Oh and there is another 3-4 weeks between batches you forgot AFox. Because it's the kind of thing KfC put in their emails to customers, but not on the sales page. You know, so guys like you won't remember what KNC promised and will quote the wrong information:
I must have missed something..... Can someone direct me to where it was stated that the Neptune deliveries would be separated in "Batches"? Just because there was an order gap, and price difference between Noobs & old customers, means nothing towards delivery time as far as I see... I cannot find anything to support that theory.
not batches per say, but on the site it does state the 13k price orders will come 3-4 weeks after first "batch" orders.
Yup it does
Neptune is our first 20nm product and will be shipping in Q1/Q2 of 2014.
The stats and performance that we can release today are
- Minimum 3000GH/s of hashing speed that 3TH Over 5 times the speed of our first Jupiter release (we reserve the right to increase this as we get closer to shipment)
- A 30% reduction in watts per GH
- Based on the existing Jupiter design (See photo, however this may change as development progresses)
- Shipment begins in Q1/Q2 of 2014
- Bitcoins first ever 20nm miner bought to you form the company who shipped the first 28nm bitcoin miner
- Limited batch of 1200 units,
- Payment for this product is bitcoins and bank transfer only.
- These boxes will ship 3-4 weeks after the first Neptune Batch
- All refunds will be refunded in dollars and you can refund up to shipment
So with a 3-4 week gap between the 0/1/2 batches and another 1 month between those and Batch 3, how are KNC doing? I'd say they've done well to mislead everyone and take all their customers for fools. It's the second week of Q3 and it's not even clear if they have finished shipping the customer humiliation batch (0) yet.
So please point out those newsletter.
All I can see from their news section on KNc's website, is that they never promised a 3-4 weeks delay between every batch.
They only said that second batch part 1 "will leave
about one month after the first batch". And that is not a promise, it's a approximation.
