It's difficult to always project difficulty out. When I project it out, I generally do the worst case scenario.
With 30% difficulty jumps, with 10% lower difficulty per jump, an early July delivery Neptune that has a total cost of 11000 USD @ 0.15kWh, will still be profitable in 2014 (although just barely), at a 750 Bitcoin valuation. These are not small jumps at all and I would consider it the worst case scenario (first jump is 400m, 450m, 500m, ect)
@Avenger, I do agree that buying and holding has been historically better. I believe most individuals that purchased various hardware in BTC would today have opted to buy and hold. Any Day 1 / Day 2 owners that can comment how much their units have generated to date in BTC? Let us know what device and average GH is as well. It is possible that you could have mined enough, and sold your coins and miners when it was at an ATH to earn 70k+ off a single miner. I think we're approaching that point where an original BTC investment may pay off. Of course, a year down the line, we may look at today very differently - that's what I love about this ride.
I have a day one jupiter (that was actually shipped on day one) that has already passed the BTC required to break even. If i was to sell the unit, i would be very much in the black. It was clearly a good investment from a BTC and Fiat standpoint I also have a "day 1" Jupiter that arrived on Oct 7th. I also upgraded it to 6-modules and overclocked it to 1TH/s. The upgrade modules have already payed for themselves in terms of btc spent (5.8btc) and my uptime has been 99.99%. I mine on Eligius, slush's pool, and bitminter. I don't believe many have mined more btc than I have with a Jupiter and I've yet to break even in terms of btc (not that I'm complaining - I'm a very happy customer so far). I don't believe you are in the black in terms of btc. What was your purchase date for your day 1 Jupiter and how many btc have you mined so far?

Awesome, thanks for sharing that! That's our very own 'Orama getting interviewed for those of you new to the scene. Skip to ~8:30 for the relevant part: "We're still waiting for competition..." -in regards to shipping more Jupiters. Or skip to 18:30 for "we will be selling them if not february later this month" Yay fyi with 30% DIFF per change.(my 'modest' guess) ..and my 555gh Jupiter is (at least for the next 1 day at 0.17btc/day....do that change every 12 days....down the calender...er .....not good not good at all on getting another Jupiter....not good either if the Neptunes come out after april 1st say shudder Searing

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I just installed 0.99.2-tuning and am trying out bfgminer. Does anyone else get extremely high HW errors (~13%) with bfgminer like I do? I usually get ~1.25% with cgminer. I'd really like to use bfgminer to identify which cores are causing HW errors, but this is ridiculous. I got the same thing when I tried it with bertmod, but hoped it was something specific to bertmod.

I'm beginning to think the Jupiter's aren't going to launch. Every time I talk to KNC they make it sound like they still have no plans and they make it sound like the Neptune is coming first.
I think the amount of people wanting to cancel their Neptune's for more Jupiter's is quite high and they might be questioning themselves now.
People aren't stupid. The difficulty is going to run away from everyone. KNC is going to obliterate the diff once again like they did last year and people want to mine now rather than wait.
Well KNC staff posted in the KNC Forums that Neptunes 2nd batch they still have for sale are "going fast" ...so I'd safely assume NO CHANCE of any Jupiters being released into the wild before that batch of Neptunes are sold out.....imho but yeah...if they are ahead of the timeline they set for themselves for selling Neptunes.....(whatever that is) it is unlikely we will see any more Jupiters at any price *I'm unsure on how I feel on this me and 2 brothers have 2 Neptunes on order 1 batch one 1 batch 2....on the other hand have USD for Jupiters if priced right...hmmmm...I'm on the fence?" add to that my current 555gh Jupiter to the best of my knowledge is mining .18 btc /day and difficulty is projected more or less 30 percent again ...so you run that out ways...say I get my Jupiter NEW batch er.....by 2nd week of Feb say....what I'd be looking at maybe .10 btc/day....then Neptunes come out by april 1st say? anyway seems awful tight imho so I too still think it is a no go (I do however have a corsair 1200i just in case and 30 days to send it back..i'm sooooooo conflicted" confused ..this bitcoin stuff makes my head hurt...... Searing Do I have to say it again? Jupiter's were never going to be for sale. KNC pumped led us all on into thinking to "get some coins handy", was for an upcoming Jupiter sale then a huge coincidence, without notice or anything a Neptune sale pops up. I don't know why anyone doesn't believe this or think a company would actually do that to incur sales. This is what companies do. A little lie here, a little lie here, all to make more sales and more money in the pocket. KNC was fully aware of other companies taking pre-orders and possibly may come out before their Neptunes so they had to think of something right away to make us not pre-order anything else and give them time to prepare to list the Neptunes again. And yes, this is may hard opinion on this. Your idea only affects people who can only buy one machine, or have no coins to play with. It's really not a big deal. It's also not a lie, when they didn't promise they were selling them, just said they might. They still say they might, and people won't buy them if they wait too long. As it is, nobody else is shipping anything significant, except crazy overpriced BFL and antminer. Thinking that telling us jupiters would be available soon, then posting a new price on neptunes for far in the future is some dishonest act, is nuts. As for sales, listen to the bitcoinorama interview with engadget. They did amazing sales on neptunes. Huge dollars heading in. Probably more than anyone else, and the customers will be happy with what they receive just like most of us were with jupiters. WHERE?

should make a plaque....fear is my constant companion since I got a bitcoin rig.....(will someone steal it?...will the house burn down?...will my wallet get hacked...?. alas and I was so nice and bored the middle of this year......gonna put the game server back up...my life was a big yawn..found out about bitcoin (ack!) expected with my oct 18th miner at 150usd per btc to pay it off in 6 monrhs or more then with the modest diff rise...maybe get 1/2 year or more of free utils on the house nice modest little hobby (yeah right) now i have 37 coins since oct 18th ( www.mtgox.com is over 1K btc now again).... will likely have at least 45 coin out of the beast....maybe a bit more.... Two Neptune orders with my 2 brothers (1 batch 1 and 1 batch 2) and 12k in the bank ...on the 'off chance" of maybe if price is "really reallly right" getting some 'mythical' re-release Jupiters soonish? also have 1/3 down on alpha tech litecoin asic miner via paypal cc amex ...but that is looking sketchy as heck so will likely pull that in the 45 day window...BFL refugee have a window to jump out on that idea should I need to.... sheesh......it really was just supposed to be a modest hobby for crying out loud! What about the rest of you folks what is your story that brought you to the world of KNC for your Fall or beyond delivery of the shiny toy? Searing

I'm not worried about it too much, as cgminer works with very low HW errors.

If it ain't broke....why fix it?... hehe I had the exact same experience with my Oct Jupiter and Bertmod BFGminer but my HW errors were around 18% I had wanted to use Nwools multiminer proxy so i could mine some alt coins when they were more profitable to mine than BTC, and multiminer only uses BFGminer. I have since given up on that and just point it at Eligius instead, although with the new firmware i might give it another shot...

Ofcourse it is official. If you are not a nerd and your Jupiters is running fine, don't fix if it's not broken.

Github is a place where developers upload their software. And that address is from the official KnC account at Github.
I hope I explain it easy enough for you to understand. What language do you originaly speak?
