So , now they deserve for a pardon, they aren't not willing to ship, they just not able to, forgive them~
Anyone else besides me using Anotherhost notice their miners are suddenly down?
They were down for about 4 hours - I assume you received their during/post outage emails.
Yeah. I was in the middle of upgrading firmware to over clock and I thought I had set the whole place on fire. Haha
I also hope they don't switch Plan B off for a week after they ship your Neppy, as it takes about a week to receive a unit what with shipping time plus customs delays.
I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but I thought Sam said it's either or, Plan B or wait, did he change it?

Plan B
As you are all aware we broke many world records in releasing the 28nm chip in such a short amount of time. We are a very ambitious company but even for us, to go “all in” and not be able to deliver on our performance targets, like our competition, would be completely unacceptable to us as a company and everything we stand for. So today we are introducing, Plan B.
To make sure that everyone who has paid for their Neptune gets their hashing power we are building a data centre like no other. It is located in the north of Sweden not far from Facebook and other Mega Data Centres and it’s totally powered by renewable energy.
Over the next few months we are bringing online enough hashing power to make sure that any delay in the Neptune timeline will be compensated with a completely free hosted hashing packages to all fully paid customers.
In the addition to this commitment, as part of Plan B, for all Neptune customers, we will be offering a free conversion to a hosted hashing package where we will simply fill your wallets directly and you won’t have to worry about anything else. All the other costs taken care of by us. We are able to do this by using our 28nm chips which is why all products that we have coming out of our factory in the next few months will go into building and supplying the Plan B facility.
If, during the course of development of Neptune, there is any threat to the timelines for delivery, those delays will not result in the loss of any mining time for our Neptune customers. We will release more details of this as we get closer to the delivery date, but for now we have one of the world’s largest data centres to build.

I read "any delay in the Neptune timeline will be compensated with a completely free hosted hashing packages to all fully paid customers" as meaning that Plan B will kick in at the point when your Neptune should have shipped and will continue until it is shipped.
Then separately, if you want to convert your Neptune to a hosted plan, you can.
I think it would be good if KnCMiner could clarify these questions and release more details of how Plan B will work. June is not far away!
Its almost implying they may or may not have any Neptunes ready by end of Q2. But we made alot of money mining with your pre-order money from November, let us take some of the profit and develop the Neptune at our own pace. In any case they will let you use the hashrate from their super Jupiter farm. wth
I also hope they don't switch Plan B off for a week after they ship your Neppy, as it takes about a week to receive a unit what with shipping time plus customs delays.

I think one of the hashing boards in one of my November Jupiters just failed.
Basically, whenever I connect power to this board, it seems to short out the power supply so the power supply won't turn on. I've tried two different power supplies, and the same thing happens with them both when this board is plugged in.
The unit runs fine with the other three hashing boards plugged into the power supply.
I'm going to remove the bad board and inspect it tonight, but I think it's done.
This Jupiter started acting up a week ago and would randomly stop hashing, and I suspect this was the cause.

Wow that sucks. Remember you are SOL if you try and RMA it. knfail decided to alter the T&C to now state only a 3 month warranty on any of their products, unless you have a copy that you printed out with your order.
You don't need a copy you can get the October 28th version here: http://web.archive.org/web/20131028025145/https://www.kncminer.com/pages/tandc

Are you trying to use multi-rail PSUs? My guess is yes. Use a good quality, Gold or Platinum single rail PSU for all mining rigs. Seasonic, Corsair and EVGA make the best PSUs for mining in my opinion.
No, I'm using a EVGA SuperNOVA 1000G2 PSU, which is solid. I tried two different PSUs, and neither of them will even turn on when the bad hashing board is the only thing connected to them.
Also, the Jupiter runs fine when I connect the other three hashing boards to the exact same PSUs.
This miner had been running fine 24-7 since early December.
So what has to happen for mining to remain profitable in 2015 ?
I've said this several times. Mining bitcoin on the consumer level is over. Normal households cannot supply enough electricity or cooling power to any mining rigs that can break even in an normal amount of time. And I'm not speaking to those guys that re-wired their homes and added special cooling to keep mining at "home".
When I see people posting their pictures of their gear more and more of it is in some commercial data center they rented or work. If you work for a company that can provide the space and free electricity then you are really lucky, but in my opinion consumer mining is over. While there will always be guys running video cards, spending more money on hardware and electricity, that doesn't count. I'm talking about current hardware/specs/profit at the given time.
+1,I'm selling all my BTC mining gear & going altcoin
Only 4 months or so & the home miner is done yep, I'm currently looking to rent out a space from my friend in a building and build a mini DC for myself
shouldn't cost that much...i get to keep mining and enjoy living in my home again 
hehe maybe even try and host other ppl's stuff if they want but it won't be upto par with the rest of the big guys DC's thats for sure...I've been following this thread for some time now. And there isn't much talk about Titans.
I'm planning to buy one, can anyone give some more insight?
All I'm seeing here is that ''It might ship broken'' ''It'll die in 4 months from heat''
As far as sending them a bank transfer of $10K, I'll be risking that along with will the machine even work
Someone stop me before I do it or someone give me a push to do it is what I'm looking for.
With the current rate of Doge or Lite coin. Let's say I get $400 / 300/MHS that's $12K a month. I'll make it back in a month. Or am I walking into a scam right now.

Because people don't usually dump out $10k without a return policy. There is a NO RETURN POLICY in there for a reason and the reason is KNC has no idea on how this "Titan" will end up.
with Big Risk comes Big Gains
all upto whether you want to gamble on it or not ^^ really wanna spend 10k on equipment that could blow up before that first month? these units won't be tested, and you know how great these asic companies are for uber awesome RMA...lmao well good luck if you do decide to go for it I've been following this thread for some time now.

Only 4 months or so & the home miner is done I just don't know how to react this update, 21 May, still not get your 20nm chips, so we still need to expecting assembly and SMT process, btw does bare board already available?
Now, we can counting how many lead time we are still expecting, well it will be at least 3 weeks to go if you got chip by next week; and does boxes of Nipy ready? how many time they consume to assembly a machine, oh my dear it will be another month to start shipping if you have chip by next week(Monday).........
And according to the latest tap out news, there is at least 2 weeks to expecting 20nm chips, Oh be serious my dear~ shortest leadtime is 5 weeks to go my guess~

OK, ^in my post I reckoned Q4 end. but i'm an eternal pessimist, you are likely to have a neptune, in hand, hashing, in September (if KfC can build with ZERO problems)
And still need time to tune up firmware and performance, but hope it will be a happy ending for every body, and take this experience for not to let every one upset again~ cheers~
I also hope they don't switch Plan B off for a week after they ship your Neppy, as it takes about a week to receive a unit what with shipping time plus customs delays.

I have to throw a shout-out for XFX supplies. They're priced well, single rail, and the higher output units are made by Seasonic.
I have an XFX Pro 1000w that has been absolutely rock solid running a Bitfury rig for the better part of a year. But as with any manufacturer, stay away from the low-end multi-rail units.
I love the Corsair AX1200i PSUs too but the EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 are $100 less and have excellent reviews. They are Gold rated but some reviews say they could be easily be Platinum rated. But alas, the don't have the fancy USB interface/GUI that the Corsairs have. But I don't find that useful for Bitcoin mining rigs anyways.
true enough, the UI is pretty pointless in terms of mining... i've never owned an EVGA, i'll need to have a look into that this coming winter when the space heaters come outta the cupboards

Hi,
Yes, you have 90 days warranty on the boards, but we will require the 18 broken ASIC boards back before we initiate any RMA's for these.
I will now place your controllerboard/beaglebone RMA in the RMA queue.
Thanks,

Hi,
Many apologies for the misinformation. Before we can initiate any RMA numbers for broken parts, we will require the original owner of the order to contact us to notify us that he has relinquished ownership of the order and passed this to you.
Kind regards,
I am absolutely fucken speachless, 7 days fucking around.....
Im going to finish posting our conversation online to show people how you have just been fucking me around. Knc is the fucken worst company I have ever dealt with and I will Never buy your fucken products again

yes thanks for reporting , i know how you feel ... i was ripped off by lightningasic.com and got nothing but grief.. we should stick together... why is it every time a company wants thousands of dollars for a product they think it is ok to only take a payment that is unsecured, therefore leaving them holding all the cards when things dont go right
