My big question would be: is KNC going to offer any kind of discounts for the late October delivery customers, the ones that suffered the big losses? I mean, I personally paid $131200 at current exchange rate for 1Th/s provided by an overheated Jupiter (running at full speed though under these high temps, otherwise all boards with die #0 issue) and 2 Saturns with all 4 boards with die #0 issue and forced to run under 0.98 because somehow 0.99 broke them and now I have one ASIC on each of them with all cores off on either 0.98.1 beta, 0.98.1 official or 0.99, but working just fine with 0.98 and dead die #0. My miners so far mined about $20500 at current exchange rate, so, yeah, ROI is out of question, just hoping to recover as much as possible from my investment and looking at KNC to see if they really care about their 1st batch customers as they proudly claimed once on their website!

Your big answer would be no I would imagine.

No details. Coming SoonTM

Wow!  20nm AND early 2014!

That MUST be the "incoming news" announcement from 'orama.

Bingo!

sorry for lame question: but how soon is soon ?  Tongue

All October customers will be given discount. Or that's what I hope for.

I'd just be happy they open up the orders to past customers first even without a discount.
You know if they opened it up to everyone they would sell out in 5 mins

Learn to hedge.  That is an 'all-in' mentality that will always leave you chasing bets

Perhaps it would of been better to buy one Jupiter and keep the rest in BTC?  But then you probably would of sold that BTC a couple months ago when it doubled and then said more coulda shouldas

There has been no delay from what I've seen I've only ever known Marcus state production commences mid November and he's the guy in charge of production.

Can you explain what you mean by "no delay"?

Nov 10th:

now to make the day perfect, knc should announce a sort of fidelity program for the early adopters and just after that release the tuning suite Tongue

tuning suite first sil vous plait


if the 4 chip 650Gh nov jups need 1200w

what will a 20nm '6 chip' neptune need & potentially hash at?

exciting!! and scary!!

20nm in 2014? Not only is that amazing, it's almost hard to believe. It would be beyond most current GPU OEM's specs.

GPUs are not selling for $5000/each
nor are they as simple as SHA-256 engines Tongue

It's already been proven that there's more than enough money our there to cover the NRE and much more on this project. Kind of exciting.



I wouldn't be surprised if they just taped out or are about to.

Bring the speculation on! Wink It would be awesome if that were the case, but we really have no idea...

I just saw that the controller as two 4 pin fan connectors for the box fans.
But the box fans have only 3 pin connectors.

On a computer motherboard, a 4 pin connector allows the computer to control the fan speed to reach a targeted temperature.
Could it be the same on a Jupiter/Saturn ?
If yes, what is the target temperature ?

Ah, I assumed the 4th pin was for speed feedback so as to allow a notification if the fan failed.
Quote
the fan is driven with a constant supply voltage; the speed control is performed by the fan based on the control signal.
