In case anyone is going to be ordering a Neptune, please consider using Wesley's link, just one more unit to go until we have a full additional neptune.

Right.  So OP's comment, while technically correct, was completely misleading.  His pool had a lucky string of days.  He will not make that day in/day out.

It certainly seems like some of you say intentionally misleading/inflammatory shit, in the hopes someone will call you out on it.  Then we get to have a multi-page, retarded debate on semantics.  

Well for me, I'm just sharing how things have been going.. never intended to imply it will remain that way.

Unless of course, myself or whomever, adds hashing power at every difficulty hop.

In fairness to vesperwillow, my November Jupiter, hashing at 660GHs had been averaging 0.5 BTC a day since it arrived last week. The last 24 hours have been a bit slower as there have been some longer running blocks, but it's still been about 0.38 on Slush's pool.

Use eligius if you want less variance.

[EdMine]

Thanks for the tip CeeCee. I think I need to go and read a bit more about variance.

[Beans]

Mine was getting 680gh when I got it. Then the psu got switched off, now it runs at 600-640gh. Anyone else run into the same issue?

a bit offtopic but seems important enought to post:

All November units arrived in a reasonable time and function as (or above) advertised.  Just like batch one.

Five stars KnC, really good stuff.

  they still assembling and hopefully deliver until end of this week the Nov batch! toxic coffee in the morning?

nooooooo... I don't know if all the Nov units are out, but I think most of them must be.  My nov units were order #92xx, got them Friday (USA).

92xx is nothing, I think the order #s go up to 105xx at least

With Wednesday over in Sweden, all remaining U.S. orders can now expect delivery no earlier than Dec. 9th.

A large number of "November" units will get about a day at current diff.  

On the bright side, as a result of the delayed shipping the increase will not be quite as large now.  

So we got that going for us, which is nice.

I have stated this before....but i wonder if knc doesn't delay shipping or hold back some depending on the state of difficulty....i think they do try to look out for the network in general but maybe not.

[opentoe]

Will Neptune have hosting or only sold as shipped units?

I've asked a number of times and so far they have not given any details or if they plan on offering hosted services.  I hope so,  got 4 neptunes and didn't want to run new circuits in my house but i will if i have to.

If you had $36k to spend on hardware for 4-6 months away you surely can get an electrician and throw some new lines in your home for you. People need to remember if they live in an area where it gets hot in the summer months it could be a big battle to keep things cool. Throwing just fans on it isn't going to cut it. Installing AC units also cost a fortune and eat electricity big time.

[DeathAndTaxes]

We've got a 106xx order and we still don't have a tracking code.  Does anyone know the latest order number to have shipped today?

Well someone with 101xx got their shipping details last night, so hopefully we are at 102xx or 103xx tonight.

103XX.   Have tracking number but it is NOT moving.   just says the label was made, not picked up yet.

WTF?  102XX and nothing.  I guess they are just shipping them out at random?

[RickJamesBTC]

Ok I can finally post! I've been lurking for a long time, gpu mining a year ago small scale. I just got one of the november jupiters I ordered and it fired right up working great. Avg hash rate in the interface is 660, but I'm getting an average of 10% hw errors. Seems way too high. I've been playing around with making the unit warmer (ambient temp is around 40) but all that did was cause a few of the vrms to have a "fault 4". Max temp on two of the asics was 70c. After resetting the machine and removing the covers that were keeping airflow down, it is still averaging 650-660 with 10% errors. There are only a few cores that get turned off and on occasionally. Never more than 15 cores off total across all the boards. Avg hashrate at my pool is showing near 600, which would be right for 660 - 10%.

Any ideas what I can do to improve it? Do I just need to wait for the knc tuning fw to be released for the Nov units?
Thanks!

BTW. After reading this board for a long time, and wading through all the bickering nonsense that trolls keep saying in this thread, KNC is obviously the only company doing the job right. I waited a long time to get involved in ASICs, but came close to ordering from BFL a few times. I'm glad I didn't. Maybe I would have received a unit by now, but it would be 50gh for about what I spent on each 660 gh jupiter. Cointerra is still a bust, hashfast is still a bust. Why don't the trolls and kids just get out of this thread and get a life  I thought I'd be getting 450-500 gh miners when I ordered them less than a month ago, instead I get 660 and it is a complete unit that fired up in less than five minutes after UPS came.  I'm thinking about selling one of these to purchase a Neptune (or two) because I have a strong feeling that KNC will deliver those on time in a few months, with a lot more power than advertised.

My orders started  in the 9900s, and started arriving today, tracking numbers received monday.

Neptune units for order are down to there are only 980/1500

[RickJamesBTC]

What?

[soy]

I understand that the first batch of Jupiters had to make over 70 coins to break even in BTC and that was going to be tough...  but how can you look at a Neptune and say that it will produce less than 10 coins.    My two jupiters today still create 1 coin a day (combined).      The risk is very different than it was with purchasing Jupiters when BTC was at $100.  

unless you've got 2 November Jupiters pushing 700GH/s each I find it had to believe you can mine 1 BTC a day.

please explain how you're doing this if it's true.
or is it a mistake and you're calculations are incorrect.

I have less than 200gh pointed to slush right now, and I'm making .25btc/day. I have no doubt he's making 1btc/day.

All the profit calcs that i've tried tell me that at current diff 200gh will produce 0.1422 btc a day

*shrug*, variance and luck. I'm getting confirms of just over .01X btc/hr, as I have been for a couple weeks now. It'll lower in a few days, of course.

Right.  So OP's comment, while technically correct, was completely misleading.  His pool had a lucky string of days.  He will not make that day in/day out.

It certainly seems like some of you say intentionally misleading/inflammatory shit, in the hopes someone will call you out on it.  Then we get to have a multi-page, retarded debate on semantics.   

Looks like the pool gods heard you.  Slow block turnover on Slush.

Slush hashrate up and return on blocks has dropped.  I'd say they're out and mining.

They are shipping by date of payment, not order number!

[RickJamesBTC]

I know it's against tradition, but I've got another question that actually has something to do with a KNC miner!  Bertmod says that I'm only using 660 watts at the current levels. I haven't bothered to plug into my kill a watt yet, but why did I have to buy these 1300w power supplies again? Is there a whole lot more hash power available in these boxes?

truth is if you are running 2 220v lines for your 2 neptunes you probably (unless central air and some new creative "duct work" to the asic room) you probably will need a pretty heavy duty a/c unit if window sized ..you guessed it 220v...so figure on 3 lines 220 for this to work imho

my 2c worth ( i suppose I could go to a gas stove and dryer and pull this off but with 100amps er...maybe not..have a brother with comercial space 12 miles away will prob go that route)

anyway my 2c worth

Yes.

[RickJamesBTC]

They haven't been selling Jupiters for weeks. That's why people are paying 25K for them on ebay!
