Somebody PM'ed me asking for pics of how I soldered a second connector. Well, I don't have any but here is how it looks from the outside. Basically I bought PCI-e splitters from eBay and sacrificed them for the female receptacles. I used 14 AWG black and yellow wires and soldered those to the bottom of board under the location of the original connector.

Soros,   Thanks for the pictures.  I went ahead and ordered 16 gauge custom connectors from Mundi @
http://www.icemodz.com  (yes he accepts crypto)
Mundi was really helpful and quick to get my order out and look forward to receiving it.   Maybe if someone is interested I can keep you posted how it goes as soon as the Nepper arrives.    Hopefully today or tomorrow.  (kneeling down praying)       So let me know if anyone interested, and I may post some pics of Mundi's work also.   

ordered form http://www.icemodz.com:
quantity:  6
6 pin connectors 
16 guage

Held my faith in KnC for a long time when others doubted them; turns out the others were right! I have requested refund for upwards of a dozen solid reasons including "fire hazard" and "Q1/Q2 means end of March"... even once they twist it around they cant claim it means Q3.

If refund is not honored promptly then it's time to get legal. If it goes that far then I will be claiming against them for cost of PSU and preparation time also.

Most of the suggestions for litigation against KnC are invalid because Neptune was not sold as a consumer product; they will also dodge safety concerns because they are only selling 12v hardware (way short of 50v legislation). However, they can't argue that dispatch in Q3 is meeting their obligations; they will try to argue that HWYW constitutes meeting their (already twisted) delivery timescale but if this means giving up 2nd machine then they fall wildly short on "under promise and over deliver" which was stated by KnC *everywhere*.

Who's with me?

Yes Jamal, I wouldn't touch that accept button with yours. 2nd Neptune was added to my order free of charge; when it was announced there was nothing about accepting additional terms for it or that it was for late delivery. It is a totally separate issue and it was clearly stated that it was due to the rapid increase in difficulty.

I honestly wish you the best of luck..but it may take awhile to get any $$$....BFL has been playing this game since dec 2012 deadlines missed..and have suffered NO consequences..and still is selling 10gh on site/tigerdirect/walmart  jally for 295 usd where you can now get an antminer S3 for .75 btc (about? 420 bucks?) 505gh

so BFL goes after Newbies with no refunds..KNC now seems on the same path

again good luck too me 1 yr and 20 days to get BFL refund of 8.5k but that was due mostly to luck and likely a very small window of time (which may already be past)

you may be better off just trying to find out your status of your unit and if soon shipping sell the beastie on ebay to get ROI back

me I know zip ..i xfered my neptune CA to a Titan 2 weeks before KNC seemed to decide to go to the 'dark side' (my luck was way bad on that choice likely)

I may be in your boat in a month or two

Nice Picture of the Neptune Miners, a Lot of Empty Boxes a bit like their Promises. ;-)

hope you get it sorted, but i'm pretty sure their business-customer-only argument would not stand up in court.
This is KfC own t's and c's; therefore It would be up to KfC to vet every customer and prove that they have done ample due diligence to assure they haven't sold to any residential customer. Methinks they would fall flat on their face in this matter.

Why?
By agreeing to the T&C you have stated to them that you are a business customer. Why should they have to investigate whether you were lying?

by placing such restrictions and then offering a free web portal for sales. Any lawyer would find ease in tearing apart KfC arguments.
It is quite simple to assure business-to-business trade, by requiring company number or VAT registration number. None of this was carried out and it was the case that KfC simply put up a web shop for all and sundry to make purchase of their equipment.

Because they made the invoices and they received the money from private persons, not from a business.

KNC are surely guilty of false statement of fact, i.e. misrepresentation?

They claim they are offering *completely free* hashing to compensate for any delays (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg7550611#msg7550611). It's a no-strings-attached statement and no doubt led many customers not to ask for a refund.

Then this *completely free* hashing to compensate for any delays is made conditional on giving up bonus rig (i.e. strings-now-attached).

If they don't offer the *completely free*, no-strings-attached hashing they promised in the February newsletter, then their original statement was misrepresentation?

Because giving up a machine supposedly worth $10,000 is in no way *completely free*.

They also said this in the same newsletter:

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.

If you don't accept the "HWYW but lose bonuis miner" con, then you WILL be suffering loss of mining time if Neptunes are delayed (which is today folks - Q3).

And I think them stating yesterday they ran out of wafer/chips is acknowledging a major delay in the Neptune delivery timeline.

So KNC is either guilty of fraud or misrepresentation - you or your lawyer decide.
