Was KNC offering a refund for first batch Neptunes?

I wonder if its best at this point to just get a refund.  Were they offering bitcoin refunds or USD.

Oh god, not this again!  Of course, USD only.

Can ports be soldered into the November batch Jupiter's to be able to add upgrade boards?

A number of folks have done it without issue..

[ElGabo]

I had a big trust in KNC but now I'm thinking on a refund too...

If Neptunes will late, they should sell Jupiters for existing customers asap.

Thats what I call customer protection not upgrade modules...

[helmax]

Neptunes are still very much in the preliminary design phase..

serious? so why ask our money!!!

People in here need to calm down.. Where exactly has anyone said about stuff being late?? They were always advertised as Q1/Q2.

Yep i have no problem with it.

My problem is my jupiter gets about 0.2... at 1Th.

I wanted to buy a few more to keep myself updated against diff rise. They told us to keep some coins handy. I bought only 7 ants to keep the coins for the Jupiters. If I'd bought more ants I've mined back about 80%of the coins.

That is my problem.

I hope you understand.

Sorry to say but it's not about the network anymore. It's about risk, ROI, profit, loss. It's business. They gave false information.

And yeah, I'm angry now.

You have a 1TH Jupiter?? Oct or Nov?

Yeah, I admit I'd like another Jupiter, just to get myself back into the 1BTC a day club, but sounds like it's out of their control. Better them being straight though I guess.

Agree with you on the profit/loss side of things, it's hard to plan more than a few weeks ahead with Bitcoin as a whole.

You really expected them to ship in February?

anyone wanna buy my batch 1 order? #1109x

Why do they "need" to calm down.  Is their concern and frustration bothering you?  Do you work for KNC?  Should everyone be happy?  They pretty much just announced that Q1/Q2 really means Q2.  Most of us expected that anyway but people have a right to be concerned.

Also, announcing that Jupiters would not be sold is a huge bombshell.  I know it pretty much shattered my plans.  I will be making 1/8th of my previous BTC income by the time Neptune arrives.

The answer is really easy.  They just need to keep selling Jupiters every month until they are done with the Neptune and then switch over.  3000 units a month would keep us in competition with CEX.io and any behind the scenes mining ops.  Not selling Jupiters is surrendering the future of mining to non-KNC customers.  It doesn't make sense.  If they want to take their time with the Neptune, they need to give us some hashing power in the meantime.

I said this about 600 pages ago, but Jupiter was a proven product, the last batch was made and shipped in a very short period of time and it's just silly to retire it when it''s still the best out there.  KNC should have used the money they made to invest in the neptune themselves and announce it much nearer the time

I have a very early order for a neptune but was only willing to gamble on one of them with the vague timeline and it's looking a wise decision at this point.

Many of us and KNC themselves no doubt expected a lull in the hashrate growth after the last jupiters shipped but this has not been the case with even greater quantities of hardware appearing to maintain the 30% per difficulty jumps

This means we need new hardware and as said above by rolling, if KNC don't offer anything the money will be going elsewhere, and if they wait too long and another serious competitor appears then mass refunds will follow which will do nothing to help knc's future.

First quarter: from the beginning of January to the end of March
Second quarter: from the beginning of April to the end of June


KNC is next BFL ?

I think Knc needs to release an official statement with some good news to calm the masses, or else they will get hit with a lot of Neptune refund requests.

I think vague statements from Bitcoinorama simply stirred up the hornets nest and did more harm than good.
