Building the most f***ing uber PHcenter in the world is Plan B? What the heck would Plan A be rofl???

"To make sure that everyone who has paid for their Neptune we are building a data centre like no other. It is located in the north of Sweden not far from Facebook and other Mega Data Centres and it’s totally powered by renewable energy."

While it doesn't make much sense in English (looks like an unfinished initial thought), I think it refers to those customers that have more than 1 Neptune ordered and might face home power problems. I'm not very sure of it though.

Also think that the "free hashing" will be at the initial 3TH starting on 1st of July if Neptunes won't get delivered by than.

New to this forum, just received the below as a Newsletter from KNC.

Dear All
 
It’s been a while since our last communication and this update is overdue and we do apologise for that. In this newsletter we want to update you on 3 important things.Neptune Development Progress, Jupiter sales and our new project - Plan B.
 
Neptune Development Progress
Over the last few months things have most certainly not stopped here at KnC, and we have made massive progress on our 20nm chip and it will be one of the first 20nm chips to come out to market with the strong support of our partners, TSMC, AST and Alchip. The backend engineering teams have been working 7 days a week around the clock to bring this chip to market as fast as possible. We have of course learnt a lot from our previous 28nm design and with that knowledge we will squeeze even more out of our 20nm chip.
 
The news we can tell you today is that we have a further reduction in power consumption of around 11% from our initial calculations, which means we can squeeze in even more cores. The core count per package is already over 1000 and with every reduction in power usage we will add in more cores to maximize the performance. This is a great bit of news.
Jupiter sales
 
We are no longer going to offer Jupiter for sale. We had intended to offer Jupiter following the end of our Network Protection phase, however things move fast in the Bitcoin world and we have decided to end all future sales of Jupiter. We know this may disappoint some people waiting for buy more Jupiters, however, we have some exciting news that we would like to share today and its called ‘Plan B’.
 
Plan B
As you are all aware we broke many world records in releasing the 28nm chip in such a short amount of time. We are a very ambitious company but even for us, to go “all in” and not be able to deliver on our performance targets, like our competition, would be completely unacceptable to us as a company and everything we stand for. So today we are introducing, Plan B.
 
To make sure that everyone who has paid for their Neptune we are building a data centre like no other. It is located in the north of Sweden not far from Facebook and other Mega Data Centres and it’s totally powered by renewable energy.
 
Over the next few months we are bringing online enough hashing power to make sure that any delay in the Neptune timeline will be compensated with a completely free hosted hashing packages to all fully paid customers.
 
In the addition to this commitment, as part of Plan B, for all Neptune customers, we will be offering a free conversion to a hosted hashing package where we will simply fill your wallets directly and you won’t have to worry about anything else. All the other costs taken care of by us. We are able to do this by using our 28nm chips which is why all products that we have coming out of our factory in the next few months will go into building and supplying the Plan B facility.
 
If, during the course of development of Neptune, there is any threat to the timelines for delivery, those delays will not result in the loss of any mining time for our Neptune customers. We will release more details of this as we get closer to the delivery date, but for now we have one of the world’s largest data centres to build.

Thanks
KnCMiner Team

Building the most f***ing uber PHcenter in the world is Plan B? What the heck would Plan A be rofl???

Plan A: deliver on time

Because a plan B is of interest, only, if plan A fails.

Plan B ensures that Plan A will never be more than one day before Plan B kicks in



people who bought neptunes didnt really want neptunes, they just wanted the next miner that KNC would offer to the public..  they truly gave them the master fuck by locking them into future financial chains while keeping all the lucrative 28nm paydirt for their own farming

no my friend I am not KNC Shill, I could forward the email I received from KNC Miner, I am a Neptune Customer but new to this forum, been just reading and just became a member.

Translation - You aren't going hear shit from us for a while.

Welcome to the thread,
next time read back a few pages before posting, so you don't look so.................new

[joeventura]

So who wants to buy a KNC controller card for a mercury/neptune/saturn?

Don't think I will have a use for it now.

[The Avenger]

Speaking of shills, Bitcoinorama was on the forum an hour ago. When did this announcement come out? Oh yeah, over an hour ago.

Nice of the knc Director of Communications to answer all your questions for you. I mean, it's hardly his job is it?

Will his account now go dormant, like the kncminer one did in September?

ya, i bought a soldering/rework station for adding headers onto my Nov Jupiters that will now prolly just collect dust........

They are clarifying stuff over on the forum now.

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/resellers-affilicates/general-questions/29377-plan-b

"Hi guys,

Plan B is literally just the back-up plan to plan A, so right now we are on track with the current plans. We will have some more information regarding plan B if/when this pathway is due to be executed.

If plan B does occur, you will be able to convert over to a hosted hashing package, but again, the fine details of this have not yet been determined at this early stage.

We will have some further updates for you soon.

I could buy it off you since I would like to balance out my boards for better OC...  let me know

I think Plan B means:
Blease (yeah, I'm working that spelling  ) don't all ask for neptune refunds, or we'll have to build the data centre with our own money and not yours   Blease don't make us invest or spend any of our own money - blease!

[DPoS]

Plan B is literally just the back-up plan to plan A, so right now we are on track with the current plans. We will have some more information regarding plan B if/when this pathway is due to be executed.

Plan A = last day of Q2...   even if they have them earlier they have now shown they rather just mine themselves (or they would sell jupiters now)

[elasticband]

"Over the next few months we are bringing online enough hashing power to make sure that any delay in the Neptune timeline will be compensated with a completely free hosted hashing packages to all fully paid customers."

Can't people read the word DELAYS??

This means if they deliver in Q3/Q4/2015, you will get compensated with hashing power from their datacentre and they won't charge you for the hosting/electricity.

It seems they know for certain Neptune will be late (Q2), if they are promising this now.

I would say this would be true for the last batch of neptunes that were listed as delivery in Q2.
Due to the batches, one would generally expect B1 customers hashing power would go online before this.

[de_ixie]

Still think they have the ambition, skills and finance to satisfy every batch with their approach (even the last one which I consider a quite bad investment...) - I am not interested how they do this - but feel confident about their ability to do so

[atadro]

could someone with better reading comprehension please tell me what the are doing with respect to network protection for pre-Neptune customers?  i only see 'perks' for Neptune customers in this, but i only have one coffee in my system so far.

they took all their 28nm production towards neptune and cloudhashing and drank jupiter owners milkshake

ok, so unfortunately i guess there was no good news (for customers) in there that i missed.  well, with the exception of those that ordered Neptunes without the ability to self-host.
