When did they turned to be so untrusted ? Seemed very good company from the start.

it's now been 22 since i requested a refund. i emailed KNC to ask when i can expect my refund and Anna Jagdhar told me their finance department is "extremely busy" and i wont get my refund for a few more weeks. kurt told me 7-10 days when i originally asked for a refund.

do not trust anything these people tell you.

Guys the garbage KNC is shipping out now is apparently used/faulty hardware from previous RMA's most likely. I would even think some of those parts weren't even soldered on the boards when it was packed up. They just needed to make sure they sent enough parts to make up a full miner rig, that's all. Seriously, how can those little tiny parts fall off like that?

If you are still waiting for your Neptune, tell them you don't want any heat sink fans or anything. You just want the boards, controller card(s) and cabling and that's it.

I wonder if they chose to increase the insurance on the shipping? Because UPS only insures up to $100 for free, if you want more you have to ask for more and they charge considerably more if you want more insurance.

Nice! But pricey.

How are people planning on powering their Neptunes out of interest? I've been looking at server PSU's and breakout boards.

I had one controller set with 2 boxes of miners (the only ones which seemed to be functioning) and hashing as expected at 1 TH/s on overnight to test them. This morning 5 out of the 6 ASIC boards had shut down, very likely due to the high temperatures. Even I have built them up in an airconditioned office room with 20 degrees and good ventilation. My "miner" office which I had especially rented to run my Bitcoin farm is in an office complex where other people also run their servers. Now I have paid 10.000 USD and received a pile of junk, invested lots of money in buying PSU, a small computer, paid my technician to set up everything professionally, rented an office and have miners which do NOT EVEN F******** work!

I am sorry KnC, but I really have enough and if you read the forum, so does everyone who has received their "Super" Junk. Not only that those miners don't function properly they are so badly constructed and get so hot that they are dangerous. My technician who had built up many server farms and is highly skilled advised me not to run those miners unsupervised and only in a factory surrounding where if they start to burn the damage would be limited!!!!!!!!!

I have written to KnC, informed Sam and Customer Support, have taken lots of picture evidence during yesterdays 12 hours testing marathon and have the testimony of a licensed technician.

This is not what I have paid for and 10.000 USD is a lot of money.

I am sorry KnC, I always supported you and had hoped that you would make things right, but reading so many other horror stories in almost every forum about the 3TH Super Junior it seems you have just tried to make a quick buck by freeing space for 400 Neptunes for people who didn't want to wait until you say you would deliver them. It was obvious from the comments from other customers that the boxes have been taken from your data centre in North Sweden, thus are used and have already brought their ROI for you. Those were shipped carelessly and only partially or non functioning to customers who had all invested their money to buy a quality miner similar to the Jupiters you had delivered before.

I doubt that this action is legal and unless KnC is refunding my money (I am willing to ship back the whole crap to KnC but NOT on my expenses) or finds another solution for me, I will join a class lawsuit. Those "miners" which KnC has sent out are dangerous, they overheat, they are not proper secured, parts are missing or loosely assembled, they are a danger to have them around.

How will KnC react if due to their miners and apartment catches fire and there is loss of life?

KnC has to react now and not just patch up their delivery hoping the shitstorm calms down.

YOUR 3TH SUPER JUPITER MINERS ARE DANGEROUS TO RUN FOR CUSTOMERS - every technician can verify this.

Please find a solution immediately.

Who wants to buy 5.4TH miner for $10? its possible! http://devcoinauctions.com/blog/auction/sp30-yukon-august-batch-asic-miner-5-3ths/

early bird special.

I'm so happy, still have some Neptune orders because I forgot them. And now they are doubled  !
Also, KNC is learning from their mistakes (shipping, firmware, maybe dead lines), so I'm sure to receive full functional miners.

The article was probably transcribed from Swedish into English and it's likely 1m krona ($190,000) not 1m dollars. Didn't we already have this discussion in this thread? They'd need something like 75%* of the network to earn a million dollars per day.



* ok, I didn't actually do the math but you get the idea, lol.

When they claim to make $1 million per day when the dc is complete, I did a simple calculation if that happens at 12 Billion difficulty they need 60 PH to do that!  @.10 electricity

WTF are they BSing or they have that much firepower.

Thats 20,000 Neptunes.  So it is they pre-sell 2500 units and make 10x that amount for themselves first I guess huh.

Just download and unzip.

(at your service!)

Also I can not understand
Why they do not offer refund for Titan?
Titanic?

- CGminer 4.2.3
- Small fix for Ericcson DCDC monitor
- Support for NTP


I have been maintaining a custom firmware based on 1.0 initially, and now 1.01 that adds support for the unsupported overclocking some are doing on the forums, adds bertmod, and a few other small things... It's integrated into the KNC UI and runs automatically when the miner boots..  Average November runs at 940Gh/s with 4 modules, 6 can hit 1.45Th/s..
