I run with 2 cubes without problems (nearly zero rejects, nearly zero hardware errors, and 155 Mh/s). But two faulty cubes. one gives that error above, the other gives "failed to set workstate" and both dump BGFminer within a few minutes.

Elenelen, do either of your 2 faulty cubes work ok when used alone on the controller ?

No they don't. But the controller has it's own issues: if 4 Cubes are connected then you cannot open the Advanced-page anymore, because it times out (after 50 seconds). If 3 cubes are connected the advanced-page pops up after 30 seconds.

Can someone with a Titan confirm that the controller => cube cables are 10 pin single row .1" (2.54mm) spacing cables without keys in the connector ?

Well if KNC would open source their firmware, drivers and whatever we could maybe get this thing running better on a beaglebone.

But at this point, its not clear that there aren't also Asic design/production issues at play too.

KNC sure makes Spondoolies look like a professional organization, thats for sure.

still no luck even after upgrading fw to 1.02 and resetting to factory defaults... this is a total disaster, lost 2 days of mining revenue on this piece of crap so far... i can tell the fw is buggy as hell, even if i reduce to 50mhz it still can't handle measly 10+mh and restarts...

I've been trying 'mental games' as my way out of this mess...ie ...I'm just plain hoping I can get 1/2 of what I paid out of the beast (and I'm not even counting electricity)

treating it like a DIY kit and hobby...

helps a little ...but if I sit around and think about how far KNC has fallen in regards to customers since last summer when they took paypal credit cards and offered refunds
or other compensation ...well like writing this post I get p/o'd again

now that KNC has made between 100 and 200 million usd in last year. most of the start up on home miner $$ to feed their data farm expansions and startup costs
..and not going to be an equip maker anymore ...gone to 'arctic cloud' so

this is shaping up to be another 'frankenjupiter' mess DIY kit w/o ANY help/compensation extra cubes or anything

seems that KNC really really hates their first batch adapters of equipment these days....data hall conflict of interest and all

the thinking is now on knc forums is the frigging raspberry PI is not up to running any more then 2 cubes w/o constant resets

that would be bad

so just gonna have to mentally get it into my head that I'm gonna take a big hit on getting this combo heater/doorstop

Confirmed got scammed with one of the Titans. After upgrading to the new firmware it restarts every 3 minutes or less. Does anyone have the original firmware that came with it ?

i still didnt get my titan WTF!

well got my corsair 1200i cables and the other corsair 1200i will be here on oct 1st with the
2nd triplite surge protector 220v

amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-EURO-4-International-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411902615&sr=8-1&keywords=tripp+lite+euro

the y adapter cables long are from www.shakmods.com takes 2 days to get here from UK

so preparing everything i can ...because looks like if that all works it is the firmware shuffle so these things become more then heater/doorstops at this point

so me...not sure it matters if you get the Titan now or later....same vaporware you are mining or not in either case

so it goes with the NO ROI Titan (nickname: please do not burn out power plug and/or burn house down)

Yes: that one I get with one of my faulty Cubes as well

Well saw this post on the www.kncminer.com forums....(all hell is breaking loose on Titan products being doorstops/bricks)

Looks like the Raspberry Pi just can't handle 4 cubes from this post

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/59985-titan-advanced-screen

problems I can understand...silence rather then keeping the customer informed and no either work around or compensation to address
problem is a big red giant BFL type flag imho

guess this is what they ment

"Brace for Impact. Titan ships."

Good to know KNC is ZERO out of Three on products in 2014 that will NEVER get ROI.

Think they care about us pesky customers of equipment anymore and have not moved on to arctic cloud endeavors....well they have not
changed the prices on their product page from what I can tell in three months..the prices for what you get are a joke.

Quite the change from the company I purchased a miner from last summer. Paypal accepted, credit cards, offered refunds or compensation for
technical hic ups....(in which tech hic ups are to be expected)

the deafening silence to the roar of complaints on this forum and knc's forum must be cause they are in the bank vault counting $$$
hard to keep track of the estimated 100 to 200 million usd they have made in the last year don't ya know

If I knew they were gonna screw us this bad ..I would have expected a little dinner some dancing and some flowers for crying out loud....

finally got one cube hashing... will try with 2 now..

runnning off enermax 1500w platimax..

try these pools.. all worked for me so far.. also make sure to keep resetting to factory defaults once you've upgraded fw to 1.02.. not sure what fixed my earlier problem so i did these things:
- changed ports
- kept resetting to factory defaults of both advanced page and the system

Don't worry, you aren't alone. I'd be surprised if those incompetent fucks at KNC have sent 20 out so far.

You should be happy not to be a guinea pig !!
Those who have got Titans (like me), have spend days in frustration to get it working....

Two problems:
1) Not all cubes work well (they dump BFGminer), and it costs a hell of a time to find the problem ones.
2) when you found a working set, you will have trouble to find a Pool which can handle your speed. Most of them especially the Multi-switching pools are not usable.

All in all I lost at least 4 days of my life, and have 2 Cubes who need to RMA.

i have 4 titans up atm, and two of them is not so stable , they are keeping restart BFGminer or speed drop.
only two titans are running smooth, still wasting life on them
