Existing customers will get a discount on the boxes, and they will also receive their products around two or three weeks earlier than the competition. There will be no trade-in program.

Pre-orders open today, Cole said, adding that all specifications given to CoinDesk are pre-release and subject to change.

The order book will likely open either tomorrow, or in the coming days.

Not sure what you mean by what kind of refusal? In any case wait and see at the point of announcement.

Dare say it will be first come first served to previous customers for a designated period of time. I have no idea of there is a limit, or whether there's a reseller program. Though of there is please use the reseller link in my sig. Ta v.much Wink

just to inform u that there is something going on with Nov. batch...

my Status (ordernumber 85xx) has changed from 'payed' to 'in progress'.

Thats the best news all week

My order still just shows "paid" order 93xx

Anyone know for certain that production has started ?

Channel topic from #kncminer on FreeNode IRC, set by hno, a KnC emlpoyee: "November shipment in full production"

Well the PCBs have been 'in production' since the week before last, but Marcus is driving down to the facility at 3am to oversee the assembly line, so that's more the 'in production' you want to hear of. hno can be seen making a brief appearance in the vid above, he's crazy intelligent btw, I'm not just saying that as a passing compliment...

Capitalising on the fact that I saw that dud cores are better disabled, here's an experimental binary that tunes things fairly aggressively:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

First it enables all cores on startup (so it can take a while before it starts mining!)
Then it will disable cores after only 3 hw errors in a row, but staggers disabling of cores 5 seconds apart.
Then it tries re-enabling cores after only another minute, but staggers re-enabling them.
If the cores fail 3 times in a row, they're decommissioned at that point.

I´m missing an official statement on the website about the psu,
customers which are here not at home, have to know which psu (power) they need.

Why not e-mail them?

From https://www.kncminer.com/pages/faq

Quote

What specs do I need for the powersupply? ▾
- A power supply (PSU) certified as 80+ Gold (high quality power with low variations).
- for October Jupiter’s, an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of four separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).
- for October Saturn’s, a 600 Watt PSU with a minimum of two separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pins).
- for Mercury models, a 400 Watt PSU with a minimum of one PCI-E adaptor (6 pins or 6+2 pins).

To maximise the performance of your November shipment orders, we recommend the following:
- for November Jupiter’s a 1200 Watt PSU with a minimum of four separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).
- for November Saturn’s an 850 Watt PSU with a minimum of two separate PCI-E adaptors (6 pins or 6+2 pin).

Hi,

Current indication is that production will start Tuesday morning. We are doing what we can to get production started earlier and we will provide an update if anything changes.

For speculation, ROI, fanboy talk, complaints, trolling, having fun or else please stick to the original thread.
Topic is not self moderated by intent, since I do not want to delete posts proving who's a moron.

Seems like there's a winner!

Topic is locked now, since some never learn what the intention behind this thread was and continue to devalue it more with each of their douchebag posts.

You think KnC is reliable?
We are in the market for an asic soon.

I'm reliably hashing away on their hardware at this moment, however they are completely sold out.

yeah damn it, I want those upgrade modules! PM me for any offer
Thx

interested to hear the KnC official stance on PCI-express connectors on the v850 PSUs

are you hosting them with the one 'twin' cable heating up like mine did for a month before dying or are you in possession of extra cables?

also if the heat generated is a cause or an effect of the 0 Die low current issue?

very interested to hear a response as my v850 up & died today.

KnC was talking about a Scrypt product for a while -- has anyone heard anything more about this?

Not sure, but the first Scrypt FPGA built for Litecoin is already available for sale. I'm not sure if this is a scam or not yet though, but it looks promising. Supposedly they've already shipped some units and have a video of the prototype: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,6401.0.html

Any news if KNC received the missing parts? Last I hear we were thinking 5-10 days, it's been 6.

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

Actually I sat in a room one Saturday with General Electric's Critical Power Specialist who flew in specifically to address the issue, i'd wager he knows what he's talking about and the HX has fried components at a with a statistically significant reason for concern according to other posts on the internet. It's not solely limited to KnC boards.

Let me get this straight. A GE engineer claimed the problem wasn't caused by GE hardware, but by some other company's product? Do you see why people would question the results of this "test"? How about you fly in a Corsair engineer and get his opinion?

Because Corsair don't have any "engineers" they don't make their own PSU's they get other companies to make them. So perhaps Channel Well who make the Corsair HX850 Gold, couldn't/wouldn't send an engineer over to a small company who aren't their customer in the first place?

Come on guys, as I said before Bitcoinorama is just the conduit of information back and forth, as he said don't shoot the messenger.

Bitcoinorama, on the other hand, don't take it personally if people question the process, just pass the information back to the team and then wait for more feedback. Don't bite back, or even worse feed trolls.

It's so the Corsair Engineers can ensure the Corsair logo is straight.

+1

Because the Corsair engineers designed and built the HX line... Roll Eyes

I think the question was rhetorical...

Didn't know I needed /Sarcasm

same here. I called UPS and asked them WTF.
Somebody left the facility and packages got forgotten.
A guy on the phone said it's possible that it will get delivered on schedule.
