How much power is Neptune slated to pull? Is it beyond anything a typical US household/apartment AC outlet could feed?
I think it will be like this: If you connect the Neptune to it's OWN 20amp circuit, with nothing else, you should be fine. Whatever you do, don't put it on the same circuit as something like a microwave, or toaster, or anything that draws significant wattage. Make sure it's on a 20amp breaker minimum. When you estimate a 20A circuit, you mean on a 110V line, yes? European 230V @ 16A would give 3680W, which should probably hold if kendog77's estimate of 3000W power draw is anywhere near what we will get. I really hope that it will draw less than 3000W to be able to have it along other things on a slightly loaded circuit. Assuming it will be powered by ATX PSUs, the max spec for North America would be 1300W per PSU. Yes, there are 1500W supplies, but 120V/15A circuits must (electrical code) be derated by 20% for continuous use. So 120V x 15A x 80% is 1440W at the wall. A 90% efficient PSU supplying 1300W DC would be right at the limit. If we use 2 of these, we can supply 2600W DC at most. So drawing less than 2600W DC would be ideal. Otherwise North American people without convenient access to 240V lines would be ... inconvenienced.  I myself would have to find a 240V line to run that machine unless i can get two 1500W PSUs to run it. Even then i am going to have a huge issue with my power being in an apartment im hoping knc can pull of some magic like when they stated 850 watts for jupiter, but with the firmware updated it was more around 550..... so maybe 1700 watts?! lol i seriously hope i can run this machine off one 110v 15 amp circuit or it will be a major pain in the ass for me. OR split the neptune into two seperate boxes so they can run independently off two diff plugs. |

Neptune #5 paid!... I'm too exhausted to dance, but will certainly sleep well tonight!
wonder how many left...

I thought there were only 1200 available.
There were 1200 in the first batch. I guess 1500 in the second batch. Still, I'm surprised the price went up from $9,995.00 to $12,995.00 for the second batch! no, there were 1200 in second batch. read the website. |

I'm pretty upset as a previous customer that I didn't get any notification of the first Neptune batch. I've emailed them about that and they just replied that the second batch is open and available to purchase. Great customer service, right? Anyone else in the same boat?
they didnt send you an email? i got one... |

I must have missed something..... Can someone direct me to where it was stated that the Neptune deliveries would be separated in "Batches"? Just because there was an order gap, and price difference between Noobs & old customers, means nothing towards delivery time as far as I see... I cannot find anything to support that theory.
not batches per say, but on the site it does state the 13k price orders will come 3-4 weeks after first "batch" orders. |

True, however it does show that they are being ordered and paid for.
ordered = yes....paid for = no |

First money back!
Invalid IBAN number,
I paid on 28th 03:55 pm to this account:
IBAN (USD): SE3250000000054238219864
BIC/SWIFT: ESSESESS
Bank Address: SEB, Stureplan 2, 106 40 STOCKHOLM/SWEDEN
KnC Group AB address: Birger Jarlsgatan 33 5tr, Stockholm, 111 45, Sweden.
But only one of four transactions comes back atm.
Tomorrow I will see if the other ones comes also back.
Anyone else?
really?! thats odd... |

that number doesnt mean much....they reset that thing all the time..... |

Of course the real kicker is that I had to pay VAT on my $9995 which totals near $12,200 so not such a great deal in comparison to anyone buying one anywhere else in the world  Tell me about it  Just placed a 2nd batch order from the UK.... total was $15,810. OUCH. I truly hope the believers on here are correct, that KnC are worth the investment. I know there's a lot of speculation about future difficulty increases + the major amount of TH possibly coming online if the competitors manage to ship in Q1 14... (I've also got a Cointerra pre-order in).... but who can know? If these units are as good as they seem... BTC prices remain strong, difficulty doesn't go beyond sane levels... etc etc.... then at least a reasonable ROI can be expected/hoped for.. even if it's just a break even. Anyway, wanted to jump in. I know I'm a newb on this forum... but not new to the BTC world. Great place to come and learn. whoa! 15k, so much moneyyyy |

Just out of interest Xian01, who isn't on your shit-list of companies? I notice you spent $8600 on 360Ghs (180Ghs x2) Antminers but you don't think that 3TH a $13K is a good deal?
Do you really not understand the difference between a miner delivered *this* week, and one that might be delivered in 6 months? i thought antminer was vaporware? |

uhhh its also 500 gh/s gigaHASHES, not gigaHERTZ. such a stupid mistake leads me to believe the guy is full of shit.
|
|
|
|

if hash fast and coin terra deliver soon and in large numbers, i would hope for a partial refund to offset the cost.....wishful thinking I'm sure... lol

Unfortunately, going to need to add KNC to a list of companies I won't be dealing with after seeing this price gouging and ordering shenanigans for this next gen. (Excuse me ? You honestly wanted me to order your products through resellers that I have even less trust in than you ?!?)
Congrats to everyone that got in on this at $10k.
Newbies pay $13k ? Yeah, sorry Sam. Will be dealing with your competitors instead on principle. Life is too short to deal with that sort of nonsense.
Its not just Newbies, thats the price for previous customers as well. Are you completely discounting the events of last week where previous customers were able to order these for $10k ? when all of us ordered month ago with knc, there was possibility we were gonna be scammed, knc offered that since we believed in them, they would offer us a perk for having faith in them, 3k off the neptune was that perk... |
|

the 10k price was a promotion for early adopters.....the 13k price is what they were always going to charge to "newbies" and everyone else.....
i don't see how this is so hard to understand, have you never heard of a promotional price before?
|

I don't see how anyone could break even with a Neptune shipped in Q2....
i assume you are using the genesis block calculator.....lol |

wht special ? all members buy one miner
receive email for buy batch#1
if you say only who bought pre orders first time and they pay more 500 bucks this is correct yes these are special
1. You have it the wrong way round, the $13K price is the retail price it was always going to be. 2. The $10K price was a discounted price for previous customers, any previous customer of Batch 1 or Batch 2 devices. +1 well said! |
