KNC should also get into other great bitcoin tech for when miner sales start to decline.

have a look at this from BFL
http://www.butterflylabs.com/bitcoin-hardware-wallet/  I like it... and want one of course, but from BFL I'll have to wait and see

or what about KNC bitcoin vending machines or ATM's

Your numbers are off, so don't exaggerate.

My November Jupes use 875W each and hash at about 675 GH.

My Ants use ~380W each and hash at about 190GH, so the power usage differential is not as bad as you made it out to be.

There is no way 3 Ants use 1500W unless you have a really crappy power supply. They use more like 1200W at the wall.

Ants use about 2W/GH at the wall. November Jupiters use about 1.3W/GH at the wall.

Antminer performance is terrible in comparison though, I've been selling all my antminers to by second hand October batch machines, which seems to be the right choice with only upgrade boards coming ahead.



1 x jupeter OC = 640GH for 750w (quiet, cool and neat)
3 x Ants OC = 600GH for 1500w+ (noise, hot and messy)

$2 in parts, a little soldering skills....

Wow, how are they significantly increasing their hash rate at the end of January? HashLast has stated Jan 28th for their revised^10 timeline, or did they manage to get the remaining controller boards?

I've got several of the antminers, they're actually quite nice. I'm running 2 per 860W Seasonic (That I bought for Nov jupiters) Running strong and running quiet

Orama did mention that it's all coming down to low cost power and he mentioned Iceland, which is where Cloud Hashing are based.

My guess is knc, byteminer and cloud hashing are partnering up. You heard it here first!

This is a very good clue my guess is correct:

So it's probably going to be knc, not hashfast or cointerra, that make our jupiters worthless in a week or two. Oh the irony!

I wanted clarification from a company rep before I make a decision on what to do. I ask questions here for others benefit as well just not my own. KnC sjipped close to their tarvet last time so i sort of assumed they might do it this time too,but that is not the case. you are right.... these guys are just the same as the others now.

Yeah, no more controller cards because Sam sold them all to his brother.  This explains their shifty behavior.  It didn't make sense that they were willing to let their customers go to their competitors but now it does.  They are moving into cloud-hashing with Sam's brother and just like CEX.io.  I think O'rama mentioned something about submersion cooling in his interview at CES that now makes more sense.

My prediction is Neptune will be their last consumer device and they are only offering it to pay for the development cost of 20nm.  Once they have the masks, they will no longer sell to consumers and likely only sell to Byteminer.

dude, you are no noob as far as i know. you were here in this thread at least since last august so you should fckn know by now that any asic-vendor-delivery date will always be at the very end of the expected timeline.
so that leads us to neptunes being delivered maybe in june or (as delays are no stranger to this business) even july for batch#1.

you, as a "veteran" should know this by now.

P.S. knc are getting into something else - http://www.byteminr.com/news/2014/1/14/the-quiet-before-the-storm

I'm not being vague.

I've just got back to Stockholm and got you an update immediately, as promised. The first day I'm back.

Your freaking out about the Neptune design and it's exactly where it needs to be.

It's been worked on throughout Christmas. They have a working FPGA copy. That's quite significant progress as is. 20nm is absolute breakneck cutting edge tech and they don't want to screw the design up. They started just before Christmas and they are already at this stage. Would I call it preliminary design? yes I would. I would call everything before RTL submission that. Would you rather I lie? You claim I'm being vague and I'm actually being very specific. I've told you precisely where we are at without giving away anything of significant competitive sensitivity. I could be vague and just say it's all on track and you'd be none the wiser. Where do you expect them to be at this stage after working solidly through Christmas?! Designs aren't just pulled out of hats and components need to be sourced in volume with short lead times and guess what a lot of those guys take Christmas off. Rest assured what needs to be done is being done and the Q1/Q2 delivery estimation is there to give us the breathing space to do it professionally and to a level of competency that we believe is achievable.

Also first thing I was told on arrival was they sold out of Neptunes the night before. Do not shoot the messenger. If Andreas/Sam are going to add to the stock overnight between Friday/Saturday - nothing to do with me, but I'd be surprised if they did as they gave no impression they would and I was at the office later than they were.

So, Q1 which ends March 31 = 72 days is not going to happen, right? Is April a possibility now or are we looking at May? I feel like a complete rube at this point.
