Topic: [Groupbuy] [UK] Saturn KNC Miner (0/40 shares) [CLOSED] !!! (Read 6871 times)

Hello, no payouts from May 4.  

From May 4, I received 13 mbtc, from another 0.6 btc groupbuy;
That means, from this 2.6 btc group buy, I should receive 56.333 mbtc by now.

are we also doing any merged-mining?!

Mogum,

I sent you a PM and also wanted to check-in on this

JG

Hi, Mogumodz.

Where do we stand on this?  Payments have been quite infrequent, and I've had to prompt repeatedly for the last couple. I haven't received anything in almost two months.

As per your original post:

I remember we discussed in PMs some options for setting up automatic payouts. Is that still happening?

I have to say, I'm getting more than a little nervous here at both the lack of payouts and the lack of communication.

Thanks.

Hi Mogumodz


I've had a few emails from other GB operators who are discussing selling the hardware off and splitting the dividend. I was wondering where you stood on this?

Don't have a feeling either way really yet, just sounding others out as they have sounded me.

Cheers

ditto! excited to get this hashing

Thanks for the update!

Order has been shipped today.



Tracking it as she goes.

This order - in progress.

I'm +郑小芎

6 people in Google + circle.

Anyone with a gmail Id can request mogumodz to include yourself, in his Google+ mining circle.

There, we're already 4 people, including mogumodz.

KNC have been shipping for a few days now which is great. On the KNC thread an order in the 23xx range has been put into process, so they seem to be shipping rather fast.
We are order 300x for perspective. I'm hoping for an update this week with regards to a shipping date.

Thanks

Any shipping updates?

Cheers

Jg

OP has gone quiet, and not responded to messages. Waiting for an update...

should we be asking for a refund?

Not long now, hopefully...
What were the hosting details again? Sounds like these chips are going to need to be kept cool.

no it hasnt been updated but the spreadsheet should contain the correct and most up to date info.

I'm pretty sure the first post isn't updated. I bought one extra share late in the process to help get the group buy finished, but the OP still shows me at two shares instead of three.

Mogumodz, can you confirm that I am included as part of this GB? My payment has been sent with the tx id etc and I am included in group PMs, but my name and address is not on the opening post list of confirmed shareholders.

Thanks.  

1 BTC = 97 USD..

$100 is just a blink away...

Interesting. Let's upgrade, if there are no delays.

Thank you so much, @Mogumodz!  Seeing that purchase confirmation is exciting 

here is some very interesting news from the KnC website, https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-23


My first question is, if we upgrade at a later date from a Saturn to a Jupiter, will we still get the same priority in the shipping queue?
If the answer to my first question is yes... then let's issue shares, collect the BTC, and upgrade our order!  This move could have big potential to get even more value out of our investment.

Thoughts?

Thanks pgbit, it's been my pleasure, I've sent everyone a PM. if you haven't got it simply ask me and I will send it again.

Thank you Mogumodz for staying up till early hours to get this GB completed!

PS: The order is sent in as per Mogumodz's request via PM with me. The payment confirmations will be uploaded shortly.

Thanks,
John

@mogumodz, If this miner shipment is in October, then is it possible to delay payments to KNC miner for a month or so.

Problems with mtgox USD payments are now resolved, so exchange rate is expected to go up quickly.

If it shoots up twice the rate now (around $200), then you can consider buying another miner and distributing hashrates to shareholders.

My question is, how long you can delay the payments to KNC? what's your strategy?

I think the problem is my PMs arent going through as I am a "newbie". Still in and all ok it seems. Ty.

Any news on whether this is now closed or in limbo or?

Basically, if I jumped the gun and sent my BTC too early, could I have it returned to the address from which it was sent please?

Just to be clear, btcusr, I'll pitch in more to fill up the escrow account if reservations flake and if OP opens partial shares, which he might not want.  I'm not offering to send you BTC directly

Thanks.. For 0.5 BTC, you'll get 5/13 of profit, of one share.

Anyone wants to join us for 0.2 BTC for the rest of 2/13 part of 1 share.

I'm also open for other options like escrow,  etc.

Otherwise, You can directly send your BTC to johnk, we'll show 2 to 3 trxns for 1.3 BTC buy to 'mogumodz'.

But, let's wait for all 3 to confirm.

@mogumodz, is that OK with you?
3 people paying 1.3 BTC as ( 0.6 + 0.5 + 0.2 ) and they will get fractional profits as 6/13, 5/13 and 2/13 respectively.

Otherwise, I can also distribute profits as I receive it.

If op is willing to pay out in fractional shares, 18/13 or 19/13 for example,  i'll pledge up to 0.5 more just to get the order placed asap.

Of course the ideal scenario is if everyone with reservation pay up and order placed in the next 12 hours 

If people who reserved didn't pay, then I want to buy one more share.

I've already bought two shares from this group buy.

As I have only 0.6 BTC, I can't buy one more share until someone willing to buy it together with me.

Antone wants to buy 7/13 th of one share for 0.7 BTC?

I'm in Singapore, and I'll share all my personal details with the buyer. I'll regularly pay 7/13 th of profit as I receive it.

Anyone wants to join me?

Well done group! Now let's hope KnC doesn't pull a BFL and actually delivers on time.

Cheers,

Yeah,I would like to reserve one ,I'll do the paying ASAP

5 shares left at the moment. So I can reserve one share if you give me confirmation tonight before I head to bed.

sold out???
I would like to buy one share

There's 2 shares available for you if you wish to reserve them, at the end of the 24 months the miner will become property of the OP (Mogumodz).

so it is 2.6btc for the remaining 2 shares, i am interested, can you clarify what happen at the end of 24 month

7 Shares left as 5 have just been reserved!

Friendly warning to anyone about to send funds as they are held up in an escrow account I don't control, so any accidental purchases before asking if any left will have to be requested back via JohnK with strong proof of address ownership I'd imagine.

one for me.

Congrats, I confirm receipt of payment for one share (1.30BTC)from address 1Ecuqu8ntTFxWF9wXq6Mg6u2e2fX1SfMaQ.
Also noted all future payments for share dividends will go to address 1Ecuqu8ntTFxWF9wXq6Mg6u2e2fX1SfMaQ.


Thanks, Noted In the spreadsheet as 1 share reserved.


No problems asking at all, Once you have paid, send the TXid and you can prove ownership of the sending address with a signed message via the qt client (you can only sign addresses in your QT client you control).

So when you have your sending address you can input it into the sign message window.
How to sign - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1922342

Once you prove ownership you may request a change etc.

Hehe, great stuff. I know how you feel.

Well guys and girls, we are nearly halfway there. And we might have a buyer for 20 shares which would be fantastic!

@Mogumodz,  Hi.  I have 1 share reserved already.
May I please increase this to 2 shares.

I have the BTC in my wallet now and am ready to pay.  I just wanted to get your Ok on the extra share before taking a liberty and paying for 2 having only reserved 1.

Could I also ask for a little noob help regarding the sending coin address becoming the receiving address for share payments please?
Using bitcoin-qt client, I can't determine the sending address can I before sending?  Once I have send it, I guess I can lookup the txid in the blockchain.info to see my sending from address.  But how do I subsequently turn that into a receive address with bitcoin-qt?  Or is it all automatic and just works? Sorry to have to ask, thanks!

i will also take 1 share, payment in 8hrs time to escrow address.

@Mogumodz, I was preparing my receiving address;
1Ecuqu8ntTFxWF9wXq6Mg6u2e2fX1SfMaQ

I will be paying 1.3 BTC, from this address.

I will be using bitcoin android app hereafter.
I was using blockchain mywallet.

Please consider the address (1Ecuqu8ntTFxWF9wXq6Mg6u2e2fX1SfMaQ),
from which you receive 1.3 BTC is the address
to which you will be sending my mining shares.

1.3 BTC transfer in less than an hour..

Cheers Arthur.

I'd like to reserve one share.
Payment within 24 hrs, of this post.
This will be my first BTC spend.

Thanks, I'll be around then.

# to check order status: 7TW-XHNY-003003

My reply from KNC say an OCT delivery time, they also mention that there aren't batch deliveries as they will be continuous rolled out.

Order number is #3003, but I suspect it is much lower than that because of a few things.

We 7 days from when I placed the order to pay to pre-order or simply place another one.

I would like to reserve one share if possible at 1.3 BTC to be sent to the escrow address tomorrow 3 July at approx. 16:00 GMT

Hi
Definitely interested in a UK GroupBuy 

Do you have an order number / batch number?
What is the expected delivery date please?

Cheers

Thanks John

I will reserve the share In the spreadsheet.

I am in the UK and would like to reserve 1 share @ 1.3 BTC please.

I'm buying some BTC currently so will hold off confirming until I can pay.  This should be in the next 24-48 hours.
Thank you.

Still some left. A few of my friends have reserved some and are getting back to me.

Edit: ID verified.

All three of your questions are correct, If KNC do not deliver the miner we shall request a full refund and give it back to the shareholders minus the 2% johnk charges for escrow regardless of the group buy status.
You get 0.825 a week from the current difficulty of 21335329 with a 5GH from
http://dustcoin.com/mining but as dif rises it shall decrease over time , You don't need to include power in your calculations on your shares as I am paying for electricity and ISP costs myself as I do currently with my mining operation.

Hi, I'm interested.

1. I pay 1.3 BTC per share
2. Each shares pays back BTC mined @ 5 G#
3. If miners not delivered, 2% fee for escrow and handling (26 mBTC)

Right?

Is it really, 0.7 BTC a week at the current diff. for 52 weeks ?!

Sorry, I'm beginner. This will be my first BTC purchase. Please help me.

UK Group Buy SHARES REMAINING 0/40 @ 1.30 BTC each For Saturn 200 GH/s Purchase

0 SHARES LEFT [CLOSED] Well done everyone!

I'm contacting reserved shareholders wit ha few hours left reserved before I offer them out to the public.
 
Escrow agreed with JohnK for Group buy KNC Saturn 200GH Miner, Expected Delivery is October according to KNC.
 
All shares are 1.30 BTC each to allow for market changes and escrow fees. This group buy needs 0 remaining shares at 1.30 BTC each to be sold to purchase a preorder for a Saturn 200GH/s from KNCMiner. If these 35 shares at 1.30 BTC each are purchased, every share will payout 1/40th of the expected hashrate in BTC of the 200GH/s miner. 200 divided by 40 equals a theoretical hashrate of 5 GH/s per share!
 
This group buy is intended to let my friends and forum members take part in the opportunity to purchase cheap hash-rate through the recently launched KNC Miner (https://www.kncminer.com) company located in Stockholm, Sweden. The unit that the shares relate to is the KNC Saturn now advertised for 200 GH/s (https://www.kncminer.com/products/saturn).  

Want to know a bit more about the company before investing? Check out BitcoinOrama Report on the KnCminer/OrSoC Open-day Mon 10/06/13 (Stockholm)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoinorama-report-on-the-kncminerorsoc-open-day-mon-100613-stockholm-232852

Read up on KNCMiner and what it’s about.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/kncminer-openday-wednesday-5th-monday-10th-june-214285
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/swedish-asic-miner-company-kncminercom-170332
 
I have structured the purchase so that members wanting to get access to the exceptionally cheap hash rate/GH that the Saturn offers can secure hash rate from one of the machines without spending ~BTC50 for a purchase.
 
OFFERING DETAILS:
 - 35 shares of 1.30 BTC each are available.
- Each share entitles the owner to 1/40th of the BTC proceeds from a KNC Miner Saturn mining 24/7 for 24 months*
- Payments will be made to the address of the shareholders weekly.
- 5 shares will be owned by OP as payment for hosting/power/maintenance of the miner.
- After 24 months the miner will be considered 'spent' and become the property of OP.
- IP Webcam will be watching the miner 24/7 if you wish to watch a live feed.
(*Miner breaking after 12 month warranty, random acts of nature like house burns down etc, internet downtime, not covered in 24/7 for 24 months)

IN CASE OF NON DELIVERY: I take no responsibility for the possibility that KNC Miner does not deliver the miner. I have done what I consider a thorough due diligence but as we all know, you can never 100% guarantee anything when it comes to pre-orders.

IN CASE OF HARDWARE FAILURE:
In case of hardware failure we will have KNC repair or replace the machine. Any costs involved will be deducted from payment as costs.

REFUNDS:
Refunds will be available until the order had been placed minus the escrow handling fee. After this point a refund will only be available if KNC does not deliver and we shall then attempt to seek funds returned from KNC to disperse them among the shareholders minus the escrow handling fee. We cannot guarantee this however.

TO PURCHASE SHARES:
 
- Send 1.30 BTC per share to escrow address: 1PCdU2nBrtPMTUbDbL49ChQ6vELnmQ5kwG
- PM me/and post the transaction ID (txid) in this thread.

ONLY use sending addresses you fully control. I will use the sending address for BTC payouts for your share ownership and if you request change of payout address I will require that you can sign your share purchase address to make this happen OR I WILL NOT CHANGE THE RECEIVING ADDRESS. This is for your own protection.
