So, if I read the news correctly, I can either start receiving my 3 GH/s share from the data centre operations right away (as soon as it's officially operational), or to wait for the Neptune to get developed and have it hosted at the aforementioned data centre? Correct?

Sound like a good option to me. I have a rig hosted with them now, and it's been operational 24/7 since it went on-line. So I am happy with their handling of the hosting. When I bought Neptune, it was at the limit of my power and, not least, cooling abilities at home, so I was actually asking KnC if they would provide hosting for Neptunes. It seems they listened.

Currently, I don't see any downside...

I think you are reading it wrong.

They are building the data centre shortly with their 28nm products. That data centre will be raise the difficulty dramatically and reduce your current income (and the future income of the neptune).

Once it gets to July 1st, the first day they will be 'late' THEN you get access to your 3TH of hosted mining, BUT at that point it will probably be making 0.01 BTC per day and any chance of an ROI will be gone.

well assuming you are correct..get a refund now up to shipping.....but its my view that the boat has sailed.....they were always gonna mine at least 5% was it of what they sell anyway...that is always gonna grow as network does...as to doing a mining hosting rig thing..ie selling virtual machines that hash..well that is where it all is going with mining anyway...even I saw that coming but not this soon

so they mine 5% if that is the figure they gave on themselves and sell the rest to us as virtual miners.....imho they are just doing this a lot sooner then I thought

and as far as messing up the network with difficulty..they are gonna do the same thing with the physical neptunes anyway.....you just expected them to stop after the neptunes shipped say if they were/are on time in what july 1st by the last batch

nope from their point of view it has gotten too nuts to mnfg only and this is their exit strategy..you can either get a refund ...wait for equip to get to you and take the hash in the mean time....

thems the choices

for me just shocked it happened in Feb mnfg companies are moving this way vs nov/dec when I expected such a change

you can't blame the company because the river suddenly sped up and now their are rapids....ie they figure they need a bigger boat...us.....well we can take their bigger boat or not go down the river again imho they ..the mnfg companies all had this as a plan..if bitcoin works and difficulty goes up it is the same as 'pools' now .it was/is inevitable

so I have a choice.....get Neptunes with the above conditions or refund them

heck of a lot more choice then I have or had with anyone else
