So I got my Miner today. Let me post some fun thing here!

Firstly, the machine pictah.

Room converted entirely just for that machine.

Machine are placed with toilet open as ventilation.






Obviously, my hand itches, and opening the rig out. One fan spoilt, replaced with my own immediately.

After that, of course with some tweaking and nom nom nom.

I'm using Eligius as my primary pool, with BitMinter as my secondary pool in case ammoshaf happened on the main pool.

KNCMiner Control Panel



Eligius Stats (From 2:37-3:22) ~~ 45 minutes mining (with few minute downtime due to testing and tuning)



I've earned approximately 0.015BTC~~USD14

Roughly 0.02BTC/hour ~ USD19/hour

System will run 24/7 nonstop ~ USD450/day at current USD965/btc rates.

In case anyone wondering how much I spent. Everything is paid in cash and not BTC. So I'm not affected by the BTC rate on that time.

Machine - USD5200 (incl shipping)
1050W PSU - Free (Given by friends)
Electricity consumption - Output around 660W at the moment
Electricity bill? - Did not even make a dent in my profit


The profit will be shared only by me and my brother as we are the only one forking out all the money.

Will purchase Neptune soon once this goes smoothly.

Yes bro, Jupiter.

Currently, Jupiter ready stock worth about USD20k. I'm not planning to do any sharing at the moment, but for Neptune, I am considering it. I have the capital to play with 2 units of USD12k. Maybe in future lol.

Is there any secret? No la lol. I ordered around 25th of October for November unit.

I'm just glad that my unit does not have any issues at all.

There's 768 cores in this machine, and there's not even single defect here.

That's why I everyday stress, but Knc has delivered. That's for sure.

Some still have yo, some even get a DoA unit. I think it looks fragile too.

Thanks, actually 2 front fan dropped earlier, but it's okay because they are using Arctic fan with clip case. So just slot it in back. I think they didn't slot it in originally to tell buyer that the clip is removable and interchangeable with other fan.

Neptune yo, considering two units at the moment.

Nobody else playing with ASIC machine in /k?

It's impossible to build with hand lor, I think those custom made one would most probably involve million of dollar just for r&d.

No PnP la, Knc got slot in one Raspberry Pi there. Need a very good programming as well. PCB Board is one thing. Programming is another one liao.

Yes bought directly from KnC.

They support stratum, if not, use proxy.

I'm planning to do a group share of 10 person for KncMiner Neptune (It will run about 3THs with predicted difficulty of about 2.5 billion upon receive).

It cost about USD13.5k inclusive of shipping.

Divided by 10 person, it will be USD1.35k per person. I've not include the cost of PSU yet which most probably needs 2x1000W PSU.

I will see how many interest buyer within this 3 days time. If there's not enough 10 person to share, I will not proceed with this offer.

If there's enough people, I will start drafting the projected profits and all other R&R.

This will be the second unit of Neptune as I have purchased first unit for self use.

I'm putting up 1BTC for sales. Actually I have quite lot of BTCs in reserve.

Just testing market for now

< 0.5 BTC = Mt-Gox price + 5%
>= 0.5 BTC = BTC-E price + 8%

I accept Maybank/PBB/CIMB . Just PM me if you are looking for BTC.
