I've heard nothing so far, though the promised Y-cables showed up the other day completely out of the blue. No message or warning.

I guess we just wait and cross our fingers and pray for Santa to bring little cube presents...

I tried it out last night and it didn't work so well for me.

At first it ran fine, but after a couple hours one of the cubes stopped mining, and bfgminer kept reporting "die configuration failed" for that cube.  Upon restarting bfgminer it didn't even detect that cube at all.  After a full power-off-then-on-again it started working again.

I thought that maybe it was just a fluke so I let it run overnight, but this morning it was doing the same thing, this time with a different cube.

So it's back to 1.05 for me.

the sd card  image for titan
i must format the sd card at fat32 or simple fat?

One of the KNC SD cards broke as well on my Titan. Replacing it with a Class 10+ SD worked wonders. You can connect the rPi via HDMI to a screen/monitor and check what happens at boot time, this is how I discovered that the original SD card had problems. Copying a fresh 1.02 (full image) onto the new SD (and upgrading it to the latest version) is what I would advise to you. You can even try and boot the SD on a separate rPi B+ (if you have a spare) and check if everything is working correctly.

Good luck and god speed (in mining).

on ghash.io I was told 8192 but found that it does not seem to do much (ltc/dodge pool) on restart or power down the Titan always starts over again
at difficulty 0 and slowly thru the day creeps up difficulty

so I have 8192 in my miner area on ghash.io LTC/Dodge....does not seem to do anything but the pool took the info ok

What diff must put at Titan miner??

only thing I was told someplace on the knc forum kurt or keith told me they use a raspberry pi B+ to control the daughter board...I got one to play with anyway
..you can ask KNC if it is just a straight replacement...could get lucky and the raspberry pi is the problem?

hope this helps an you are a whale (doubtful.....)

(would have avoided all this bfl and knc silliness if i simply would have heard about mining bitcoin in 2009 ..i was bored...just took down the game server (4 towers) I mean
dang it......(has a little fit) sorry about that...

also there was some talk that the SD cards KNC uses are too slow on knc forums ....I have a maxell class 4 4gb in mine so far...think maybe I'm gonna flash the 32gb
class 10 sandisk i have around here just in case...i asked if that was too big or some such ..on knc forums ....anyway you did not mention a size SD card nor what class card
you are using....

you probably saw the thread on knc forums at www.kncminer.com but here is a link anyway

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/68003-titan-dashboard-not-loading-displaying-properly

he claims their cheap SD cards are SLOW and had it work with a faster SD card a better class then the one in the Titan....I'd contact him

hope this helps folk (great made myself parinoid that is the next thing to go wrong on the Titan ie note to self flash backup SD card in case bright white light of death
that never goes off pops up on the miner

knc titan never a dull moment

How to recover a dead controller ? After taking the advice of KNC to try to get the other 2 cubes working. It required me to constantly reboot the miners to test.

But the constant reboots might have bricked the controller now since flashing the SD card no longer works. I have also bought 2 other SD cards to test as can be seen in the image. The controller refuses to boot fully, any  suggestions ?

again this is a guess on my part but he could be the real deal and got a 2nd batch Titan already imho

same as the Jupiter 2nd batch ...they shipped 1 month AFTER THE FIRST unit shipped  (if I remember correctly I get all misty eyed about
nov 2013...) ..so they have been messing around the last 3 or 4 weeks from the first batch of Titans 300mh...
so he likely may have a 2nd batch Titan indeed

(you really think KNC is gonna wait a month between batches when my middle of the 1st batch order que Titan arrived on 11/8/14?....they maybe could
have got the rest out this week I guess ...a lot of folk stopped buying 1st batch Titans ...for a bit if I remember right ...but back to knc....not a frigging chance
they will wait a month .....the last batch Titan 300mh will be on the same pallet as the first 2nd batch titan 400mh...there will be no hiccup imho)

this would of course be easy to prove if the 2nd batch titan guy gives proof......the way knc has been ..he likely has one is my guess

we will see if my speculating works out or not.....(as well as memory...2013 november life was good for an oct Jupiter owner....)

Interesting that this FAQ has disappeared

Why are you selling the Miners and don't mine yourself (will you use the miners for mining yourself)?
We are mining ourselves, but we believe in the brtcoin project and a diversified market is the best for all parties. We will continue to mine but we do not believe in a
monopoly of miners. We will not mine with more than 5% of the hash rate we sell, and we will never mine with customer hardWare.

You are saying that you have received both the USD10,000 batch1 Titan AND a USD7,000 batch2 Titan?

Do you have some proof you can post because KnC assured everyone they would not ship batch2 units until at least one month after they finished shipping batch1 devices. If they have reneged on that assurance then its more evidence against them for those pursuing legal action to recover their funds.

as I posted above in this post with the video...they really really have to be using a lot
of this in their customer service department ....would not take a new customer service
rep long with RMA and refund requests to see we got ripped off....ah rationalizations
what would we do without them?

this!

well that is news that they are now shipping the 2nd batch Titans out...that was quick huh....

Is this 2nd batch titan really giving you 400mh or are you in the same boat as the rest of us with this firmware?

any other tidbits appreciated......

I still think (bored) I should get 4 guys together get an IN HAND Titan off ebay for like say 3200 usd in the near
future say a couple weeks....split the unit up fairly and sell the controller board back on ebay and also split $$$

the catch is we could end up with 4 cubes that did not work....or some such due to their quality control issues imho

but hey its a toy now...as close as I will get to having an unnecessary luxury item as the very rich
(oh that old sports car..I just drive it on Easter)

ahh.....thats the way to look at it.....use the No Refund No ROI Titan as a monument to my conspicuous consumption
a show of stupid wealth....act rich and eccentric (well at least the rich part)

(ie lie that I was doing it all to decentralize the network from large Swedish type data mining halls taking over)

thats my story and i'm sticking to it!

(oh the Titan..that old thing...oh ...I got it as an interesting door stop back in 2014 don't ya know
......you can never spend enough on a quality door stop)





 

I have 1 x 1st batch titan and 2 x 2nd batch running 1st batch is piece of shit in comparison ! 

2016.

I'm lurking around waiting for some feedback on the v1.10 upgrade...if it is just smoke/mirrors I will wait longer....shocked the TinkerToy
is at 308mh on ghash.io on LTC/Dodge pool..It has 1 die shut off and the another die same cube has interment voltage drops ...the other
cubes are doing more then they should from what I can tell at 300mh settings (stock) maybe by as much as 10%....so leaving it alone
anything over 300mh for this somewhat dubious miner is a gift from what I can tell on www.kncminer.com forums others are getting for
broke equipment

so will sit on hands till more info and hopefully get further lucky tweaking dies above this weekend

what burns me is on knc forum they admit the 1st batch chips are flaky and not up to snuff still no compensation of any kind
without going back on their no refund policy....must be nice to have it all your way when your product is broken....wtf ship it anyway!.
 my unit was 7 weeks late and I was in the middle of the 1st batch orders...as far as I know they are still only shipping first batch Titans...(?)

I mean are people even gonna get their free titan or free neptune this year?

Has anyone actually looked into the firmware source for these units to make sure that KnC aren't up to shenanigans?

Somebody has posted on their forum, "Did you update to fw 1.10? Cause after I did that I also get some weird coinbase errors like "coinbase check multiple inputs in coinbase"

Below is being shown (as a guess imho) as a training video for all current KNC employees
on how to justify going from being a reputable asic manufacturer to what they have
become today....

the key finding by KNC management is their best kept management secret...(there
is some controversy this video was originally part of BFL training but that is another thread)

I give you ......ta dah!...the video that allows them to live with themselves today vs
the company they were yesterday!

It is sad how the above video is probably a lot closer to the mark then I am comfortable with!
