is there a list of commands for stratium? or just point it to the correct url with user and pass and let it run?

Does this come with an instruction manual?  Cheesy

Will we need a stratum-mining-proxy to avoid getwork penalties on Slush with KnC machines?  Would restarting the mining proxy hourly give a similar return improvement with KnC machines?  I don't think this would be hijacking the thread but for those who think it might, sorry.

cgminer (the software that KnC has said they are using) is fluent in Stratum.

no proxy needed


Will a PSU Tester like this one

do the trick and power on the miner?


That should work.
All they do is measure the voltages.


The testers that are _NOT_ apropriate for long term use are testers that test under load.
They make your power supply work hard to see if there are under load problems

They will get as hot as anything else that is consuming 500-1500 watts.

They typically cost LOTS more than the voltage measuring testers that people have posted.

EDIT: there are inexpensive 'load' testers that are to be AVOIDED for this application.
an example is here

And here are a couple good power supply load tester pron links (for those interested in such things)

YMMV

I bought a couple of these on amazon, and whether the concerns about long term use are valid or not I do not know, however like my pre-order I am betting that they can at-least handle the load for 3-4 months and I will be inspecting them daily so, its an acceptable risk for me... Time will tell however.

These are simple devices and I'd imagine the bulk of the load is simulated over a resistor or a transistor based current limiting circuit, which usually fail open if they fail at all. I might open one up and inspect one to be sure. If I do, ill let you know what I find and possibly post some pictures for analysis.

There were some questions raised about whether those are designed for long term use. Not sure whether that is a valid concern or not

Hi all, I did a network hashrate prediction three months ago (was quite accurate) based on which I decided not to invest in KNC.
Just being curious - did anybody try to calculate a break-even scenario based on actual values ?
1150 Thash/s Bitcoin total network hashrate now.

godspeed to everybody !

It's highly unlikely that people who pre-order have done a mining feasibility calculation with realistic figures, this is what the vendors count on. Most miners have no idea if they are making a profit, you can tell by the number that dump their coins on the exchanges for less than it cost them time mine.

We will in the upcoming weeks opening our order book to allow the purchase of our first set of ASIC miners. They are in the early stages of development now and will be ready in the summer of 2013 (yes in just a few months)

Now that summer is officially over, are these ready?

KNC announced a target delivery of latter part of September before they accepted any payments.

wow, nice strategy. I'm on slush with quite constant 60 GH/s with 3 BF-H-cards. I get around 0.5 BTC daily at the moment. I see there is space for improvement, thank you  Smiley

What the shit!?  How you getting .5 a day?  I'm on Slush as well with 60GH/s and only get .23 a day...

Using stratum?

1. Sorry for the OT
2. Yes

Will we need a stratum-mining-proxy to avoid getwork penalties on Slush with KnC machines?  Would restarting the mining proxy hourly give a similar return improvement with KnC machines?  I don't think this would be hijacking the thread but for those who think it might, sorry.

I have a flight scheduled Friday, to meet/beat the miners to the Batcave...  and I'm still confident they will ship on-time. (Early order num 5x) I actually cancelled a later flight(30th), to get one for the 27th...  and I still think that was the right decision.

wow you're going to pick up your miners in person !??!
I was referring to the place I'm setting up the miners...sorry.. I have 43 cent elec at home in hawaii, so I'm setting them up in a 2.7 cent situation in mainland US. For the price I would pay here, I got climate-controlled secure-facility hosting, and still have $ left over.
