Great job.  Could you  post a close-up picture that shows the AC connection of the psu and the connections of the Gridseed units to the psu?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like Burnin does have no intentions to ever refund the majority of people - scammer tag well deserved.
Well, I am from Germany, and the next time I will visit there, I will surprise him - that is a promise.

At the very least communicate what is happening.  Keep us informed - he sure did this when he accepted payments.
His communication skills are not much better than the infamous YIFU dog from Avalon - he will get the chi that he
deserves.  So Burnin - let us know what time frame we can expect to be made at least 50% whole.

Burnin, it is now more than 4 months since you received our funds in BTC, and the price was much lower then. 
Just holding some of the BTC would have made you whole, not to speak of the losses you cause us by not issuing
a promised refund in a timely manner.  I thought Germans are true to their word, it does not seem that this applies
to you, given your current track record.  Do you plan to ever return all the unearned (stolen) money, or do we have
to apply the scammer tag to you??

Right now LTC mining is the way to go, plus you are not stuck with a proprietary piece of hardware that needs
constant tinkering.  When you are done you can always sell your mining rig as a high end gaming system.

As I assume the money transfer goes straight into KNC's bank account, you should probably use a bank transfer.
I do not think that KNC cares how they obtain your money as long as it ends up  in their bank account.

In the US, a bank transfer is handled by a bank and you have better legal recourse if something happens as
opposed to a wire transfer like Western Union, where it is much harder to recover any funds.

My sentiments exactly.  If you pre-order a Neptune now, you tie up $10,000 until March or April 2014.  You will not be able to reap any benefits from this tidy sum until March or April 2014 at the earliest.  If you spent $10,000 on HD7970s you will start mining LTC next week and with 4 7970s you are currently earning about 1.5 LTC per day, which at $30 - $40 per coin would earn you about 120 - 150 LTC by March 2014.  You would probably be at break-even after 3 -4 months and at the current price of LTC power cost is negligible unless you run a farm.  Besides, you can trade your LTC for BTC and at the current exchange rate less than 20 LTC buys a Bitcoin.

I was in Zephyr's Avalon group buy batch 5, but we never received the chips.  Thankfully we were refunded in BTC, and that was my luck as just keeping the coins turned out to be a much better investment than pursuing any Asic mining equipment.  I had pre-ordered a Jupiter but decided not to pursue it while watching the  dramatic difficulty increases in BTC mining.

At the same time I started to run an LTC rig in May (3 HD 7970s) and have completely recovered my cost (about $2,000.-) and with the current prices have almost tripled my original investment.  The 10 BTC that not so long ago only bought 100 Avalon chips are now enough to buy a KNC miner.  But if each coin cost $5,000 in two years you will be sorry as you will lose money.  LTC mining with  GPUs is currently the most profitable mining.  In addition, when I started in May 2013, the  difficulty in LTC mining was around 500.  At this time it is 1500 and will climb to 1700 because of the recent price push.  Compare this to the  BTC ASIC arms race and you see the  difference.  The only people that make money in this arms race are the ASIC miner vendors and large ASIC mining farms.  In LTC mining there is a chance for the small miner, there is none in BTC, especially now.  

If you decide to buy a Neptune, please use Fiat, otherwise you will hate yourself later.

It's a Gold rush - so remember, in a Gold rush, only the people that sell the shovels get rich

My apologies, and I truly feel bad about your financial loss.  Hopefully you can recover some of your losses through
the Bitfury boards, but then all of us lost on this deal thanks to Yifu - I would not want to have his kharma - he will
get his - sooner or later. 

The silence of their No.1 salesman does not bode well - this looks like another BFL/Avalon play

Burnin is busy building the hashing farm for Cryptx - wants to get rich quick.

Sounds like KNC is pulling a page from the BFL/Avalon playbook - like I said do not buy pre-order
ASIC miners - all you do is finance their hashing farms

He used an X-terminal to ftp it.

My feelings exactly - ASICs opened the doors to the worst scams of them all - this was never possible in the GPU days -
everybody had access to real hardware vendors, not these these wannabe pretenders.  The verdict on KNC is still out,
I did consider them back in May, but decided against it when they pulled the plug on the FPGA Litecoin miner.
Instead I decided to pursue the Avalon group-buy DIY route - with a reputable organizer (Zefir) - well at least I received
a full refund from Zefir - thank you again.

At this time it does not make sense to buy any mining product, especially a pre-order, as all ASIC manufacturers use their
profits to mine, or even worse, use your pre-ordered equipment to mine (Avalon). and then don't even have the decency
to clean them up, before finally shipping them to their customers.

I am not saying that KNC is like Avalon, but their September shipping date is already moved at best to September 30, if
this month at all.  Remember, every ASIC manufacturer is above all else your competition in this game, and they hold
the upper hand.  

Looks like Burnin went to "the dark side".  Please do not fund Cryptx hashing farm with this Bitfury burner price scam.
Just ask for a refund.  The product is not worth the price, you will not even break even with this price - ROI
- forget about it.  So do  yourself a favor and let them use their  own many to fund their hashing farm.

Maybe somebody needs to notify Punin from Bitfury about what is going on here, that they are using "forced investors"
money to pay for the chips.  Let's see how he feels about this, and if he wants to take the  risk of accepting funds that
were taken without permission of their owners.  This would cross their entire business model.

He is "taking" our money (I could have used a stronger word) without our permission to fund his new
enterprise.  At a minimum we "investors" are entitled to "dividends" - therefore he owes these people
a decent price at the product of this "joint venture".  Otherwise this will be headed to legal action.
Very unfortunate that Burnin chose this way.

They need the margin to finance their "farm"  - this entire asic arms race is getting totally ridiculous.

Burnin does not offer any refunds until mid October, using the pre-order money to create the
new boards and pay for the chips and manufacturing costs.  Then to top it off, the reward for this
"financing" by the pre-order customers is to screw them again with the cryptx deal.  Burnin needs
to come clean and at a minimum offer the pre-order customers boards at cost, as they are the
forced "investors" in this game.

That is still only euro 360 for the chips.  Let the board + assembly cost another Euro 120 - Euro 150 -
That's Euro 510 tops.  How to you arrive at Euro 799 just for taking orders and shipping, and that price
is net of VAT and shipping costs.  Cryptx wants to slap another Euro 289 just for that???
