Something tells me that if there was any scamming afoot, the hosting option would not be priced as it is. Perhaps electricity is more expensive there, but that just seems a bit high? Was figuring they would take a percentage of the coins mined, but the release reads like payment may be requested in USD? Just have to wait for more details and see I guess. After reading that portion of the update, I'm now seriously thinking about having my unit shipped.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Power for this toy is expensive.. So price is not that bad. You also get cooling in that price. Longer lifetime of the unit than hosting it in the closet.. If you buy more than 2-3 of jupiters, using home solution might not be good enough. |

Call me a gambler but I feel more confident about these guys than I ever did about BFL. I'm still waiting on my equipment; I will never do business with them again based solely on the poor customer relationship skills they have demonstrated. Here's hoping for an October delivery from Sweden!

If they payment is request in USD, Then just think about how you have so many more possibilities of "refunding" your money. IE you payed with CC/Paypal USD=Refundable If you payed with the Glorious Bitcoin, then you cant Refund on your own, You need them to do it for you, and they will have to to a conversion rate and hand you back equivalent USD. So why not just stay on USD? |

Is there anything said by KNC how they will divide the units once ready between paying customers and the ones they will use for mining themselves?

In Europe you easily pay 0,30$ per 1000W/h. We use too much green energy here  0,3$*24h*30days = 216$ alone for energy per month.... :-/ So from my point of view pricing is ok |

Energy peaks at .12$ per 1000W/h (I think) where I am. All I know is that I'm running 4x750 PSUs for a LTC mining rig and that's about $250 a month. Have to re-evaluate closer to the ship date depending on where difficulty and BTC/USD are, and make a decision from there. |

You mean Mercury to Jupiter? According to the drawings on their website, it should. |

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". |

As I see, their concept is fully upgradable. Same case, same PCB, just one, two or four "Asic units".

You can guarantee your unit will be looked after, serviced in case of failure promptly and kept cool with hosting. Northern Sweden ain't warm at any point of the year... |

I presume you could upgrade one unit at a time, say to three units from two if you wanted... |
