I highly reccomend taking it off ebay. You are going to get a chargeback at worseand a forced refund at best. Plenty of people selling mining hardware have been burned like this. I hope you take my advice. If you do ill pay you 13 btc in person, the offers on ebay are more likely scam offers
that was only for PREorders, not for items IN HAND. exactly. hes just using a scare tactic so i sell to him. lol. the tipical "christian" thing to do heh |

thanks! its a new rig, haswell, watercooled etc. its actually at my office so free electricity! lol. and its always cold in there, so temps stay nice and low.
i got my jalepeno just a couple days ago actually. it runs great actually, stays at around 31 degrees.

well i mean in general. im hoping they are staying tight lipped because they are on schedule or slightly ahead with the whole production.

please please please can we stop talking about die and package size. lets wait until we see some more specs or a picture first....
ANYWAY
im really hoping they are sandbagging us and making the units now. that would be a huge surprise if they delivered early.

someone locally offered me 2000 for my other jally, so i sold it. ebay is now updated and less greedy. lol

i still dont understand why they went with such a giant die size? clearly i am no engineer, but i thought 28nm was supposed to be SMALLER.
28nm is simply the lithography line width. It does allow you to pack more transistors into the same space. The problem is their design, IMHO. They are trying to produce a "super chip" with many many many SHA256 engines in it. Other companies are making fewer engines, and "uniting" them on the board. The theoretical of what KNC is doing is better, but the practical (i.e. what we know from 30 years of IC production) means it is going to have a high rate of defective or partially defective chips. It also means it will be a HOT chip and take some good cooling (probably why they have designed things in a "wind tunnel" type design). man, thats the best explanation i have heard so far. thanks for that!! |

Bitfury got just sample chips 5gh on video only 1,2gh passive cooling, they even do not now what happed with chips at 5gh with cooling. The knc if it's true 100gh per chip doesn't need so many per unit. I know it's stupid question but is pre bordering ope n or closed 4 mars? Except that the KNC chips are MASSIVE in size (expensive to produce) and the Bitfury chips are TINY (and thereby CHEAP). KNC - ~3000mm2 BitFury - ~16mm2 I've gone over this before about why HUGE chips are very very bad for profitability (i.e. low chip yields) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=244584.msg2680796#msg2680796In full disclosure, I have a Bitfury order in process. I bought it because that was looking to be first to market when I made my purchase. I also have Terrahash on order, and that's looking to be a painful experience. i still dont understand why they went with such a giant die size? clearly i am no engineer, but i thought 28nm was supposed to be SMALLER. |

So with an order today you expect a shipment when??
When the Moon and the Sun shine together and the dead rise from their graves. But seriously, try reading the last fucking pages. Thanks for the help n00b. If they had a meaningful and updated OP I wouldn't have to ask. No, you're just being a lazy ass. |

I mean:
-> e.g. you ordered and payed for a Saturn on 20th June
-> Now you upgrade to Jupiter lets say on 10th August - you also do your "upgrade" payment on 10th August
What is the "paying" date for your order? 20th June oder 10th August? As far as I understood this will have big impact on delivery date of your machine due KnC said "First paid, first serve".
I think the order/payment position of your Saturn remains, and the new order for the upgrade gets a new position. Meh w.r.t. production you're talking of a module or two added to an existing order, not a brand new order of multiple units. No one will have ordered multiple Saturns when they could pay less for Jupiters and an odd Saturn at the end if that's what they could afford at the time. So even in that example at worst it's an additional two modules to an order... How would you add modules to an existing order? That's not possible in their shop. Wow, read dude, the update was all of a few hours ago! i think he means the actual order shop, the webpage doesnt allow it. i believe they will be adding that functionality later this week. |

As I see, their concept is fully upgradable. Same case, same PCB, just one, two or four "Asic units".
I presume you could upgrade one unit at a time, say to three units from two if you wanted... so we could make our own "neptune" units. lol |

What do you mean with "technically pay later"?
I mean: -> e.g. you ordered and payed for a Saturn on 20th June -> Now you upgrade to Jupiter lets say on 10th August - you also do your "upgrade" payment on 10th August What is the "paying" date for your order? 20th June oder 10th August? As far as I understood this will have big impact on delivery date of your machine due KnC said "First paid, first serve". you are over complicating things. your original pay date will stick. |
