A lot of calculations done pretty fast. I don't think Jupiter and Neptune can be compared so directly - we have no idea at what clock speeds the Neptune chips will run. I am, however, almost certain it will not be the same clock as the Jupiters, so in essence we can't compare core-for-core performance.
Absolutely. There are a lot of things we STILL do not know. Instead of this being an attempt to show Neptune necessarily will hash at a theoretical 5TH, it's more meant as a counter to all the pseudo facts being thrown out in this clusterfuck of an over dramatic thread citing Neptune couldn't possibly ever ROI.
As others have said, we're not out of the woods yet.
hey bitcoinorama, glad to see you back....
btw, are you back in the U.K.? I thought I read somewhere that someone in I believe London is selling burgers and taking Dogecoin, so in case you still have that small token of appreciation you might now have a place to eat with Dogecoin. Funny, one of the guys I work with tries to buy me lunch everyone once in while, as long as I pay him back in Dogecoin.
And speaking of Alt. coins, any word if KNC will ever pursue a scrypt miner?
