With the price drop (therefore increasing amount of BTC to purchase ANY miner) it is impossible almost impossible to find any calculator that shows buying ANY mining gear (not singling out ST here) will be profitable (i.e., you will earn more BTC than you paid).

That is really a shame as I SO wanted to get some of their miners but cannot rationalize the expense 

Why not just buy btc? lol?

Shh - don't tell everyone the secret...

Because buying btc is so boring, nothing to fiddle around with!

 i just like to HODL

such baghold meme...  much explain

 i'm running KnC hardware

i was talking about the mining companies not their customers..  they will sell BTC into the dirt

Some things you can control and some you can't. There is/was absolutely no way to stop hardware making companies to set up their own farm (if you know one do tell) so i don't worry about that. I had a small shock last summer, but i adapted and i do my ROI calculations usually with higher difficulty instead of just the next one.

Soooo true.

Known "secret" in the industry:
KNC won't ship Neptune in Q2. They'll get samples in July / August.
They've taped-out in the beginning March, 20nm cycle time takes 4-5 months.
Like other ASIC provider we won't disclose here, they've chosen the interim, problematic 20nm process.

20nm will be replaced by 16nm FinFET next year, for a good reason.



Ask for transparency. It's your money.

and every time i say it I get shot down in flames... but hey this is YOUR thread, you can say what you like.

I have purchased some.  Not nearly as interesting as mining, though.

the antminer S1 is perhaps the only system that is well-priced at the moment in BTC. everything else is based in $ which makes them unattractive at btc prices under $500.

you have to be able to thing beyond today.......

1) you buy BTC you have BTC

2) you buy a miner in about 5-6 weeks you have the same BTC and the ability to make more BTC if the price goes up or the difficulity goes down. Thats why these farms are rigging powerful mining units. Equiptment will be paid for and it will cost hardly anything to let it sit. However when the BTC price shoots up they can crank out milions of $$. Run your calculator at 2000 or 5000 BTC and see what you get.

Just last year we saw BTC go from 100 to 1250................ in todays world that would be like going from 500 to 5000 in a month!!!!!

Most of these miners will not ROI in "5-6 weeks" if it doesn't produce more BTC than you could simply buy on the market for the same fiat cost then when BTC price shoots up you will end up making less $$ and have to put in work to do it.

Are you shipping every day? if not have you shipped the second batch yet? The early April batch?

Just in case there is any doubt that these are bespoke chips (click through for HD pr0n):

Is the noise problem solved ?? I´m very worried about that   If i put them inside a Rack server would the noise be reduced ?? I may have to buy some rack server for them

Someone compared it to a Boing 747 lifting up inside our garage, that´s one crazy thing to have near us

March batch - completed, all orders were shipped.
April batch - production starts on the 6th, immediately after the ASICs arrives.
Current production capacity is 30 miners a day. We build, test and ship according to queue.

Love the transparency.  Time will tell if this holds correct...
