Agree on nomp, it's far better.

I can only speak to what I've witnessed, not that it's an across-the-board problem or solution, but I've seen it work just by changing pools. Not only pools, but coins as well. We went through this somewhat with the ramp from GPU->ASIC in the SHA world.

I challenge KNCminer to setup a pool, a proper Titan capable pool, for mining alt coins or/and merge mine or/and multipool - profit switching pool.

The pools are not setup to handle Titan EXTREME hash power (OMG) so KNC setup that pool. You must know how to set it up since you KNOW the pool is the issue and not the Titan or Firmware.

Show me a pool that can mine "other scrypt coins" just like is advertised on the product I purchased from you and show me that I can mine at a minimum average speed of 300mhs on it.

For everyone complaining about the pool side speed being too slow....try solo mining to a local wallet.  Setup RPC files with your worker credentials and point the miner to the local ip/port.  You will likely see the full potential of the Titan, hopefully 300MH/s, when removing vardiff stratum latentcy.  Local mine first too see your capabilities, then move to a decent pool like wemineltc.com or litecoinpool.org that can handle the extreme vardiff requirements of the Titan.

When your miner operates faster than the pools' databases, you will see defeated pool rates.

Pools cache shares and have no problems managing share insertion rates into their databases for pool hash rates that far surpass the power of a Titan or two. Nomp has demonstrated stratum protocol capacity far in excess of what a single Titan can generate even at low difficulty settings.
A better test is the one proposed in the bitdigger2013 challenge to KNC, using nomp, VIA and LTC with tcpdump running on the stratum and daemon ports.

I've said this numerous times. People seem to want to beat the KNC horse rather than try other options. I've seen GH farms work flawlessly on one pool, but crap out on other pools. it wasn't the farm, it was the pool.


Sigh … http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/62260-knc-please-setup-a-pool-with

Sure … i'm sure you could find a crap pool if you tried. GH farms usually have multiple workers each with a reasonable hash rate and are not characteristic of Titan mining, even GH scale pools. When KNC get load-balancing fixed we can put all this pool blaming to one side and address the real issue, which is the flush latency of the Titan.

We've tested with nomp, LTC and VIA. We know its not the pool.
KNC have not done the most rudimentary pool testing before releasing this alpha quality miner.
They don't even have a pool test setup.

KNC release scrypt to fix reported DC/DC problems on the Titan:
http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/61652-recent-titan-behavior-regarding-pools-dc-dc-voltages-and-bfgminer-restarts

From Kurt, on the KNC forum

You can also use the .bin file in the troubleshooting guide, under "BFGMiner Constant Restarts" to fix this issue.

Customer uwehg replies:

So you bothered to release a ONE LINE script that disables monitoring of the dcdc voltages completely. That's really pathetic for engineers that are 'working around the clock' to fix the Titan problem!


Can you say 'Sweeping the problems under the carpet' ?

Just amazing how far KNC has fallen.     Glad I got my 4 neptunes refunded and my jupiters are humming along.   

good luck to crew dealing with these headaches and stress.

I love the first gen gear.

Probably a good idea to aim a recursive wget at their forum before they start removing/editing things

Anyone else see how they carefully imsert typos or replacement words in their official statements and customer service replies?  Wink Anything they say can be taken off context in court.

Did any Kncminer products ever have the CE conformity marking? Titan doesn't, right?

Personally, Kurt is a good person we should not blame him all about this, he is a contact window between us and KnCminer, also the way he treated us is quite responsible and friendly, also he is not the one who in charge to solve such hardware and software problem, so reply question on the forum, update and follow up issue solving progressing is all what he can do about.

But shall we asking for group refund? Im kind lost believe of them.

Obviously, Kurt's hands are tied. But he is the spokesman for KNC on their forum and therefore will be on the receiving end of some pretty straight talking.  I hope he doesn't take all the criticism personally. And I hope he's looking around for a better job, because with BTC at current prices its unclear that companies like KNC have a long term future.

Actually, they take too much risk on operating financial lever, for instance, huge mining farm and APP,
they sure have long term future if they keep original promise mining less than 5% of their selling, that TOS is a very good strategy, but obviously they didn't keep it, so we'll see that consequence, but before that please send me my miner or makea refund me, I do appreciate that ~  

As their words" Neppy is selling like a hot cake", so just don't keep it over night.

Kurt, on the KNC forum today

Although there are some problems left to iron out with the firmware, you seem (from the posts I have seen across the forum) to be mixing up the issues with our firmware issues and the issues pool-side. The majority of pools today are not equipped to handle ASIC miners like the Titan. We can't really be held accountable for issues with these pools causing the hash rate to dip.

Its all the pools fault, didn't you know ?


The ensuing exchange and new thread make for entertaining reading
