Wow Searing...that sucks...
I knew playing "Survivalist" was necessary when the upgrade boards went so fast...
what was it... three minutes...seven?
3 days for 1200 units was a-ot longer than I thought they would last...
KNC machines are like "unobtainium" now...
Stay @ the sharp & ready if you want a KNC machine...
The general public slots are most likely going to go just as fast...
Wink

ah well 1/3 the risk instead of 3 units with the 2 other brothers...just 1 unit split 3 ways

by the by how do you know it was 1200 units? or just a guess?

as to the 2nd batch not sure with the entire bitcoin population of china trying to jump on knc's www site
that will not be a fun time assuming it stays up....also not sure if that much equip all going out in a 2wk
period is good for ROI options ...miner is like toast in a couple months ROI wise...may not be worth the risk if it is 12500 usd

correct me if I know squat.... but seems with stuff before coming out from other places cointerra/hashfast/blackarrow even (gasp) bfl may be able to get stuff out by april ..well that seems like a lot of stuff dumping in market at same time....look at knc and bfl etc this fall if the price for btc was still 150 when I got the unit more or less anyway oct 18th ..at 25 coins so far I'd still be under water..at that price ..anyway more or less

and that mainly was competing with BFL's dump (by the by the shipping blog today Thanksgiving Day shows BFL (except for some jallys going out Monday) all CAUGHT UP on their stuff ..at least to the point they can ship from stock from the factory....backlog is cleared....for all their old generation units....now when bbb or ftc calls they can say"what do you mean ..it took a year but they got a miner go away"

but anyway I digress. But think about it I "supposedly" have 900gh from BFL in jan (it won't show using this as an example) ...if the KNC miner is 3x more then that and all the stuff dumping in the spring..is it really gonna do any better then IF someone got 900gh cards from BFL (assuming they existed) in jan and mined as a Neptune minning beginning of april?

..seems a pain to take that jump on batch 2...under those conditions...lot of bang bandwidth wise this spring let me tell you

anyway my concerns

on the other hand with LTC at 40 bucks ..and you can get the equip now...maybe the tail end of this carnival ride is better ...you can get...and just ride on BTC's coat tails.

just saying the happy sound of geeks digging their former mining rigs to now mine bitcoin is probably confusing the neighbors (and or the elec company)

anyway might consider that 400 bucks a month was a lot of money before my Jupiter added to my expecaton madness ...could go mine LTC also

anyway you do what you can

I think I heard batch 2 Neptune to the masses will be $12,500 ..wonder if they will raise it to 15k due to the mad demand?

my 2c worth of rambling
