Correct , hours and hours of work go into development. There is many more updates coming. A whole new gui look with new professional graphics and more are down the line. There are big costs involved. We tried the volonatry donation route, and there was a total of 4 people that donated, and I was one of them. This was not enough funds to get us where we want to be. The small amount that is made goes back into the development fund. If you REALLY want to support this coin, buy premium with free lifetime updates. Also it would be a VERY good idea to buy premium now as the cost may go up in the future. In return we will use these funds to bring you the greatest titan miner, EVER! IN the USA where im from, if we really like the work a team has done, we show our support, and vote for that product with our dollar, as we want to see that project, not only survive, but grow.
ANY project will stop if the money runs out, please keep this in mind. This is better than ANYTHING KNCminer can dream up, and we are just getting started
More ideas in the works down the road (premium only):
I have worked hundreds of hours modifying my titans to run as cool and as stable as possible at clock speeds (300mhz , batch 2).
There is loads and loads of information , I will share with premium users on "do it yourself" hardware mods that are cheap and easy to do.
It will be a step by step manual full of instructions , and pictures on the best ways to keep your titans running stronger, cooler, and lasting longer.
Just one of my mods is a 3 to 1 PCI-E cable , with VERY thick gauge wire. This allows you to plug 3 pci-e cables from your PSU into 1 male 6 pin pci-e connector, for
MUCH less heat on your DC/DC.Thats one of about 8 hardware mods that will be in the hardware manual. Ive kept all of this information private while I have been testing for months.
My vrms on the titans run at stock speed run about 55C +/- at 300MHZ after running 24 hours or more, and hardly ever go over 60C and no longer burn up PCI-E connectors.
We are simply making the Titan run better, stronger , cooler, and last longer than ever before.
There will also be instructions on how to repair , anything and EVERYTHING that could go wrong with a titan for very little cost. Including:
Repair melted PCI-E connector inside your cube (a few dollars in parts)
Repair failed VRM (no voltage or .8 Volts on die)
Repair heat issues (VRMS that exceed 70C).
Repair burned surface mount fuses.
Repair no voltage to die
Repair factory melted "Y" PCI-E cable for little cost (few dollars)
ALSO:
How to run 6 Titan cubes from 1 controller!! (This is tested and confirmed on Batch 2 only at this time).
I will be stocking VERY custom parts on my site, exclusive ONLY to premium members at a very attractive rate. Including:
* Heavy duty thick gauge 3 to 1 PCI-E cable
* 24" 10 pin flat ribbon cable. (factory ribbon cables from Kncminer are only 17" , and they just about fit).
* New cover for your KNCminer cubes. This will be peel and stick. If your titan cubes are like mine, they are scratched to hell. This will have professional , clean hi-res graphics to make your cubes look better than ever.
* Titan controller box. KNCminer, never did create a cover box for the controller, and I am in the process of fabricating one, to make your set look pro.
Again these items will ONLY be sold to premium members only, and you will NOT find them anywhere in the world, because I made them, and have not sold them ... YET.
and much much more...
I own multiple sets of titans, and know them inside and out. I have been in professional computer repair for 20 years, and own multiple computer repair shops.

Yep...I'm running 6 Titan cubes full out on ONE controller using TWO 1200i Corsair PSU's ....pop'd off the LCD and used that port and VIOLA works just fine
Other
2 Titan cubes on another controller and an 860w Seasonic from my Jupiter 550gh days (in the links below unused and acting as a 'gravity assist' to holding the
Titan miner bench down
I also use 20 amp at 220 volt INDIVIDUAL direct lines to EACH PSU from the miner to my electrical panel and use these surge protectors which have saved my ass
3x since I started running my 1st Titan on Nov 6th 2013 or so.....They are 220v EURO versions but come with the proper plug from the PSU
to the Surge Protector....you have to get a 220v Cord from the Surge Protector to your 220v Wall outlet thou ...and you need to choose the proper end to match
your 220v outlet that exists and/or decide on such in your project.
Here are the links for the Tripp Lite Surge Protectors I can't recommend them enough!
http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-EURO-4-International-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440297532&sr=8-1&keywords=tripplite+euroAgain at TWO PSU's per Titan (even my 6 cube unit on 2 corsair 1200i's) may be overkill but how I did it....ONE surge protector for EACH PSU.
The type of 220v Cord I use from the Surge Protector unit to the 220v wall outlet (type of end plug) I use. Also this is USA 220v.

http://lostgonzo.imgur.com/Anyway 6 cubes on a Titan works well. Running as such since March 2015.
I would be very interested in the longer ribbon cables you mention above. When you stack such the way I have in my pics as you can see it would be better with
longer ribbon cables. Not a big deal in that I let the heat rise and force move it out along the ceiling. But for aesthetics it looks cool and probably more helpful having
all the cubes blow out heat in the same direction. My air flow setup is crude but with a pusher fan at the other end and the shutter fan you see in the pics....I have
like a 15mph wind blowing 3 feet off the basement ceiling. Seems to works just dandy in the hot air seems to rise promptly from the setups. (both fans cost a big 20 bucks
extra a month in electric costs running 24/7 full out....well worth it in that it is summer and my basement setup)
Also like the Decal Ideas
Unsure of the cover for the controllers however...but still nice to see you guys have some stuff going on.
If someone is interested in the bench I 'appropriated' from my workshop project (now on hold) here is the link for that. As to the racks below such they are standard
closet racks. I used toggle bolts rather then the push in plastic plugs for heftiness to contrast the weight of the PSU's. Also got a cheap tap and die set to use
threaded screws to mount the surge protectors in the back. But looking around for a sturdy table for a workshop or such as I have setup can't beat this imho for price
and kick ass heftiness as a work table.
http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-heavy-duty-workbench/prod1490086.ipanyway about 50 bucks more then I shoulda spent...but it is not going anyplace. On a side note the 'glass tops' on the workbench from a couple of dressers I had...seems
to make the whole works cooler under the controller boards...raspberry pi kiddie project method that knc decided to use (sheesh)
Anyway for what it is worth to anyone interested 6 Cubes work fine for me since March 2014 till now...but keep in mind the individual circuits and surge protectors etc
not sure how I would have fared without such...and the whole cool in the basement action...
But man I wish I could find some more 'Cheap' Titan cubes! Have 4 slots I can max out on the 2nd controller.
If you are asking WHY I have 6 cubes on 2 PSU's it seemed prudent at 1.49 usd or whatever LTC at the time I set this up to NOT buy a 3rd Corsair 1200i at say 319 usd
and get by as I have using the old Jupiter Seasonic 860w PSU for the remaining 2 cubes.
Anyway gonna miss home miners here someday....I had/have it bad
?
