Klee I don't understand your beef. If you still have an order as you claim, and you are unhappy, go ask for your refund.

Why continue tormenting yourself, when you clearly aren't confident?

No orders with anyone thank God (as it turned out to be). Only stock trading!
What's the beef, upset? No worries, you have plenty of time until 10 October Wink

He works for KNC and jumps on anyone that says anything negative.. Dont feel bad, he does it to everyone. Even tries and dig up dirt on people and then post it here.. Just ignore that POS..

It will be necessary to trick the power supply to turn on by jumping the right pins. We are looking at possible solutions for this and we will provide more information as soon as possible.

Just type "ATX Bridging Plug" into ebay, loads of them for about $2 bit safer than the paperclip trick.

Only for your anxiety, I've updated my numbers a bit!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgSa2BKZz0WudHVlQVc0NmNVaXJEUHdLS090dWptSEE&usp=sharing

15th of October - at this increase rate - seems to be the "deadline".

Please explain this graph. What does it mean?

The point is just that the longer that they take to ship, the longer for the ROI. If it ships quick, ROI could be weeks or a month, if it ships just a month later, it could take 3-4 months for ROI, so a short delay equals an exponentially longer ROI, or negative ROI.

Okay, so "according to this doc" if you're not hashing by Oct. 15th, you're fucked. And everyone should stop hashing around May '14. Yeah, it's pretty dumb, I hope it's wrong.

Let's hope their "margins upon margins" and "underpromise, overdeliver" also includes the shipping date.

In the business world "shipping in October" means "we move the boxes closer to the door to our factory October 31st, maybe they'll get out the door in early November". If they intended to ship mid-October they would have just said that.

I agree though, that unless something slows the difficulty, receiving your unit Nov 1 means taking a significant loss (probably at least 20%).

Maybe all this Avalon drama will put a dent in the difficulty, but doesn't seem too likely.

Again with a useless spreadsheet. Stop spreading FUD with that utter bullshit. To get to that 37k TH where your equilibrium is you would need an additional ~350 000 in KNC's 28nm Chips.... Or 144 MILLION avalon Chips. So PLEASE stop making spreadsheets if you have no idea how economics works.

Mota I have noticed a interesting pattern with you where you seem to show up blow open you big Mouth and talk crap every time someone post a question or post about difficulty.. Makes me wonder who you really are and what you are really doing here. Reminds me of some of those shrills over at the BFL forums that would swoop down and try and destroy ANYONE that sad ANYTHING the least bit negative..

Give it a rest dude, your too obvious.. That and that you have no clue what your actually talking about.. Crawl back in your hole.

According to KNC their efficiency is below 1.6 W/GH/s.
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-31

Per the break even thread ...

Quote from: DeathAndTaxes on August 28, 2013, 06:54:54 PM

Lowered estimate for KNC to 1.8 J/GH at the wall. It is unclear what the reported 1.6 J/GH refers to. I have asked KNC for a clarification but they haven't responded yet. The break even difficulty is based on wattage "at the wall" (120V/230V measured/estimated at the plug).

If 1.6 J/GH refers to the ...
... system efficiency at the wall (AC load) then efficiency in table should be 1.6 J/GH.
... system total DC load then efficiency in the table should be 1.8 J/GH.
... ASIC boards (chips + DC PSU) but excludes the fans, controller, and ATX PSU then efficiency in the table should be 1.9 J/GH.
... ASIC chips and excludes the DC to DC supply, fans, controllers, and ATX PSU then efficiency in the table should be 2.0 J/GH.

I feel the second scenario is the most likely so the table reflects that until more information is available.

On edit: KNC supporters you can stop PM me. I will change the table when either KNC confirms the "at the wall" efficiency or we have user provided benchmarks in the field. If you want it updated, ask KNC to provide clarification.

I asked KNC about this and about there power specs, my questions and answers
" Couple quick questions. Will we have to trick the power supply to turn on buy jumping the right pins? Or will there be another solution for this? Also the 1.6 W/GH/s is this the average power consumption including all the fans and the Linux board? Or is this just the consumption for the chip? And is the 1.6 number just another safe maximum number to give out? And might be lower in the end product? or is it fairly accurate? And the miners should be at just that?

There response
"
Hi,

It will be necessary to trick the power supply to turn on by jumping the right pins. We are looking at possible solutions for this and we will provide more information as soon as possible. The 1.6W/GH/s is the maximal power consumption of the entire device, it is possible that it would be slightly lower.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Yes, the "Paperclip trick" need be employed when not using the MB plug, which sends the on/off signal. Example...On Corsair Power Supplies, you jumper the green pin & any black pin on the 24 pin MB connector.

A paperclip isn't professional, trust me Wink

Just use one of these : http://www.amazon.com/Pin-SATA-Power-Supply-Tester-Black/dp/B00AZZR30A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377771843&sr=1-1&keywords=power+supply+tester
It will turn on the power supply and will warn you if the PSU has a problem.

+1 - Excellent Idea

I just hope that between the hash unit

And SO-DIMM

I assume you didn't mean to address that reply to me (I didn't make the spreadsheet).

I believe you're saying that we can't just extrapolate an exponential curve and expect that to be an accurate model indefinitely. I agree with you there. The question is when will that model break down?

The equilibrium is late April, that's almost 8 months away. There is a lot of speed improvements that can happen between now and then (which would reduce the number of chips needed to reach 37k TH).

I could totally believe that it's still unrealistic, but I'd be interested to see some numbers to back that up (like how much faster chips are likely to get between now and then, for the same price)

Bitfury at wall is around 1W/GH Source

KnC Max at wall is 1.6W/GH

Somehow I'm not seeing the 50% Sad

Bitfury is 0.8 J/Gh at wall according to 2 customers who have received their units. Quite exactly 50% of KnC (estimated) 1.6 J/Gh. That can change tho, if KnC does it's under promise, over deliver thing.

Quote from: Phoenix1969 on August 29, 2013, 10:30:44 AM

No No No
Bitfury is NOT still half KNC on Watts if they are getting HALF the expected Hashrate & delivering 2x as many boards to make up for it... So Bitfury's you must DOUBLE what they Spec.'d at. And now that they must deliver DOUBLE expected boards, you can expect delays

Each board turned out to do ~22.2 Gh/s instead of promised 25Gh/s. Happy days for starter kit orderers who got 2x22Gh instead of promised 25Gh. Still 0.8 J/Gh - 100% more efficient than KnC - no matter how many more boards they ship.

Great, go get a Rasberri Pi & order a Bitfury... Use Duct tape, Bubble gum and fishing line while assembling your overpromised, under-delivered, POS monstrosity, and play. I'm staying right here, thank-you.

I'm pretty sure most here are willing to live with gear held together with bubble gum, duct tape or snot -- as long as it makes them money. You, of course, are welcome to wait for the sexy raw aluminum box of fans.
