I was maintaining a list, but hardly anyone has let me know about deliveries

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348957.0

It seems all the CA batch are done, that was 1,200 units less any that were refunded.

I did, and I was going to post a warning in this thread but as 3 others had already done so and the bids kept coming it seemed that people weren't interested.

Spondoolies,

Please can you add the option to purchase shipping in your store.

I wanted to send my hosted miners elsewhere, but wire transfer seems to be the only option and that's not something I can quickly or easily do.

TIA

Be thankful, it was probably a lucky escape, OP likes sending out broken equipment.

Or here's another theory, the old KNC had a reputation for over-delivering on specs and the Neptune was going to hash at 4.1TH and feature 6 cubes.

After the company ethos changed to make as much money as possible and stuff the customers (sub standard parts to save a few pennies/cents), it was decided that a 5 cube unit fulfilled their promise of 3TH and all the extra ones go their farm.

Think about it 3,600 units sold, 1 cube from each is 2,376,000 GH completely free for them.

That's designed to stop you inputting an obviously incorrect number ie with a decimal place out (but not sure what percentage it uses)

Check that isn't what's happening. If that fails delete all your current prices and start again with your new ones.

As another UK 20% duty victim, I had a look at your website but there doesn't appear to be a simple way to buy the miners + hosting at the same time.

It says you can opt in to have it hosted, and there is a promo for 12 months at a reduced rate with free PSU (which I would go for) bit couldn't see how to add either of them.

And on a personal note, that moving top menu bar is annoying as it hides what you are trying to read when you scroll down

It's on the stats page, and on the blockchain but not on the PPLNS stats, so we have a closed 0 shift after that block was found ??



EDIT: It just updated to show 1 block.

I had 20 S3's in my basket and was ready to pull the trigger, but with the 12 day delay I thought I'd hang on and see if the Dragons drop in price to be competitive.  I like having an all in one machine and my first Dragon has been rock solid at 1.02TH not a single reboot.  Plus I'm looking to move a lot of my future hashing into hosted miners as the UK is not a great place to run them.

I have my own server room and I was recently asked by another member on here if I could host some of his machines, but the problem as you have found is that the UK is not a good location to do this.

Although I have decent rates due to volume of 10p kwh, by the time you add the VAT and climate change levy it's up to around 13p kwh which is the equivalent to $0.20 in the USA

Once you have added on some for cooling, maintenance and profit the rates are just too high to be worth doing.

Another problem is the stinking 20% import duty + fees we have to pay when something is imported.

Because of this I am slowly selling off my old equipment and having my new stuff shipped to the USA to be hosted there. Because they have such low electric rates they can offer the full service for what I pay on just electic plus no taxes.

I wish you well if you move forward, but I don't see much of a demand here.

Well I'll definately take 10 of the upgraded ones, if it goes ahead I'll see if any other UK users want them so you can just do 1 shipment.

Some news from one of KNC's engineers on IRC

Should be a new firmware tomorrow.

The LCD screen can be removed and another cube plugged in, no idea if they will actually sell extra one's though.  It's a waste of a port and I don't care about the screen so personally I'd buy one if the price was right.

I doubt such a thing exists but I think the best solution to avoid warranty issues would be some sort of dual adaptor.

Something like this audio adaptor but with PCI-E plugs obviously

Mine has been running for 2 days now on the EVGA's, I chose them as I have used them to power 3 ants at a time (1200w) with no problems.

Running the neptune, the cables are a little warmer than I'm comfortable with but they aren't red hot.

Love it

Leasrigs are currently testing a new system which will get rid of the LRP and allow the use of P2Pool and even solo mining.

The only reason I use LRP is that I have lots of machines and people seem to prefer larger rigs so it's currently the only simple way to combine them.

Don't forget the 9% hardware errors

When it's pennies per day yes it's a dumb move, but unfortunately the larger the operation the more that 2% starts to be a significant factor.

I expect that the recent huge growth at ghash.io isn't a result of people with a couple of antminers, it's BIG farms with hundreds of TH or even in the PH range.

I changed the question slightly, they can't get the 'Monarch' to work, so whatever they are shipping will be called something different.
