What I need to know is, how can i point my KnC to my server (the coin client running in server mode). I was thinking... just "url" : " http://192.168.0.5:12345", (IP of the PC with the Client running as the server) "user" : "myusername.worker", "pass" : "1234" And in the conf file in roaming just RPC allow 192.168.x.x Yes, you point cgminer to the ip of the computer running bitcoin qt. Exact same configuration as gpus, only when you run jupiter you'll get errors saying it can't keep up. So you need to use some kind of stratum pool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3617383;topicseen#msg3617383e.g. eloipool It's kind of a pointless exercise unless you want to solo mine alts, which is not a good idea while your knc rig can still mine some bitcoin via a pool.

Out of curiosity. Is there someone among the dudes that preordered neptunes, that has done an actual estimation for difficulty and ROI?
History has proven its a fruitless excercise. very very rough estimation without evidence to proof it...just gut feeling: 4.2K Thera - Neptune 1st Batch (1200 Neptunes) 1k Thera - Bitmine (estimation I dont know how many machines they sold out) 2k Theras - Hashfast (500 Theras just for IceDrill group...no idea how many machines each batch) 2k Theras - Cointerra (no idea how many machines each batch) --------------------- 9.2 P Hashes at least in the next 6 months you miss a lot of H/s along the way. use this as a start https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283820.0take into account that the aformentioned estimate is not exhaustive. e.g it doesn't include bitmain's off the shelf products https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348747.0

I'm order Naptune on 28th. But, it's automatically cancelled. Why this?
which payment method? if bank wire this quote from https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-71 could be relevant All bank transfers that were initiated before 11:00am CET this morning will be honored. If your order has been cancelled and you have already transfered funds it will be marked as paid when the funds reach our accounts. But as of now do not initiate any more transfers.

THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT THREAD, STAY ON TOPIC
If BTC value had gone down you would complain, as it happens BTC value has gone up and guess what people are still complaining. Suck It UP and get on with it, look to the future not the past!!!
well said. Very often people looking at mining business is a short term, 2 weeks business. It took me 7 months to break even when BTC at 25 dollar. Then price jump up and my asset increase by 5 times, it took almost 1 year to get to this point right now. Guys, consider this is a long term investment and effort. If you want to get rich quick, go back to day trade instead of mining.

You really don't get it. It is how many bitcoins your miner will ever make against how many bitcoins you could have bought instead of the miner. Btc value in dollars is irrelevant.

You really don't get it. It is how many bitcoins your miner will ever make against how many bitcoins you could have bought instead of the miner. Btc value in dollars is irrelevant. As someone who clearly understands that one is likely to end up with more BTC by simply purchasing them than mining them in the end, let me explain why I choose to mine. It's called hedging your bets. Effectively, I've sold my BTC for $845/each when I purchased the Neptunes. If BTC price collapses, I can ask for a refund in US dollars (Remember, KnC never receives any BTC through Bitpay and will always refund in USD). In this scenario, I will not lose any USD. The highest risk in this example is that KnC refuses to refund. In the event that BTC price continues to increase (my hope), I will likely mine less BTC than I spent, but will still end up with more USD at a lower risk than just holding BTC.

People that say buy BTC not miners just want the difficulty to stay low so that they can mine more BTC. Holding BTC has it's own stress. Friend of mine purchased $20k of BTC when it was near its high during the summer. He then panicked when it dropped below $80 and sold. Unless you have a crystal ball that can predict the future, you are better off buying mining equipment.

Unless your friend really needed the money invested in BTC then he is a big moron. There was no reason to sell at 80$ or even at 10$. He could just hold the BTC for 1-2-5-10 years until the price was right for him. There is simply no explanation for his move only the urgent need of money.

Easy to say! and if you have experience of crypto fair enough, but if you are new and you see a massive drop then im sure a lot of people would do the same. I for one have brought height and sold low... But people fear that BTC is a fad. and for us that are deeply engrossed in crypto we know it's not going to tank, but an outsider doesn't see the world in the same way we do. But this is a KNCminer thread so. Please can we stay completely related to KnC mining equipment. Let's stick to topic. I think with mining, you have a control of what the outcome are, also, because it's hard earning coins, you are not easily driven by emotion where trading is VERY emotional some time.

Do you even understand what you are saying? You buy mining equipment with dollars to hedge against bitcoin collapsing Converting btc to usd is a way to hedge. You don't have to buy mining equipment with those money! (wth isn't that pretty obvious) On top of that by paying 10k now with the option to get a refund 5(!) months later you are still losing money. It's like giving them a free loan. Actually you do a bad investment but you are doing it with a hedge strategy against the worst case scenario. It's stiil a bad investment.

I didn't want a phone call...a fucking email would have been nice though. 1st I heard was on this forum, hours after the things were sold. I bought a KNC machine mainly based on it's ability to be upgraded
I got an email. Did you not sign up for their email newsletter?

Have you got a tracking no.? I have not yet received a UPS tracking number for my November Jupiter, and November's almost over. I think they have about 7 more hours of November left in Sweden right now. All orders placed today will ship in November.
