Yep it was out of memory, dmesg shows:

Sorry I meant to get back to you on that as you asked a while back. I did ask and Sam said right now there's a lot more that require prioritization, so re-seller portal is way down that list i'm afraid. They haven't really concentrated on marketing at all, just engineering, hence the reason with respect to stuff like adwords it's dominated by companies that aren't shipping anything, or haven't yet an tangible products. It's also why you haven't seen multiple press releases pertaining to every component they bulk ordered!

They are hiring more people, but you all have to understand there's risks as how the chips would perform that were unknowns until the chip is in hand. The other issue is hiring people that can work under this kind of pressure, speed and can read from the same hymnsheet w.r.t. Bitcoin. If you hire someone who isn't they slow you down, not maintain the momentum, or even increase it. The beauty of who they do have here is that they are very competent and are excellent in their role and as part of a team. There's a dedicated RMA team now, so that's taken a lot off my shoulders as I was spending a lot of time on that. They have engineers being interviewed all the time, a couple are starting next week, and more customer support are starting over the next couple of weeks.

Fair enough, this probably isn't the place. Right now my time is so limited that I can't pursue this in great detail, but if you'd be interested in debating it some other time and in a new thread, I would be up for that. In reading my original post, it came off as an attack. In reality, I just hadn't had my coffee yet I find a lot of your stated opinions to be similar to mine, and I like your posts. I think it would be an engaging debate.

Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now, except to say that economics is a rather serious hobby of mine. That is what initially attracted me to bitcoin, it's a novel approach to money. Not exactly fiat, not tangible, but with elements of both. It seems a worthy experiment from many different angles.

Any news on the reseller portal O'rama? I know it probably isn't too high on priorities right now, but would like to see how I did.

Some beer money sent.

Everyone should send a few dollars to this man.

over thousand pages in thread.
Seems like we need new topic "KnCminer November orders\shipping"

I am sorry that you took some heat here. We all know that you meant well and that you were pretty much a neutral party until you joined knc. But you could have known there would be a shitstorm coming your way the moment they messed up their delivery for some people while others got their orders on time. Again, not your fault, I know. It was just very very VERY badly handled by KNC.
Also, there is no dedicated customer support. There are 4 people working customer support for a multi million dolalr company. But at least those 4 are halfway competent and know their jobs.

I've been noticing this since 0.98+ and the devs are aware of the issue and are working on it.

I lost 7 hours of mining the other day as it happened at 2am and didn't catch it until I woke up.

I have now set up an alert on my phone to catch the idle notification emails and play an siren to wake me up.

1. The press release is from Alchip, not KnC. It's hardly mind control.
2. There just aren't enough bodies currently to maintain the forum ontop of all else. If you honestly think the reason is they cannot be bothered that's either naivety or ignorance. They have a dedicated customer support, the forum isn't a priority in my mind. It's one of the things they want me to work on and I'm flat refusing to be honest. I'm a bit disenchanted as to how I was treated here, entire threads abusing me, I'm not keen on more. I'd rather customer service focused on individual issues, and when/if my other work load dies down I'll consider it, but everytime I post I get multiple PMs.
3. Personally my own opinion i'e always followed and enjoyed the banter in Bitcointalk.
4. Thanks for letting me know about AST's deadlink, again it's Alchip 'a release. You can see it was posted y'day online. I presume they either added the incorrect link, or the site is down.


Edit: Here's the OG; http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20131105PR202.html

And AST's correct link is; www.ast.co.il I'll get it fixed

I can assure you that "Solaris 11.1 SRU 3.4.1." is quite different from modern linuxes regarding a lot of things (scheduler/memory allocation/IO etc etc etc). So I wouldn't have inferred  that since Solaris version XYZ has a problem then also Linux ver KYZ will behave in the same way in the same conditions. 

 

no wonder

after you "apply" a message will appear with reboot in blu...hit that!
alternatively, you can power cycle the miner after apply.. but no need.
firmware wont apply without a reboot, restarting cgmner isnt enough...

Tbe last one, Mining screen >> Restart CGMiner.

I could post a hundred references, but this isn't the place... 

wow Phoenix1969. this is bold.
citation needed at least  

Linux oom killer? Maybe this cgminer version is leaking memory somewhere. Try to execute the dmesg command and report here the output.

have you tried the new 0.9.8.1 FW?
i think it is total crap, from 100GH i went to 60
and please try to talk only about KNC issues and not BTC politics in general!

They have time to post such news, but don't have the time to participate in their own forums and help people out on their devilish products? They aren't thinking people are going to buy from them again, do they? Is making an announcement like that just a start of mind controlling techniques in the marketing world? Also, if you tried to visit that link www.ast.com that is IN their news publication it doesn't even work.

That would be a "yes"...
Unix/Linux is also known to parallel process rather slow, when having to switch between programs, or draw on several apps at once...  I wouldn't actually blame it all on the memory without knowing more, but certainly a major factor if your diff is too low imho

Could running BurtMod be contributing to the memory issue, or does BurtMod only consume a tiny portion?

Difficulty is set at the pool, not by the miner. Go to your pool's interface to change it or use a pool with a vardiff implementation. cgminer got killed likely because your device ran out of memory. There is also a --lowmem option which helps somewhat with this, but the beaglebone does have other things running consuming memory and cgminer might get targeted regardless.
