Wait until the devs lower the transaction fee to less than 0.0001.
We really need that ASAP. Any ETA on this? Perhaps its in the works.  |

So anyone going all in for the Neptune batch 2?
$13k for 3TH is too expensive, and the "Q1/Q2" timeframe too nebulous, for me. There will be a lot of other hardware choices out there prior to that. I have a batch 1 order and that's all I'm willing to stake at this point. The first batch caught us before we could get our funds together. The second batch is indeed far riskier... If more Jupiters had been available -- we would have ordered a "Six Module" version... Too bad -- looking at other things through necessity now. This is especially true if they ended up selling 1200 units on the first batch rather than pull it half way like some have suggested. |

After seeing the batch 2 prices & 3-4 week ship delay, happy I went all in with Batch 1. My first neptune was 12.4 BTC but when I placed my next order I got 3 neptunes for under 30BTC after shipping! BTC price rise was a beautiful thing. I have no doubt each Neptune will mine more than 10 coins each.
Now I pray KNC offers a hosting service so I can dock the 4 of these for a year.
Congrats on the move.  Slow and steady. |

How big are their batches?
I would like to know that also. Would help predict future network difficulty. |

Order KNCMiner 2nd GenRemember that this Batch is Minimum 3TH Speed System ETA Q1/Q2 2014 Do you think it will sell out in 24 72 hours? nope, it takes about 4 to 5 days then it will be sold out. The most orders are vapororders. After they received the money from 1200 orders, they will stop selling. It is moving fast... |

https://www.kncminer.com/pages/paymentIn the end we have decided to open up to allow PayPal payments as well. The main reason for this was to allow people to enter the market. Rather than to only cater for people who have managed to trade or mine the appropriate amount of coins already.
Why did they stop accepting PayPal/CC? Having a payment method with some consumer protection was nice while it lasted. This may have been for the first gen asic's However now that they are proven not a scam they do not need the overhead. one can argue that since people are buying up units at this price leaves little reason to use those payment methods. |

BtcChina is currently having 40-45% share of day trades. To me it looks like Chinese superceded Gox, not like diversification. Atleast not yet.
As you can see the volume charts on the right of this screen shot mtgox for the past day has been higher then on BTCChina and bitstamp following close behind.  |

True, however it does show that they are being ordered and paid for.
ordered = yes....paid for = no Not sure. I and other purchasers who had placed an order had noticed that the 1500 never budged even after paying with btc. It only went down once the the order status moved to paid. |

Historically speaking a good move is buy and hold btc until the next wave of hardware/difficulty happens.

My nov batch still payed and not in progress. Anyone else?
Any news from KNC?
IF they get all orders out in 2 weeks that is a great thing. For those that had their original orders canceled and were hoping to get in on the 2nd batch. Your queue situation would be welcomed. |

I know, i'm an asshole. I had so much luck in the past month....
The problem with these clear cut claims is that even KnCMiner was considered to be a scam. Now that KnC has their 2nd gen equipment open to the public for pre-order, cointerra will be having competition as to hardware sales. |

Hardware is hard to get it seems.
Many have their reasons to pay these prices.
I myself have 2 on order.
I am not arguing the prices. They are a little high, but btc is high. KNC could sell as many as they wanted of the Jupiters for 13k each. 550gh in hand for 13k or 3th preorder for 13k, the unit in hand will win every time. asic blades are going for 600each that would be 33k for 550gh worth of blades. Your reasoning is sound. Yet consider that they wish to use the skilled and now experienced human resources to work on the next gen hardware. |

Im looking to get at least 1TH of mining power within the next two weeks any way possible. Every 'cloud mining' option seems too shady. Every legit hardware is at least Feb. CEX is now like 75k for 1TH... Any other viable options?
pre-order it from Black arrow, they seems like having the best deal in market... KnCMiner future tech is open to the public. Bitfury may bring out another batch of hardware as well. |

So, can someone explain to me how the tuning suite works? I am literally just guessing at what I am doing....although my Sat. now Jupiter has been hashing at a decent rate, apparently after having tweaked it slightly where I think it needed tweaking....it now seems to have a steadier and slightly higher hashing rate. But some guidance or explanation of what things do and the danger zones would be nice...my 2 satoshis....
SPI Voltate is for the communication chanel I believe. Underneath that for each asic and for each die you can change the voltage: 0V = no change from the original value. +value = you increase the voltage from original value -value = you decrease the voltage from original value My personal experience is: increasing the PSI voltage to is max settings at 3.3V and then for each die with problems increase its voltage substantially and if it helps then decrease it in small increment to find its lowest possible stable value. Cypher, thanks. I did realize that lowering the number actually raises the volts....anyway, would like to get more input from other members, especially KNC.... I will have to see if this works with batch 1 miners. |

I am looking forward to what they can bring to market. Seems we have a few big waves of hardware hitting the network in the comming months. |
