Do not use Eligius, I had the same problems. The miner doesn't flush the old work when asked and continues to submit them to the pool.
It seems P2Pool is also impacted.
If MINER "doesn't flush the old work when asked and continues to submit them to the pool"
than it doesn't matter what pool to use because that's miner problem
I'm now using another pool with Stratum and it hashes nicely.
I just changed pools, the firmware is the same.

which pool are you using now?

I'm mining @ slush... and this is what I get for a block that last for only 7 minutes: 0.08573308 btc with 2 jups.

usually I got something like 0.19/0.24.

every time we found a block very early I got less than I use to have with longer block because "The miner doesn't flush the old work when asked and continues to submit them to the pool."
every time stratum notify a new block this is what I get:

Code:
[2013-10-09 19:42:36] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
 [2013-10-09 19:42:36] KnC running flushwork
 [2013-10-09 19:42:36] KnC: accepted by FPGA 1 works, but only 0 submitted
 [2013-10-09 19:42:36] Rejected 00815da7 Diff 506/326 KnC 0  (Job '26017' not found)

after those log my hasrate takes a while 10-20sec to climb up to usual level.

quoted the post where gigavps (admin of giga's semiprivate poll) confirm this behaviuor

Well Jupiters don't play well with p2pool.  They remind me of the early BFL FPGAs, they are extremely slow to recover when they get new work.  Anyone have any settings to to try out?

What's exact stats you're getting? How many DOA?

I am seeing higher stale rates from KNC equipment so it looks like they are not flushing work when the stratum server requests but are instead finishing old work and submitting it.

ok, so I can see the ip address on wireshark, dos ipconfig, and in adapter settings... but when plugged into the browser...nada


ill donate my first btc to the genius who fixes it
Go to your 24 hour walmart and buy the first wireless router that you see and 2 ethernet cables.  Unplug your pc from your internet source and use one of the ethernet cables to connect from the WAN port on the router to the internet service port that previously serviced your pc.  Plug your pc into one of the other ports on the router.  Connect the Jupiter to one of the other ports on the router.  Power the router up.  Power the Jupiter up. Enjoy.  I'll pay for the parts.  Just send the balance of the BTC to me. Smiley

Anyone get a status change on their order that is not Day 1 or Day 2 with a pay date later than June 18th? sbfree, did you ever get a status change other than "in progress"? You're the latest order I've seen so far. I wanted to keep the shipping log updated, but have jack squat for good data. KnC CS is nice, but don't know what the factory is shipping at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I just checked my acct. on KNC, still 'in progress' and no emails. Arousedrhino, i believe was in around 19xx, and in progress, has said he received tracking number...i think his pay date was june 18th (not sure though), but item hasn't actually moved....

arousedrhino, clue us in, thanks.

Pay date was June 6th and I have seen movement, its in Germany right now, expected delivery on Friday the 11th.

Thanks! I appreciate the updates.

Hi all,

my Jupiter was nasty last night:

Today i woke up and he wasnt hashing anymore and i cant access the miner per web/ssh anymore either.

I didnt want to switch off the PSU cause there was a rumor that switching off and on again could possibly hurt those caps that burn from time to time.

So i just pulled the network plug and put it back on. And now thats STRANGE: he immediatelly started to hash again at full speed BUT the case-front fans stopped working at the same time.
When i pull the network plug again they start running again. I plug them in they stop. And so on.....

Whats wrong here?Huh?
 

it's getting stranger and stranger.... there's some electrical problem somewhere. try to call/email KnC about this issue

If you let it cool a bit and not switch it on/off fast as i never do.
When i switch of this kinda devices i let them rest for say 15 to 30 seconds before turning them on again
Then their should not be any problems, at least that was allways told by the engineers from all big firms i used to work with.

So long story short...

My sexy night with Jupiter Smiley

I found the good port to the boards. Now it's hashing with about 500Ghs. But sometimes I have the FPGA issue but only one line in cgminer then it dissappears.

2 of may hash modulse runs at 81-83C. So more cooling capacity is needed for sure.

Ift the temperatue drops down from 81C to 71C the hash rate goes down. So it's a self defense I think.

I don't want to give tips but heat and something in the fpga code are the issues.

And yes, I started my run from 380-400Ghs.

Now I'll buy 4 big capacity fans wich provides high air pressure (not airflow).

But I still have to say these guys are made wonder in 4 months, thats for sure. Mistakes can found everywhere so chill down and try to solve the issues.

So, which are the good ports on yours? I cant seem to find them on mine Sad

how about SLUSH'S POOL anyone know or is this just across the board?


Slush works for my jups.

@edgar: Does that rant translate into 34xx? Smiley Better to keep calm and allow for some of the less tempered people being on edge and occasionally snapping. I am looking at both you and Redacted.

Ok so finally my order is shipped 8xx day 2 payment, and it will take only 11 days to arrive ..i am so royally, majorly and monumentally screwed .....
Man, where do you live.. Antarctica? (Or were you joking?)

Close enough (difficulty wise) ...middle east ...

maybe if you put aluminium Heatsink For Motherboard DDR VGA RAM Memory IC Chipset Cooler W

is better does anyone know Huh? Wink Wink Wink Wink


well my only hope for the heat problem is my "Minnesota basement" ie if that won't cure the heat problem or improve gh I don' tknow what else you could do

well then someone needs to design a better fan/heatsink combo imho

if no change when cooling in the bsmt I guess that will tell us something too

But of course the most important point being firstly that they seem to think that cgminer showing that on the screen is all the proof they needed.
Yay cgminer Smiley

Pity they wrote the driver and fucked up cgminer's reputation ... well ... we didn't have anything to do with their driver code.
[/quote]


This is probably a really dumb question but there is no way presently to run any other miner on KNC units but the cgminer they include....(man that's dumb)

I gather this is so or i'd see a lot more people jumping from their software?

anyway heard author of bfgminer is gonna make a version wonder if it will be part of in house project or stand alone with laptop etc

Still on Day1 / Day 2, judging from this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249065.0;topicseen

EDIT: Ninja'd by Frequency  Grin To add something more informative: order numbers don't play a role, payment dates do.

EDIT 2: Phoenix1969, didn't you receive your miners with 5x number? It's not reflected in the list.

thank you! unfortunately KnC is not very transparent with order/payment date! :/

EDIT: By the way, when talking about diff increase, remember that KnC equipment is also contributing. So if your equipment hasn't got delivered yet, then the difficulty will be proportionally lower. Don't put too much store by all those calcs.


I'll keep that in mind but I'm quite the "savant" on my ability to be 'incorrect" (worse case) on this ASIC MINER stuff since BFL and April (hey its a gift)

so between my track record and the calc's its a hard choice imho
