See the timestamp on the far right?  What time was your order?  I have 4 more orders 4 hours later and they are still marked "paid".

And an official update...

Neptune In Assembly.

We’re pleased to announce touch-down of the first batch of our new 20 nanometer Neptune processors. They are now going through the testing/tweaking/assembly stage in Sweden and shipping will commence this week.


A World First 20-Nanometer Design
The Neptune is a formidable technological achievement. It is the first commercially available 20 nanometer processor shipped to end users. KnCMiner can take pride in beating all competitors to the 20nm stage, including the likes of Intel, Apple and Samsung.

The Neptune is a 1440-core 55x55 mm package tailor-made for the Bitcoin market. Each Neptune consists of 5 chips and comes in new sturdier enclosure and packacing. Using the speed offered by a true 20nm die process each Neptune churns out more than 3 TH/s while consuming only 2.1 KW at the wall. That works out to 0,7 watts per GH/s or less.

However, there are margins built into our design and the software running our chips can only improve from today on. All future software updates to raise the hashing speed will be free of charge.


Software Updates
We've reached our initial targets on speed and power consumption. But as this is the first day we’ve had the Neptune in our lab our technicians have already implemented a few tricks to increase hashing speed and we’ll release updates to our firmware shortly.

The first two batches of the Neptune miner is all sold-out. Batch three is available for pre-order now in our web shop. Watch this space for more info on upcoming products based on our new state-of-the-art 20nm design process.

We expect to ship to Batch 1 pre-order customers this week and to Batch 2 pre-order customers before the end of the month.

This last one I just needed the beaglebone top, I ordered one off of amazon that works.  Knc said they would rma the top part for me so Ill have a spare.

Go knc site news with photos
Is awesome
Very nice

Mine is still paid and is at same day as yours

Well fuck me running.  My earliest order just went to "in progress"!



I have 4 more orders about 4 hours later.  We will see when those change.

Congratulations! Mind sharing a screenshot (blank out order number and sensitive info etc)

REALLY ?

One of my early orders are listed in progress now. 

i have a couple early batch one orders left and status is currently still "PAID".

I am quite curious to see what it CANT DO

~L)L~

I don't think that should be taken literally, unless anyone with a batch one order has seen there's change to in progress, shipping, or shipped etc I wouldn't class it as being "in progress"

It's in a shipping phase while there is NO word on its actual capabilities sush hash speed, etc. This is very strange. I have never seen a situation like this.
I am quite curious what Neptune can do.

Neptune Miners in production/shipping phase...

Hi,

We are currently in the production and shipping phase with the Neptune miners and our main priority and focus is on shipping the miners to customers as quickly as possible. Due to this extremely busy period the processing of refunds will be taking longer.

However we can assure you that we will process all refund requested according to the date and time the request was made and issue the refund as soon as physically possible.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

me too, also making only 5,5 Th/s. ATM 6 Boards are faulty and replacing before 6 Boards. Now I'am waiting on an reply for the next RMA.
Also one controller was not working. Now the controller is replaced and it's working fine for me.

Shipping date was 28. April.

@sergio we are compiling a list of open refunds to get a picture of what is really going on. Do you have open refunds?

At this point int time KNC can not be trusted, here I posted a link to my other post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7356095

The are taking forever with refunds, scammed super jupiter customers, and basically broken all of the promises they have made.
For more details follow the link above, some will agree with me some will not, but a lot of the things stated are facts not opinions.


I would want everyone to get a refund for several reason, the biggest one is once a company does not respect their own customers and breaks their own promises anything is possible, just look at the super jupiter customers.

What warranty do you have that Neptune will not turned out to be like a super jupiter, absolutely none, even getting a refund which was supposed to be a safe choice is now risky refunds are taking over 2 months in btc, and over 3 months in dollars based on what has been posted on the knc forum and this forum.

My personal recommendation is to get a refund soon before it is too late, it may be too late already we do not know that.

Once trust is broken there is no honor, once you get the neptune there will be no refunds, that is what knc did to super jupiter customers, what makes you think you are different than a supper jupiter customer? we are all the same, if the super jupiter customers got scammed, we could as well get scammed, I have already requested my refund, and have been waiting over a moth for it.

When refunds are delayed it is a very bad sign, intersango, cointerra, BFL and now KNC they have all delayed refund, and we know how the first 3 turned out to be, knc is following the same path.

I did my duty in warning everyone in regards of KNC, hopefully I am wrong but all the evidence says otherwise.

I did warm people in regards gox unethical behavior in 2012, hopefully some listened, I was criticized back then by a few because mtgox was legit, I had no clue how bad things were and what would happen 2 years latter.

My warning against gox on this forum in 2012, was about unethical behavior, the scam back then, it was an anonymous site no id was required, no kyc rules, and then later in 2012 they started freezing withdraws on anonymous accounts, nothing wrong if they have a change in plans, but the problem was that customers did not have an option to opt out, like saying you changed the rules, now I am out, but instead by force they had to ID otherwise the money dollars or BTC were confiscated (not possible to withdraw), this was in 2012 approx, I would have to check my own post for exact date, it was the very first sign that things were wrong at mtgox, wrong from an ethical point of view, from a legal perceptive I do not know but I would think that was ilegal. As early as 2012 mtgox had experience in blocking withdraws.
I did try to warn people, most did not hear, probably a few did, most likely because mtgox grew exponentially, and since the anonymous accounts where only the really early ones, the only really affected by the first scam were an early generation of bitcoin users as mtgox grew this users became an increasingly small percentage, maybe some of the people that have been around here a lot can remember that first mtgox scam.

Now I am warning in regards KNC, a situation that is looking uglier each day that passes.









 

    URGENT NOTICE!!!!


Hello my fellow miners!

This is a call to action against KnC Miner.

We are running a hosting company and luckily we only invested a small amount in this scam scheme. When it became obvious that KnC wouldn't hold its promise for delivery, we cancelled our order and requested a refund. That was about 2 months ago. Since then we have been told the "sorry"-story.

However, it seems that KnC is knowingly playing on the fact, that customers from outside Sweden would not afford to risk hiring Swedish lawyers to sue them.

Well, we want to take a different approach. We are building a case against KnC and are asking all KnC customers who are still waiting for a refund to contact us. You have probably been scammed.

As there is no transparency coming from KnC, we're basically blind and have no idea what is going on!
There is a real risk that KnC already is insolvent.

Please note, if you support us, you will be listed as witness in the case against KnC.

First we need to know how many refunds/the total amount of money that is outstanding.  

You can post it here or PM me with your order number and the amount (rounded).

If you have a Twitter account or other social media, spread the word!!!

Let's not waste any more time!

Alex

Is it the beaglebone you are missing, or the whole controller?
