Quick update, recent additions to firmware are...
Hostname on pages STATUS, MINING & ADVANCED now. Rather than just STATUS page.

Current DCDC temp & enabled / disabled, along w/ current bfgminer version are properly reflected in the ADVANCED page now.
For the DCDC controls, they are prepopulated w/ current settings.
For Bfgminer version, it shows current running version to the right of the dropdown box.

These are only on git, not in a release yet.

Id have no idea where to start with that =(

Think anyone would want to have a mobile app to control/view/configure the clunky KNC local webpage? bfgminer already has an API for most of the options anyway, but for your custom additions, if you allowed an API to hook into them, I could make an app to control everything.

Id like to say a huge Thank you, my Party NattyLitecoin and I recently donated out of our personal LTC to support further development. Keep up the great work !!

Some updates coming down the pipe as improvements to my firmware:
Very soon:
(next release)
Advanced settings page, all my modifications will show their current setting =)
So, DCDC will show the box checked if turned on or box blank if not on. The Temp dropdown box will show current temperature threshold.

(later on)
*At some point coding an update button next to my version info in lower corner of STATUS page. Which will perform sync w/ git & install my latest goodies.

The price for the "premium" version is $50 in the form on LTC. This version will NOT change pools, and has free lifetime updates. More information on how to pay and get access to the premium .img files are here:

Odd, how does the unit "flake"? Yeah, I think litecoinpool.org is one of the friendlier Titan pools. That is the donation pool I use in my firmware =)

I used to think the Titan was touchy as hell too, that was all until I started reworking this firmware and made (my titan at least) 100% reliable ... =)
(granted I never really had pool issues, just sleeping "dead die" issues) ... HA!

I never make eye contact with my rigs .... way too risky

I plan on getting you some btc at the end of the month...I would rather just pay a set 'fee' that you deem fair then have my miner bounce between pools etc...these are touchy
beasts..i kid you not...if i put a backup pool on the 6 cube unit it flakes...if i take out the backup pool on that unit it does not flake (gets back around 7mh) no effect on the 2
cube unit *running knc firmware 2.00* not sure if it is my imagination or not but have tried this 2x since got the units ...finally said screw it www.litecoinpool.org has only gone
down (on its end) 1x in last 5 months for like 5 min....maybe I've lost contact due to storms 3x...but frigging 'witchy' it is.....

hell I'm scared to make 'eye contact' with my titan(s) in the basement when I do laundry...less they become 'offended' and 'brick themselves' into doorstop status from the
wrong sideways glance

so just tell me what you think you need for btc that is 'fair' and I'd prefer just to get the version that has no pool 'compensation' stuff

whatever keep up with the good work eventually I'll get to the titan(s) upgraded and get you some BTC irregardless of the above

have the new SD cards to try such ...just need a weekend for a block of time to watch them after the fact and/or get to it

We are still working through this, and might randomize the time of the day, or change the time the pool changes with each "free version" release, as not everyone stays updated all the time. Also not everyone will be on a "free version". We could start our donation process "24 hours after the firmware initializes". This makes everyone different. Only the free version does this. We are still looking for more ideas you guys would like to see happen. Lets start a discussion on what you would like to see in future updates. We have some nice additional features already in the works, but please feel free to throw out ideas.

Vegas

what happen and all the members are increase the mining power at

www.litecoinpool.org

So, its not based on a time of day, its based on a 24hr period starting when the donation script starts running.
Its probably best for rig renters to just purchase the premium version to avoid dealing w/ the 11mins per 24hr donation hassle.

Yeah, the halving is gonna suck for all of us.
The way I see it is ... either price will move up to compensate(doubtful) or difficulty will decrease to compensate(more likely)... Its probably gonna be a mix of both.

GenTarkin,

At what time will the donation version switch over to your pool? Could cause issues with rentals, so people who use it will likely want to add a warning to their rig descriptions that they will add time to compensate the renter for the temporary disconnection from their rental.

I'll be buying the premium version after the halving. Not touching anything on the Titan until that happens, need to avoid downtime as much as possible until the halving.

Thanks a bunch man! ... yeah KNC will just ignore everyone =P
Ill just keep chuggin along w/ ideas I come up with. =)

Hi,
just my 2 cent
I want to thank you for something what KNC should do you should contact them and show how their webgui should be make:)
but I think they are so selfish so they cant understandt ,they are making money from us but after sell they have us deeep in ......
but in world of crypto there are people like you , so one(two) word(s): GOOD JOB
cheers

Guys enormous time has gone into development of this project. GenTarkin has hired me to personally help him manage the business end of things as the demand has gone crazy. GenTarkin just does not have enough hours in the day to code AND handle orders. I have discussed this with GenTarkin and we have both decided to give you guys 2 options:

1. A paid "premium version" with lifetime updates. The cost will be $50 in the form of LTC paid to address: LSTLJQc7hZW8KZN2b37yg6HEH978ZQTqFF . You must then email [email protected] for instructions , and email a copy of your TX # to verify payment. my system will automatically email you when new versions come out (premium version only).

2. A Free version.  It will also automatically donate .75% to the dev (just less than 1%). It will switch for a short time once every 24 hours to the pool of the devs choice, and then switch back to your pool. No email when updates come out.

So you have your choice. Both are available. All funds generated will be used to further develop the firmware. Dont foget, you STILL have the option of using KNCminer 2.00 last firmware for free.

Any questions regarding payment MUST come to me (vegas), pm me or email me at [email protected]. All tech questions MUST go to GenTarkin. We are growing very fast, please follow these rules to further the development, and speed development.

Latest version is : V.96

Main features of the firmware are(in order of importance):

CONFIGURABLE DCDC OVERHEAT PROTECTION: (The BIGGEST threat to Titan owners!!) This feature prevents the DCDC's climbing up to high in temp(granted temps are configured below 100C). Dies will be invidiually clock down by 25mhz until they are below the DCDC temp threshold specified. Dies will be turned off if 100mhz is not cool enough.

PROPER DIE RESETS performed when dies go into a "dead" state while mining. First attempts a number of soft resets, if those attempts fail, bfgminer is stopped, affected cube powered down, powered up then bfgminer restarted. note: will not fix permanently damaged dies.
**Furthermore, if certain dies were issued nonstop soft resets via KNC's original code, because that will lead to a hard reset often using my code, there is a bypass_dies.conf file which manually can be edited for bypassing of checking die status entirely.

OPTION to switch between STOCK 5.1.0 BFGminer vs newer 5.2.0 BFGminer.

Added various meaningful webgui stats.

Finally, we will continue to develop & improve this firmware long as the ideas keep rolling in. Also if there are bugs, they will be addressed. Please PM me on bitcointalk.org w/ questions or suggestions.

You can also find up to the minute updates without reading through pages and pages on bitcointalk.org , by going directly to : http://bitcoinlasvegas.net/kncminer-titan-firmware-knc-miner-firmware-titan-firmware-kncminer-titan-customized-firmware-mod/

 I think its fair, like I posted. Thus far Ive vastly improved the original KNC firmware. Something that Titan owners have wanted from day one, better reliability. Ive probably increased that measure by at least 50-70% ... which is huge. Ive sunken weeks of work into this little project that only set out to by a simple issue hard reset to dies 100% of the time if they had problems. Its grown into much more than that.

WOW! thanks a ton man! greatly appreciated =)

Well you have to understand, my firmware doesnt make them run faster =P
Its all about reliability.

According to the fabrication cost of sub 20nm wafer process, it is about cost 150 million U.S. Dollar for a said tap out, that is why I'm thinking Neppy and titty could be the last KNC product for consumer, and ASIC miner will restrict by this nature of capital barrier, so I'm very happy to own a Titan as the last and powerful script miner.

Bitcoin itself is a very good idea that could let people have own capability to forge money to obtain financial freedom,
But these ASIC miner makers built their own huge mining farm, and the behavior against sprit of cryptsy currency "Decenteralize", so no wonder why cryptsy currency can't stand long and lasting.

Any ways, bad news is no more sub 20nm ASIC MINERS in the future, and good news is it s good for you to have a Neppy or titty on hand.
