Any news on power supply yet? Specific products?
No, people are speculating, but nothing official from KNC. The consensus is that there will be plenty of PSU's available. There's no shortage there.

Alright, so any news on specific products for Jupiter power? Also, what kind of circuit breaker would we need. I've never really ran anything like this before. The feds are gonna think I'm growin' weed like that guy in Canada, LOL!

Naturally BFL Josh would say that. But Knc is not an American company, therefore less regulation and more/easier innovation.
Umm...if you think there is less regulation in the EU than the States, you are gravely misinformed!
Last I checked Sweden was though, at least it was when I visited KnC personally two weeks ago...
lol. geography is hard. hahahaha

They are producing 28nm ASIC hardware due to be delivered in Sept/Oct.
The originally advertised 250GH/s for 7-8k USD and ended up promising 350GH/s for under 7k. We are currently awaiting final GH/s estimates (they are hinting that it will end up higher than 350GH/s for the Jupiter unit) and their Power consumption looks to be below initial expectations as well.
they're not hinting GH/s estimate, in the last news they actually said "It is with great pleasure that we can finally announce our Jupiter is now a 400 GH/s device ". You have a point about on the power consumption side since they said: "We have previously specified the power consumption of the Jupiter device at a 1000 watts. We have now received indication from our chip manufacturer that this may be lower."

Hi Guys
Sorry for butting in in your discussion but don't buy any power supplies yet.
We will have a large Technical announcement coming next week. Where we will give even more accurate Power figures and GH/s.
It will be a significant announcement which I hope will make all of our customers happy. and no before you ask I wont reveal any details before that newsletter goes out
again please don't buy a 1200W power supply you simply will not need one that powerful or expensive.

Sam are you up to the challenged ?

Thinking back, I think I heard they were using FPGAs, and thought their performance numbers were a little "optimistic", so I wrote them off, and haven't looked into them since.
In the mean time, where do they stand? They're using FPGAs, but somehow have the best prices, and power efficiencies, and will be delivering soon?
I wish more people would stay away from the ASICMiner threads. Good man. That operation and strategy is like digital Chinese SARS attacking Bitcoin.
I've talked to KNC a lot. Sam makes a lot of sense when he contrasts their business model with BFL. He's a nice guy. I believe them. I didn't go all in, but I will if they deliver.

So, if one were to get 1 Saturn & 1 Jupiter, can they use one power supply for both or need two separate?
Depends on final power consumption and what wattage your power supply is...Hopefully he will be ok with a 1200w as they are easy enough to acquire at a reasonable price.
Finger's crossed anyway...

No.They only created the Mars FPGA unit to show that they could rapidly produce a device. They then had (multiple) open house days to show they were legit.
They are producing 28nm ASIC hardware due to be delivered in Sept/Oct.
The originally advertised 250GH/s for 7-8k USD and ended up promising 350GH/s for under 7k. We are currently awaiting final GH/s estimates (they are hinting that it will end up higher than 350GH/s for the Jupiter unit) and their Power consumption looks to be below initial expectations as well.
They by all outward appearances appear to be the best bet in the Asic for Pre-Order market at the moment.

Thanks for the update. I was skeptical of KNC myself and it's good to see there is community support for them.
I'll be watching with great interest in Sept/Oct. It would be amazing if they pull this 28nm product off in that timeframe. Not an easy task to accomplish at all. Wishing them Godspeed with this project.
