Crap.
okay we have...
1. Avenger  (Assuming he really has a machine)
2. Edgar....
3....?

i found only this diff: (inside 98.1) - initc.sh

v=56
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0xb 0x73
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0xe $v
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0xb 0x73

i2cset -y 1 0x24 0xb 0x6c
i2cset -y 1 0x24 0x11 0x86

If you have an dieed die and it works on 98.1 then ist will also working on 0.99

Are these voltage mods?

In retrospect, wish I purchased a couple KNC rigs Not sure what horse to bet on next   February seems too far away to wait for a CoinTerra or HashFast preorder.

Buy btc? You are paying about ~$1000/btc investing in hardware right now. Well, that price by the time the next batch ships. Or pay $400/btc now and see how it goes?

Seriously, I could have bought 80btc when I ordered. 80BTC would now be worth $32,000. Ugh.

[fubly]

this firmware blows. back to 98.1 beta....

Agreed.  Killed die 0 again.  Back to 98.1 Beta...

you can use the new 0.99 fw can you try to add this lines to the end of this file (reboot)

It it is not working, can you send the output of this command:

When you run this command: usr/bin/waas
you get this error: "/config/advanced.conf" not found!

ok: 
touch /config/advanced.conf

vi /config/advanced.conf

paste your jason output in there, but do NOT change any value befor we here from KNC Support
how it works!

Then restart your box, hmm, when you make no chnages inside advanced.conf it is not nessesary to
reboot!

The file will be loaded on reboot only (i think)

Buy btc? You are paying about ~$1000/btc investing in hardware right now. Well, that price by the time the next batch ships. Or pay $400/btc now and see how it goes?

Seriously, I could have bought 80btc when I ordered. 80BTC would now be worth $32,000. Ugh.

32000 & then some!

after 10+ hrs on 0.99 i have a pool HR of 477Gh/s, it was 510-540 on 0.98.1 (beta)

WU is down from 77xx to 73xx

More importantly, my 24hr earnings have dropped from 0.8xxx to 0.62717

FML!

also the 'update asic status' button is gone

[kronut]

Bitcoinorama' explanation for the delay of shipping the upgrades is ridiculous, why is everyone just gobbling this up?

Here is a picture of the page I made when I ordered the modules :

https://i.imgur.com/0NI2wpV.png

Note the part at the bottom? "All items are in stock and will be packaged and shipped this week via ups".

It didn't say maybe, it said they will ship. This is the same BS that has cost many of us (including me) the chance to recover our investment in KNC. These upgrade modules will help with recovering a bigger part, but as with anything bitcoin, every day counts. So don't say you will ship this week, and then turn around and wait another week, at approx .13 coins per day per unit lost. I was one of the early orders, so I could have had my boards by now.

I do like my miner and I think they did a fantastic job on the hardware, but the constant delays and excuses are not acceptable for any professional company.


Edit : And to add to this is buying the heatsinks/coolers with 2 day shipping to make sure we would have them in time, another waste of money.

This code comes from beta 98.1 /etc/init.d/initc.sh file. Voltage, I think it confuses only the spm bus a little bit.

Cool... I "found" the 52 second block on eligius yesterday!

Thats realy cool!

I and some other idiots are on CoinEx pool for 8 days with avg 4 Th/s and have ZERO reward and ZERO found blocks.

 

for me is it only raining since 25 oct to now i made only 1 btc... long RMA story!

as i have write you before i have only 4 ports...one board has been in a rma process..this one has 4 VRMs..the other 3 old boards have 8 vrms.
of cause this there seems the voltage difference


why should i sell something? ...lol... you mean buy?

[fubly]

please send some output of this command:

Code:

that we can check the diff between our miners, also can the orsoc guys review what happens.

For example my volts are minus, others are plus and so on.


Can anyone create an vote for:

1. Yes, let my miner send stats to KNC / Orsoc (switch Now/never)
2. No, all is BS
3. I buy HF 96 Th/s miner

In other exciting news...I mined a block today with my Saturn!

First entire block I have mined, it took almost a month of mining 24/7 but it happened.
