This may be a dumb question, but what node size are the Titan chips?

Guys!!!! Some1 Help me pleeeeease
I bought my 3 KNC Titans in june, but they just got produced today, after several months, and the LTC is already in 90USD/day with the 3 machines, what could i do???
Does the Titan mine Scrypt-N?
And what is the hash for that???
Can someone send me a tutorial for setup?
I am going to pick them in sweden next week...

KNC said it would mine Scrypt-N, but it doesn't yet do so.. In short my opinion is you gave them a loan with better terms than any bank would have since you are getting three machines which you could buy on ebay today for $3,500-4,000 each and they are not even worth that much in terms of ROI.

This reads like there will be pre-orders again, no ?!

However, due to a rapidly shifting landscape within the mining industry we're not able to announce single hardware products in the Solar range for online purchasing just yet.

Whoever sends them money this time, deserves it to be financially raped.

KnCMiner web site is currently down, so can't find more details there.

I'm a bit miffed that I found out about this from CoinDesk rather than by an email from KnCMiner. Are they not offering their 3rd gen SHA256 hardware to consumers?

You shouldn't be. KnC announced that they will end their sales towards customers and they will focus on their own big farm AFTER THEY HAVE DECLARED THAT THEY WILL NOT DO IT!

On another note, I'm trying 1.11 on my Titan now.  For those who can't find it, the download link is:

https://github.com/KnCMiner/titan/releases/download/v1.11/titan-upgrade-1.11.bin

Installing the update seemed to finally kill the included MicroSD card.  It's now full of bad blocks.  Gotta love seeing a message like this:

Quote from: fsck.ext4
Block 1 in the primary group descriptors is on the bad block list

If the block is really bad, the filesystem can not be fixed.
You can remove this block from the bad block list and hope
that the block is really OK.  But there are no guarantees.

Fortunately I had previously taken a backup of the card.  I dd'd it onto a Transcend 32gb class 10 card I had laying around, installed the 1.11 update on top of it, and now it's running once again.

So far it's running fine 4.5 hours later.  I'll see how it does overnight.

10 times efficiency and no open sell, they could command 50% of hash power, getting dangerous, hope other manufacturers could follow up on lower process nodes

What is the power consumption for a Titan that does 320MH/s?

After 2 weeks of trying different configurations/settings (PSU loads, cables, clocking, voltage, pools, difficulty, etc), I finally got the Titan running stably at ~320 MH/s. Would there be any benefit to upgrading from fw 1.05 to 1.10?
