faetos..anotherhost is just co-location service, not a full service like KNc hosting. What if you need a new part? they are only open 8-5 like a bank. Perhaps this is not correct info, but that's what I got on their website. In addition, since they ask for 1BTC deposit and say that it is essentially first month, cost would be ~$800/mo in my calc since electricity is 27c/kw in sweden.
BTW, did you really refunded all your Neptune preorders. I have two, and was thinking doing the same for at least one.
Yes, refunded them all. No longer going to bother with mining btc and will just focus on trading and my bots. Best of luck to you all. |

There's a Swedish outfit bitcoin.anotherhost.se that is taking "pre-orders" on neptune hosting for 1 btc deposit. They seem to be a solid outfit. I've never used them, but have heard good things about that crew and their service.

So, Q1 which ends March 31 = 72 days is not going to happen, right? Is April a possibility now or are we looking at May? I feel like a complete rube at this point.
dude, you are no noob as far as i know. you were here in this thread at least since last august so you should fckn know by now that any asic-vendor-delivery date will always be at the very end of the expected timeline. so that leads us to neptunes being delivered maybe in june or (as delays are no stranger to this business) even july for batch#1. you, as a "veteran" should know this by now. I wanted clarification from a company rep before I make a decision on what to do. I ask questions here for others benefit as well just not my own. KnC slipped close to their target last time so i sort of assumed they might do it this time too,but that is not the case. you are right.... these guys are just the same as the others now. |

Maybe they added more neptunes to cover the impending cancellation requets.

Mammoth 3 T product is called Maggot - hmm, srsly?
Maggot™ (3 TH/s)
$8,499
OT, sorry, but product name was too ridiculous.

I certainly appreciate his honesty. I'm conflicted on what to do at this point.

Thanks for the update on the neptunes, Sr. Orama. I appreciate the candor and the details. Happy Friday!

1421 pages. I wonder what percentage of that content is OT.
on topic - KnC - I want an update on the status of the Neptunes, please.

Has the latest batch of Neptunes sold out yet?
Go to the Knc website, enter 1000 miners in your cart, and it will tell you how many are left (228 right now). Neptune sales have definitely slowed down, and unless Knc releases some really good Neptune development news or the price of BTC goes up significantly, I doubt they will sell many more for a while. 10k is a lot to pay to be at the end of the Neptune line. What will be truly insane is the price that people on e-Bay will pay for them when they roll out. |

That's the reason I asked it. This is actually a good newbie thread. They can see why people have the reaction that they do. Questions about actual products are ignored, but personal attacks are engaged with fervor. If I were looking to invest in a company's products would I invest in a company who's C-Level executives act in such a manner? Probably not.

Good job on the interview O'Rama. You did great.

Just in case anyone is interested in calculating their actual power consumption, you should know that the amount listed by bertmod or the new 0.99.2 firmware does not include all factors like fans or PSU inefficiencies. As you can see, my Jupiter shows 1140w on the Advanced page, but my kill-a-watt meter shows 1300w at the wall. I would recommend multiplying the amount you see on the Advanced tab or from bertmod by 1.15 for a realistic estimate.
what kind of Jupiter are you running? my Jupiters are drawing from 570W to 590W at the wall all with 0.95 firmware. BTW. 240v power supplies V1000 cooler Master gold Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm running 6 modules overclocked at 1TH/s. I found the same 1.15 power multiplier was necessary when running 4 modules at stock speed though. I wonder how much recent overclocking, as above has effected the hashrate as well? I mean if enough are savvy enough to push out another 10-15% it has to make some kind of dent... Absolutely! I've wondered this myself since most of the hashing power out there is KnC hardware. On another note, it seems like those 2nd gen Avalon clones are sprouting up like wildfire! I've got 13 of 'em arriving sometime between 1/20 and 1/22. I think that KnC's competition doesn't look the way they expected (HashFast & Cointerra), but rather dozens of Chinese 'shops' cranking these things out like mad. I was going to mention Avalon, a little birdy brought this to my attention to day. They have a load of 200gh/s 55nm hitting the market right now, but that cannot be solely responsible. Also does that mean the hardware is all being pre-mined (again), or delivered? There are also privately sourced operations hitting the network, too. As bitcoin becomes more popular then you'll see more privately funded mining ops using their own custom made hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if these hardware manufacturers started making their own clones and started mining as well. |
