hw errors eligius continues same
after few hours

i continue dont know why knc ask psu 1200W if only max 700w

Eligius blows. Pay the fee and use The Guild. Nothing but bliss and payouts like clock work.

Why does Eligius blow? Just wondering its been better then the guild for me.

Because I think the payout system there blows and the stats/info you get back aren't nearly as informative as The Guild's.  I also like the manual payout feature which Eligius does not have. I've had good hash rate, but trying to get paid was another issue. So I went to the Guild and been paying fees ever since. Their dashboard and informative charts are at my finger tips and very clean and easily read.

Suckers everywhere,

Pay 3% for pretty colors and "quicker payouts" because you don't know how to use the "My Eligius" Features.

People are trying to maximize their money, if I had to pay a 3% fee I would have paid BTC Guild BTC16, I hardly believe their stats and manual payout feature is worth that.

Different Strokes for Different Folks!

When people are so hooked and loyal to a pool having stats doesn't matter anyway, cause they are going to stay there no matter what. Bad stats or good stats. I'll gladly pay for a more refined look and better looking dashboard. I'm sorry but the Eligius site looks like a teenager wrote the code and really needs a big overhaul in my opinion. And trust me, soon as the operator spends more time and actually doing some updates he'll charge a fee. Features? Yea, I've seen them....they aren't must to be desired. I guess you think the thousands that pool there are all suckers, right and the Eligius pool is for the "techie" or "nerds" only that only know how to use the site. Such typical answers to an opinion.

For me they are too big, Eligius is a good balance between big enough to work through the blocks quickly but not too big that they look like becoming a threat to the network.
Ghash.IO with 34% and BTC Guild with 23% are getting on the large size for me. https://blockchain.info/pools

Eligius has given great performance and is responsive to their users. The stats are fine and give enough information imho, I've used most of the pools from Slush to BTCG, not ghash, and was a BTCG member for a long time on GPU's, Erupters and BFL but since moving to KnC Eligius has done pretty good job, not perfect but none of them are.

PSU for Neptune:

30 % less power consumption, mean 0,7 Watt per GigaHash/s, mean 3000 * 0,7 = 2100 Watt for one Neptune !

2 x PSU or how will we power on the neptune?

And yes, it is now clear like mud!

who knows.

maybe a PSU will be included or, more likely, they'll give you a pointer on what upo need to buy.

Exactly... we could end up anywhere wattage wise,  but If I was to guess...   3Th/s was a minimum number, which means we could indeed be in excess of 3000 watts, if the Neptune is like 4.25Th/s or above.. which is likely...
But I was indeed thinking for that price, PSU's would indeed be included... especially after the fiasco's dealing with PSU branding & specs....
Built in wi-fi wouldn't hurt either....

hmm did that 3rd batch allready sell out?

FTFY

I'd say coffee too, but it should run hot enough to operate a percolator

sorry off topic...

Hey Phoenix1969

we both got a nice Christmas gift.. we both graduated to senior members at same time  

congratulations and Merry Christmas to you and everyone here  

somewhat off topic but how exactly does that work?...time since you first made an account?

I'm sure engineering would like nothing better to design their own power supply into the Neptune instead of contending with the vagaries of all manufacturers and models.

No. I still can put 999 in the shopping cart 

[flexgroo]

hmm ok thanks, im still trying to figure out if i want to get one, seem it will be a fun hobby mining

[Epoch]

The economics of mining have changed since the $10k Batch 1 and $13k Batch 2 days: today's BTC exchange rate isn't what it used to be just a few weeks ago. I don't expect the current Neptune batch to sell out quickly. And perhaps it won't sell out at all. 15 BTC for a Q2 3TH unit is quite the leap of faith.

Hi guys!

My dad it's going to Stockholm the next January 9 for a business trip. I convinced him to visit the KNC offices but of course I need to ask someone here if he can go there just to get one or two of those decals and shirts   .

We own a Nov Jupiter and we already pre-ordered a  Neptune from the pre-owners batch.

Thanks in advance!

[Paladin69]

Haven't been around for a while.  So is it confirmed that the Neptune is Q2 now?

[arlekyn13]

Haven't been around for a while.  So is it confirmed that the Neptune is Q2 now?

At least the last batch that is selling now. Which would be batch 3 (?) and it's supposed to be delivered 6-8 weeks after batch 1.

It's the product line itself, not just batch 3.

[Kaliecious]

Hi Orama,

can you give me and all others here an clear answer what happens with second batch?

Is it an marketing trick or what? Will KNC deliver the 13K Neptune on same time like the 10K ones?
Why made KNC such marketing tricks?
 
I orderd form second batch 11 Neptune for 13K each, can I switch my orders to 14 Neptune for 10k?

Other´s want also an absolute clear answer! Every time when we talk here about the diff you came and
discuss with us also on questions about jupiter firmware, do you have an filter for qustions like these
here.

Also I send the money for the first batch in the wright time, but my money comes back with no chance
to get one of these. I was sending KNC my official accountstatements, but I got only the standard answers.


I´m absolutely confused, about the new KNC marketing tricks.

merry christmas to all out there

You are confused.....
No trick to it.....
Neptune Batch 1   (overall batch 4)customer appreciation batch q1/q2          10k
Neptune batch 2 (Gen public batch to be delivered 2 weeks after batch 1)    13k
Gen public batch 2 (neptune batch 3, overall batch 7!)  delivered...q2           10k
Clear as mud now?   

11, I hope you got someone hosting those for you. there is no way home service could support those not unless its 400amp and you don't plan on running anything else in your house.

i was looking at an ebay auction of a jupiter, and it showed a picture of the laptop screen and it showed his hashrate and then i noticed something on the right side 

HW status then it had ACIS 1,2,3,4,5,6 but 2 are empty, is there a way to get the 2 empty slots filled to get more hashrate? i mean does knc sell them or is it possible?

Neptune Second Batch
41

Neptune is our first 20nm product and will be shipping in Q2 of 2014. This order is for the second batch which will leave about one month after the first batch

The stats and performance that we can release today are

    Minimum 3000GH/s of hashing speed that 3TH Over 5 times the speed of our first Jupiter release
       (we reserve the right to increase this as we get closer to shipment)
    A 30% reduction in watts per GH
    Based on the existing Jupiter design (See photo, however this may change as development progresses)
    Shipment begins in Q2 of 2014


if see tell that ship will begin at Q2
so maybe the first batch will begin at Q1

they already sold a batch of expansions boards for october miners.

actually it was only for saturn/mercury owners that want to expand their machine.

In reality a lot of people with a jupiter have the luck of having the control board with 6 funtioning asics plug, and somene who hasn't this luck just mod the board to add two more plugs since it was the only missing piece and everything else were in place already. They just bought the plugs and then soldered it onto the controll board.

As result there're a few people running a miner with 6 asic modules.

Of course there were also people that buy the expansion boards to resell it on ebay

If memory serves it takes less than ten minutes to sell all the exapnskion boards, actually they've oversold due to sw glitch.

What do you think, is it enought power?
