To All and specially to Bitcoinorama. Today marks the beginning of my positive ROI after I sold the proceed of 29 days of mining (59 BTC with 2 Jup). My wife cannot complain anymore about that investment she does not really trust or understand. But starting now everything is mine (Pun intended). So I would like to congratulate my fellow miners with their wise decision and the luck that has come with the BTC sharp rise. Also, a well deserved KUDOS for Bitcoinorama. The time he spent inquiring about KNC and other companies in this forum has been just mesmerizing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Now my expectations from KNC are very simple, they proved to our community they could deliver a product on time: A World Premier. Can they play the transparency card now??? Can they share with us the amount GH/s they sold??? I do not have to be a math genius to understand the premise of the current HASH WAR!!! The cake is not expending but the money invested in that new industry is. I really do not want to be a buy and hold BTC investors but the lack of clarity does not justify that kind of investment anymore. From that perspective, Crumbs has been so right it is not even funny. I do not want to be the thanksgiving turkey of our dear minermakers. KNC Do you hear me, we want more transparency!!!! Haha Cheers bro! It's fantastic news for you and makes fills me with positive karma to have stuck to my guns honesty wise. Though it was your decision to make. I just reasoned my own judgement and supported it. If you followed through confirming what I shared was accurate, as I always stated, then more power to you buddy ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Personally if you paid at the dollar price in dollars you want to clear that. Why if you are confident in Bitcoin increasing in value would you risk them on a pre-order for a future device if you think the Bitcoins will be worth more in the future? Goes against common sense and logic in my mind. Anyway tip jar's below, don't be shy!! Everyone else has been pretty flakey, bar Roadstress and Bargraphics and a handful of others, hasn't even covered the first set of flights... ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

You might have broken even in $ terms, but that misses the point of the machines, and is the fallacy that keeps people buying all these ASIC machines (and stops wives complaining Tongue )
You paid around 120BTC until it gives you that many back it's not a good investement
If you insist on thinking in $, if you hadn't bought the machines you'd now have $14,000.
You are mathematically correct but that is not the point I made. My post is all about the transparency of the mining industry. I am just glad I did not lose my shirt as so many did in the past. Buying the miners provides me with a feeling of belonging and contributing to an idea that is way bigger than me and I feel good about it! Don't you? Peace

Also there were definitely better opportunities all over the world making more profit than buying and holding BTC but you don't mention those. At the end of the day, Getting more than you put in is a success and congrats to everyone that has so far.

The argument has, and always will be, that it was much smarter to have purchased coins with your $'s than purchasing a miner. This is the point people are making in regards to making a return, it is also the point you're missing. You can powder it with sugar and twist it to your liking if it makes you feel better, but the bottom line is what the bottom line is.

People REALLY need to think in terms of BTC first when investing in miners and secondary the exchange rate since mining is also investing in BTC over a period of time. The goal of any miner should be to mine more BTC than they could buy at the time of purchase. Until people realize this miners will be overpriced.

Sold 10 BTC this morning on Coinbase at $248USD but then tried to sell some more this afternoon and Coinbase has shutdown it's sells of BTC! WTH! Just an FYI for everyone....
Quote From CoinBase when trying to sell BTC: "Sorry, the maximum number of sells on Coinbase has been reached for today. Please try again in 24 hours. We'll continue raising this limit over time."

Profit (No matter how it was obtained) is profit. If you had $5 before you purchased your Jupiter and now you have $10 and a Jupiter, you did well even if you COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA had $20.

Congrats to the guy who mined 59 bitcoins with two Jupiters.
How many bitcoins have fellow miners pulled in, cause even for a Day 1 59 for two Jupiters seems high.
I have 12 got my miner 16th octorber, but had trouble with cards early on , even with the problems I think I am only 5 short in top of my 12.

Another note BAD RESULTS with 0.98.1 production... Big "Dwindledown" this time...
going back to beta....
after how many hours you notice the performance drop? I waited overnight... the 3 sats lost over 60Gh/s overnight.... The moment I re-loaded beta... back to the sky... Was there a change from the beta to the release? I'm still on beta which has been rock solid at 550+ GH/s with no dwindledown...

first, OFCOURSE the exchange rate plays a huge part but that is just one of the moving pieces. purchased equipment, mined btc, sold btc, paid off all equipment and now can continue mining for profit. sounds perfect. could have bet his cash at a casino and have more or less money today. the point is, equipment is paid off and now climbing into the profits!

No, I agree that his decision to buy a Jupiter resulted in a positive return for him regardless of circumstances. You do understand we've only been mining for a month maximum for some of us. It's going to be damn close to BTC break even by the end of 6 months of hosting. By then I'll have around the same BTC that I would have had purchasing them AND a piece of history (The Jupiters). They may even still be profitable then and continue mining ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

interesting, did you try the 0.98.1 beta by any chance? My results seem best with it, over the production 0.98.1, or any other..... just asking...

Of course its about the $ value How would you feel about ROI on miner hardware if the reverse was true? If you had paid 100 BTC for a miner when BTC was worth $100 You mined 101 BTC but BTC value dropped to $50 Would you say you have made a ROI? I'd say not. Some people don't find trading BTC a satisfying vocation or even pasttime. Some people like to mine. As far as hobbies go if my Jupiter makes as much as it cost me in $ and then some then I am happy enough and fuck what the wife thinks, at least I'm not pissing it away in the pub ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) People should have more respect for miners, for without them ROI or not there would be no BTC in the first place for people to trade. Let us have our fun without rubbing our noses in it.
