trying to figure out what you are going on about
I am the host for Redacted's box, So I am the one who shipped the broken modual off, and he and I have been in very close communication.

Well that clears things up much more.

Hey for those that are bitching about ROI. Guess what. with bitcoin going up your machine has a better % of making that roi.. glee imagine that.  Shocked

Actually its the opposite. Increase of bitcoin exchange rate means that more even hashing power will be sold and you will mine less BTC, and mining BTC is all the machine does and what you bought the machine for. If you wanted a dollar profit speculating on a BTC price increase, you should have bought (or held)  BTC.

wake up!!!   smart people use OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY to invest..  as in 0% interest rates for a year to buy a miner

don't you learn anything from Wall Street??

Yes, if anyone used btc/cash in hand to buy their miner these days that person doesn't understand time value of money, but seriously, why is this SIMPLETON mentality held in so high esteem around here?  It is just dogma.

Now I can use any money made from my jupiters to run arbitrage through the exchanges if I want..  ALL AS FREE MONEY FOR A YEAR

understand now why your BTC in to BTC out doesnt work anymore??  Too many people understand that they can make profit even if the miner makes less BTC than what it was worth at time of sale...

Hi,
 
Please write in large writing on the box RMA 131029-12 and send the board back to the following address:
KnCMiner
Birger Jarlsgatan 33

Sweden
We will review the cause of the issue and get back to you as soon as possible with the new board.
 
Thanks
Emilia
 

Your return arrived today, was processed and repaired today, and left here by courier today.

In and out the same day.

That two week stuff is nonsense, you weren't even issued the RMA until the 29/10/13 (last Friday) it's in the RMA code itself.
It looks like KnC should have gotten it last Friday, but UPS royally fucked up the address somehow. [Even though I handed the store the email from KnC, and they packed+shipped it]
https://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/track?HTMLVersion=5.0&loc=en_US&Requester=UPSHome&WBPM_lid=homepage%2Fct1.html_pnl_trk&trackNums=46808822179%0D%0A&track.x=Track

I owe you an apology for that.
But as far as the time line goes, it still took a week to get the rma number... CS just kept delaying it.

EDIT:
I got just off the phone with UPS. Not only was the address provided in the RMA email wrong (according to UPS), but it still has not been delivered and is scheduled for tomorrow.... meaning either you or UPS is lying. The tracking would indicate UPS is right... and at least my UPS Account Rep has the decency to get back to me in a timely manner.

Haha. You also blatantly lied about it having been received. Now have confirmation from both UPS and KnC that it has not arrived... care to explain yourself?

"Hi,
 
This has not yet arrived at our location. Could you please provide a tracking number so that we can chase it?
 
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Thanks

BTW, KNC Does hold the world's record for ASIC's
and they are about to deliver Gen 1.5 while HF & CT are stuck...
Guess what... 1.5 has hardware upgrades as well....
You think 1000+ pages is bad....   just wait....
BTC price on the rise =
I smell a asic buyin' Frenzy coming.
How long you think November orders will be available... ?

Bunch of blind classics.... piss, Moan & whine....  You can all kiss my shiny white Jupiter. I bought a November Jupiter, and am hoping to squeeze in another order before they stop taking Nov. orders....
and here are the doofuses talking about Refunds. If my investment can double itself in hashpower in just 21 days I'm ahead of the game...
I'll be pissing on the smart-ass comments, just like 2 months ago when BFL_Josh's bandwagon was telling me I would "Most assuredly be disappointed".
It's like the deaf leading the blind sometimes in here.
You will be kickin' yourselves in the arse for not getting more hashpower when BTC is at 2 grand....
Laugh at me all you want.
The trolls who told me I'd never ROI are just......just.....
(use your imagination)



Wow thank you KNCMiner for making sure the exchange rate increased. Now I don't feel so bad about the 2 weeks delay for which I missed on around 20BTC  Roll Eyes

Name a company that did better......

hm, that sucks
This might help you:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#

MIN_RAM_IN_BYTES=1024

while true; do
    # get free RAM left
    ramLeft=$(free -mt | grep Mem | awk '{print $4}');
    # check if it is still sufficient
    if [ "$ramLeft" -lt "$MIN_RAM_IN_BYTES" ]; then
        # do what you want, like
        #   pkill screen;
        #   screen cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf'
        # or
        #  /etc/init.d/reboot
        ...
    fi
    sleep 5; # sleep for 5 seconds
done

Save this as file, chmod +x and then start it through screen on your miner.
It checks all 5 seconds the free memory, in case it's below MIN_RAM_IN_BYTES you can restart cgminer or even reboot the miner

Hi all,

in case you are making use of this new quota feature of cgminer (since v3.6.6 I believe ?) you will experience a broken config in your webinterface even if it's fine for cgminer.

copy it to file and save  it as 'allow_quota_for_pools.patch'
as next put the patch into '/www/pages/' on your miner OR download '/www/pages/miner_setting.html' and open a terminal in that folder
then patch your webinterface

Code:
patch -p1 < allow_quota_for_pools.patch

Note:
changes are gone after a reboot

Someone will be along to explain the other side of that soon no doubt lol

It's been explained so many times already, I'm not sure it's even worth trying anymore. Either you get it or you don't. Still, I am happy about the price increase though.
If I had only bought bitcoins when I couilda woulda shoulda instead of buying my miner .... I would have sold back for fiat the moment it went up 5%!

I am using the executable ckolivas most recently posted about, supposedly 3.7.1

I don't have an ARM development machine nor know a thing about cross-compiling on Fedora 17 or 19 for ARM machines.

I have run over 48 hours before dying  sometimes, even over 72 maybe. Actually maybe it didn't die like this until they released a release that had a ckolivas version in it, hmm I wonder if that one is/was stripped? Hmm... I am not sure when I first encountered this "mystery dying" problem, seems liek it ran quite a few days originally.

I killed it to try running strip on it on the beaglebone, that is how I discovered they dont' seem to have strip on that. But now it shows in web page as 282 so maybe its not goign to lose much by using --lowmem option afterall. I do wonder how much RAM the debugging symbols are consuming though...

Hi Mark, just a FYI

Another 24 hours running the same setup (0.96 with 3.7.2 cgminer) and my memory footprint hasn't changed cgminer is still fluctuating between 23% and 25% memory.

However, overall system memory has dropped to only 127MB free. So something is using up memory on the system over time, but its not cgminer.

Are you guys kidding?
I was contemplating a November Jupiter...
and went thru the numbers, and made all the predictions in my usual way, and I came to the conclusion, that a November Jupiter is definitely worth it, and spent the 17.6 BTC, of my 27BTC I made in the first 20 days, to order it moments ago....
And I'm stoked about it...
Think about it...
The November units may even deliver before HF & CT get their act together!

In a hindsight, it must suck to lose about a thousand bucks in less than day.

Are some people getting paid to talk positive about KNC?

I think some people ARE KNC.

Avenger has made several posts which are negative, yet 100% accurate. If that's poisonous he didn't make the poison, he's just reporting it.

On a brighter note.. I just woke up to see us hovering around the 300 exchange rate.  Smiley That I would never have guessed even a week back.

I think some people ARE paranoid.

When you have a large production run of any product, there will be some units that have problems.

The people who have problems are many orders of magnitude louder than the people who don't.

In the end I think the vast majority of people, positive or negative are just providing feedback on their experience and trying to help each other out.

Actually its the opposite. Increase of bitcoin exchange rate means that more even hashing power will be sold and you will mine less BTC, and mining BTC is all the machine does and what you bought the machine for. If you wanted a dollar profit speculating on a BTC price increase, you should have bought (or held)  BTC.
