Hey all, can anyone point me in the right direction for information on rewiring a North American home to hold some Neppy's...my friend has a couple batch 2's and he wants to be ready..

Much obliged.

~thanks

Find out what kind of power panel, the breakers can be model specific.
Then for starters go to Home Depot or equivalent and ask the guy about 220V breakers.
Ask to look at a load center panel, or look in yours at home with cover removed.

If you don't know, best to pay for proper skillset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Burning down a house should be saved for special moments, not mining tinkering IMneverHO.


DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!
I made a TEMPORARY poor mans 240 outlet for emergency usage.

Get 2 appliance replacement cords and the outlet U need, plus a 12/3 extension cord or 2, and a box to hold it all.
Wire the black from 1 cord to one side of outlet, wire other black to other side of outlet.
The white wires are unused, put seperate wire nut on each.
Connect both cord grounds to outlet and box.

If the appliance cord plugs are plugged into same outlet, voltage at poor mans outlet will be 0 volts.
If you plug one of them into an outlet that is on a different 'leg' of your AC the poor mans outlet will measure 238v (or so)

If you do not have tools to measure voltage DO NOT BEGIN!

It's not really for poor men, the parts are expensive no matter what route you go.

YMMV

question: if I have 220V power, 13 Amps max power bar, can I run one lots of Neptune miner without problem? my calculation is 12Amps max. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyone received anything over the last few days??

[NEO2012]

I switched the failover sequence of my merged minings pools to put bitparking's mmpool first instead of my own p2pool, and boom, I am now seeing 3.35 terrahashes on the LCD readout. So somehow p2pool was causing me to lose 2/3 of my hashing power.

I tried removing geistgeld, the fastest block time merged mined coin, such fast blocks that mmpool does not merge them, from my merge but still as soon as I switched back to using the p2pool pool the hash rate shown on the LCD started dropping back down again.

So I guess it must be something about my p2pool, rather than the fact that I merge more coins with it than mmpool does, that is causing such massive losses.

-MarkM-

is its pool related u need to check dificulty sentings  for 3th u need 2048 a least

In their own fucked up kind of way, I believe KNC have just told everyone there are going to be substantial delays shipping the rest of the Neptunes.

We’re continuing with deliveries of Neptunes as fast as we can produce, but the demand for Neptunes has been bigger than the successful yield of 20nm wafers has been able to satisfy.

Always with the bullshit. They know exactly what the "demand" for Neptunes is, as they took the pre-orders 7 months ago! Seeing as so many people refunded, they should have MORE than enough chips to go round.

But it's more likely, now that they have successfully "started" shipping, they will ignore customer orders.

Shipping "starting" in Q2 was all they promised.

And as that happened, they can now focus on filling up their own new datorhall 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 first

That is fine.  You can run it.  But how will you make coffee and toast?

Ya know, one grenade late at night will fix this problem.  Do it at night so nobody gets hurt, but I think this should sufficiently slow their hash rate - and improve yours.

Take your total wattage (2200 for neptune) and divide by voltage to get amps.

~10A @ 220VAC is what U will USE.

You need to plan to have some margin.

15A breakers MINIMUM IMneverHO.

YMMV

Are you batch 1 or 2?

Batch #0 = 1,200 units available to previous customers @ $10,000
Batch #1 = 1,200 units available for anyone @ $13,000
Batch #2 = 1,200 units available for anyone @ $10,000

If you consider to give these numbers to the batches, I'm Batch 2.

That's why it's unclear to me.

[The Avenger]

Dear I deleted my name because I don't want it on an interwebs forum,

As you are a Neptune customer, you are entitled to take up our Plan B offer to “Hash While You Wait” until your miner ships, or to continue waiting for your order and select either a Neptune or Titan miner as your additional 2-for-1 offer miner(s) free of charge.

So the *completely free* hashing they offered to compensate for "any delays" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg7550611#msg7550611) is now conditional on your giving up your free miner!

So they are saying that if it takes 2 weeks "until your miner ships", you only get 2 weeks of free hashing? Woo hoo!

Now we know why they ran out of chips. Once people take the hash while you wait, a new batch of chips will miraculously appear in about a week and you traded away your free rig for a weeks free hashing!

Ah... the choices KNC force on their customers - lube or no lube  

So only another few day until June and then we'll see how KNC start fucking their remaining morons customers. They've had so much time to plan this, you can assume they have some dastardly shit planned to screw their "loyal morons customers"

Order some of this to prepare

I don't think all batch 0 has been shipped out. Batch 1 may not started shipping yet. KnC said batch 1 will be shipped by Q1/Q2. Another lie by KnC!

[aasl]

The latest post by KnC https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-95

I wonder who is the one "shout-out happily"... maybe when KnC drove me crazy, I will laugh out "haha, thank you so much KnC"

In the latest statement, they say "As promised, we’ve started shipping our 20 nanometer Neptune processor before the end of Q2 to pre-order customers"

"any delays in deliveries is offset by our pre-order cloud hashing offer 'Hash While You Wait' "

unlimited lies...
