Topic: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com - page 179. (Read 3049514 times)

it's a ploy to make their customers beg that KfC should mine with the rigs first - to *cough* test them

on www.ghash.io LTC/Dodge pool I was told 8192 in worker area

but

the Titan always seems to start from 0 and moves up its own way ...took it a day to get to 4192 for example

1st hour you will show lots of stale shares and low diff mining ....slowly over time calms down

check the KNC forums...but power 2 cubes on with 1 power supply first then the other 1 working cube each PSU maybe?

they will tell you to re seat the power plugs if you contact knc tech always say that

if you have 2 750w power supplies likely it is NOT enough to work...or so some have said try 2 with a bigger PSU's i've heard

others on here will have more advice all that comes to mind

and of course follow this on the knc forum site

Thanks for this post was gonna upgrade to v 1.10 but if I can only do the www.ghash.io LTC/Dodge pool anyway ..my motivation kinda wained

right now (I have 3 cubes that seem to be 'OVERCOMPENSATING' from their KNC parents and hashing well beyond what they should be
and with 1 cube with 1 DIE off...got 308gh yesterday on www.ghash.io so i'm kinda shocked.... an another die same cube with intermittent voltage problems
to boot it should not be doing this well....

..so heck...it is a frigging miracle
with 1 die dorked and the other die on that same cube dropping voltage I'm getting these hash rates imho

(have not looked into such could probably play power down tweaks etc...but would prefer to do that if/when
I got v 1.10 up and stable ..on crisis at a time or will add dead cubes power down issues to this miner.

...was waiting to upgrade to 1.10 etc but kinda seeing the horror stories on what you said above and the need to reflash
SD cards ..now you saying a cube is down....I'll wait..either for folks to have a fix/walk thru or whatever it is not like
with no refund KNC has any urge to act quickly imho

we have a major snowstorm coming...if the power goes done MAYBE I will play with cubes some on restart....(sad have to wait for an
act of nature to have a power off on the miner ....due to issues with firmware on power up and down)

but no idea why it is hashing that high with 1 die down and 1 die flaky .....yesterday the ave was 308mh ..wtf go with the flow...

so will instead FLASH the 2 Sandisk 8gb class 10's I was able to find at best buy for $12.99 the last 2..wallmart/target/etc zippo none but 50 buck
32gb off brands...so lucked out there always plenty to do for prepping the Titan ("hey I"m a doomsday KNC asic prepper should get a TV show)

figure it is just a matter of time till I get a reboot and see the "bright white light that never goes off" beam of miner trying to morph to brick and at
that point ..may as well have some SD cards ready to go...should that be the case....

still think working with these Titans is like trying to juggle 'hummingbirds'

on and yesterday in a public post (see www.kncminer.com forums) Keith (tech support staff) said that multipools work just fine with v1.05
so yeah.......much double speak in KNC land...posted the day before 1.10 annoucement

and for all of us who thought we were buying a state of the art 'ALT COIN MINER' so sorry everyone....it is now a half assed kinda sorta works
LITECOIN miner...but too bad....KNC says... no refunds.....don't let the door hit you in the ass as leave the building

hope the guys doing the litigation/lawyers/class action and such are keeping notes on these threads

anyway suggest everyone make a SD copy of 1.05 and 1.10 on some SD cards....just in case when/if it goes dorky or you feel it is kinda safe
to upgrade I plan on yanking the card out on the upgrade in case i have to go backwards and just flash a new card...

again thanks for above post ..will sit on hands a bit longer (never a bad policy if the miner is running in some manner beyond your expectations.....low
thou they may be..)  see what develops on fixes by customers or work rounds the rest of the weekend

Are you listening KnC? You do remember the sales description includes the phrase "all scrypt applications"? Entirely absent, however, was the phrase, "Except fast block time coins and . . . "

Try paying attention to this phrase, KnC, "Essential breach of contract".

knc really blows this days

Had the same problem. Try the factor reset and cables unfortunately my  2 cubes were just DOA so they have to be RMA, so no choice if you cannot get it to come to live

I got my Y-cables the other day too... just 5 though, enough for one Neptune. I would have had more confidence if they would have sent 10, 5 for my Neptune and 5 for my soon-to-be-arriving bonus Neptune.

Maybe the bonus Neptune will include Y-cables.

Maybe they have a few more Datorhalls to fill before they ship the bonus Neptunes...

Let's make sure they don't forget about the bonus Neptunes that they promised!

Note: I'll be sticking with my Y-cables from bitcointalk user Cablez, they are solid quality and are working just fine.

also what dif to put a titan

First try System --> Reset to factory settings, then enter your pool info again and see if it detects all the cubes.

That's what I had to do.

form the 4 cubes the board recognized only 2 cubes the other 2 is off

i must sent it for rma to knc??

Just did the exact same thing to me. v1.10 is borked. Back to 1.05 here too.

the pool is with stratum or not at titan


stratum+tcp://ltc.ghash.io:3333

no idea how it is possible but KNC shipped my RMAd items within 2 days after they got them.

i also got titan finally now.

v1.10 is borked for fast block time coins and probably p2pool. Just tested solo mining VIA.

Seems ok for solo mining LTC using nomp. R:% is still settling. This is on a machine @325 with 1 dead die -->


We're seeing some anomalous behavior with respect to flushes, rejects and stale shares whose cause isn't completely clear at this time.
Upgrade from v1.05 went without mishap.

[EDIT] Spoke too soon. Just had an entire cube go offline -->


A power cycle recovered it. 1.10 is totally borked. I'm backing out to 1.05. POS Titan.

A 32GB card should be fine, but I wouldn't buy one off eBay.  Too much chance of getting a counterfeit.  I'd buy from Newegg or somewhere equally reputable.

Personally I'm going to leave the original SD card in mine until/if it starts having a problem.  If that happens, I have some Transcend 32GB class 10s laying around that I use in my other Pis that I can take and use for the Titan.

that's deep 

  Yes but the belief disappeared long before that...

I re-looked at my SD card in the Titan (still working) it is a Kingsington 4 GB Class 4   so..would size matter I have here a Sandisk 32gb Class 10...

(no zip about this stuff don't want to overtask the raspberry Pi or some such)

anyway if he 32gb works fine..if not will just grab a 4gb or some such of whatever class version you think is best here you guys think on the forum off ebay 

fun fun more stuff to be paranoid about going wrong in the future...should dig up a boy scout poster on ebay "be prepared' and hang it behind the Titan

here ya go.....
