Yes folks, the Neptine is a terrible deal.... Don't do it!
You are better off buying my October Jupiter for 12k right now,
and letting Me take the risk!......
Haha.. I wish, I would love to do it.. $6k maybe, but not 12 lol..
For Neptune, BTC would have to be worth more than $5kUSD in April for it to be a good venture. Of course, simply holding your 10BTC now would put you ahead of the game.
I would be willing for a $5k product, but this is just too much, especially when the competition is planning to sell 100gh for less than $100 by first quarter, using 28nm technology.
Seems like KNC is leaning hard toward datacenter models, leaving other companies to deal with the individuals.
what do you about 30 PH/s estimate for the end of March 2014?
I haven't made my final projections for March yet (not till December), but I wouldn't be surprised. Cointerra's smallest first batch was over 2PH, they opened up 3 more batches since then for even more (i think 5PH each?). If ONLY Cointerra ships, we'll be close to that projection.
As it is, KNC's 2nd gen are about to kick the neighborhood difficulty square in the nuts within days..
And for those of you comparing early batch Cointerra and HashFast to this deal... those buyer paid a hell of a lot more than 12 BTC for there orders.
No.. $5k for January/Feb/March batches..
And I can guarantee that you could sell your KNC preorder on eBay this moment for double what you just paid, lol.
Yup.. Mercury's are going for $6k right now
I think 30PH/s is a good estimate and it will be much harder to double the network at that point, so Neptune will mine at least 0.15 /day for a while, probably 90 days to ROI.
Hard to double the network? All they have to do is ship more units. Keep track with the preorders and shipped batches much lately? Sounds like you haven't.
