yeah just realized that like 5min away from when i posted it..no computer access till now

DUH!

yeah...that is plain as mud now that a 220v/20amp 2 slot breaker will be just fine per Neptune esp when I'm gonna play it safe and only have 1 on a seperate 220v line each....(i can figure out that much)

with a 100amp service and no load from 'central' air conditioning and no force air furnace (boiler very small pump) I should be just fine...and if not well....I can always use a "gas stove" to get over that hump..it MAY get iffy in that i probably will have to get a 220v window air conditioner unit to fight down these  2 beasts heat output in july/august...but if worse comes to worse i can stop using the stove/oven for 1 month and scrimp....should be doable.....(again the friendly gas company for stove/oven and clothes dryer would be happy to have me jump ship)....

thanks hopefully this is of help to anyone else as clueless as i am on all this

back to our regularly scheduled "speculation" on the perils of bitcoin and if knc will ship neptunes in time! (cue dramatic music....gets popcorn)

Yeah, Cointerra has a simple manual assembly for the chassis (as pictured with the 2 teenage looking folks) and automated for the PCB stuff. The chassis assembly has been going on all month from what I've heard, so once they verify the automated line is working fine (end of the week I suppose), they'll just be flipping a switch and letting all the batches ramp up.

As some would say, if all goes well, "shits about to get real".

Has anyone done the math on 10,000-25,000 units @ 1TH? What's that equate to? lol


Block Erupters have CE certification, as do BFL Jally's. I can see the stamp of approval on mine. I dunno about other equipment though, but I'm fairly sure most of it would be for import into the EU.

I find this particularly interesting, as some people in this thread once claimed it took weeks and would cause massive delays etc:


Will this be the first asic miner device that is actually CE certified?

CoinTerra begins FCC/CE certification this week, followed up by a test-run of its 2 production facilities at the end of this week where they'll do part of a batch and ship it. Full produciton/shipping ramp-up of all batches begins Monday the 27th: http://cointerra.com/update-prototype-testing-completed-certification-production-week/

So, there's plans to release upgrade modules (perhaps within the next month)?  

What I would like to know and echoing the same as other users previously asked:

• Will they be October (Rev 1) or November (Rev 2) Jupiter modules?
• Will they be compatible with both October & November Jupiters?
• If Rev 2 November modules are made available; how will we upgrade when there is only four of the 2x5 pin headers available on the controller board?
• Will an upgraded controller board with 6-8 2x5 pin headers, be made available as an additional purchase on top of the modules?

also, this site has a nice collection of practical examples of using and working with electricity if you scroll down to the links at the middle of the page.  It may not be the slickest site of best organized but I've found it to have much useful info.

20A 120V will give you 2400W, but a 20A 240V circuit will provide for 4800W - which based on KNC's initial guesstimate will be enough safety and headroom for powering 1 Neptune.  Even though a 120V 30A circuit might be enough wattage if it were me I'd rather go with the dual hot wiring of 240V when running a big load 24/7.

Might come in handy for those looking to tango with the panel. I just had a dedicated 30a breaker added for my miners.. followed the Death&Taxes Protocol in that thread.

still confused p/v=amps   2500w/120v=20.83..i was under the impression a neptune was 2500 to 3000 watts? so in that case i'd need a 30amp circuit right? or is 2500w too high?

Do keep in mind 220 (usa) is differend from 220(outside of the usa)

USA runs 60hz while the rest of the world runs 50hz 

IMO if you have only ordered 1, without intent to expand, you could just add a 20A 240V circuit to your panel for the Neptune.  If you need to free up 2 spots for the new breaker you can get tandem breakers for existing 120V 15A or 20A circuits. 

That being said now is the time to decide if you want to 'go big'.  Upgrading service (or adding another) can be fairly quick and cheap depending on the situation.  I recently had 2 additional separate 100A 240V 1P  services pulled into my office (northeast US) for $3400 including everything from the meters to the 8 outlets.  You won't know though until you get an electrician to give a look - and try to get one with experience with your town/city as each has their own rules and quirks.

you could get a gas stove and gas clothes dryer (probably you will get beaned on the head by the significant other)...just saying

ah but that is my question power/volts=amps so 2500/120v = 20.83 amps assuming 2500w unit (i've heard 3000w per neptune)..so....if that is the case I will need a 220v 30amp and corresponding wire etc (the same circuit as my elec stove/ove uses or my elec clothes dryer) ..that is unlikely to fly with a 100amp panel even though i only have for heat a boiler (small pump no big deal) and no house wide air conditioning etc....now if KNC comes back and says it is 2150w or some such I can do as you have above...but i'm thinking from what I heard ..if i remember correctly..in europe it is 240/30 amp so it is either a gas stove/oven and gas clothes dryer in my future ...or i get a 200amp at least (maybe bigger for kicks 250amp) panel and re-do feed to the house ..which  my guess would be 2k to 2.5k (i'm in town only way they turn power back on after such a project is if lincensed electrian sighns off he did the work and that the inspector also has signed off on it.takes some creative organization to get both the electrican and the insprector there the same day..and that assumes the inspector is happy....pain in the butt

anyway my concerns on clarification....would be nice to get this info ASAP so i can arrange now for an electrician in march sometime before they are fully backlogged

anyway if the above is incorrect on my calculations please clarify this post ...just me kibitzing on the above in that i have not chased any other info down yet the friend who had a service put in and his experiences on all this for a new service...also my math may be incorrect above too for all i know

Searing

is anything EVER verified here??

if you really want to know, wait for 6 months and you may see a tiny addendum somewhere with zero fanfare or explanation.

they will then use this future 'LATE' admission as 'PAST proof' that they only have our best interests at heart when they have another batch of shoddy beta rigs to offload to mugs like me

never fear - when you begin to doubt your logic/sanity, there will always be one or two sword-swallowing fannettes to keep you spirits up. (while they abandon all of their own crapola on other unsuspecting mugs... like me

Is this verified?

For the last time. THERE WILL BE NO JUPITERS FOR SALE. JUST BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS TO BELIEVE IT SO MUCH, ISN'T GOING TO MAKE IT COME TRUE.

Anyone would pre-ordered anything is screwed. With all this cloud hashing coming online, private THs/sec like me you'll end up receiving a miner that won't even be able to to reward you .01 BTC / day. Good luck boys....

They aren't going to cool it. They're going to make the customer's to that.

It´s Sam´s brother with the help of KnC miners that have put a lot of PH on the network, if you had not figured it out yet

Nepotism.

and HashFast is now shipping, so how about releasing some Jupiters to the people just as you guys said KnC?
