What is the actual hash rate of these devices when you account for errors?

Post a copy of the whole bertmod stats. You definitely have a problem with those chips.

Anyone else seeing 630gh on the new Jupiters? Some readings on the first module seem off.

Oregon, USA. Cheap power, no sales tax.
I have no idea what the deal would be, I'd only do it if I could put some serious hardware into it. I pay a lot for this place and I just want to do something useful with my extra space.

What would people think is fair compensation to host something like the neptunes. I can host a LOT of them, already wired up with a massive power feed in a secure, unmarked industrial building. I think it would be a fun experience, plus if there were enough of them we could run a private pool with rules and settings optimized perfectly. I'm just wondering if it would be worth it. I see the jankiest schemes here, "pay me xxx dollars for an imaginary share of your imaginary neptune and I'll pretend I'm gonna give you money"  and people are paying. What would they do for an honest big host situation?  

Which country you based in? I might be interested depending on the deal.

What do you think will be higher at the time Neptune starts shipping - its hashrate or number of pages this topic has  Grin

I guess the hashrate will be 4,000GH/s and the number of pages will be 3500

And the battery system?

Bad investment I think... Unless it is grid-tied with a Feed In Tariff to offset -- but even then... waste-o-money!

Dunno its less than the cost of one Neptune Cheesy

Miner arrives... About week of March 5th -- you will probably not get your 15BTC returned....

They're saying Q1/Q2 delivery. That means end of Q2 delivery at best. Recalculate with a June delivery date.

People want to know if a Neptune will pay out...

Here is an estimate based on the following...

A $12,995 Neptune with an all in landed cost of $16,000 including any required electrical work -- but probably not a UPS.

AT today's value of Bitcoins ($1020 per BTC) let's assume it takes about 16 coins...

Average difficulty increase of 25% per jump

Miner arrives... About week of March 22 -- 26th -- you will probably not get your 16BTC returned....

Miner arrives about March 5-12 -- you probably get your 16BTC back plus one -- maybe a few more.

Assume that the difficulty is only a 20% average (no worse than) increase per jump. As long as you get your miner by end of April 2014. You will get your investment of 15 Coins plus one -- maybe two by Mid November of 2014.



Assume that the difficulty is only a 15% average/typical (no worse than) increase per jump.
You will get your investment of 15 Coins plus one -- back if you get delivery before early July 2014.


Any improvement in those conditions means that you make a very considerable profit in bit coins.

The overwhelming factor is the difficulty increase -- vs the original Bitcoin investment -- any other discussion about any other factor is pointless.

It's just the math.

Now --as to the value of bitcoin  -- that is an entirely different discussion. It is of course possible to pay out the Dollar value if Bitcoin soars in value -- say $2000 (USD) Plus.

Either scenario of low difficulty jumps or bitcoin at least doubling should satisy anyone who buys a Neptune and gets pre July 2014 delivery.

Anything less than the above makes it a very high risk investment -- worse than Junior Mining.

Again -- for coin return -- it's just math and difficulty increase.

For dollar return it's bitcoin appreciation against the $USD and the Euro.

***************************
To be absolutely clear -- if difficulty is typically 25% over the next while -- you need to get your miner before the first week of April 2014 or you do not get your BTC returned -- even if you make real dollars.

To be absolutely clear -- if difficulty is typically 20% over the next while -- you need to get your miner by the last week of April 2014 or you do not get your BTC returned -- even if you make real dollars.
**********************************



...and that's the way it is. Take it or leave it....

This was done in the time since my last post -- it's not tough to figure it out.

Avenger...
I love you too....sweetie....    I sense a bit of jealousy and resentment.
Fact is... those who got KNC Equipment did well, and continue to do so.
You should have got one... admit it.
Your bashing is like a fart in the wind....   insignificant.
Guess you can't tell us where the asic deals recommended by Avenger are?

I'm still down about 31 BTC on my Saturn/now Jupiter miner received in October, it's mining great, but I am not sure if it will pay for itself even in BTC?

I do admit that the November batch will pay for itself easily, even in BTC, but for us October BTC purchasers, this is not the case.


If you don't mind me asking....
How did you end up paying 31 BTC for a saturn, and 2 boards?
I'm scratching my head on that one...

same here I'm scratching my head.
how did that happened?

but the power consuption is unclear as of now. 2500W or 3000W or 3500W?

Use 3000 Watts as the benchmark or nominal value.

Who cares, it's printing money  Grin
I am renting a flat and can't keep them at home especially in the summer, so will be looking to host them someplace else.
A small office space in a big building might be an option, but it is not very secure. My other option is anotherhost.

they might be not happy with such device to house but you have to check with them together.

It's too early. I am sure they will come up with a hosting plan once we are at least 1 month close to delivery.
Iceland might be a good option for housing.  Wink
