That was like 8 months before I started. On Oct 18th, 2013..sometime during the day, BTC was $150 when I looked.
I miss my Newbie BTC Youth! The thrill of being absolutely 'clueless' on wtf you were doing and still making out like a bandit!
KNC Jupiter Miner arrived 0ct 18th, 2013. I got it sopping wet full of water and parts floating inside. Dried it out. It was $5,131.80 USD.
Tried to turn it on, IT CAME WITH NO FRIGGING SWITCH, I was utterly befuddled.
Emailed them got a prompt reply to use a 'paper clip' and short out the PSU leads to the
computer cable for power to a computer motherboard.
Sat there 'stunned!'
I mean really, I paid the amount above for this beastie and it does not even have a 'frigging' switch!
Closed my eyes, turned my head away for expected flash/explosion and of the certain 'bricking' of the device.
Worked fine, Ran like a top for a couple of years, till difficulty got to high on BTC vs electric. (considering BTC price now should have run it another 1/2 year!)
Best Miner I ever had par none for output and stability. Sometime during that day, I looked up the price of BTC it was $150 USD per BTC!
I think I made 1 BTC a day.
I 'long' for a return to those glory 'newbie' home mining days, but alas,they are gone forever.
