Here's one screeny

As promised some data from the miner. :)

Tired right now, worked all night to get the miner working. I'll get more photos up later and some screen shots of the two pools we're mining with; Eligius and BitMinter. Together they represent around 700 TH, so we're both spreading out the luck and if one pool goes down, shares are automatically sent to the alive pool with no delays. On BitMinter I have set 2% donation to receive PPS payouts for both BTC and NMC, as well as "easy mode".

Finally got around to catching up. Great work you guys getting it running. Even if it is a bit on the slower side it beats the hell out of dead. I'm happy again now :)

Hell yeah, I'll take 90% over 0%. And honestly it's performing better than advertized despite the "minor" hardware issues. For us at least with software, a lot of the issues can be addressed.

Big thanks to Corather and Gump who saved our miner. Have some rest but keep the miner on :D

The hash rate based on shares is kind of low. Just 2/3 of the actual hash rate. Still a great miner.

KNC released a diagnostic binary. I ran this and found that one die per board (4 boards per Jupiter, 4 dies per board) are defective. Essentially, my Jupiter's are performing at 75% capacity, which means I should be getting 300gh more than I am now. 12 out of 12 defective… A bit more than 'minor' production problem I'd say.

aeems everyone who took a hit has a dead die0. And those that actually have their own money invested, aren't particularly happy with KNC at the moment, but at least they seem to be taking steps to rectify the situation.

I don't recall seeing a response.....what is it getting at the pool(s)? If it's like mine, cgminer overstates the pool numbers, even with FW .98. And how are you dividing it up, if at all.

I just let the pools decide where the power is needed.

Here's more info, screenshots of bitminter and eligius. Notice the graph has a sputter in Eligius around 5pm to around midnight. That was Firmware 0.95 restarting due to the hardware errors. It's been smooth since 0.98. Still a bit on the slow side though, but something is better than nothing. I should still put in a ticket however and see if there's some compensation to be had even if it's a little.

So it's essentially splitting between these pools then? 50gh/50gh? Really, that's not too bad, even though it might should get closer to 120-130.

Wouldn't hurt to test the ASICs. The output i posted in the other thread is from asic_test and runme.sh in the binary below. It will show which dies are bad, if any.

Here's KNCs release: https://www.kncminer.com/userfiles/file/diag-1.0.bin

tar -xvf diag-1.0.bin
Execute: runme.sh and asic_test

They do the same thing but each gives slightly different output.

I downloaded the file, but I don't want to touch it right now unless I have to. It's working and we don't have time to waste, so let her run. :)

It does split essentially 50/50, but sometimes one pool gets a higher rate and so forth. I like doing it this way because you spread the risk over a larger area, so you're getting 100% of 700 TH in this case rather than 100% of 400 TH. The payments are proportionally smaller but it comes out in the wash. And if there's a problem in one of the pools if just continues on the healthy one. I am mining cryptogenic bullion right now with my scrypt miner and one of the pools goes down for no good reason so my miner just chugs along on the healthy one until the dead one comes back.

One more thing I should mention, I just paid my power bill. Feel free to send donations, haha. :) I mean I got it but if any of you feel generous... ^_^

Oh I forgot to mention also, BitMinter will have 334 mh more in there though you don't notice it as I have one tiny Block Erupter going along for the ride on a separate worker.
