I recently ordered a Jupiter (hosted by KnCMiner) as my newbie entry into mining. I am a bit anxious as to when the ASICs will be delivered to them and how long it will be before they plug mine up. The site currently says units will ship in October, BUT I am thinking that it would make much more sense for them to plug up all the hosted boxes first before shipping boxes out the door since they also get transaction fees. Doing so would also help them identify and resolve QC issues. It doesn't make sense to ship boxes out the door first only to have problems discovered after they leave. I can only imagine my anger if I were one who waited for shipping and delivery only to find out there are problems...
Anyone have any insight as to what KnC is actually thinking regarding the above?
[I chose hosting because of the time savings, support, electrical/cooling costs, shipping costs, and the BIG whammy: import duties and customs delays were they to send it - not to mention that I am a newbie and have no business at all putting my hands on it or attempting to manage it myself.]
Also, according to their site, they are testing the arrived boards using FPGA at a fraction of board capacity. Running the boxes full-out with ASICs mounted will likely have different results...just my thinking..
