as to 4) the thread is very long, would you be so kind as to give me the quote # where this information was stated?   I am looking for something like "Hosting including electricity for each Neptune will be $XXX.XX per month. This is a fixed amount and will be deducted from the payout balance"   

 
Thanks!

The electricity cost estimate will be released as soon as KNC will reveal additional specifications.
