Well on a side note with KNC...just to change things up....

When did KNC stop selling of the last batch of Neptunes and Titans? I just saw the page the only thing available to buy from knc
is 200 28mm chips at $5,400.00 usd and Jupiter module upgrade still at $350 (heh you can buy these for $75 bucks on ebay now heh)

so .....is this recent or has it been awhile...if recent I guess it shows they have finally pulled the plug on us pesky customers
and now can  move on to the 'arctic cloud' with class A and class B investors...better class of folk..money wise that is...no need
get hands dirty making an actual 'shudder' consumer product

anyway how long since they sold a 3rd batch neptune..when did they stop?

also when did they pull the plug on the 3rd batch titan as well?

anyway just wondering if this is new or been this way for months..no idea...just  noticed on their product page...I guess the next
hint of when they really have moved on is when the product page disappears....which hey could be any day now...

Kurt, on the KNC forum, March 20

All miners will be shipped within the Q2/Q3 timeframe that we have specified.

What is their rationale claiming that a connector rated for max 13 amps is enough to draw over 200 watts at 12 volts? I know my Ohm's law, and I can multiply 12 volts times 13 amps, which comes out to 156 watts. One cube draws over 20 amps I think. The heat generated is proportional to the square of the current. 20^2 / 13^2 = 2.37, which means 137% more heat than the connector is rated for.

[s1gs3gv]

The connector is good for 13A per circuit. The 6 pin connector has 3 circuits. 39 amps x 12 volts = 468 watts.

Current = 13A max. per circuit when header is mated to a receptacle loaded with 45750 Mini-Fit® Plus HCS Crimp Terminal Crimped to 16 AWG wire., See Molex Product specification PS-5556-001 for additional current de-rating information.

I have not personally confirmed that they are using the 26-01-3116. It might be worth checking to see what Molex product ID marks are on the Neptune and Titan connectors to confirm.

The Y cables they plan to ship should ameliorate any PSU side issues.

Needless to say, a bad design. These connectors cost less than $1 in quantity. KNC should have used two.

[samsonn25]

He may be implying each power connector 3 x 1 are rated for 13 amps.

Assuming cables are thick enough and end connectors are good quality.

If this were the case maybe KNC should have included these cables???

[s1gs3gv]

Looks like KNC has turned off all the Titans in their DC and is starting to ship the rest of batch 1.

Alpha claims to be shipping soon, maybe they have been mining for a few weeks also?

[jelin1984]

Maybe because mine still paid

[yochdog]

Anyone have shipping updates with their order #'s?

Mine is 198** and still showing nothing but paid.

Don't you just love dealing with these Douche Nozzles? 

[s1gs3gv]

I have noticed some 199xx reporting as in progress or shipped recently. KNC claim the delivery queue is ordered by paid date, not order number. It appears they are still working on getting machines shipped that were paid on day 1.

[vesperwillow]

Apparently KNC are maintaining the Titan driver themselves and Luke Jr. doesn't provide support.
KNC still claim to be working on fixing all the firmware issues 'round the clock' and 'as fast as we can'

If they just gave Luke a miner, which would cost them next to nothing, they wouldn't have to worry about half this stuff. They gave him gear lastyear.

KNC really needs to ship a bonus Titan to 1 batch buyers. If not then at least an additional module.

Well that will never happen!

HGAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

[proudpak]

Anyone with Titan order been able to get their refund from KnC?

Nope, they've been flat up refusing to even consider allowing a refund. I've had repeated emails back and forth, no luck.
Looks like i'm getting a paperweight.. definetley an expensive lesson. IMO, POW is dead. You're competing against the companies you buy the devices from. It's centralized bs. Raging.

I second the douche nozzle remark.

That being said...My titan is on truck for delivery today in the United States.  Order # 1990x, paid March 19th @ 16:46 knc time.

Does anyone here buy any knc mining contract
Did work???

[bitdigger2013]

Why would anyone want to give them more money?

They'd have a better chance with ROI on a lotto ticket than throwing those schmucks money.
