faetos..anotherhost is just co-location service, not a full service like KNc hosting. What if you need a new part? they are only open 8-5 like a bank. Perhaps this is not correct info, but that's what I got on their website. In addition, since they ask for 1BTC deposit and say that it is essentially first month, cost would be ~$800/mo in my calc since electricity is 27c/kw in sweden. BTW, did you really refunded all your Neptune preorders. I have two, and was thinking doing the same for at least one.
Yes, refunded them all. No longer going to bother with mining btc and will just focus on trading and my bots. Best of luck to you all. trading seemed to hurry up and die just before mining did...

anyone ask refund neptune?
further up the thread ...is a guy who got one...also others i know have gotten refunds Searing I already asked for my refund and got my money back. I see people here continue to believe that Neptune will return ROI. I personally do not.... and plus, the amount of power that thing pulls is beyond what my infrastructure can handle. So I've decided to stick with buying/selling BTCs instead. Good luck to the rest of you.

I have 4 neptunes on order from the previous customer batch. At this point, they still look like a solid purchase. Each one was around 10BTC.
Think again. $40k gets you 5 TH delivered next week. By the time you get the Neptunes, difficulty will be much higher. 5 TH now is far more profitable than 12 TH several months from now. 5th next week? Who sells them?

I think a Neptune at 3000 GH will ROI in BTC as long as it starts hashing at around a 5 billion difficulty.
We'll likely hit a difficulty of 5 billion sometime in late March / early April.

Keeping mine. Maybe foolish. Prefer to mine the btc instead of watching the btc price chart, reacting emotionally to every scare tactic the traders can foist.
Perhaps my efforts to conjole KnC planners to produce and market anything that can hash soon are a mistake.

Anyone of you have good experience with Corsair AX1200i for the november jupiters? I can buy them cheap in bulk, but I remember horrible stories with Corsair PSU with the october Jupiters. So I ask your advice first. Thanks

anyone ask refund neptune?
a more revealing question would be, has anyone NOT asked for a neptune refund...? I have 4 neptunes on order from the previous customer batch. At this point, they still look like a solid purchase. Each one was around 10BTC. I have no idea how the hell I am going to power them and hope that some hosting options open up. I'm sure I can get an electrician in and things will work out but at this point, I don't have a plan for that. 40grand!! u rock bruh!! dont worry yourself about powering them up yet, they dont know yet either. all we can do is pray that they pull a 6Th rabbit out of their hat while BTC reaches around 5000usd (aka da m00n) - then we're sorted!! 0.01btc per day yo!!! see what i did there jelin? do you see? i READ the previous post, then posted accordingly. 6TH would be nice, but I can't even see that using a standard plug. That baby will be like hooking up a gas dryer, along those lines, which uses bookuu power.

There is a really big difference here. You really can't even get a Neptune for at least another several months so why even compare right now? All my friends requested refunds also for their Neptunes. In the bunch I think there was like 18 of them. Don't be surprised if you see some go on sale or we hear some news from KNC now. Once they see their very loyal customer base is dumping them out I'm pretty sure we'll eventually hear some thing from them soon. They only have one spokesperson here who isn't a sales person and can't really confirm on anything since all decisions are made by Sam. Only a matter of time we'll hear something. Once you are a millionaire and see possible money that could be yours leaving your bank account it starts to make you worry, no matter how much you have.

3th of Antminers = 5kw (by taking 300watts per Antminer) = 31.654BTC (without shipping) = 25.8k $ 3th of Neptunes = 2.5kw = 14.6BTC = 12k $
Two times more $$$ and watts for the same hash-power. There is a really big difference here. You really can't even get a Neptune for at least another several months so why even compare right now? The winner in the mining game is the one who as the most power efficient machine (or the one with free electricity). I know Neptune's will be hashing while Antminer's will be turned off because they use to much electricity.

Or those of us who stand pat get extra hashing power or some other recompense.

Once you are a millionaire and see possible money that could be yours leaving your bank account it starts to make you worry, no matter how much you have. knc sold the last batch with no refunds possible, so that is $12million they have for sure. Some other people will stick it out, because they have the money and it doesn't matter to them. Or they think they have the stronger nerve/smarter than everyone else. So out of the $44million knc took, even if they have massive refunds, they will probably still have 1/2 of that by the time they ship. That should still cover all their costs. I imagine any machines they refund are going to some cloud hashing venture. But yeah, I'm sure they don't like to see millions of $$$ flood out of their account, especially after they have been bragging about how much they pocketed in December

Timing is EVERYTHING, and it may offset that price difference. Who knows... I'm HODL mode w/ my Neptune order. We'll see...
