Well.. here's the Titan batch #2's controller board. The whole shipment is pretty much them just tossing in an extra Titan cube I guess. (have two more titan shipments coming in :/).



Here's the Titan batch #2 Raspberry Pi



And here's the extremely old Pi I have to show differences.



Also, yes i've tried numerous types of Class 10 sdcard's as per this threads sadness. I literally do not want to send this board back as it'd take a week to get it back (plus I have to pay customs again).
Unfortunately, it does seem like this is a Pi issue. So i'll have to RMA. Hopefully that goes over smoothly :/

yeah they had a big dip difficulty like down for the last 2 cycles of diff changes in the 3 day periods more then 25% .....and now it all is coming back within a day or two...and the price was only affected by bitcoin price drop thru all that from what i can tell...big yawn on ltc price changing heh...

go figure....

still holding LTC for now on the 'vain' hope that LTC price will tick up when BTC price goes up ...only hope on my again 'puny' hope of getting around 1/2 of my loss on the
titan (orig order) back .....may do better ...but my 'realistic' goal was always just get 1/2 back with elec etc incl ......as to the 2nd titan that MAY ROI  with elec in middle of the 4th
month more or less so not a big worry there...i figure the electric company will send me a 'fruit basket' here soon and write me up in the newsletter with all the $$$ i'm shucking out
to them ....

the above 'whim' of a plan for holding LTC can change at a moments notice...just saying the weak hand i'm playing as of this minute


by the by also heard that all the 150mh Titans in the 2nd batch no matter when they were ordered are going to be shipped after the 450mh units..(that in the past usually means a month or more from previous ways they have done this ....imho) ....so knc is still sticking  IT to folk...according to an email someone got (they ordered the 450mh and the 150mh the same day ...thus the email)

ah.....consistency....knc  ..picking up the bfl banner and pushing the envelope farther towards 'doucheness'...i expect josh from bfl to be hired any day now for the data hall operation...with the FTC/IRS after him he needs to get out of the country.....(i wonder what the Iceland extradition laws are like?)

Lol, well so far, i'm getting the advertised 430-450 MH/s for this first shipment. If it goes like this for the other two, I could possibly ROI within a year!...if I don't die of sadness looking at that 256 MH/s miner for $1500 first.

Did anyone receive the Titan bonus miner that was offered with Batch 2 Neptune ?

My batch 1 controller has also just died - blank LCD and doesn't respond to a reflash/change of SD card as it did in the past. The controller comes on with 1 led and I can see web interface but not the cubes.
Would you mind sharing how you modify a standard raspberry pi B+ to be compatible with the titan? The connectors JP10 etc all look different + what about mounting the daughterboard?

Thanks good to know. Its just like the cables were connected the wrong way round (or not at all) - I can't even read the temperature in the dies. But the LCD screen is blank and only one LED is on. Will update the thread if I figure it out etc...

the 'rumor' i heard way back was they shipped 2.5K of units 1st batch (heh amazing how that works with no refunds) and about that amount for their 2nd batch

could get 'interesting' if that was the case


anyway perhaps others have a better more reliable source...then knc sales hype back in the day when they were selling these as fast as possible

(i think that is where i got the figures from..KNC patting themselves on the back)

I very much doubt that. Towards the end of batch 1 I checked their cart using the well known method of trying to order a very large number of Titans. The cart would reply with an error message which told the customer how many were actually available. IIRC there were something like ~900 left when they closed batch 1.

I got the impression that they couldn't sell all of batch 1 so they closed it and announced batch 2 to save face. I'd be very surprised if they sold many batch 2 miners. Its possible they closed them out at wholesale to a bulk buyer, but few people were buying batch 2 machines at those prices at that time.

I also believe that the reason they brought out the mini Titans was to try to clear unsold stock.

yeah as I said ....was some 'hype' someplace ...back when everyone 'thought' they had ethics that they sold 2.5K of 1st batch units etc.....it is in some KNC propaganda someplace...the 2nd batch the same blather ...

I really really hope you are correct..I may not be able to get 'all' my $$$ back on this bad investment..but with being a legal miner in usa and equip deductions...and  what I may mine even at this low LTC rate ....if we get a good BTC and on coat tails LTC correction up in price...I may JUST may... with electric use (and this 2nd cheaper titan I got) only be 1/4 the price I paid for this no refund no roi orig titan unit delivered around 3.75 months late (later for others)...that is a lot of running around in dismay to lose only 25% to those KNC crooks

900 left sounds very encouraging......don't suppose anyone has any idea on batch 2 stuff with the same trick and/or the 150mh units? .

(heh ...I forget this is KNC we are talking about.....I still expect a Titan Data Hall out of these guys even if not on any big scale ..simply because they have the chips and they can....yet another thing I 'hope' I am incorrect about.....I so want them so 'overextended on the bitcoin data hall(s) that a Titan data hall is just not possible with the drop in btc price etc....)

What did you order ?
