Considering that I got refunded 22BTC per Neptune, how many TH/s would be needed on 1st July to mine the same amount of coins.
My prediction is 6TH/s in July (16-17BTC) and 6TH/s more from the last free batch (4-5BTC)

I am very curious at what KNC would do to make the Neptune delivery worth for the people that are still waiting (why are you still waiting?)

As far as i know, packaging takes 3 weeks, right?
2-3 weeks was the time thrown around for most 28nm chips.

I assume the "general tweaking" is the bringup process and everything else? Because those are just trivial things that don't take any time Roll Eyes

KNC are such bullshitters, always pretending things are just around the corner.

Remember this gem from their newsletter in February?
"As we are getting closer to the launch date of Neptune"

Four months later and nothing.


Isn't this newsletter strange, as KNC don't normally announce diddly-squat?

They wait until the day they promised to start Plan B and then claim they have wafers?

At least we don't have to hear "20nm isn't possible until next year" anymore.

I think a lot of people who claimed that just assumed that since company x and y isn't already on 20nm it isn't ready yet and wouldn't happen, 20nm just wasn't worth it for most of the industry when 16nm is just around the corner and the cost of 20nm vs potential benefits over 28nm just made no sense.

this. exactly. that nipple tune power draw x 2 is gonna burst a few breakers

Wow, turns out knc had a subliminal message in their case design teaser directed towards their competition (i.e. their customers). Can you spot it?

...and I don't see packaging taking 2 weeks more than 28nm; as that part of the process hasn't changed much, and isn't really susceptible to the meddling of Swedish Chefs', but I wouldn't be surprised if  PCB or controller issues popped up.

I'd like to think though that most "bugs" on that have been worked out on 28nm already, but who knows.

But, but , but

20nm is impossible this year.
I read it right here in this thread!


lol


YMMV

yes, these were my predictions from January this year. and KfC advised you would have your rig by end Q1/Q2

But, well done to you for trawling back through the thread. You must have a lot of time on your hands - which is good becasue it helps to be patient if you have an order for a neptune  Grin

I didn't trawl back, I remembered because I disputed the statements at the time.

Way back when there were what I call the 'Home On The Range' folks.
(It is an American folk song)
"Where never is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day"

When the diff kept going up they changed their tune.
Some bailed on the thread (Orama) some switched teams (Ewik)

Conversly there are the absolute pessimist folks.

The error is in the 'absolute' portion of the position.
IMneverHO

My reality is somewhere inbetween.
Both camps provide good data if you know to read between the lines.

YMMV
Smiley

EDIT: the volume of each camp has some relation to the current price of BTC when statements are made.

EDIT #2 I misquoted the song, It is actually
"Where seldom is heard a discouraging word"
I used an absolute (never)
Obviously I am not exempt from incorrectly using absolutes.

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.

wht the fuck is that?

Pretty case so that customers forget about the other stuff related to the miner.

My thoughts exactly.  Wow, a sneak peek at the fucking graphics they will put on the case.  Amazing job KnC.
