yes this is a no fee item?

okay that make them much closer to the same value if I  comparison shop.  .5btc right now is 425.usd so you sre 4.25 usd a gh right now, but fee free later on.  last question if 20 months of mining pass and you sell the gear off  say for 1600 usd or 50 usd a share

 do we get a piece of that sale?

thanks.  you look competitive .  I am awaiting coins. they come on fri. or sat.   I will see if you have shares left then.

I'm taking 2 shares

Chalres999 you got my order right?

Group buy 1 has all sold out.  Group buy 2 is now open. Both these groupbuys are for units ordered at the same time, so they will be shipped together.  No real difference between the two. 

Groupbuy 2  31/32 shares available.

Hi Charles,

I'm very interested in this.  You seem to have a good reputation and some degree of success.

What I don't understand is though, how are you making money at this?

Okay we are down to the last 6 Shares available for Group Buy 3.  There are a few unpaid shares still but after the 6 shares.  I'll stop accepting BTC to finish my spreadsheet t make sure I'm not oversold.

Thanks,
Charles

5 Shares Left! 

3 Shares left!  Please do not send any BTC.  Confirm with me there are shares available before sending any.  Just post your interest on the thread and I'll message you after I do the final tally.

Thanks,
Charles

2-can I have a screenshot of the order sheet?

I'll post a screen shot a bit later when I get into the office. 

Charles

I would appreciate this as well please.

Okay let me finish photoshopping it.  I'll post it after :)

Here it is!

The part that says Payed is showing :)

You mentioned that you might put your fourth unit up for GB but the order is only for three. There is nothing in that image to reassure me so I guess we have no option but to trust you now that you have our BTC  :)

Yes, I have another unit on a different order.  If I open up another groupbuy I will put up another image with 1 unit on it if you like:)

Hi I would like to buy a share.

 But I only have 0.25 btc left in my wallet :(

Great!  Thanks for joining the groupbuy.  We are down to 12 Shares available in groupbuy #2.

Charles

This one is missing from your list;

Great!  It's fixed now.

Thanks

Still not fixed. First digit of my address is missing.

The ops banned me

This does not bode well ....

If you have lost access to your forum account does that also means you lost access to all the PM's associated with this Group Buy?

Have you have been keeping separate records?

Looking forward to delivery. Thanks for all your hard work and time spent setting this all up Charles...

Got any pics of past mining rigs or of the room that will be housing this incoming rig?

What moves are you making right now to get all set up for this inconming equipment?


Oh, and... Anyone who wants to get out, message me with an offer and I'll take your shares.


 ;)

Chapps

all of these could not be mining since knc hasnt produced Neptunes yes.
Yesterday , they announced the successful productoin of 20nm chips. http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/news-and-anouncments/30876-tapeout-of-20nm-asic#post30876

Anyone think we should convert to a Scrypt Titan miner?  I personally dont.  just a thought.

Dont be fooled by the above poster charles99, its a scammer and not the GB leader.

I don't think so.
He's been posting in this thread as charles99 for a while. If he wasn't the same person I'm sure Charles999 would have objected, but take a look at previous posts in the thread and you will see why he hasn't.

This is all you need to read

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522247.0

Sucks how badly this has lost value since they haven't delivered :(  Ah well, win some lose some.

Charles do you have a refund plan on your mind  ? (given the silence of knc) .
It turns out ALL asic companies tend to the same behaviour in the end :(

Charles,

Will you send all of us in the group buy an email saying when the miners arrive and start hashing?

That way we all don't have to keep checking this thread each day.

thanks

Dear all,

In this newsletter we have some updates for you all about our product range. The newsletter will contain the following sections:
 
20nm statement
Neptune progress update
Hash while you wait
Convert your Neptune order
 
20nm statement.

This is an important statement which we would like to make clear. As always there is a lot of information available on the internet and a lot of speculation about the technology we are using some of it true and some of it completely wrong. What we can say is that the technology we have chosen is cutting edge and this means a lot of companies are careful about adopting such technologies.
We at KnCMiner pride ourselves in bringing the latest technologies to our customers. We over engineer our chips and don’t promise anywhere near the actual 100% performance they could possibly achieve. This enables us to use the latest and greatest chips safely. So when you read about much longer timelines for this technology it’s important to note they are not our timelines. We have a very different approach. We over engineer our chips and only use world class partners in our chip designs. These important factors allow us to have the technology in our customer’s hands faster than other companies.
 
Neptune progress update.

Our Neptune product is currently in fabrication stage at the TSMC Foundry in Asia. We are actively pushing to get the chips as fast as possible to our assembly factories in Sweden. We have of course taken all steps to make sure that the process is done as fast as possible. We know as well as everyone in this business that time is a critical part of the process.  Which we think is why we have come up with a few alternatives to anyone who doesn't want to wait for their product.
 
Hash while you wait.

First it’s important to note that we don’t expect to be late at all everything is on track. It’s just always good to have a backup plan. Second our mega-data center in the north of Sweden is nearing completion so we can give out some more details. All customers of Neptune’s will be able to use completely free of charge our data center to hash for them at 3TH either on our pool or a pool of their choice while they wait for their product to be shipped. The first customers (batch 1) are expected to be hashing in our data center in early June and the last customer will hash in our data center around the last week of June. All the customers will be able to hash in that data center for as long as we are late in shipping your Neptune product, this service will be provided on a best effort basis. We have a 24/7 operations teams in place with multiple redundant internet and power connections and we will aim to have as close to 0 down time as possible.
 
Convert your Neptune order to a 3TH Jupiter.
 
For those customers who no longer want to wait for their Neptune we have another new option for you. We are releasing for shipment a new 3TH product. We have a total of 400 of these setups available which are based on our existing and proven 28nm chips. Each setup contains
18 of our own 28nm 8 DC/DC module ASIC boards with coolers,
3 controller cards,
all cables needed,
Power supplies not included.
The boards are in aluminum boxes, each box contains 3 chips side by side with front and rear cooling vents. Each controller card runs two boxes. This option will be offered free of charge for anyone wanting to convert their Neptune to a 3TH Jupiter. If more than 400 people want to have the conversion we will ship in order of payment for the original Neptune order. This offer will be open for 7 days for people to contact us. After 7 days from today the exchange will be frozen and people will be contacted who made it onto the queue. The products will then be shipped from stock as soon as possible. This will be offered at no cost to the customers wanting to take 3TH of Jupiter’s instead of waiting for their Neptune’s. There is a 90 day warranty on this product. Anyone wanting to take this option should contact customer service via email with their order number who will then take care of the conversion.
 

does anyone else in the group buy feels that we should consider a refund?
Better miners is being presented NOW by other companies.
For what i am concerned  , with the amount of a share i can get ghs now instead of a june promise (long live Q1)

Didn't KnC always say Q1/Q2?
I don't really see what has changed, so I say keep it.

Jupiter 3TH
The window for conversions has now closed we have had over 400 conversions which means we are actively trying to fill all of the orders we have but we will contact customers individually if they are too far back in the queue to be converted. The good news is that the shipment for these orders will begin Tuesday next week after the Easter holidays and we expect it to take only a few days to have all boxes shipped out to customers.
 
Neptune Power Requirements
While we will not release the maximum performance of the Neptune miner we can now release the required power supply to give people time to purchase them. The maximum power draw will be 2100w of power and we recommend this to be either two 1200w power supplies or three 850watt power supplies. This does include a bit of a safety margin on our side and of course underclocking will be possible to reduce the power requirements even more.

refund. . . 2 shares. . .

but . . . i expect that i would be refunded for my share of the unit not my buy-in price in BTC.

with btc down vs. US $ i would expect each share to be worth about .66 BTC.

does that make sense? 

I've put in a request to get a refund on one unit so far.  The total of all the people who voted equals close to 1 unit.  I will update you guys when I hear back from them.

I expect a refund of $10170 per unit so you will get that amount turned into BTC and then divided by the amount of shares for 1 unit. 

Can't give you the BTC amount at the moment as it'll depend on when the refund for that unit gets processed. 

Sucks, I kinda wish I had better news on the delivery..

Charles

Double the hashingpower :)

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/news-and-anouncments/38332-neptune-performance-upgrade

Still sucks and knc is not trustworthy anymore...a refund would mean double the coins if you buy back into BTC again.
Those miners, even two of them in a month and a half, and the second by August, will NEVER mine twice the bitcoins than they cost originally.

Yeah but BTC prices might rise before Charles get his refund.... How long does the banktransfer take?

EDIT: I don't see BTC rising anytime soon, if anything it's heading down to the 200-300usd area for a while.

Sorry, can't fix it anymore.  The ops banned me for posting a joke link :(  My bad but didn't think it constituted a ban.  Don't worry I'll send out test payments before the actual payments start.  If you need to get a hold of me, message this account instead as I cannot respond or post from the Charles999 account at the moment.  

Still waiting for the ops to free me from my messaging ban.  

Thanks!

This one is still wrong but since you are unable to update original post I'm assuming your personal list is correct?

ooops sorry for the delay in updates.  I've requested that all the miners get refunded as it'll be difficult for us to generate the same amount of BTC with difficulty so high.  Right now my account says that:

"Refund ready for process"

So as soon as they send me the bitcoins, we'll distribute the coins back to everyone.

Please keep watching this thread.  And verify that your addresses are correct! 

Charles

Wow, ok, refunds for everyone ? sounds good. Thanks Charles for doing a fine job with this groupbuy.
Good idea. I dont think we would have recouped our initial investments.

Great News!  We have our refunds. 

Great News!  We have our refunds. 

Please begin confirming your share total and BTC payment address against the spreadsheet by posting your address & share total publicly and if it matches up with the address I have on file, I will send you your total shares.  Just an additional check and balance to make sure everyone gets paid properly.

Before you confirm your address, make sure your wallet is updated to the latest bitcoin client and the blockchain is up to date.  

So total payment is: 67.47/96 = .702 BTC per share

1 for me thx

thanks for the transparency and efforts.

All have been paid that have posted their confirmed addresses.  If you have not posted a confirmation to your BTC address that's listed on the first page, you will not receive payment.  This is for your protection.

If you have not seen payment in a day or two, please don't complain or incite people to think you're being ripped off.  Just post your address and wait a little.  I'm not running anywhere.  Especially when 75% of all the btc have already been paid back already.

It's the summer and I may go on a trip here or there with my kids. 

On that note, thanks for your continued trust in joining my group buy.
