Too bad I don't have a 220 line. I doubt 110 will work with it.

Just remember that if part of the reason for the recent difficulty hike is bitmain testing S3's, when they go to sell them the difficulty doesn't increase more. Hastrate is only changing hands and not being newly produced.

Nah, that's a crock. Not sure how much you pay for electricity but that seems outlandish

After S3 release you will see a significant Difficulty jump. Will be the same as S1 first orders will get better results.

I would like to learn how to trade, and this is my way of doing it.  I would like to learn how to trade because the recent bear market taught me the disadvantages of holding. 

The price is fine for now, but i'll be a little worried if the price fail to rise (and stay) above $600 by July 1st.

Every auction I've ever observed sold its wares for prices ludicrously over their market value. I think the average buyer thinks they're going to get a bargain because it's an auction. If everyone else thinks that then bargains go out the window.

I wouldn't want to make any predictions about this auction though. It's a unique happening.

this situation reminds me about:


well... Bitcoin price is "Rebels" and "Empire" will be those who are bearish... in this case.

What will make a price go over $700?

We need to support harded! Better! Stronger! and forever!

Gonna be biggest diff jump yet?

Technically the Neptune's boxes draw a total of ~1900W if you factor in AC/DC efficiency.  Molex's PCI-E keyed parts are rated for 8A per pin, so ~24A.  Which, at 12V gives you a rated operational power level of 288W.  However, in reality when you load things 24/7 you should de-rate them by 80%, so really any competent EE would not have these connectors drawing over ~230W (~19A @ 12V) in this type of application.  Now, we don't know the part number of the plug that KnC used, and some of Molex's Mini-fit Jr plugs handle up to 13A a pin which would allow ~468W running at their rating.  De-rate that and you're at ~375W which is just shy of each cubes ~380W draw.

TL;DR: There's 1 PCI-E cable per box, so yes: shitty Engineering.

Well, with my estimate of more than half of the neptune orders refunded (because more than half the miners can do basic maths) and some people who went for the frankenjupiters,
they have easily got 1000+ Neptunes to simply install in their DC.

They are testing something now, check out the KNC Miner moving to third position today.  https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs

Hey guys/gals(if any), shipping of the Neppy's is nearing ever so closely..has anyone done the mining calculations? one of my friends has 4 Neppy's incoming batch 2(order #180XX), he is pretty upset now because after doing his mining calculations he told me he would be lucky to mine 30BTC by Dec 2014 with all 4 Neps hashing away, is this true ? can anyone elaborate with possibly some calculations from more seasoned mining veterans?

~Thanks
