It's got to be the $44million in Neptune pre-order money.
Which would lead a person to believe:
1) They will have no money left after this, so Neptune will never be built. So 3600 neptune customers will become the first 3600 knc cloud hashing customers ("Sorry, neptune delays, have 3TH in our datacentre", which is basically what they said in the latest newsletter).
This.
It's a fairly safe bet at this point that the Neptune will never materialize.
I wonder if that was "Plan A" all along.
Oh how people like to speculate on things. It's not a safe bet and i will tell you why.First of all we paid for a 20nm product. If they deliver only cloud hashing then they are in big troubles. Second of all why would knc host for free and for life 3600 neptune customers? Because we haven't paid for 3TH for 1 year or 2 years or 5 years. We paid for a product that should run until we choose to turn it off. There is no logic in offering cloud hashing instead of products.
As for Avenger i have two questions. How much is a 20nm mask? If a Jupiter is ~1000$ to make then how much do you think a Neptune costs?
