er this is confusing..wtf is KNC supporting their firmware with an upgrade or is this just some clown posting something in the area?

https://github.com/KnCMiner/titan/commits?author=dvitas

Suddenly March 7th 2015 a year later it is 2.0.1 upgrade and now a few days ago 2.0.2?

wtf?

edited (took out speculation ..the above don't amount to much it seems)

 Heh just took my NON-coding self and looked at it ..seems it is just a fix for latest bfgminer (assuming I know what I'm looking at) heh

Well in my NON-coding view...sure does not look like any kinda major commit LOL

Also heard today from folk that KNC WON their court case...I wonder how much $$$ the losers have to pay now under Swedish Law to KNC for
legal fees and/or a Judgement....sh*t 2016 and KNC still is making money out of thin air on crap they no longer support....again "Evil works" (tm KNC)

whatever figured the above was of some note to this thread

later

Others can chime in here...but to me getting any BBB KNC controller EVER MADE (mercury/saturn/jupiter/neptune) to work with Titan Cubes would be huge! (FU KNC)

Then as the equipment gets less profitable at least a guy could part it out 1 cube at a time to the world and the buggers end of life could take on a 'hobby' life

of their own imho......like knc used to say on their forums...underclock your titans for less electric costs .remove 2 cubes (kid you not) and reboot



As to me I have a pi clone bridge and a Neptune board. I've split up my 10 cubes (some work well others not so much) into 3 setups

for whatever frigging reason the 6 cube (3 cubes per corsair with a couple dead dies maxed out as per before lightfoot's don't run them full out info) is stable as hell

with gen tarkin software no adjustments or reboots just hums...so I leave it alone..18 months for 4 of the cubes 13 months for the other 2 ..its 'magic')

....
I have two now 2 cube setups on the other 2 controllers....and now have less issues with this ....they are pretty stable

But lumped into 4 on  a controller constant tweaking even with gen tarkin software now very stable

Now that  i have 1 cube with 2 dies at 200 and 2 dies 325 on a cube  and a 2nd cube 325 maxed out  (my coolest temp cube go figure) its stable as heck too

the other 2 cube setup has 1 cube on corsair 1200i that i suspect is fading (only has 1 die working on that cube) and the other full cube 300mh for all max on a 660w seasonic to make a stable 2 cube setup system on that

so the 1 extra controller was well worth the $$$ put in as I mixed and matched this stuff to some kind of equilibrium

as to why I'd think a BBB mod for titans would be great


so.....besides the fact a lot of folk with a BBB controller that would work on the titan could do the above and 'balance' stuff for less flakiness (at least under gen trakins

great software with his adjustments) the option to have a spare controller even in my case to yank 1 cube off what ever stable setup you have to dork with it by

itself or isolate it from taking the rest of whatever sized rig you have down....with my 3 rig setup it would be take the 1 die only cube and other cube make a 3 cube

unit and dork with the 1 problem cube on the side that way.....(again better for a controller just for this use imho)


again imho you'd have a pretty good market for a BBB mod in that there are a hell of a lot more NON titan controllers out there in the masses..a collaboration with

gen tarkin on a firmware port there would probably ..again imho do as well for sales as the firmware he has done for titan controllers alone


not to mention the price of titans would be based on CUBES more and NOT complete rigs so EVERYONE could have a shot at getting some partial titan rig up
thus likely driving price of titan equipment up in the mad scramble to get 1 cube or something on that old jupiter board to mine


anyway maybe it is too hard to do...but it would be a win/win/win....eventually repairing titan stuff is gonna cost more then it is worth to do...folk will dry up...but a firmware

mod like this would extend this titan equipment quite a bit farther down the road and make a couple of guys some modest cash to boot (hint hint)


anyway the particulars escape me perhaps this is Un-doable....just saying

Well, I tried doing a git clone of the repo and couldnt even compile bfgminer successfully ... ccan wont compile correctly. =(
Maybe Im missing something. Dont know, so cant really test it out. I will worry bout testing when theres actually .bin install upgrade file provided by the author of the updated KNC v2.0.2 firmware.
Till then, average miner wont really be able to upgrade beyond v2.00 anywho.

Bump, have you received the transcripts?
Would be interested to hear a short summary of the trial

Except for the case that was quoted in the previous msgs on this thread...where the guy because he lost his case (a 1.5k to the law firm per KNC unit he tried to get back) and NOW has to pay 37k usd to KNC for their legal fees.....

as to the other claims...as far as I understand..it was grouped together as a class action under Swedish law BUT each individual had to provide info and each case COULD be looked at 1 by 1 or the judge could lump it together.....seems to me from what I've heard so far  the Judge may be going thru each case

so unless you had one of the early rigs of Neptune or Titan that caught on fire...I bet all these other cases lumped into th class action are gonna go KNC's way as well

an in that they will REPLY TO EACH INDIVIDUAL of the outcome of the case thru the class action law firms (already paid the 1.5k per knc unit up front for fees)

well would you get on here....after getting such info from you lawyer ..that you LOST thus down 1.5k to the law firm you had....and probably another 3k paid to KNC
for damages and their legal fees

yeah I'd jump right on here and say....knc just screwed me out above and beyond my original loss another say 4k ......

We may never really know.....all I know now is the thread on the BIG loss reported (also under one of the lawyers from the class action the swedish guy) and that is because
he is likely to appeal

Anyway the above is 'guessing' on my part remember...but again....perhaps the court is ONLY contacting each knc miner in the class action individually...if they won and what they have to pay the court and knc in fines etc in that they lost

Hopefully we will get public info on all of this ...or someone who gets a notice one way or another will post on here...but hell....if they all lost their respective cases under what KNC always said....''we sell to you..you are a business and not covered by EU or Swedish Consumer Protection"

again we may never really know

Sorry to hear that. I can fix them but it is a bit of a pain for shipping and all (I use 24g wire wrap wire which is better than the foil, but will still blow if the Rpi shorts). Actually what one *really* should have is a small resistor in line with the power there so that if the Pi shorts it's not a zero ohm circuit across a potentially large amp source.

If your bridgeboard blows out, check your Pi first: I have had Pi's that had shorted CPUs where they threw full 5 volts down into the FPGA and the TPS power chip (blowing both). I have had Pi's with bad CPUs that got hot enough to burn fingers when touched (that sourcing of current will blow up the board). And I have had Pi's with dead shorted charge pumps.

Because we plug these boards into big supplies, all lines should be able to support max current. They don't, and this is the source of a lot of blown out boards. A simple 1 amp removable mini fuse on the board's +5 and +12 inputs would have gone a long way to protecting things. But then again so would a set of optoisolators on the signal lines to the cubes to prevent ground loops and the resultant hilarity. But that would have cost money, and that's a problem as well.....

(Just fixed two more bridgeboards, both with bad Pi's)

PS: Say has anyone tried powering a new Pi with the Rpi's onboard USB supply/plug in the event of a blown bridgeboard? That would bypass this bad line, and it *should* come up. Try it and see....

Oh yeah, I finished your board, those titans are a wreck, someone else tried to repair them. You can always tell when you see a power supply with the 10 pin connector hovering off the board :-)

Anyway, I'll send that back. Simple little fix actually but a new board at .2 is quite competitive with my repair price so in the future I would say check with that guy first.

Yeah i've actually tried to power a Pi after it blows out a bridge but unfortunately it's not enough to pull through the entire controller. It really needs that molex for some reason. All of my bridges that blew, happened after they blew out all my Pi's first :/ Very not nice.

What model is the KNC Titan OEM rpi ?

qberty, can I buy a titan clone bridge from you?
