Topic: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com - page 495. (Read 3050075 times)

I love this, that factory has been running 7 days a week at least since January.  They've changed the board order page to allow for 500 per order and they show more than that in stock....

why is a refund out of the question for you? their ghs/btc is average at best.

Yes, rats were leaving the sinking ship, looking for new ships not sinking yet

anyway, I told them many times before that the heatsink mounting was bad, but this new design is basically a sabotage on the company.

What did you expect witha  company lead by a drunk?

That isn't true in my case. 13 of 18 ASICs work, albeit suboptimally. And with the carnage that was inside each case, it's amazing that 13 actually survived. I don't doubt that they were working ASICs when they were originally packed. And if they were used, they did a good job of removing any sign of dust.

Right they sent the non working junk for disorientation to kill time.

Smart, but evil.

bad thing is KNC loses nothing.....knc customers paid for the unit and the shipping.....and most units have probably been mined with so they probably paid for themselves 5x over, then they send us the bunk ones to kill time while the good ones are hashing away...then we they are ready they will ship out our BROKENJUP replacements. Weak KNC. WEAK!

I ended up putting up the SP30 up for auction... I believe there will be a lucky person who will pay less than $0.01 per GH/s for 5.3 TH.

I think the refund customers made the best choice.
After that, the SuperJuper clients, because they can start THIS week.
Beside this, SuperJuper clients shall never reach a ROI.

Neptune:
End of June 3 TH in the cloud, and in august 6 TH in hand shall never generate a ROI.

Or the BTC must rise. That is our only hope to get our money back.

I have worse feeling for the Neptune orders.

Well good for those who still have Neptune orders!

Us FrankenJup victims are most definitely NOT getting 2 for 1. I might be able to salvage some of my working ASICs once I get my replacement boards. But that means I have to buy more heatsink/fans, controller boards, PSU's, etc.

I feel screwed on both ends!

Let's see when you get your free stuff. HashFail hasn't shipped the promised MPP until now I don't assume that KnC won't ship their free stuff, but they will do it at the end of the line after they ship everything else and after they replace the Jupiters from their DC with Neptunes. Good luck.

Fuuuuuuck that.  They can give out all the free Neptunes they want, by the time they ship nobody is breaking even.  That's also after you've had fun figuring out how to power the fuckin' things.  They've failed spectacularly this go around.

By the time you get your free unit the difficulty will have skyrocketed. Good luck.

 
Wow so we will receive 2 Neptunes for the price of one... That's over 6 TH!!

I think I will have to upgrade the main fuses but it's a great gesture from KnC.
 

Now that's a lousy announcement. It looks like it's an article from a news magazine with all those Sam quotes. Since we still have no timelines let's assume first batch will ship at the end of June, second batch will ship at end of July and third batch will ship end of August. You will get your free Neptune mid September. Ok!

Also second announcement today. This was a very busy day for Sam.


KNC PLEASE REFUND ME!

KnCMiner Offers Two-for-One Deal on Bitcoin Mining’s Most Powerful Machine to Loyal Customers

 

 

STOCKHOLM, DATE, 2014 — KnCMiner (https://www.kncminer.com/), the most trusted brand in Bitcoin mining, announced today that it will give every current customer who has an outstanding order for a machine from its Neptune line’s first two batches a free Neptune from its upcoming “third batch” of Neptunes. This represents a $5,995 value and, perhaps more importantly, will provide KnCMiner’s most loyal customers with twice the hashing power they would have otherwise received with just one of these machines.

 

“We know that it is getting tougher to successfully mine in this environment and we want our customers to have every advantage we can give them,” said KnCMiner CEO Sam Cole. “So to combat the downward trend in mining returns for the customers who have been with us right from the beginning, and to show our competition we mean business, we will be over-delivering again on all orders.”

 

Neptune is KnCMiner’s first 20nm product. It features a minimum of 3,000 GH/s (aka 3 TH/s) of hashing speed, five times faster than the company’s most recent bestselling miner, the Jupiter. It also boasts a 30 percent reduction in watts-per-GH. Thanks to KnCMiner’s offer, each customer who ordered a first or second batch Neptune, will get a minimum 6TH for each order, with their original 3TH product shipped in June and the free “third batch” machine delivered in August.

 

“As miners face growing competition, and the increasing difficulty to mine Bitcoin, we will keep working on creative and unorthodox ways to put the best and most loyal customers on the planet first and provide them with the competitive edge they’ve come to expect from KnCMiner,” said Cole.

 

The company has recently announced other initiatives to engage all form of cryptominers, including the launch of a “Mini Neptune” machine (1500 GH/s, $3,495), and for all those Litecoin and Dogecoin enthusiasts, the availability of scrypt miners—the Titan (300 MH/s, $9,995) and “Mini Titan” (150 MH/s, $5,495). KnCMiner also offers cloud-hosted mining participation to existing customers. To learn more about these products and services, please visit https://www.kncminer.com.

I was going to order a Titan, but now think my coin will be better spent elsewhere. Good luck to you guys, hopefully you can at least eventually recoup your investment.

Did ANYBODY received refunds in the last two weeks?
I am curious if this process even ongoing?
Thanks.

Well that sure escalated.

I remember back in the old days (1,200 pages ago), we looked forward to the gear.. and here we are today.

Haha.
