From KNCminer April 8 Neptune Update, regarding the "Hash while you wait" or "plan B":

Quote
The first customers (batch 1) are expected to be hashing in our data center in early June and the last customer will hash in our data center around the last week of June.

Early June is definitely now, the data center has been ready and has been eating up our potential profits for a while now. There is really no reason why this plan doesn't come into play right now.

This was obviously a gesture to prevent us from requesting a refund, and in my case, it worked. I am so sick of being lied to and treated like shit, so please KNC, reward your customers who actually stuck with you!



As stated before, anything they say is %100 on a marketing/sales level and you have to think that way also. Not just blatantly believe them.


 Stated by who?  If you can't get factual information from the company producing the product with respect to delivery dates, who can you get it from?  You?! Me?! I don't think so.  Do you have a magical crystal ball that allows one to guess at the percentage accuracy of a companies claims?  Given KNC's earlier reputation, I would say they deserved credibility.  Now I would say otherwise, but isn't it really too late for those who are waiting a refund given that the money might have been better spent elsewhere?

Does anybody know the current estimated shipping data for the Titan, anything more precise than Q2/Q3?

This has to be one of the greatest marketing tactics ever.  It's actually a 6 month window. Maybe April 1 maybe sept 30.  Even then it's only estimated not guaranteed.

Neptune supposed to be Q1/Q2, right? now is end of Q2, and 3rd batch even doesn't have a delivery date, simply one month after batch 2, who knows when.

Conclusion: they promised delivery date is just a reference, could be next year.

p.s., I did't follow KNC all the way, but based on recent conversion/online posts, KNC promise no longer exists; correct me if I am wrong.

They are very poor at communication with customers. They've stated the "news, alas no news after all." a few times. A lot of people have cancelled their orders, I among them. There's been a ridiculous delay to process refunds. Some people have been able to get btc refunds which might cut a week or two off of "processing." So, you're in for waiting and waiting for your refund. Sad You can read back several pages to see what others have experienced. Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the info. I will report when I get the refunds. By the way, looks like many people are ordering Titan; but based on the Neptune experience, hard to believe they can keep their words, or they may keep the words, cause they want secure a portion of the scrypt market share. So again this is risky.

Probably I am one of very few peole decided cancellation now. They said I am in the queue for refunds and they will process ASAP but may take several weeks for refunds to be processed. This is ridiculous. So we have a long long queue waiting for refunds? Anyone did cancellation and got refunds recently?

By the way, few people taking about the newletter. I got it immediately before they answered my cancellation. What a coincidence! Anyway, the newletter is meaningless, just a copy of their online news on June 2. This means they don't have any progress within a week, or these guys are just careless about the news they released to us. (OK, these guys are not stupid they did modify the date  Grin)

News Update On Neptune Production
 
We're pleased to announce that our ground-breaking 20nm chip development process is moving forward as planned.
 
The wafers for the first of our Neptune deliveries left the fab yesterday. Next stop is the packaging house, to turn the wafers into actual chips, so they can be mounted on our boards.
 
There are still a few steps to go before delivery, including power consumption measurements, thermal stress testing and general tweaking, but stay tuned as we'll soon be able to announce final delivery date for the first round of Neptune deliveries.
 
Graphics for our Neptune housing is being finalized as well, and we've included a sneak preview from our Art Director Robert, at the top of this post.
 
Best,
The KnC Team, Stockholm, June 2, 2014.

I was excited to see an email update from KnCMiner... then disappointed to find that it was just a summary of the recent news. That is: no news.

We're fast approaching mid-June. CA batch customers were promised 3TH/s cloud hashing in early June. That's the news we are waiting for.

Clueless!
For those of you that still have an order with knc they've had your money now for 8 months. If you had refunded early at $10,000 you could have bought 28 bitcoins when it was $350 and now had btc worth $18,500.

You could buy 4T from bitmain now and have $600 left over. Why are you all so determined to keep your orders? How much longer are you going to wait?

yeah i saw that order ..they ship in 48 hrs at 15c elec where i'm at if i remember right if i bought coin at 650 usd i got like .20 btc more then if i got the miners (4 of them)
used 10,200 for my knc neptune number.that included elec etc and such...not worth the bother

yeah...this year may be the last merry go round for any 'major' asic purchase ...likely from now on it is under 500 buck toys if any in 2015

gotta let a coin be a coin
I am still happy with my KnC Jupiters, but I ask for a refund for Neptunes in early february.
I am glad I did that and invested the BTC in Dragons 1T miners.

Same exact position. Very happy (and still mining with) my Jupiters, chugging away. Neptunes, made the smart move (like everyone else) and went refunds. If they are on time with Titans and are what I expect, then continuing, KnCMiner is still good in my book.

You're selling shares in them, so of course they're still good Wink " Titan Shares starting at $29 for 1 MH/s "

Lol, I'm sorry, was this supposed to be a jab at me or something?

I'm not selling anything in regards to the SP10s or SP30s and I think those are good machines (should be priced better) but they are good in my book as well.

I think in regards to scrypt mining the Lee Group is doing well too. Not selling anything related to them.

So, I'm sorry if you thought I was 'shilling' for KnC but people have seen me post in here time and time again for a lonngg time about what I do and do NOT like about KnC. Additionally, you even quoted me saying I refunded all of my orders on a miner because I knew they weren't good. Clearly showing I'm not 'all' for KnC.

no, no jab. just thought the whole thing was funny. Thanks for clearing it up.

Yeah... they will properly have to mine with "my" machine a few month before it is shipped, just to make sure that Andreas can buy a 2nd Ferrari.

From their recent news, at least 1 month.. don't want to get ahead of myself and make any other estimates but at least another month.

All right thanks... I only got a few shares in a titan, so I don't have too much to loose, and the Jupiter's I had shares in is sold long time ago.
Have a nice evening.
