Post by: sectrgt on September 08, 2014, 01:33:28 AM
Looking into getting a knc miner neptune. Is the price good for its hashrate and are they reliable? Will they break down right after i buy them? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've heard one of the biggest issues people have with buying KnC miners are actually getting the units to them in one piece - They had a long running problem with being shipped in poor conditions and not enough packaging. As far as actually breaking down, I haven't heard of anyone having a huge issue minus a control board messing up here and there. They seem dependable as long as they show up in one piece.

As far as prices go, always try to get as many GH/s as you can with spending the last $/GH. Shop around! It's all about how much your power bill costs, etc.

Good luck.

Are you too lazy to look in the official thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.0

I advise you to stay away from KnC. Don't take my word. Do your own research in the official thread starting from the latest posts.

I no longer mine SHA-256. Only Scrypt.

What kind of setup do you use and how much income do you have per day?

Stay away from KNC. Get the SP31 or Bitmain S3

If the goal is to make profits I would skip mining and do what the rest of the world does everyday and start a business that accepts Bitcoin.  That pizza parlor made more BTC than most farms will ever make  :D

No miners are worth it at the moment.  Not Knc, not Spondoolies, not Bitmain, etc..

Unless you have free electricity or cheap electrical costs under $0.10 k/WH it's not worth it.  You would have to compete against the likes of this to gain profit:

If you choosing just get BTC's for a few hundred or a few grand even, just buy it out right, it's more than you'd ever mine back with the miner/electrical/cooling investment.

KNC has no respected buyers, kept them waiting for long time and mined with their money!!!
this behaviour has to be returned back so they know what they do wrong...
I have 3 KNC jupiters they dont give me any trouble but have not in my hands any neptunes
