I have a thread on when the general memberbase thinks the Neptunes are shipping, and the majority feel it's April, which would line up the latest batch during Q2.

Man, that poll made me laugh
19% think it'll be delivered in March! That should be enough to tell you that data is completely stupid and useless. The self delusional and rank stupidity in this forum is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Before you lose all your money, rather than doing polls, read up about how long it takes to produce 28nm chips.
Clue:
Quote
announced today that they have cooperated in design completion and manufacture of the worlds first 28nm Bitcoin mining AISC for KnCMiners flagship mining machine; "Jupiter" in just four months. The fastest 28nm ASIC created in any industry to date.
Now realise that is bullshit, more like 5 months in terms of actual time to delivery to customers.
And remember buttcon said
they only started working on neptune just before Xmas and
were only in preliminary design stages in January and
they weren't going to rush it, as they have to get it right first time and
that time to production is not the most important factor this time - energy efficiency is (because *that* is what is important to knc's datacentre and *their* long term business goals)
And now add on a few extra months - 1 to 20 months - to take into account it's a 20nm project, not 28nm
Keep twitching those curtains looking for the UPS van - it'll be a long wait.
