Yeah, Cts miner looks like a BFL job all over again....   and no real credentials at all... just smoke, no links to the fabulous company's websites they speak of....   All claims, and zero proof. No linkdn, no profiles, references, or past projects to even check up on when they claim they've been doing this since the stone age....(1975)wow, before the web existed.....amazing. Did microprocessors even exist then?  ...and they look 20ish... and the info on the "about us" page literally changed since last night from starting this in may 2012 to may 2013.... They claim to have made chips for..  Aircraft Testing, Remote Switchgear Operation, Stock Control, Instrumentation, Oil and Petrochemical Exploration, Marine Science and Environmental Control.... and not a single affiliate listed, not a single customer listed in a way we can check the background. Total Bullshit. Obvious scammers, and bad liars. Michael Richardson supposedly went to Cambridge... we could check that, that's it.  Oh, and a working prototype on Jan 22nd, but three months to deliver from there?  Must be an fpga, in which case, they lied again.. oh... "some changes to the internals have had to be made to the CirrusMine product which is why unfortunately we have been unable to supply you with detailed internal shots" Yeah, good excuse.
Total fishiness throughout the site. How could they possibly afford to almost fully develop a 5Th/s 20nm machine with no venture capitol, and not have a single picture?

KNC may have had terrible stick drawings, but had mass credentials to back up their claims, and a traceable history, which is why I chose KNC early on.
 
 No credentials & no history to check = no $ from Ewik

Nigerian princesses still send out emails telling me that daddy died and left a gold mine they no-one wants but I can have for a small 10k fee if I help them claim it. They do this because they know most people won't believe it, but there's one who will born every day Smiley

What ever happened to the tuning suite for November miners?  I have some with cores out that would be nice to fix. Seems like KNC is still on vacation.  Is January a month-long holiday in Sweden?

Game is on 5TH is new 3TH. Intresting times at this gold rush. I would not trust anything beyond few months. Chinese are the wild card here when they mass produce something 10000units is just initial number. Bitmine is minting $$$ now and upgrading their production speed.

KnC may not be the first to ship 3TH

The offer in that Internet page, ctsminer.com, is an obvious attempt of fraud.

have we an overview of how many neptune refunds there were?


well i'm in for 2 neptunes one batch 1 (very earlynumber) one batch 2 (very early number).... so 2Th for around $7,788.67 is my share.
My two the brothers wanted in after my Oct Jupiter success and I asked them about about dumping the 2nd miner but like all noobs
(i remember that is what i thought) they want to keep the miner....ah miniing the security blanket when i was a noob.........

buying BTC straight if i can rember back that far was too scary..(ah...my noob youth when I ordered a jupiter i think btc was 150 bucks or so..sigh).....

so if things get real weird in 1 month i re-float the idea of dumping the 2nd neptune....but till then....will have to see what happens

but truth be told with the kind of difficulty rate we will have this year..especially for people just experimenting with usb miner lots of people around the world in my view...
ebay coming on board etc or whatever even at a loss on all this just all those people scrambling to learn and to
just to get into bitcoin..i am thinking a massive amount of folks jumping in at least a little.....the good news is lots of people..the bad news ROI or NO ROI that is gonna be a lot of hash

imho diff will go up hit a high in march/april and probably just stay at the diff percentage thru till fall or so.....it is gonna be nuts....

so again imho (remember i know zip just saying) when we are looking at 20k machines this fall that mine 0.10 btc from the get go. and are happy at that then...BTC had better go up
as a result of all this renewed hype about bitcoin...or quite frankly we are all scr*wed.....that much difficulty and GH and the price flatlines and goes down would be well...shudder....

but again imho .....it may take a while but even then probably less then a year....and the long way around but I should get more then ROI back (of course the arguement is probalby correct that i'd get more if
i dumped 2nd neptune or both now and buy btc)...but if this is what it takes to get the brothers some BTC so be it

the joys of bitcoin .....never a dull moment....

crosses fingers

Searing

p.s. if it was just me i'd dump the 2nd neptune and probably be pretty "puckered up" on the 1st neptune to tell you the truth....i will revist this in 1 month with the brothers thou....



After reading the first few lines, I thought it'd be stupid to read this entire post. But, I did... and it was. I am mentally numb now and where is up? What's your point? I respond and ask because I'm so completely confused by the way your thoughts end up in text on my screen.

Have you tried going to the Advanced menu and bumping the voltage on that core?

Usually works for me.

Yeah I did reset to defaults to see the defaults but still all four voltages for that ASIC were blank.

So I tried setting all four to the same defaults the other one was showing but still the table to the right was empty/blank.

This RMA sounds good guess I will try that. Well first check cables and such since I will have to open it up anyway to get the board out. I was starting to think I wouldn't need those special screwdrivers, I guess they will come in handy afterall.

Anyone got any tips for what to do with a board that has all 48 cores off??

RMA it

Cheers, was hoping it wouldn't come to that Sad

you can bring it back, but usually they end up shutting off again if they have a history of it...  (letting it heat to 82c, adding more volts, etc)

if restarting cgminer doesn't bring a die back right away you usually will be baby sitting it if you ever do get it back

Do these things have warranties?

-MarkM-


yeah you can RMA it if it is dead..  you pay your side of the shipping but it will be replaced

only other thing is cables i heard that a guy had a problem with the power cable to the beaglebone from the power supply being loose ..crimped up the
inside pegs and viola it works

i guess you could also just bypass the blue is it (?) on the newer units cables that come with the Jupiter and simply directly plug from the power supply

and of course just the power supply may be the issue

sorry if all this has been done ..with me it is always something simple that really mucks up a project

The thing had actually worked well originally, I seem now finally to abe having the kinds of problems so many people started up with right out of the box.

Anyone have any idea what the thing was that would turn all the dies or ASICs or whatever back on?

Or are these newer firmwares supposed to include all that stuff themselves already?

-MarkM-


how much do you want for the dead board??  i bet a few people here would take a chance on it

I would but I only have 1000w PSUs and with 5 boards overclocked on each jupiter i am at ~910w already at the wall

Actually I hoped it wasn't really dead but that if I can find that turn everything on again script it will turn the thing back on.

Too much to hope for eh?

No other manufacturer even has a 3TH miner on the drawing board!
You do know Cointerra are *in production* with a 2TH device? These devices are going to be tested and certified, so most will be hashing at... 2TH.

If lots of people have 2TH hashing, it's not going to be long before they push what you can earn with 2TH down to nothing.

The very first Jupiters out of the gate were mining 1.5BTC a day. Three months later, that is down to 0.15BTC a day. And that was while none of the major manufacturers were shipping anything!

It's almost certain that knc will not ship neptune for at least 3 months [REDACTED/]if they don't tape out before chinese new year[/REDACTED] lol

Food for thought?
