Also, A/C's have an efficiency of ~30% which means it would take a 4000 watt unit to remove the heat from your 1260 watts worth of gridseed blades. Um AC have an "efficiency" of 300% to 500%+. They are heat pumps. 1W of electricity is sufficient to move 3 to 5W of heat. I feel like such an idiot! Would you believe I am working night shifts right now? I apologize, but a fan is about a thousand times more efficient in MOVING heat than any "Air-con".

KNC sent me a hosted Juniper that I had with them. However 2 out of the 4 dies are dead. They have verified this after running the diagnostics. They now want me to pay for the return of the defective boards and then wait until they investigate the issue.
The miner did not work at all out of the box, was defective to begin with. Should I be required to pay for return shipping ? Is that how it works with manufacturers ?
Refer KNC to their own terms and conditions. https://www.kncminer.com/pages/tandc 5. Returns
5.1 Returns are only accepted upon the prior approval of KnCMiner. In the event of a return, KnCMiner is entitled to make deductions due to any deficiencies. KnCMiner is entitled to request and require the Purchaser to grant KnCMiner opportunity to conduct inspection of the Products prior to accepting a return. Any return cost will be charged to the Purchaser, unless the return has been subject to the prior approval of KnCMiner. If you have run their diagnostic tool and they acknowledge from the results the boards are damaged, their own T&C's dictate THEY are responsible to pay the return costs, not the customer. Remind them of this and ask them to send you a pre-paid UPS label for the return shipping. They can NOT ship you a faulty miner and expect YOU to pay to fix it. It's pretty obvious if your miner was working 100% when hosted and has two broken boards out of the box that they put two used/faulty boards into it. Sounds disgusting, but it's how they roll these days. Even Spurt Kurt on the KNC forum admitted they shipped used goods to the frankenjup customers. TL/DR Don't take any shit from them. Tell them their T&c's say they will cover the return costs (on the basis they accept the results of their diagnostic tool - what else is it for?). Ask for them to issue you a UPS label.

their mining farm generates about $500,000 usd a day. They won't be going bankrupt anytime soon. They're just greedy bastards which is why they delay the refunds.
Sam Cole told Forbes they are making 8,000,000 SEK a day that's $1,203,552.00 USD currently.

BTC price was a lot higher and difficulty was much lower. It's unlikely that they are still making that kind of money now. Remember, they had to clear out 400 piles of junk to relieve themselves of the future obligation to ship out 400 Neptunes. It seems to me like a desperate attempt to balance their books. While at the same time, significantly reducing the hashing power or their datacenter.

The only article I remember was one on a Swedish website that reported knc were mining three million kronor a day, which I calculated at the time was 3,000,000.00 SEK = 458,525.01 USD https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg6057284#msg6057284They are still mining $1million+ each week, so I also find it hard to see them going bankrupt any time soon.

I forgot to mention, but I got my BTC refund for 3 Neptunes on the 20th May, just hours before the price started to rise. KNC couldn't have chosen a better time. Original purchase price for 3 was around 30400USD and I got 66.5BTC back at 457USD exchange rate. With the current exchange rate that is almost $8000 ahead. I am so glad I requested a refund I guess the only way you can "profit" off of a refund in BTC is if you paid less for the bitcoin at the time of purchase, right? Or had it sitting in a wallet mined it for free, then anything over the price they charged would be %100 profit. Shit, not a bad deal. A blessing in disguise. Now, everyone with that profit go BUY some bitcoin! Well, 2 of the Neptunes were paid in cash with USD transfer and the 3rd one was paid in BTC (10.3BTC) mined with Jupiters when the price was near 1000USD. So from my point of view I invested ~$20300 + 10.33BTC AND got back 66.5BTC. I consider that a good investment overall. Sounds like the refunds are going to bankrupt KNC! their mining farm generates about $500,000 usd a day. They won't be going bankrupt anytime soon. They're just greedy bastards which is why they delay the refunds. I thought the mining farm was simply hosting for customer ASICs? They said they would never mine with more than 5% of sales to customers! Wait I'll see if I can find a link to the quote... Here it is! https://www.kncminer.com/pages/faq <-- see question #2

That is terrible. So they have driven the difficulty up using our per-order money to fund the operation and neutered our pre-ordered miners in the process while at the same time suppressing Bitcoin price by dumping them on the market as they are produced. Did Sam not say they had a "Customer first" policy?! Huh! Platinum member of the Bitcoin foundation to boot...

I used that to determine whether it was a sound investment to purchase their miners.

Lol if they mine so much BTC price can easily go down to 400 or more when people realise they are simply putting money in KNC pockets.

BTW, one of the pictures is an absolute horror show with endless rows of Jupiter modules hashing.
As PsychoticBoy said, it's disgusting. It really is. Not more than 5%? This datorhall is probably big enough to be 100%+ of what they shipped to customers. All our earnings are disappearing because we are competing against this (I copied it to imgur so I could embed it): Thanks knc - assholes Here - blast from the past - lest people forget what kind of MFs they are

Everyone here is greatly exaggerating how much KNC is mining. Assuming http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/ is accurate, then KNC only has 5.5 ph/s or less than 7% of the network. That would mean they only mine about 250btc per day and spend about 50btc on electricity. (10MW @ 0.1/kwh) 200btc per day is not really astronomical.

Did you miss the part about "We will not mine with more than 5% of the hash rate we sell"? 7% of the network is many times greater than 5% of their sales. That's a huge broken promise.

The exchange rate on that date was 6.3977 krona/dollar, or $468,918USD/day. The bitcoin exchange rate on that date was nearly identical to what it was today, approximately $575/bitcoin. That would put the number of bitcoins mined on 3/24/14 in the range of 815/day
