1st batch Titan pre-orders now selling for ~5200 USD on Ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KNC-Titan-300MH-scrypt-asic-miner-rig-pre-order-not-Alpha-Zeus-no-reserve-/301251631029

KNC can't be selling many of these

I simply guess that Scrypt coins aren't exactly the best thing since bread came sliced these days. Isn't everyone more or less struggling to survive?

1/10 for ethics is appropriate. I would have given them a 0.

Will the batch 1 Titan be modular or Huh

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, we have decided that the Titan miner will be modular, similar to the Neptune miner. We will be releasing more information about this in our next news update.

ah frak.....i suppose it will easier to RMA ....(an rack them up in the data hall for the Titan data hall.....bet on it)

1450w stock settings 5 cubes or 1 whole neptune 3.45Th/s

Are you *always* stoned? Is that it?

The above is exceptionally optimistic; if your cubes run stable on the stock 475Mhz then you're looking at 0.65TH per cube. Most people are able to get 0.7TH per cube by dialing in the clocks and voltages (very simple to do in stock web interface).

The chips run at around 300w each but that's at 0.7v after VRM's which add around 20% inefficiency; so you're going to be pulling around 1800w from your 12v supply. With a half decent PSU you're looking at 1900w at the wall for 3.25TH = 0.58 w/gh or with minimal tweaking 2000w at wall for 3.5TH = 0.57 w/gh.

That's if KfC don't screw you with dead dies that they refuse to RMA and your PCI-e plugs/cables don't melt.

Hi KNC, just wondering you still delay your miner deliveries just to protect the network? Grin

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what is exact wattage of 1 Neptune brick at the wall (in Europe) using branded PSU, without any overclocking, at stock speed (as advertised)? And what is exact hashrate of the device (average) on panel and on mining pool?
I would like to add this device to my small chart, showing efficiency of various ASIC miners. Thank you!

Total is 2000 Watt @ wall.
(238VAC x 8.4A)
3.55 TH/s.

If by "brick" you mean 'cube' divide each number by 5.
400W @ wall
700GH/s
~1.75 GH/s per Watt
or
~0.57 Watt per GH/s

If you are interested in the 20nm ASIC itself, subtract 25% from Watt @ wall
300W @ ASIC
700GH/s
~2.33 GH/s per Watt
or
~0.43 W per GH/s

YMMV

AFox, did you file in Sweden? How long did the whole process take?

I hired a lawyer in my country (France) specialized in European law.
It took two weeks.
I don't know how the lawyer did it.
He just asked for the invoice from KNC, my IBAN (account informations) and my identity card.
The interesting thing, is that I paid in BTC, but KNC issued me an invoice in USD and paid me back by bank transfer in USD.

So you basically made money? Paid 11 btc or so, and got $10,000 back (which would buy 16.6 btc now)?
Brilliant, instead of buying a machine that makes bitcoin, you invented a refund process that makes even MORE bitcoing the machine.

No he did not make money. He paid $10k and got back his $10k in another form.

Not true. He bought a machine that produces bitcoin not dollars (and he bought it with btc). His refund of the machine produced 5.6 BTC more than he paid. His refund produced 3x more bitcoin than the machine will over its life. He did a great trade.

All right, I give. He's as sly as AFox.
Wouldn't it have been easier to sell the BTC when it was worth $1200 and buy it back at $600? You know, cut out the middleman, the lawyers, the stress etc...

maybe he could not at the time. maybe he liked the optionality of betting the difficulty curve? it could have went either way for him you understand correct? The miner could have been worth than paid when they shipped also. He received something of value called optionality. He did a good trade and then he did the correct exit trade also, netting him more than anyone who took delivery will ever receive.

by that doggie means Ker-plunk down she goes.....

heh no refunds on anything made batch 3 on (and likely no more neptune refunds anyway now that they are shipping)

90 Warranty now vs previously 1 year

large data hall now vs none last fall

much has changed since KNC went to the dark side....you could say they "BFL'd us customers" for the betterment of KNC ...heh

maybe I really don't want to win the lottery...I could end up being a real 'prick' if I had big bucks if the above slide is any indication!

Searing

just cause you win the lottery doesn't mean you'll do a BFL or KNC...its the greed monster that does it...so if you win alotta money and don't feel the need to get tons more money you should be fine Wink

money changes ppl but ppl never change money...which should happen...the old saying goes, money is the root of all evilness Grin

Pretty much nailed it dogie, as usual, but I wouldn't have given KfC 7/10 communication from my personal experience; 9/10 when I ordered last year but now 4/10 at best.

Correct they refused my refund (requested before any were dispatched) and also refuse to RMA my dead die. Not to mention the fire hazard.

Excellent cable. I hope I won't need those, but if I do I will happily take a bunch off you.

Have we figured out what is the best PSU for this application (Neppies)? If so, does anyone have a volume discount arrangement? I can't imagine everyone is just buying these retail at the local electronics shop.
