Respectfully......Not true; The boards were sold to previous customers only. The problem with this, is they made enough boards to fill every Saturn and Mercury, which is where they should have went first...Saturn and Mercury owners. Jupiter owners gobbled them up quickly, and had more buying power, of course.
P.S.  ...   What do you mean by "rescinded plans for the Neptune."?

I have firsthand knowledge they went to folks whether they were customers or not. All you had to be was REGISTERED on the website with an address. This describes thousands of folks who didn't place orders.

RE: Rescinded, they had advertised as a bullet point for the Neptunes, module upgrades. On batch 3 they took that out. Oversight perhaps, but legally they're liable for making them upgradable at this point.

Can you name another ASIC mining manufacturer that has done better?

At this time I don care any more, pay a 1000$ for a board which give you back 400$ is insane at this difficulty increase speed

Yea, those crazy 17% difficulty increases. In spite of the fact that Bitmain, Hashfast, and Cointerra are shipping in quantity, the difficulty increases seem to be slowing down.

Perhaps this is just a temporary slowdown before more large increases, or perhaps we're starting to level off a bit.

There will be no boards nor Jupiter, I read the same "SHORTLY" massage in 16. December 2013, wake up, the knc focus now just on 20nm Neptune

I sorry for you guys, but this is the automatic answer, I got exactly same 16 December 2013 = shortly Smiley
Nothing to feel sorry for...  I don't want or need any modules. I was just pointing out this was a response given this morning.....  and BTW;  Do you really think there will be no upgrade boards, after we were told so many times there will be?
I think KNC is among the most honorable companies around, and doubt seriously they would tell us so many times there will be upgrade boards, and to watch the site...  and then ....  pull the plug? No, I don't think so; KNC have never said they changed those plans, and re-confirmed it this morning.

To those who are complaining they can't use modules because they have jupiters with full ports: The jupiter wasn't advertised as being modularly upgradable. The saturn and mercury were. Yes, I believe they should sell more Jupes alongside the modules, but you purchased an item not advertised to be added-on to.

Among the miner producers that I had a pleasure/displeasure to deal with (4 different companies and 1 scam) they are so far the best. And this BS about upgrade modules not being available is actually BS. If you wanted to get some you did get some. I've got 3.

You're a tool if you believe that. You couldn't just "get" them, and despite their advertisements since day 1, still can't. KNC was deceptive and purposefully mismanaged the entire modular side of the business on purpose--as they later admitted. Originally the module boards were going to be produced continually for saturn/mercury owners, as wanted/needed, and limited ONLY to those verified direct customers FIRST, and if there were any left they would let anyone buy them.

KNC then, without telling the saturn or mercury customes, decided it wasn't worth their time or effort to waste an hour setting up database flags and controls to manage the customer-only sale, and simply opened the module purchase up to everyone in the world whether or not they even had KNC equipment.

In less than 90 seconds, they oversold inventory. Because they were bafoons! This screwed the majority of KNC customers, as many of the modules went to non-customers and were ebayed at 10x value in some cases. They also admitted in failing to properly notify the Mercury and Saturn owners about the sale which led to most modules going to Jupiter owners instead--the people who WEREN'T supposed to get them first-dibs.

So, NO, you couldn't just get them if you wanted them.

ASIDE from that, they were supposed to KEEP making them for Batch 1&2 units, AND for batch 1&2 Neptune, but haven't, and have rescinded plans for the Neptune.

SO much for buying upgradable units.

+1 Spot on.
It's too late now unless they sell for a couple of hundred.

I must say, KNC miner is a professional company.  That is refreshing after my dealings with Avalon pricks, AsicMiner and BFL, I can say that KNC is like any other big box stores.

I asked for a refund for my Neptune order (first non-customer batch), got an email the same day, the wire was processed in 2 business days, I got my money today.

I was very surprised.  I expected lies, excuses etc. Got none of that. Was it because they are Europeans? Nah?  They are just a bunch of honest, professional guys.

Way to go KNC!!!

You can easily add two more plugs to your controller with basic soldering skills.

I hope to be making a video next week to show how its done.



Definitely donating your way if u do this.  Thx.

this would be amazing!

yeah people have done it and people have messed it up....get a buddy that does electronic repair and such might have a good shot thou

myself or the people I know...or let the local electronics geek know I have a bitcoin miner at the local computer place

er not so much

Searing

would be cool to see how it is done...

man you have to move a lot of mountains around here to get a miner.solder ports on the board on your Jupiter (gasp)

actually get them to ship a module that works (oct nov) who knows?

.
i assume the other mnfg companies will sell product at reduced prices as they go along screw difficulty or beyond...ramp up mr. fords assembly line and let her rip... (ex bfl 65mm thru tiger direct no roi).... but these dang

'ethical' Swedish folk ..er not so much

well I guess there have to be some asic miner adults in the room to stop us from eating all the 'candy'...or blowing up the choo choo

dang it
