Hmm - there seems to be a major security flaw in KnC's setup ... I wonder if they'll ask me to consult on fixing it ... ...
BTW, do you have a KNC miner or have you ordered one..?

What, What..
are you going to tell us.. 
HELP.. I have no idea how to use wireshark... and cant find the ip address of the miner...
What OS?For me, I looked and looked.
Nothing showed up like described... "starts with C8. .." I saw a post that said they were Texas Instruments. Wireshark listed 2 as TexasInstr... there was a note in the descriptor.
"who controls xxx.xx.xxx? go to yyy.yy.yyy"
I plugged the yyy.yy.yyy into my browser and the gui popped up.
I only majored in IST, I don't work in that field.

is there an easy way?

you cant just look at your router list of devices before and after you turn on your miners?

its buggy as hell.. you can barely do jack with the web GUI and the caching is terrible
half of the things on the web gui do not even work
They were probably safeguards/margins in case some terminals did not work. In any case, no one promised 6 ports. I expect to be able to upgrade Saturn to Jupiter, but not further.
AHEM! This photo is what they describe as their controller board and you see 1 2 3 4 5 6https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-39
I am more worried about those capacitors. Everything else seems like nitpicking.
KNC promised to take care of the customers who gave them a free loan of millions to start their business. This ^ does not do that.
I will admit I was pretty annoyed when I seen them open a Chinese version of the website. I take it the network protection statement means nothing now?
On the flipside, how many Chinese can actually afford these miners?
Fucking millions. They aren't all riding bikes in coolie hats these days. In my local uni there are 5 to 10 thousand chinese students and coming to live here to study for 4 years with no finance isn't cheap. They are a long way from poor.
China will be massive. Bitcoins are a lot more useful for them than for us. Remember the gold mining farms they used to run?
Check the ratio of mercs bought , China almost equal to the US and it's same for all luxury car makers. They have loads of cash to spend http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/05/mercedes-september-sales-best-in-87-years/

I do not think the capacitors are bad, I am almost certain that they are not being placed correctly.
The pic that I linked in my last post shows the cap in question being skewed. Mine also was similar, but not quite as much as the one in the link.

Im pretty sure that apparent angle is a result of the fire/explosion, no?
I don't think so, but I didn't witness the failure, just the aftermath.
It would have needed to reflow itself, but just a wee bit goofy?
2 of the pics I have seen show the cap in the original position.
1 pic shows 2 caps moved and 2 parts missing.
1 pic shows cap ofset in a direction opposite direction of exhause gasses from explosion.
Small surface mount parts self align during reflow even if they are placed slightly crooked due to surface tension of melted solder. It's cool to watch.
I can confirm is a stale party indeed, flushwork seems not very good. Got a huge rate of stales.
I think the flushwork is some weird cron job. Both my Jupiters showed the flushwork line at the same exact time
I do not think it is doing it intelligently
They seem not to be handling well the flush work at pools request, they are sending a lot of bad work and hence the stales and the lower hashrate especially on the pool
.95 best address this
I'll bet you .95B that it doesn't...

Hmmmm. Lightning Gold did you say ?
Which model of PSU did you orginally use?

did the psu shut down itself after the burn? or was the miner still running?
Amen!

Are you joking? Don't you watch any financial news? The Chinese economy is off the hook. They 
Lol, learn to numbers, pl0x.
China GDP per capita: $6,071
US GDP per capita: $51,704
Almost an order of magnitude, dood.

Their great trade surplus doesn't mean their people are well off. The majority work for pennies on the dollar when manufacturing stuff for the rest of the world.
I wasn't talking about the low paid workers. You think someone assembling iphones wants to buy a bitcoin miner? Of course not.I was talking about the Chinese middle class.

Had no idea that many Chinese people were well off. I generally don't trust whatever the IMF is sourcing.
Half a billion, wow. I guess selling there is definitely a concern then. I'm tempted to just cancel my November orders now. So much for Network Protection Statements. That was just to fill in the October orders I guess.
