Well, here's a binary which should hopefully address the known memory leak from cgminer itself based on the latest git master 009511c995458c00a5f46426c8e80ddb94c20cbb.

heh I know nothing about how to install something like this I'll wait for the next release and take it as an update then

but again we appreciate your efforts and also your time on this forum

Searing

wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer

screen -dm ./cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

Don't forget to shut down the running miner first.

In case you are wondering where your boards and Cyper are, it seems his daring heist has paid off.

Collecting the boards in person was his way to scope out the knc building, checking entrances and exits, to assess where the pick up was going to take place. CCTV will soon reveal a man with a fake moustache loitering on Birger Jarlsgatan soon after Cyper left.

This van was spotted passing through the channel tunnel at speed this morning, on it's way to London.



All your hashrate's belongs to Cyper.

On the fedex/ups talks, I use both regularly. UPS never fails me for normal deliveries or even 2nd-day or same day air. FedEx next day and same day air is also good.

However, normal ground deliveries? FedEx blows.

I know it's not a consolation, but I ordered a curtain rod last week and used FedEx. The shipment came from one state, passed by my house, went to another state, went back past my state, and then got left in a fedex courier facility where it's sat for 4 days.

They're still trying to assess the issue.

The issue was I used FedEx.

OK UPS had a technical error, hence 'exception', so UPS couldn't ship their packages last night, but nothing to fear they're on their way now according to UPS. The guy that had a package appear in Germany and then back in Sweden, the confusion there is apparently due to the manifest (customs docket) appearing on the German UPS system ahead of physical delivery of the package. So his package (and presumably every heading to Germany) was still in Sweden presumably and is now en route to Germany, if not there already.

EDIT: 'the guy' = DJcoin, sorry bud!

So is it safe to assume that packages that hit US soil, then got "sent back to Sweden" are going to be delivered tomorrow?  Just curious as to whether or not we need to send in tracking numbers with this issue.

Thanks

Ok, in between the complaining and stressing and accusing, can someone tell me the process that lets you know when your miner is going to ship.   First, it says paid.  Then what?
Thanksgiving is coming, so this 5-10 day delay could actually be VERY expensive for americans.

Nothing had hit US soil, the Manifest, i.e. the customs docket had been emailed to someone on US soil ahead of the delivery to presumably expedite the customs process. That's standard UPS procedure, whatever the 'technical issues' were that caused an 'exception' prevented all the packages from leaving UPS's depo...

The level of activity on this board -- actually the lack of it -- tells me that a new disease has appeared -- UPS-OCD. With forum members compulsively refreshing the browsers sitting on their UPS tracking number -- with a rate between 5 sec. and 5 min. dpending on the depth of the affliction.

I try to limit myself to every half hour and resist the OCD side... the alarm is really annoying though...

first you get "in progress" means in the queue for assembly/manufacture

then "shipped" means made, your customer wallet info has been flashed and the address label printed and applied. Basically awaiting UPS pick-up.

the tracking id will then come once UPS is in possession and en route...

Like my Arctic Freezer i30 from Amazon delivered to the same city from which it was shipped, 3000 miles from its actual destination.

 Well having just placed my third call to Amazon a young woman informed me that FedEx is carrying it and that the last postmark is in Dallas but it's on it's way to Georgia.  The tracking number, which is a USPS tracking number, is inaccurate.  FedEx will hand off the package to the US Post Office but there is no FedEx tracking number for me.  Then the young lady said the USPS tracking number was recycled and that it showed something being delivered to Carlsbad, CA last August.  She was nice so I just agreed, yes, that must be it.

What is meant by 'customer wallet info has been flashed'? I notice when logging in to my account that there are fields for  bitcoin address, mining pool, worker name, etc. Do we need to fill those in prior to shipment or is it ok to leave them blank?

Just to be anal.
In Process is what I am waiting for now.   So, that happens when?   At the point they send the UPS labels to the contract manufacturer?  Does that mean it could be days "in process"
or only hours?

[vesperwillow]

You guys really need to ease off the refresh button and just let the shipments arrive to you. Does any of this make it arrive quicker? No..

With those details your miner is pre-configured, better add them as they will be used for testing as well - remember it's a plug'n'play device

@Bitcoinorama:
It would be nice for new customers to have a tooltip for those input fields, giving those who wonder about it a clue what its meaning is

Phoenix told me to relax and and chill and they should arrive as expected, but it's hard to plan your whole day when you don't know what's going on. So I call the main people involved who are supposed to know what's going on UPS. I give them my tracking numbers and I hear, ummm, errrr, derrrr, errrrr, ummmmm, hmmmmmmm, errrrrrr, then I just cut in and say you have no idea what's going on do you? And their typical response well there was an exception (yes, that's what I told you when I called and calling about) but it doesn't say when they will be delivered. I confirmed with them. You are the shipping company that has my shipments and are telling me out right you don't know when they will be delivered? Yes, I don't know. Man, does that instill confidence in that company or what. Original delivery day was Wednesday, November 20th. By the end of the day. UPS can now deny or confirm any delivery date at all and has no additional information on the packages. I have been told if I want to put an "investigation" on it would need to come from the shipper. Soon as I heard that I knew I had a better chance of winning the pick 6 lotto here, so I just hung up the phone and went back to being pissed off.

Have you or anyone else thought of logging into the UPS site and simply setting an alert (via email, text, etc) for updates on your tracking numbers? It's really easy.

Then sit back and wait until it's Stateside.

Did he miss any opportunity to smear Bitcoin?  Anything he claimed Bitcoin is being used for is way more paid for in dollars.

Such spin.  Not that Silkroad was taken down but that it existed and now onto the dark web.

It's clear the banks coached him.

Brings to mind Alphonse D'Amato failing to collect interest on Nassau County taxpayers money held by banks then lo and behold he got the Senate seat instead of Liz Holtzman.  Please the banks and get a Senate seat.

I'm thinking we need a publicly broadcasted session with Dr. Phil -- who could provide detailed information on how to handle this crisis. I'm surprised nobody thought of this beforehand. Should I call the show producers?
