if knc will be ok with their customer
the first people
must hashing for free
from today
their hashing data center
is working

why must wait untill june
knc
these is not fair

Dude just ask for a refund.

[yelloyello]

I asked to convert to 3 TH Jupiter.

They lost the competition.
Firms like Bitmaintech, Dragonminer or Spondoolies are running faster.

[elasticband]

going by the statment i guess if and when they do deliver the neptune it will be well over spec, still i requested a refund as i don't care for 5-6TH in august.

with a 90 day warranty...... i wonder why 

[The Avenger]

And frankenjupiter only comes with a "90 day warranty". Proof of KNC's over engineering?

KNC: "We stand behind our frankenjupiter - about 5 metres, in case the fucker goes up in smoke"

 

[Kenshin]

I am going to wait for the Neptune. Knowing their past history. I should get a miner faster than 3 TH/s in June.

Neptune Update - 2014 April 08

Dear all,

In this newsletter we have some updates for you all about our product range. The newsletter will contain the following sections:
 
·                   20nm statement

·                   Neptune progress update

·                   Hash while you wait

·                   Convert your Neptune order

 
20nm statement.

This is an important statement which we would like to make clear. As always there is a lot of information available on the internet and a lot of speculation about the technology we are using some of it true and some of it completely wrong. What we can say is that the technology we have chosen is cutting edge and this means a lot of companies are careful about adopting such technologies.
We at KnCMiner pride ourselves in bringing the latest technologies to our customers. We over engineer our chips and don’t promise anywhere near the actual 100% performance they could possibly achieve. This enables us to use the latest and greatest chips safely. So when you read about much longer timelines for this technology it’s important to note they are not our timelines. We have a very different approach. We over engineer our chips and only use world class partners in our chip designs. These important factors allow us to have the technology in our customer’s hands faster than other companies.
 
Neptune progress update.

Our Neptune product is currently in fabrication stage at the TSMC Foundry in Asia. We are actively pushing to get the chips as fast as possible to our assembly factories in Sweden. We have of course taken all steps to make sure that the process is done as fast as possible. We know as well as everyone in this business that time is a critical part of the process.  Which we think is why we have come up with a few alternatives to anyone who doesn't want to wait for their product.
 
Hash while you wait.

First it’s important to note that we don’t expect to be late at all everything is on track. It’s just always good to have a backup plan. Second our mega-data center in the north of Sweden is nearing completion so we can give out some more details. All customers of Neptune’s will be able to use completely free of charge our data center to hash for them at 3TH either on our pool or a pool of their choice while they wait for their product to be shipped. The first customers (batch 1) are expected to be hashing in our data center in early June and the last customer will hash in our data center around the last week of June. All the customers will be able to hash in that data center for as long as we are late in shipping your Neptune product, this service will be provided on a best effort basis. We have a 24/7 operations teams in place with multiple redundant internet and power connections and we will aim to have as close to 0 down time as possible.
 
Convert your Neptune order to a 3TH Jupiter.
 
For those customers who no longer want to wait for their Neptune we have another new option for you. We are releasing for shipment a new 3TH product. We have a total of 400 of these setups available which are based on our existing and proven 28nm chips. Each setup contains

 - 18 of our own 28nm 8 DC/DC module ASIC boards with coolers,
 - 3 controller cards,
 - all cables needed,
 - Power supplies not included.

The boards are in aluminum boxes, each box contains 3 chips side by side with front and rear cooling vents. Each controller card runs two boxes. This option will be offered free of charge for anyone wanting to convert their Neptune to a 3TH Jupiter. If more than 400 people want to have the conversion we will ship in order of payment for the original Neptune order. This offer will be open for 7 days for people to contact us. After 7 days from today the exchange will be frozen and people will be contacted who made it onto the queue. The products will then be shipped from stock as soon as possible. This will be offered at no cost to the customers wanting to take 3TH of Jupiter’s instead of waiting for their Neptune’s. There is a 90 day warranty on this product. Anyone wanting to take this option should contact customer service via email with their order number who will then take care of the conversion.
 
Thanks
KnCMiner Team

THIS IS AWESOME!!!




...for them.

And frankenjupiter only comes with a "90 day warranty". Proof of KNC's over engineering?

KNC: "We stand behind our frankenjupiter - about 5 metres, in case the fucker goes up in smoke"

 

LOL - you crack me up.
here's the dilemma, get refund and buy two SP10's from spoodlythingymajigs (with change) or top up the $ and get 5TH of the same at the beginning of may?
ho-hum, decisions decisions.

[jelin1984]

I am sure now that they are do with our moneys

Make their data center
Also that the reason of so many batches of neptures

Also at newsletter they did  not tell anything about the batch 0 of Neptune
Why so unprofessional

[yelloyello]

I am going to wait for the Neptune. Knowing their past history. I should get a miner faster than 3 TH/s in June.

I have no longer trust in KNC.
They have a huge datacenter with running machines as we speak. Q2 is also started.
When they want to be fair, they give us NOW the cloudhash, not in June (+/- 8-9 weeks later from now)

I was also thinking about the Scryptminer, but when they deliver that slow, maybe the Scryptminer should be delivered in 12/2014 or 1/2015.

I converted to Jupiter to get rid of the situation, and in this month (april) I invest in Bitmaintech or Spondoolies.

so far, you are the 2nd one here to convert. almost feels like we are converting religion around here though

Sure, I believed in KNC. The best mining company in the world. For my investment, I wanted the best available.
Afterwards, KNC is playing with big money, and we are small customers.

i did too, but i am taking what i can get now, and not later, that is how I see it.

[Gate559]

At 3,33$ they are overpriced. But no problem, they will mine themselves.  

[sbfree]

@sbfree:

I have Ants running as we speak. Fast delivering after ordering, mining without troubles.

gotta love those ants, mine were riding on a jupi but got rid of it and turned that into 6 more ants instead. And now would like to see these ants riding on a jupi on steroids with a spoondoolie or two to keep it exciting.

[joeventura]

Anyone in Europe could tell me how many days from "refunded" (in account page) to dollars in bank account ?

Thanks

8 days, 4 hours, 22 minutes.

Does that help?

[jelin1984]

Refund at dollars or btc?

[joeventura]

399 to go

"If more than 400 people want to have the conversion we will ship in order of payment for the original Neptune order. This offer will be open for 7 days for people to contact us.

tl;dr

We ran out of shelf space for Jupiters in the helicopter bunker and made 7200 more boards than we need so you schmucks can have them, we will put your Neptunes in instead.

You want an upgrade for your existing Jupiters....... um NO

[sbfree]

Confirmed, THERE ARE ONLY 400 CONVERSION UNITS, well were.

[joeventura]

They made everyone wait 5 months and then made a frankenstein 3TH Jupiter. I love it!  

They didnt make shit, you did not read it,
They are sending you the parts, not a completed unit.

You get 18 boards, 18 coolers, 3 controllers, and a box of cables.

You assemble it yourself!!
