KNC feel no sense of urgency to deliver products to their customers and don't work weekends so don't hold your breath.

When first they start selling Jupiters they make a nice YouTube video with working unit behind them. Where is now video of Scam Cole to present a titan hashing with stable 300mgs in scrypt multipool and kill a watt measure??

Why are you surprised? They stopped communication with the masses nearly a year ago.

Between the Titan clusterfuck and the "bonus" Neptunes never shipping... this makes my Super/FrankenJup (plus bonus boards) decision look like pure genius, lol.

I feel your pain guys, I really do.

Monday delivery for me too.


Anyone know what I should expect to pay at the door for this thing in Canada?

$1698.78 Sad

Mother fucker....

I wonder if you can ROI that $1698.78 with a titan   Cheesy Sad


- You missed the delivery date.
- Your Titan's power consumption is way higher then stated previously.
- Your Titans still can't reach a stable 300Mhs and cubes are getting out of order..
- Your firmware can't fix the unstable cubes.

Why did they start delivering ?

If you don't want to pay tax speak to your government but you can't blame KNC for that...noob! Smiley

 ...or if you had known in advance you could have flown there and picked it up, had a nice 3 day vacation in Stolkholm and claimed it as having a value of something less than your $800 exemption (leaving room for a bottle of Aqua Vitae of course) on your return and paid nothing in tax and STILL been ahead.
 There must be some recourse with the gov't.  If you return things to a store, you get your taxes back with your refund.  I bet there's a form you can fill out and get your taxes back or even a portion of them based on the present value.

Duty in Canada from the EU is HST + the brokerage fee. The only way you can get around is if you own a corporation, UPS will charge you $45 to get it a import license and you'll only pay for the PST side of the tax. So for my Neptune I paid 1465$ to UPS while a friend of mine paid $500 in change.



 Seriously he paid $500 in change?  What like all pennies or did he throw in some loonies and toonies? Wink

Titan owners - I have a small request for you. I hear that Titans are having issues with some firmwares, therefore I would just like to ask some of you if you could point one of your Titans to our stratum (stratum.nicehash.com or stratum.westhash.com - https://www.nicehash.com/?p=gstarted#seller) for like 10 or 15 minutes and see if your Titan can actually reach full speed (as reported on Titan and as reported on our website)? We are using some stratum extensions I would like to see if KnC integrated them into their firmware ... thanks!

FYI: since the new firmware uses BFGMiner 4.8.0 you can try setting extranonce.subscribe extension/feature to get better efficiency on NiceHash/WestHash (put "#xnsub" at the end of the pool URI to enable extranonce extension: "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub") ... nevertheless it might be a hard time for Titans to handle the work provide by our stratums since most of the time work is provided by orders for altcoins mining ... but it might be worth giving a try ... (also try  "--queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1" options).

Thx, I'll try that.
Any recommendation for 'Longpoll' and 'Retries' ?

'Longpoll' and 'Retries' are only relevant if you are connecting via getwork protocol (not stratum, for example, if you are connecting via proxy through getwork to the stratum endpoint), in this case these values should be as low as possible.

Looks like my scrap metal has shipped. Did you guys receive tracking numbers for your KNC hardware?

Nope. #201xx, paid March 21

Nope also. #2101x, paid March 27th

(we be sooooo screwed....waiting for the email saying we fixed it at 100mh as per original contract but shipping delayed till NOV for fixes)

my KNC expectations are quite dark now.....KNC is like that nice girl you moved in with ..then you find out she is 'bi-polar' ...the relationship
was great the 1st half....now you wake up in the middle of the night wondering if you put the kitchen knives away or not....



Man, your "mining"/"Girl" stories are always so funny to read!!  Grin Grin


Yeah it is all a big Yuck Yuck Yuck me getting this Titan

although....as some of you know (won't go into too many details) but I am a LEGAL miner in the USA  (due to bank error showing me making 90k of wire xfer overseas
when it was 10k for the knc unit...they made the mistake ..reported me to SEC for possible fraud (wow ....for a bit i was infamous as a drug king pin) all fixed
with a 5 min phone call AND THE FACT BEING PARANOID I filed a revised Tax Return 10 days before due....so all was well..ie the me being legit argument

anyway....everyone had a big yuck at my misfortune in forums last april/may when I told them what I had to do to salvage my ass...

BUT NOW I MAY BE OK with equip deductions (25% bitcoin machines are considered computer 100% depreciation in 5 years) my Titan (if I can play this out) really costs me around 7600 bucks
assuming my CPA can still get me out of taxes like last year (shoulda paid 4K ..I paid none) and a person could play this out as a biz

so my misfortune is not looking so bad at being a legal miner due to all this BTC drop and KNC going to the dark side.....

I can also sell coins I mined in 2013 at 1100 bucks according to the IRS that I paid taxes on at a loss get a tax break should I choose (paper loss I mined them and was holding)

so have SOME options to get some $$$ back if I need to legal wise

anyway can only do what I can do with the bad circumstances the bank tried to stick me with....maybe this will work out....I am not going to be mining next year
at home at the same scale (maybe a baby miner to show revenue stream for IRS only....to the extent it helps my tax bill ...whatever that may work out too)

but anyway.....those of you who may really really be over bought on a KNC Titan....like you have a Neptune and  a Titan or some such MAY want to talk
to a CPA and with enough equipment you could work maybe 25% of whatever your investment in equipment that you got 'screwed' on like the Titan or BFL
or whomever......desperate measures and all that...but if you are gonna take a loss and even a big loss you may as well see if it works better as a business
loss then just you eating it yourself

so yeah Titan is real amusing......in a train wreck kinda way

if you want a real laugh look at KNC's Facebook page under comments ...it is a frigging blood bath.....obviously they are not monitoring that at all

I can't believe CoinDesk has not done an article on the Titan yet like they did with the FrankenJupiter (they ignore my emails)....

well...so it goes....I'm stuck in my situation but maybe it is bad enough others may wish these options as well
