Hey, I am curious about your bullishness on Neptune. With btc being where it is today, one can get at least 23 btc per Neptune if cancelled. I still did not pull the trigger, but it is getting close. What is your rationale? I don't see anybody paying huge premium for the machine at these btc values or machine mining more than 15-18 btc optimistically if hashing starts on May1.
Forget about breaking even. That would have only happened had KnC shipped in Q1. Well, that's not going to happen, so it's over for Neptunes. By the time Neptunes ship, difficulty will be 10B+, at which point a Neptune will generate less than .15 btc per day. That puts RoI at over 3 months without even considering any difficulty increases! Believe me, there's lots of difficulty increases still to come. Bitmain knows how to scale production. They're going to flood the market with 1 TH/s machines before Neptunes even start shipping.
you could well be correct i have a 1st batch Neptune also (10k version) but that is why i have the 'out button" ie refund option..(which is likely why the Titan or any other kNC machine will not have such refund option in the future..duh people like me must drive KNC crazy..over order then punt)
i'll keep watching and punt if i need to ...so no risk to wait for a bit...and see if they get their act together)
but yeah it is more likely you are correct then me....the way the past has gone..but just so you see the options of us waiting ie logic such as it is
with the refund no down side yet
(heck i'd just blow the refund on wine/women and song.yeah right if that was the case i would not be on here anyway)

I'm holding out for an in stock scrypt asic miner before I take the plunge.
