When my October arrived was too eager to get it working as it one of the first, peeked in the vents hard to see but looked ok, gave it a shake no rattle turned it on.

A week later when the case came off, 2 fans wedged in the corner

Damn lulz

After 500 posts about loose heatsink fans?   Hah!
Lookster peeps....open the doggone case when it arrives!

Yeah I opened up my 2nd unit to verify everything was secure after I discovered the lose fan in my first unit.

Anyone know what the latest order number is to get a tracking code.

interesting question that is worth a bump.

No lose fans on my Nov order that arrived today! Also, nice heavy cardboard box, no more smashed up packaging

Not to mention to check for plastic under the radiator stopping it cooling properly.

All oos too - I was wondering if pending bank transfers would go through, they clarified that in this recent news post:

Hi,
 
The initial batch of Neptune boxes has now been sold. We have however kept a few back for people paying with bank transfers.
 
All bank transfers that were initiated before 11:00am CET this morning will be honored. If your order has been cancelled and you have already transfered funds it will be marked as paid when the funds reach our accounts. But as of now do not initiate any more transfers.
 
We will soon release the Neptune product again and everyone will be able to purchase this time not just previous customers.
 
Thank you again for your support

this was a rude awakening was just gonna pull the trigger on 2 more for my brothers who want in

(dilemma brothers ask thanksgiving day...."whats new" er you DON'T tell them you make a crap load of at least in theory $$$ with btc coin...and BTC goes to the moon..er you get beat up....you tell them of course and ..they want in......2nd dilemma march 2014 BTC is at 250 usd ...if you did not tell them about bitcoin ..get beat up...if they get in and lose their ass .....get beat up...there is no winning with brothers in this situation

however ....if you can get only 1 unit ...cause I got on early am and was p/o'd I missed the window... yeah you guessed it 3 way split of the one neptuene I managed to snag (should have been a single child damn) oh well 1/3 the risk ...glad I did not pay in BTC last week that was like 4 coin diff with xfer to usd from today (assuming you beat the deadline)

Looks like Cointerra might be late - https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=269093.msg3772940#msg3772940 - meanwhile Hashfast are still late and BFL are just being BFL plus the Bitfury chips sold out didn't they.  Maybe the Neptunes will ship before the other major 28nm manufacturers ship en masse?  I've not read much on ASICminer tho?

[OmegaNemesis28]

Shoot! Neptune sold out? I never got to initiate my bank wire due to silly holiday rush.

Your link provides no evidence that cointerra will be late, just that their customer support is at least as poor as almost any bitcoin related company. Tape out was late though, so its certainly possible they wont hit december, but from there to being beaten by KnC's 20nm product is quite a stretch. Same actually goes for HF, but I'll grant you BFL .

BTW, I want to go on record predicting KnC will turn in to another Avalon, with general praise for their first batch/gen being roughly on time and more profitable than hoped for, yet failing to deliver on the next batch/gen in time for any chance of profit. The fact they again take preorders when they couldnt possibly need the money, for a product based on a technology node no one else has shipping products for, Im not even aware of any announced products (not just bitcoin, I mean any asic) , should make you think twice. Im not saying 20nm isnt possible, it certainly is, but its not a mature, tested and well understood process like 28nm and I would take any timetable with a bucket of salt. Its not gonna happen in Q1 and most likely not before the end of Q2. And it wont be profitable (btc denominated).

ditto sat down to order and blam...so sorry all gone

again with the china site in Chinese language they have...they probably will sell out the 2nd batch in 1 hour

(I'm not kidding there are a lot of people over there who are probably hanging on every word)

I mean KNC sold out in what 72hrs from just PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS whats gonna happen when you make a better mousetrap and the world shows up

(at least it will be a fair fight giant web server crashes)

Got my 2 November Jupiters and powered them up with Seasonic 1250W X series PSUs. Setup was unbelievably easy - I was expecting a lot of problems based on what I've been reading on this thread, so it was a pleasant surprise.

They get 680 and 690 GH/s on firmware 0.99-E while drawing 870 Watts each at the wall. I am quite satisfied with the this and won't bother messing around trying to tune them for a few extra GH/s. I'm just going stuff these two boxes in the basement and forget about them until next year when my Neptunes arrive to take their place.

Don't tell them.  I regret telling a co-worker with a giant fucking ego.

[fubly]

All,
Just a quick note to say that the factory started producing the November boxes today and 100 have already left via UPS.
We will ramp up production over night and over the next few days. We aim to have all the November boxes shipped before the end of the month.
Thanks
KnC Team

I think they did an very good job for now!!!


But what happen with the orders which changed from "in progress" back to paid.

O´rama let us know what happend, please.

Thanks a lot.

why?  just rub his face into it and tell him he better go buy some HashCraps and ConTerras

or introduce him to Puppet and he will motherly tell him that thou shalt never ROI with miners

Yeah I'm very upset. We were talking one day last week about how awesome the next KNC miners will be but doubted anything will come out till late december. The next day, orders are up for neptune. I can't do wire transfers from my savings account so I had to quickly move funds to checking. 10 grand doesn't move fast. Especially with Thanksgiving being stuck right in the middle.
Terrible timing. They didn't give many a chance. even if I were to pay in BTC, I don't have 10 grand ready at fire haha

[edgar]

November tracking numbers?

November deliveries?
