Can anyone comment on whether they received a UPS tracking number once their order was marked as "Shipped" or not?

Order #1990x  Paid March 19th @ 16:43 knc time.  Switched to shipped this morning when I woke.  A few hours later, received a Quantum update email from UPS directly detailing a Monday delivery.

I eager to work on my DIY kit.  :|

KNC embedded systems team 'working around the clock' to fix the firmware:

Well it seems I won't be getting the answers I am looking for at least not right now.

I don't want to pay 3% to mine on Liteguardian. My hashrate is poor on litecoinpool.org with DOGE merge mining. I can't mine other scrypt coins without getting tons of errors and extreme hashrate volatility. So I setup my own litecoin pool.

Kind of sucks to solo mine litecoin

So I invite the Titan owners to my pool. I have setup 2 ports one for DIFF 1500 and one for DIFF 8192. Both run just as stable as Liteguardian and get me 300mhs with my Titan.

It is based on NOMP. I have set a 1.5% fee.

The most glaring Titan fault is the way it takes quite a few seconds to flush work, making it unusable for coins with low network rates and short block times. This was advertised as a scrypt coin miner, not just a LTC miner.

One user now reports that turning on load balancing and trying to split the hash to multiple pools is either broken, results in Titan instability and/or results in failure to create shares to some pools entirely.

<--- 2Boards on RMA

Sounds like KNC are shoveling this crap out the door without testing, and that their 'round the clock' efforts to fix problems in new firmware releases is a ruse to buy time. Asic problems ?

Seems to be the case from my point of view, too.
Btw, might there be a correlation between the fact that so many customers report dead dies and the fact that KnCMiner stated that there was a bad chip yield...?  Roll Eyes

chips conking whilst noncing.

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' ?

Some have stated (earlier in this thread) that they received a tracking # when their Titan was shipped. Some before it was shipped Smiley

Titan RMA demands are mounting on the KNC forum (topic: Titan 300 MH/s Titan Firmware 1.03 and bfgminer version 4.8 still restarting.)

This is simply a BS method.... I'm getting VERY frustrated now, and would like that KnC takes a real action: not fumbling with FW versions but RMA faulty cubes....

You're right RHoHo, same thing with me..

I got the same issue

This is a total cLuStErFuCk. Makes a fella thankful that he hasn't received his Titan (Brace for the Impact) yet.

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....

I have contacted the ECC and the NCA regarding the matter.

Kurt, on the KNC forum today (topic: REFUND)

Quote
We are going round in circles again and again with the same comments, if you would like to take this further then please feel free to do so if this is your prerogative , but these repetitive comments are not to the benefit of anyone. The Titan is non-refundable, this will not change I am afraid.

to paraphrase: If you don't like it, sue us or shut the fuck up

Well, i guess the Rutabagas in Stockholm have finished another demanding 35 hour work week now and are off for a chuckle at their local ...
