what I meant was ALL the Jupiter 4/6 port 2013 boards in their data hall were used on neppies and titans imho ..why make when you can 'recycle' them ....in that they work with a bridge for the pi on the titan etc....so 4 month delay.....swapping out Jupiter cubes for neppie cubes....in the data hall ...then the remaining Jupiters are replaced after the neppie owners get their units 4 months late (with prob some above boards) same for titans

Wow. Searing isn't so dumb. Why does everyone say that about him? Grin

yeah to clarify the above..i'm talking about the 4/6 port boards being the same in everything...ever made by knc up and thru use on the neptunes and titans....
lazy/fast/cheap and late KNC's motto

If i 'get' that 2nd oct 2013 saturn board I will try to just direct pin the wires w/o a daughter board to a pi for the titan
and I'd be the odds of it working is better then 90%....still have no time/days off to get to the clone daughter board test on my oct jupiter 4 port card....

too much to do too little time

as to the dumb question no doubt I am....all this tech stuff is beyond my normal day to day work and experiences...out in the sticks by myself....(sure can't mention
bitcoin ..last time that happened a plumber saw my stuff I said bitcoin..and have not heard from the guy since..how many of you had your bank sic the SEC on you
when in 2013 'btc was evil' ? at least in 2015 they just thing of me like a 'deluded Amway Salesman' when the topic comes up....damn I need to start a crypto club
or something.....its like the frigging "I am Legend" movie around here and don't even have a dog..btc wise that is....

probably because I am the dumb...I realize my limitations (esp as a newbie....bfl drank the kool aid....alpha tech put 30% down got it back because if you have an American
Express Gold Card..and alpha lies on the invoice that I paid in FULL and I can prove I paid 1/3 pre-order.....well never heard an amex rep swear before...gave me refund on the spot
with a point to the web page on the pre-order info...I gather one does not LIE to AMEX ..they were 'miffed'

so I've made ALL the mistakes since 2013 (more if you count not getting in BEFORE 2013) Sad

that aside..you got to understand I work with the 'dev disabled' in a 'deaf blind' house as awake overnight staff...thus have lots of time (and permission) to mess around on the computer
when things are och and taken care of ...my bosses LOVE the fact I've done this for years and no turn over..and stay awake etc etc

So I admit that my grammar and the rest in a 'tossed out in 5 min post' is not the best answer sometimes here at work..but on the other hand I'm getting paid to reply to some of this stuff...so you got to take what I say with that in mind and a grain of salt

/ignore is always an option......many do ...feel free....

but again I have no clue...occasionally I trip over something ...but most of the time the tech and coder types simply indulge me....explain something ..and I move on

(If I as the 'wounded wilder beast" can keep up with the rest of the herd...well that imho means that any brighter 'newbie' has a better leg up when he trips over topics/replies
I reply on with questions...only as strong as the weakest link...if the goal is to take this 'mainstream' btc and crypto in general...sometimes 'obvious' questions are needed

we imho are already seeing from the btc devs...a bit of that ....we know all ...get in line ....no need to explain..my way or the highway...has to move beyond for such 'tech types' to the regular guy ..who is gonna use btc etc and not give a damn about halving and bitcoin core and the rest...

so I muddle along asking the dumb questions no one else will ....trying to make my clueless-ness of some use

but considering I have the tech skills of hamster.....I've levered myself up about as far as possible....now if others say...bitcoin devs..would lever themselves up a bit more
on PR and informing the rest of us...and put some ego aside and do that same....well .....it might not be as efficient a way to promote crypto and btc ...but hell at le..ast
it would be less intimidating to the (hopeful) future newbies to this circus tent..

but KNC is pretty transparent....if their is an 'EVIL' angle... they can get theirs first (just ask the Neptune pre-order folk shoved last in line for 4 months while they filled
their data hall up first) they will do so ..looking thru that prism...it is NOT a big deal...ie their RMA tech support on cubes was mostly from what I think was simply fixing
thermal paste..from shoddy temp workers (their info) as they slam'd units out the door (for neppie and titan) big whoop.

if so well hell at least it is interesting as hell as something for me to do at work

and there is the fact clueless or not....KNC did not WIN I have ROI'd on all my stuff and all is well....that is a big deal to me....I 'escaped' the 'shafting' that they fully
expected to Neptune and Titan owners with their 4 month late and in the Titan's case...somewhat 'dubious' firmware.....

so bitcointalk and this thread is a 'testament' to the efforts to overcome the 'lemons' these units were on the above and make lemonade ...between glen tarkin's efforts and lightfoot's efforts we are in a heck of a lot better position in FEB 2016 then I'd have ever guessed

and always remember ..the NEPTUNE or the TITAN is the worlds BEST space heater! As long as it makes 1c more then 'old tech regular" space hearters per month in electric use...that can never be taken away from us here...(well till they 'brick themselves anyway" they are 'evil' knc spawn don't ya know)
