Yo, 1200W Gold rated PSUs November orders FTW pls! Wink

So KnC recommends 1200W PSU for the November batch ?

Why would you doubt me??

I do not doubt what you say, sorry if I expressed myself in a way that you thought it's my intention.
I wasn't sure whether I got it right as non-native speaker facing an unknown abbreviation.
After looking it up myself and getting sure about it's meaning I've edited my post and added a link to another post of yours making it more clear for stupid ones like me.

Today is the 15TH of November and we were due to start shipping, There is some bad news and some good news, The Bad news is the delivery of parts which we needed to begin today has been delayed by about 5-10 days
We found this out two days ago and have been working with the suppliers to get it as fast as possible but it’s not been possible I’m afraid,

But the good news is we can announce yet another performance improvement, All November batch boxes have a new PCB board and our engineers have been working overtime to improve the board as much as possible. We can now announce that the speed will be minimum of 650 GH/s in turbo mode or MORE depending on individual chip performance. It’s important to note that the new turbo mode is not overclocking and will not void any warranty. But it’s also not available on the September/October Devices.
For the November shipments we are using UPS only and have increased the strength of the boxes to reduce the shipping issues.
We appreciate that any delay in shipment is not good news at all and we are doing EVERYTHING we can to decrease the delay.
Thanks
KnCMiner Team

Power costs meant something on miners less than 1 Gh... it might mean something again next summer or next fall but only if the miners are dirt cheap. This isn't 40W a Gh anymore

So you're saying it's ok to lie on a press release, because it's not a very significant issue?

asking specific questions that relate to MULTIPLE interested parties, as opposed to singular stupid ones is apparently trolling.

Have you not been paying attention?

hey guys, anyone to speculate when the next batch might be available? i feel oct and nov were outstanding ROI months for jup owners... now that most of the other asic manufacturers are scheduled to ship coming dec and january i'd say ROI is going to be much much tougher than before.

Yeah, but that same article states, "The design offers the industry’s leading performance (576Gh/s) and power consumption (under 1w/Gh/s at the wall)...".

Bitfury has lower power consumption.

power costs still do mean something... but a balance of high performance and low power is required. not just high perf and not just low power. but right now, $/GH is very important, and W/GH is of secondary importance. But if systems of like $/GH are competing, then W/GH matters.

"Unbeknown to the community we are currently developing the next generation product in 20nm/16nm process with Alchip, and we have much more to offer our customers, both past and future with respect to our mantra of under promising, and over delivering, none of which we could have delivered upon alone."

boldness in the air this morning.

If memory serves DeathAndTexas said that anything lower than 28nm will take almost two years before hitting the market and I have no reasons to doubt it, well a part from Alchip saying that they are working on 20/16nm tech for the next knc gen miners.

i think there's a fair chance we will see 20nm and maybe even 16nm bitcoin miners during 2014. the fabs are letting people tape-out now. one of the asic companies that either has lots of cash... or, the ability to raise investment.. or maybe still some appetite to take pre-orders... will be able to front the extremely high NRE cost.

the big question is that what will it offer over just making more of the existing 28nm chips (or doing a new 28nm chip thats more optimised). We know that BitFury is doing a 28nm full custom chip... and maybe others might do that too.

So Alchip and Knc have already said they're working on a design. once they have a design, they will need to decide whether there's a market for spend upwards of $5-6m on the nre cost alone.

All,

Thanks very much for all of the people who purchased the upgrade modules, The entire bunch of 200 sold out in around 3 minutes. We have over sold a little as we were not fast enough to disable the product in the shop. and bitcoin transactions take a few minutes to become verified

What we will say is that to everyone who has paid via bitpay for their order will receive an upgrade board.

We do expect that all boxes will leave this week and we will double the team involved in packing so it goes as quick as we can

Thanks KnCMiner Team

If they know they oversold and can still fulfill those orders, they should be able to work in a few edge cases like ASIC-K as well, I would think.

They may state that they "offer" that performance, but they haven't exactly delivered it. My Jupiters aren't meeting either of those specs and neither are a lot of other customers.

It seems no one is interested in external binaries any more, but just in case they are, here is a binary for the knc devices based off the latest cgminer 3.7.0 code. There are no performance advantages for knc devices but there are networking and work scheduling fixes for people that have had issues (eg difficulty connecting to eligius or system stopping work entirely). As per previously, you'll have to ssh into and copy the binary to your device to run it.

Bugfix update to 3.7.1. Same download location.

Why cgminer 3.7.1 does not run for me

Dud binary, my bad, reuploading...

EDIT: Re-uploaded as v3.7.2
