When calculating, is there anything which shows...
Mine now, cash-in 1 year from now, at the 10x value of the coin? Because that is a major speculation that matters more.
If you MINE now, and CASH-OUT now... You will be tooth and nail on profit.
However...
If you earn 1BTC this month, and 0.9BTC next month, and 0.4BTC... etc... down to 0.01BTC a year later...
If cashed-out at the time you made them, they would be $600, $300, $150, $20, $1... etc...
If cashed-out a year later, or at another "spike", it is as if you made $1200 the whole time, for every coin. Thus, the NOW price is useless, without offering the... "What if I held until ____ date".
Eg, I mined GENERIC-COIN all summer. Only got about 5000 and then the price and diff dropped. I made 50000 in a month. When BTC rose, so did the other coin. When I cashed-out, all those coins had the same "NOW" value of "NOW", not yesterday, and the day before, and the week before...
In any event, buying coins directly, rewarded greater returns than mining. No matter which way I did the math in the end. Mining also depletes the value, where as, purchasing coins adds instant value. (Which is appropriate, since mining the coin is the initial "loss" which is where all coins get the starting "value".)
Trust me, any of the new machines will be worth the investment. Not the best investment option, but they will be worth the investment.

I don't buy much into the calcs for one huge reason. They don't include delivery impact on hashrate diminishing over time, which is inevitable. A simple %increase per diff isn't enough to even come close. Every time a batch of asics hits the cloud, it becomes that much harder to make the same impact. No Calc I've seen so far accounts for that. It's not just the diff-rate compounding with every single diffchange, but the inability to make the same impact on the diff with another delivery is compounding as well.
Did you even look at the calc that I posted? It uses a decreasing exponential, specifically becau like you said, it will get harder to make the same impact. I'd love to increase my wallet size from mining. But I'm sorry, the hardware being offered today just isn't going to do that.
why you are so blind with knc
price increased is your lucky
because saturn oct machine cost +/- 3000€ and i only can get max 15 BTC
so if price is 100€ = 1500 € where is ROI
now if you pay with bitcoins this machine crap! you lost your money
We are here to discuss and we have to reflect on the good things and bad
not only good things
yes kncminer change world mining but we must see all points
and already see man buy 100 units kncminer
already other man buy room datacenter with blades in watercool
I don't mean to be negative
but mining is out of control
because the own companies like kncminer
just see money our money
There is no need to be blind

I realise that English is your second language and I agree with you. KNC are full of shit, miner protection policy my arse, where is a miner protection policy to protect us from them, they are dumping hashrates on the market without a care. They dont give a shit about bitcoin, thats why they cash out all btc to fiat.
If you are supporting someone(Avenger) who chastises delivery of much needed information being delivered to the community, then you are simply an idiot.
This thread shall not contain any argumentation! Lets all just call names like our great leader Phoenix has taught us since the day one.why, do you disagree with what I said?
You think we should Jump Orama's ass every time he's nice enough to share important information? Information that makes us BTC?? Orama announces A few keystrokes that saves 10% hw errors on eligius... now all of a sudden were owed an apology for the code?
are you serious?
It's funny, but pretty much everyone who can't bear to look at the facts I present here and who is nasty towards me has pre-ordered a knobtune. Or seven.
How did they come to this excellent business decision? I'd say, they stuck their finger up their butt and took a sniff. If it stunk hard enough, they decided to pre-order a neptune.
Last week I challenged anyone who pre-ordered a knobtune to show me their numbers, their data, their projections, based on realistic difficulty, on why this was a sound investment? You know, some FACTS.
No takers. It's obvious most people gambled and ordered blindly, based on the faulty image of knc being a "good" company.
KNC have fucked up multiple times, but as they never apologise or accept any responsibility, people seem to brain wash themselves into thinking knc are great. My experience is a constant reminder they aren't. And people are so fucked in the head they try to tell ME what I recieved and how much it was hashing! What kind of insane behaviour is that? Why do they need to maintain their delusions so strongly?
I don't think people like The Avenger messing with their pre-concieved images of KNC. KNC is the perfect girlfriend that can do no wrong. Until you walk into a room one day and find her sucking some other guys ####
It'll be that kind of day many of you see how fucked over and misled you've been.
So every time I criticise knc, point out the unsavoury things they've done, it fucks with people's picture of knc as a "good" company. It makes them question if knc are actually "good". And also, it reminds them and makes them question why they made their "investment" on NO FACTS. Just pure, plain, stupid gambling.
It get's so bad in people's brain they argue with cold, hard facts. They refuse to see the facts. They lash out and call people liars. Anything to maintain the image that knc is "good". KNC have to be good or else my decision to buy was flawed. The decision to invest everything and buy several knobtunes - the weight of delusion must be staggering for those people. Don't make me see that Avenger. Don't. You bastard.
I've been proven right before and I will be again. I'm confident, based on past performance and the attitude of greed and feeling no obligations towards their customers that is now plainly obvious, that this time round KNC's burning of it's customers is going to be epic. They get to spend your money, so it will be you that gets burned.
All the clues are their, the cracks in the foundation.
Latest newsletter, more or less the day hashfast reveals 500+GH/s boards:
Looks like knc have totally lost faith in their own product, when they can't let their so-called engineering speak for itself anymore. They've had to resort to what they said they wouldn't to. To justify doing what they said they wouldn't do! Bad omens.
KNC got lucky with timing. KNC got lucky with it's competition fucking up. KNC got lucky with bitcointalk being off-line for 10 days while they were flailing around trying to ship their first jupiturds. KNC got lucky with BTC going to $1300 around the time they wanted to take next pre-order. But their luck will run out, eventually. I get a sense it's already happened. They dropped a log in their pants last week and that was when I think it was all lost. Once belief is gone, so is luck.
I can't wait for the New Year! A Jupiter is due to mine about 2BTC in this difficulty period. This will be obliterated once all these other companies start to ship in January, which they surely will do. That is a FACT. I'd guesstimate in about 3 or 4 difficulty jumps, it's totally game over for Jupiturds. End of January ish.
I'll keep this crock of shit knc hardware I got running until then. But it will give me great pleasure to smash it to shit, for the 70-80 hours of my life I've spent doctoring this lame beta hardware I paid a premium for.
Good luck to the self deluded. But don't say you weren't warned.
Merry Xmas and a Hashing New Year!

Constant sellouts of product, and triple-value resales totally say your opinion is left wing,
countless testimony in here as well....
It's obvious now your mission is to damage the KNC customer base with speculations you call fact
Get a grip.
Dude, I think you need to stop the marketing and cheerleading of KNC. Are you the next shillorama?
Every calculator I've used has been wrong so far calculating anything more than a diff or two....
and the returns have always been much more than expected thus far, more than the so-called calculators,
What makes you say that? Scrolling back to june in this thread, I see people used 25% growth per difficulty adjustment as a guideline:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2451810
If that had panned out, we would be around 700M difficulty today. Not a bad estimate, but the reality is nearly 2x higher, and thats despite all the delays from KnC's competitors.
FWIW, I stumbled upon this post, from you:
Quote
If we apply that to the next 40 days, the diff would only be around 47 mil in the beginning of September, and low 70's in December,
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2799559You did say it was a best case scenario, maybe your worst case scenario was spot on, but in reality difficulty is still almost 20x higher.
The one thing few people did correctly predict was the astronomical rise in BTC price, leading to a distorted perception of profitability. Difficulty growth so far has been pretty much exactly where most people expected it to be, not far from where most calculators that used exponential extrapolation predicted. Betting that this trend will break in the next few months, when over 10 vendors start shipping their next generation miners, not something I would do.

We were hearing People chirp about ten billoin diff by Christmas just three months ago
Every calculator I've used has been wrong so far calculating anything more than a diff or two....
and the returns have always been much more than expected thus far, more than the so-called calculators, more than any of my or Pete's projections, including our "best case scenarios", So. I'm rolling the dice, despite all the endless calcs, because we heard all this before, at every point in the process, yet the gains keep coming. If you or anyone in here feels their customer appreciation pre-order was a bad investment, I'm sure there's at least a thousand buyers interested.
I don't buy much into the calcs for one huge reason. They don't include delivery impact on hashrate diminishing over time, which is inevitable. A simple %increase per diff isn't enough to even come close. Every time a batch of asics hits the cloud, it becomes that much harder to make the same impact.

It's not just the diff-rate compounding with every single diffchange, but the inability to make the same impact on the diff with another delivery is compounding as well.
Nobody knows where the price of btc will be at that time either... it's a pure guess. Let's just hope its high!

Before I ordered my jupiters EVERYONE was swearing up and down the page that you couldn't ROI any asic hardware anymore. I did a lot more than that in days. Pfft on your calculations.

A calculator is only as good as its inputs. 4 months ago I said we could break 1B difficulty by the end of the year. We did it in mid-December. Difficulty is going to be very very high by the time Neptunes are delivered. You can count on that.
I hope it's not quite that bad, I've become accustomed to earning at least 1 per week, just before my first avalon arrived, I was all the way down to .1 per day. I remember how that feels, I don't wish to return to those lows. That is why I dropped 11 on the chance...
BTW even at a ridiculous 70 btc my Jupiter is very slowly approaching 50 btc paid back! which is much better that I had thought it would do. I think most people that post what the difficulty will be at some timeframe in the future are not miners. When you run a mine, you are going off actual data, not calculators.

At 20% (and lower) per adjustment, here's a conservative estimate:

Neptunes are going to be too late to make a decent payout.
WTF?
KNC owes NOBODY an apology over the doggone code. I's called "development." Especially since you got MORE hashrate than u paid for.
Would you like to wait for your miner 'till the code is done being tweaked?
O'rama don't sweat them... Peeps with half a noodle in their head know, and appreciate....

Exactly, miners shouldn't be thinking in dollars anyways.
I paid 11 btc for mine and they say it's gonna do 3 TH
They said the last one would do 400, mine does 560.
I think it was a good bet.

We are all getting ahead of the time here. Neptune information or even a peep about a Neptune won't be heard for at least several months. I know it sucks to be out such a lot of money, then see bitcoin tank, then see the diff rise upon the sky, it just doesn't look good. KNC only advertised the Neptune at this time with a 6 MONTH delivery window because they did not want us to pre-order from any other company. Trust me, they haven't even started working on the Netpune in any fashion at all. After the New Years. And then 4 or 5 months you may see some Neptune info. They'll increase the power requirements so everyone will have to go out and get commercial electrical panels installed in their home and that's not cheap. Once you step on that commercial level, that's when the fun bitcoin mining days are over. It was fun while it lasted and I'll squeeze every dollar out ouf my October Jupiter.
Good luck and happy holidays!

Obviously, if the value of bitcoin skyrocketed, one would have done better by simply buying and holding. If I knew the future and knew that bitcoin would significantly increase in value, I would buy and hold.
I suppose significantly is the key word there. It's definitely going to rise over time. No surefire way to know how much time or value. B&H is one solid thing to do with these coins, in addition to mining.
With these numbers, I expect a Neptune to generate 7.5 BTC before it stops being profitable. I had no illusions about receiving more BTC than the ~12/each I spent. And yet I still bought three.
Finally, one of only a couple of us who is making a realistic projection. Mine was 4-6 with an upper of 12 depending on factors.
All I could do was shake my head in disbelief at the folks who bought Neptunes thinking they would crank out like 50 coins.
Realistic?
8 billion jump in one change in July?
57266 TH/s added to the network in a 10-12 days period?
That's 10K Neptunes at 5TH/s.
2,400 neptunes went to individuals. Who knows what deals KNC has made with businesses.
Not to mention the hashrate other companies will likely have online by then. I'm not claiming any specific difficulty, but none of this is outside the mathematical realm of possibility. Cointerra, when they ever ship, are going to ship a shite-ton of hash. More orders than KNC took in, ever.

None of the other companies have shipped big power products yet, they all flounder about trying to make stuff work. While I believe the difficulty will grow, it can't be as exponential as when KNC blew the market up shipping thousands of jupiters. What company is going to be shipping PHs per week to make those numbers happen?
Here's my prediction for Neptune production.

All 1200 Neptunes were sold out.
KNC had also updated us that they will also sell 28nm units (Jupiters?).
I hope this time it's not a preorder, with 2 months delivery time..
