must have got my tracking number sometime last night as well. It appears they are actually shipping en masse. did anyone notice if the hashrate spiked then dropped recently? <smirk> I believe that the network hash rate is unknown and must be statistically inferred from number of transaction blocks found by the network in a given period of time taking into account the current difficulty. Due to the probabilistic nature of solving a block, there is some inherent variance (which is also called luck) in the network hash rate. This might be why it appears to be changing quickly. I don't think you can pin it down to KNCminer at this time but certainly if you watch the rate over a longer time-frame it might be more telling.

It's too bad RAM waterblocks are so expensive, 10-15 of them would tame a neptune's VRMs. (I'll try making my own out of copper tubing)
@tolip_wen: great idea, I don't know what diameter for tube, but as long as you flatten them on the one side and you could bend the tube in a U-shape to touch all the VRM's might need very high flow, but it doesn't need to be fancy. btw, pretty sure the chip can be safely air-cooled. those tower CPU style coolers with the heatpipes are incredibly efficient.

You're right of course, I was only trying to be facetious.

could also just solder another female pcie connector on the bottom couldn't ya? idk anything bout that thou
Good idea! Just watch out for mechanical strain on added connectors as they may only be held in place by solder. I plan to solder ALL power wires directly to the PCB. Connectors are a potential point of failure. 12 connectors per PCIe power cable on a modular PSU (modular sux for performance and safety on power hungry miners) I have 2 consumer PSU's that have smoked connectors from my Oct. adventures. This is what happens when ANY one of the pins of a connector fails, the neighbors have to take up the slack. The 18 gauge wire on consumer PSUs is not up to the task. YMMV

We may need to start a foundation to support the starving bitcoin hardware manufacturers.

I have it running now (I guess I'm the first...)
It does: about 3.3 Th and 1950W at the wall (the internal ASIC-monitor gives about 1440W...I have no idea where the difference is going to). The chip is running on 475 Mhz (and can be set to 500 {not tried yet}).
There is one new thing on the controller-board: on plug-6 there is a small display-board which gives info about the IP-address and Hash-speed (very nice)... but this means as well that 5 boxes is the maximum.
The one PCE-power plug isn't running hot {the fan is indeed pressing air through the hole}, but the cables are 44 degrees Celsius.
Post some pictures... Lazy? Search Elenelen's post history. She's posted a lot of information and several photos.

Yuuuuup! perhaps it's not the miner which is a bad deal, but how the buyer uses it.

6TH and comes with power supplies. 2 x 2500 watt supplies? Going to have to put it in a data center. No way you can run it in your garage unless you do some major electrical work.

Nope, The SP30 is indeed a better deal, way better. there is a group buy thread for a sp30 at 4500 getting started...i think it is the 2nd batch sept order? on the other hand perhaps BTC ...just buy coin already is the better deal right now...awful lot of hash hitting the blockchain etc Searing Neptune Third Batch 3.3TH/S for $6000.

No way you can run it in your garage unless you do some major electrical work. 2 1250 w power supplies me thinks? on a side note i have a sept sp30 coming (yeah prob should have just bought coin) and a Titan so 2500w for sp30 and 1250 watts for the Titan. Anyway hosting it in my cold upper midwest basement (will likely need a/c in Aug/Sept) anyway have a 100 amp service called elec inspector (have no central a/c and gas water heater etc) and he said it would have no problem on a 100 amp service even running 3,750 watts on miner and 1 a/c unit in my bedroom and maybe a small a/c unit in the basement casement window..just to monitor it..i live aloine also lite use can be 'creative' on clothes drying and/or using the stove/oven if needed so 'supposedly' i should be ok? (the elec company is gonna 'own my ass') also as a side note anyone that is 'inspired/er stupid' enough to host such in their basement the elec company said i could get 'commercial elec rates' in my house (residential neighborhood) ..the fees are more the rates are less I likely will only shave off 3c a kwh or so but what the heck anyway what i think i know so far on the above (it changes daily what i think i know about stuff) 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!:)
