2 Jupiters here.  First received Oct. 14th, 2nd on 17th.  Both in afternoon.  Mined 24BTC so far.

Nice, how much did you pay both for?

Are you guys leaving the default settings on the genesis block calculator again?  130% per month growth - sure, that sustainable forever, no problem.

Actually, 130% is too low, increasing it to 150% would be safer.
You want to be safe or accurate? One the one hand you do want to avoid making a foolish investment, but on the other hand you don't want to be too conservative in your calculations that you end up never buying a miner even when doing so could have made you a profit.

Yeah 20$ per GH is way too expensive now, you would not make it back with the current diff changes.

in our case the magic number is also 55 btc since at time of purchase of our jupiters bitcoin was at 100,- € and price tag was 5500,- €. interesting to read how much other day 1 owners have mined in the first few days, since knc hosting had a bad start.

we are happy with our purchase.
If I recall correctly the pre-orders had a week to pay to remain in queue for Day1 delivery.  During that week the BTC cost for a Jupiter fluctuated between 55-65 (not including VAT or other costs).  I personally spent 59 BTC and remember being glad I didn't buy a day or 2 before as the cost was a few BTC higher.

I'm fairly certain the customers that will win out the best were the ones that paid 55BTC, mined for a week or 2, then sold the machine for a decent price.

Agreed -  Have you checked out ebay?  Man, the prices for used miners are off the hook.  People are not doing their calculations correctly...they are over paying per GHS.  BFL 60 GHS are going for 1300 - 1450 USD that's 21.7++ per GHS... that doesn't even make sense when you can buy it for .09 BTC  per GHS or under $20 per GHs on
Yeah $20+ per GH is pretty nuts.  Especially so for a BFL unit which at this point isn't even close to the best efficiency any more.

$20 is pretty expensive right now in the market, ASIC is going way cheaper...

Day 1 Jupiter received on October 7th.  (Purchased for $7k)  Mined for 11 days @ 525 Ghs and then sold on Ebay (local pickup) for $8600.   

Jupiters are the best out there and I'm very happy with KNC.  (I have two additional Jupiters hosted by KNC which I'll let ride for 7 months!)



Jealous, I don't understand why people buy it from you for $8600...

I made also 25,7 BTC since 4th of October(day1) with my Jupiter.

How much did you pay for it?

6995.-$ but i sold 22BTC on 210$, so im almost break even.

You're almost break even in dollars, but nowhere close to break even if you had bought btc with that 6995.
That is to say you could have bought about 60 btc with that $6995 then sold about 30 of them at 210 and recouped your original investment (and been ahead 30 btc). So, that should be your reference point for break-even.

ROI should be measured in terms of bitcoins that would have been needed at the time of purchase (~60) and how many bitcoins you have generated. So, it sounds like you're not even halfway there.

Well he still have like few more months to mine before difficulty go insanely high. He might roi.

In case you want to hear how the "Day 2" Jupiter's are doing:

First Jupiter:
Shipped from Sweden Thursday October 10th @ 3:30 am
Received (West Coast U.S.) Monday October 14th @ 3:45 pm
I was out of town, didn't get it hashing until Wednesday morning October 16th.

Second Jupiter:
Shipped from Sweden Monday October 14th @ 8 am
Received (West Coast U.S.) Thursday October 17th @ 4:30 pm
Starting hashing the same day it was received (Thursday evening).

Mining on the Bitminter pool.

So far, for the two Jupiter's combined, I've only received 17.5 BTC total.

At current prices, I've only made back about 22% of the purchase price (not counting power supply cost, electricity cost, shipping).

(Currently using the 0.97 firmware getting about 540 GH/s on each.)

No way it will ROI... Nothing sold these days seems to.

Hardly ROI, only the first few days of the KNC shipment would ROI..

your cheques are in the mail :-)
