So, that extra module that I've ordered. Can I run it with anything else but the main control boards?
Let's say rPi?

Please advice.

It's a BeagleBone Black (Circuito, Newark or Farnell) inside the KNC as far as I can tell. Similar to the RaspeBerry Pi -- but that's all.

which is mounted to the actual controller board..  
I don't see how you'd connect the data ribbon to a BBB without one.

What a great morning...Gox @ 427.....coinbase @ 390... nice!

Suggestion for KNC's GEN2... Native WiFi   Wink Wink Wink
a small pci slot on the controller board...and a 5 dollar 10/100 wifi card...

well at $440 for mtgox.com  now and $410 at bitstamp.net ...I've made my 18.50648851 BTC for the last 26 days and at $440 mtgox.com price that is $8,142.85 USD and at the bitstamp the even number of $410 it is $7587.66 USD...well...I guess I've nailed ROI in that I paid with shipping $7131.80 USD for my Jupiter to USA....and with the overhead on either exchange that includes my electric  costs well above for the last 26 days easy

kinda stunned....I intend to hoard and not sell so it is probably moot and of course it will probably go down this is probably a bubble ..but going on the theory that in a speculative market like this it will always go to the previous high (eventually or all of BTC will probably go bust)....at least in my feeble mind I can say I hit ROI

understandably I'm somewhat confused. I'd always heard about someone's ship coming in never thought I'd be at the dock!!!!

anyway ...like the Chinese push on going long on bitcoin don't ya know!!!! Keep driving the price up!!!

anyway 26 days ROI I can live with that

Queue the miners from 3 years ago to tell you that you did not ROI and you should have bought BTC instead...

true...but then again from what I can tell newbies like I was always buy miners...if they are lucky to get ROI on a miner then maybe they invest in BTC direct ..but from the folks I've seen it is get a miner first to get your toe in the water then you speculate....also something about spending $$$ on hardware as a newbie vs charging off and pop'ing the same amount of dough in the market..must be human nature..but I agree with your point..of course also I don't think anyone expected this kinda diff increase from now till march (esp BFL 600gh card for Feb delivery)....anyway my 2c worth ...with BTC rise my Jupiter made ROI ... so being dumb and lucky also works I guess

my 2c worth (not that it is worth that)
