I think both are the same (KnC et Cointerra)

HashFast is the same or worst.

We have been influenced by the bitcoin mining exciting and cheap marketing bull****

We should learn of all this and don't believe any crap info/post they do because at the end...

Someone is mining and adding every day 400 TH per day and for sure is not in the Cointerra (or others) customer list.

All the best

Is your advice to stop mining?, or to move to altcoins?, or to buy/sell btc to speculate with price?
I wonder because you are posting in a bitcoin forum, however your post looks like bitcoin asic mining is not among your hobbies anymore. Any advice to a more profitable venture is always welcome.

From my side, I am glad that Cointerra didnt kick me out of the mining biz, and that now it seems I will keep getting a bit of the bitcoin cake for a bit longer.
I anyway keep my eyes open for new opportunities, because the bitcoin hype wont last forever.

I have been following Cointerra because their TerraMiner IV promised 2THs with a consumption of 1200 Watts total (0.6 Watts/GHs).
Even though Cointerra uses 28nm ASICs (the same than KNC Jupiters are using) they promised a huge improvement over the Jupiter, which consumes double the electricity per GHs (1.2 Watts/GHs).
"Early estimates of power efficiency indicate 0.6 Watts/GHs"

Now that the first TerraMiner IV is out (they dont deliver volume yet), they have updated their specs to 1.2 Watts/GHs, and only 1.63 TH instead of the promised 2TH.
"The production units that we have assembled and tested so far are running at between 1.63TH/s and 1.72TH/s with power draw at the wall between 1900W and 2100W"

That means that their 28nm ASICs are exactly as power hungry as the Jupiters. Not double as efficient as they falsely promised to gain market share.
Their TerraMiner exactly equals 3 October delivery Jupiters, in hashing power (1.65THs), in electricity (1.2W/GHs) and even in price (US$ 15 700 was the price for the first batch TerraMinerIV as said in the same article).

If you are also mining with KNC hardware (feel free to bookmark that KNCMiner website), the Cointerra news means for us:
1) the Neptunes will blow out the competition, and
2) Jupiters wont become obsolete for many many months. Jupiters will become obsolete the very same day the brand new TerraMiner IV (the one that will start volume delivery during this 2014) does, because both consume the exactly same electricity per GHs).
