I tried to find my Neptune posts so I could copy them -- and gloat. But gloating seems in really poor taste because of all the problems...

Anyway when Neptune was announced I provided some cautions -- including that I had some Xilinx 20NM based product on order -- and it was already late -- it should have been delivered in Oct/Nov 2013. I should see a shipping notice this week -- I guess.

As someone who worked all his life at the bleeding edge of technology I could not see this (Neptune) product could be delivered on time. I had hoped they would make additional Jupiters available in December/January -- as they likely (but not certainly) would have made a positive ROI.

My calculations showed that delivery later than mid-March 2014 made a positive payout seem unlikely.

Then I saw the notice about their northern mining factory....

Then came the 3THash mining contracts offer...

The came the "be patient" -- we'll deliver a "two-for-one" offer!


Anyway -- I guess this cost me since the rise in difficulty means we will get about 10 BTC less than estimated from our Jupiter (nee Saturn)...

It looks like bait and switch to me -- go get them!

Not happy in Canuckistan!

Risk is one thing -- chance is another -- don't want to use the nasty "F-Word" but when you promise one thing and don't deliver -- or deliver something else or devalued goods -- what can you call it? Just a wee mistake?
