stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub:3333


The correct URL including port is stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub

Still not working properly for me with 1.14, unfortunately. High rejects and low speed. Probably doesn't help that setting a fixed difficulty doesn't actually work properly. No matter what I set, westhash ends up resetting and spamming me with diff 20 work. I'd have to double check, but I;m pretty sure this also happens with A2 Terminators, but they handle it better than the Titanic.

If you are a "lucky" Titan owner you can try to point your miner against NiceHash (EU) or WestHash (USA West, ASIA) ... it seems that the new firmware gives good results on our multipool: http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/64472-nicehash-full-support/page3

Don't forget to add #xnsub to enable extranonce.subscribe at the tail of stratum URL string:

stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub

stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com/#xnsub

btw: if KnC will truly implement scrypt-n support as they said in the latest press release, you'll be able to benefit from multi-algo switching on our multipool (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=multialgo) - switch between Scrypt/ScryptN in dependance of profitability (current profitability is LTC+30% on Scrypt and LTC+450% on ScryptN).

Give it a try.

i tried to get it working on my titan but can't connect...
pool is dead on nice hash and westhash
i have this in pool field:

stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub:3333

also without xnsub it does not work..

any help would be appreciated

#edit#
never mind was using the same btc add as my sha 256

I see you can choose a profitability limit for the pool to come alive, p=x.xx. Where x.xx is BTC/GH/Day for Scrypt. Is it possible to limit with a precentage above litecoin mining? Something like p=10%?

Not yet, but we might add this feature in the future updates of our service.

The Titan terms of sale were very different.  

For the Titan Terms & Conditions of Sale to be applicable KnC have to deliver the product that was originally specified, which is a device capable of hashing on any scrypt coin and on any pool the customer chooses, as clearly defined by KnC's own staff back in March. Hell, even their attempt to rewrite history by claiming they were promoting and selling something they are now try to define as a 'straight-forward Litecoin-miner', falls down when there is evidence online showing that they knew it could not function on Litecoin's p2pool yet continued to ship anyway.

They didn't ship a faulty product, they shipped an incomplete one with KNOWN LIMITATIONS ON USE, so the T&C's don't apply because what they are delivering to customers is not what the customers contracted KnC to supply when they sent them the money earlier in the year.

Essential breach of contract.

At the point a customer cancelled an order after KnC explicitly confirmed that the product has LIMITATIONS ON USE, KnC is obliged to honour the cancellation and fully refund the customer because they are not shipping them the product the customer paid for.

To make matters worse, KnC threatened customers with penalties if they did not accept delivery of this incomplete product.

They knew it to be incapable of functioning as it should prior to their customers cancelling the order and they knew it to be incapable of functioning as it should when they forced shipment of it onto their customers, against their customers explicit instruction not to.

The more they hold out on fulfilling their legal obligation to honour their customer's right to cancel, the more they expose themselves to potentially serious charges related to fraudulent misrepresentation.

You have to take all their terms and conditions and question them. If Arn said their business-2-business unverified model was bogus, then they will most likely have issues with a no refund clause. Arn exists to protect consumers from operations like KfC. Kudos to thorvald for finding the right avenue for justice and sharing it with us.

^^ This. KNC's T&Cs were exactly the same for the Neptune batch one as the Titan batch one. KNC retroactively added the no refunds crap so if ARN think this B2B claim is bullshit, KNC are in a world of hurt.

I guess it's pretty clear now we're not getting our 'bonus miners' - is there any way we can collectively force a response from KnC on this promise using the Swedish/EU laws? 

The Neptune in my opinion at least - is a pretty good miner and seems really solid - but I was promised to be made good by KnC for the delay and price drop to keep me from asking for a refund, and I've got nothing from them.  If at least they'd say 'just kidding' we'd stop waiting for the extra boxes and not keep the space/power supplies needed for them free.

To be 'fair' in my opinion at least - we should be given an extended cloud mining contract for 6-10TH to make up for the lost time, but I don't have any illusions about the generosity of KnC.

Today I received the refund asked April 28.
Full refund +10%
........
    Email to Arn was sent regarding the Distance sell low , and European low regarding unfair contracts terms , and also that during the purchase and registration process no   
    information was requested and no verification submitted in regard to a business to business purchase
    In the beginning of December Arm will take knc to court for my case but I received the refund  so  I`ll close the case tomorrow with Arn

AHA! Grats on the full refund. I said in the past that KnC can't get along with the b2b bullshit! I did! I did!

Settle down folks.  Thorvald said he was after a refund on a Neptune Batch One. As far as I know Neptune Batch Zero and Batch One were always entitled to a refund based on KNC T&Cs.  His problem was a delay in payment.

The Titan terms of sale were very different. 

There was no "non-refundable" statement for the Titan batch 1...

It was for Neptune batch one .

Why were they fighting a batch 1 Neptune refund?

It seems if ARN thought you had a case and were willing to go to court, KNC's defence must have been pretty weak. I've filed a complaint with ARN and also have a Lawyer on the case for a Titan refund. So I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello

It was for Neptune batch one .

There are a lot of loop holes in eu legislation and swinish low .
If you go to court with them you have to have in mind that that will take additional money from your part and can go one some time.
Another way is to take a debt collection lawyer that  in Sweden is often very effective, since it is easy for the debt collection bureau to get information on the debtor’s assets.
That also has to go in court but only for refund request . (14 days for 2 notifications then about 50e to take to court + debt collator pay + percentage from the amount collected )

That was my next step after arn went to court .

I`ve contacted lawyers and debt collector but I didn`t had the money to go with them (they are all hungry for easy  money )
Also if your lawyer is not good you can lose and have to pay additional money to knc lawyer (for big amounts of cash over 24000 sek the amount you will pay increases )

Today I received the refund asked April 28.
Full refund +10%

The steps that I made .

1.1 Open a case at the Swedish police department for internet fraud     eta never

     Received after 3 month a letter that they are going to close the case , this come after discussions between kncminer lawyer and the police .
     Called the officer in charge of my case , it was changed 2 times , never could reach it (every time waited about 1h on phone  )
     I think all the case will have the same outcome

1.2 Open a case at ECC   eta never
    
    They did not help me because I`ve open a case at the police and alternate method was selected from my part (this is plain stupid )
    Response come after lots of emails in about one month .

1.3  Open a case at ARN  eta ~3.5-4 month
    They send 2 letters to knc about 1.5-2 month time in between
    The lawyer from knc responded at the second one (after the due date) that the purchase was made by me as a business and that I`m not a consumer, the current terms of
    sales ware added at the end of the email by the knc lawyer and also some stupid information about the product (ex: it needs a datacenter cooling it is getting very hot during
    operation , the power usage is high and it needs a dedicated power line  )
    Email to Arn was sent regarding the Distance sell low , and European low regarding unfair contracts terms , and also that during the purchase and registration process no  
    information was requested and no verification submitted in regard to a business to business purchase
    In the beginning of December Arm will take knc to court for my case but I received the refund  so  I`ll close the case tomorrow with Arn

Best

Today I received the refund asked April 28.
Full refund +10%

+10% was that the default refund amount they were told to give you or were they just being nice?  Cheesy

Do clarify, though, this must be for a different miner than the LIMITATION ON USE Titan scrypt miner?

Nicely done, by the way, congratulations for finally getting it properly resolved. I will make sure my friend's company is made aware of these developments, they are currently determined to hold KnC to account for misrepresenting the Titan's capabilities and shipping them out a product with a LIMITATION ON USE, even when they knew it had a LIMITATION ON USE and they had been instructed to cancel the order on the basis of KnC's eventual confirmation regarding its LIMITATION ON USE.

By the way, did you know that under Swedish law if you report the Titan as being faulty, you have to wait until you receive delivery of it prior to reporting it as faulty and, even then, the seller is entitled to attempt to repair the faulty product. Kinda means KnC get a free pass to dick everybody about, right?

But, here's the thing, the LIMITATION ON USE Titan they shipped out wasn't faulty, no, it works exactly as KnC knew it would work when they decided to ship 'em out quick-smart before the clock ran down on Q3. It runs as designed, with a LIMITATION ON USE that was previously undisclosed by KnC, who made no mention of this LIMITATION ON USE, when they were promoting it back in March and their staff were eagerly informing enquiring potential customers who were asking whether it would be able to mine on other coins than Litecoin and were told, in no uncertain terms, that it would be able to mine on any scrypt coin on whichever pool the customer chose to use.

Except it can't. Until they've finished making it, the product they actually advertised, the one that could be used on all scrypt coins whichever pool the customer wanted to use. Turns out KnC shipped out a different product, one that they knew they were shipping with major LIMITATION ON USE as part of its design. Your Titan is waiting for KnC to finish building it.

Steeeeeeeeeeerike THREE KNC!!!! You. Are. OUT!!!!!1!1!!!!!!11eleventy!!111!1!
