So how far whacked is the latest firmware for Neptune in terms of Watts shown?  I've got 6 cubes running on 220v and it says on the gui that it is only using 1700w for 4Th.  I realize that's probably at the chip level, but is there some other significant draw?  I don't have a kill-a-watt for 220v or I'd check at the wall/PDU.

they dont say they are done selling hardware , just asked them , seems they realize that keeping bitcoin decentral if very important.
but if they do sell it would be in a way that costomers first need to prove they capapble.
to handle a miner.

any one with more then one braincel does not expect any promises and exact times.
only a compony that can predict the price of bitcoin in 5 years from now , can come with a exact timetable!
so if you fell fucked just look at the man in the mirror because you took a gamble and lost.

lol the definition of an idiot is the one making the same mistake over and over again (albert einstein)
my miners work fine , you lost your money so WHO is the dumb one here?

you expect tyhe diffrent result by complaining instead of thinking!
you lost your money I did not , you expected a diffrent result make money fast does not work , you gabled you lost.
Iam sorry me just heppy with KNC stuff WHY ,, I took the risk and did not expect anything , I could win I could lose ,,, I did not expect ANYTHING.
since Knc can not predict the price of bitcoin , and short term greedy types fuck it up for thoose believing in btc...
my miners do work fine...

look at the stats



so dont clame KNC for your own failure of losing a gamble.

Guys, guys, guys!  Not going to be the peace keeper, but I am in the middle between you two.  I had a great Saturn, ordered the CA Neptune.  Last April I asked for a refund because they didn't meet their deadlines.  I had to get the ARNS involved, but in August I received my $10,166 back.  Shouldn't have taken so long, but I did not end up getting ripped off by the Company.  Lately I've purchased 3 Neptunes and while they take some fiddling to get working as best they can, they do work at least at the stated speed of 3TH.

So yes, people have gotten hurt monetarily by KnC and people have received bad products. But some have received good products and some just don't know how to use the products and therefore think they are bad.  Both of you are completely right in your experiences, but you both need to accept not everyone's experience has been the same.

****steps down off of soapbox*****

Personally I think KnC tried to do too much too fast and got caught with their pants down.  And yes in it's infancy, anything bitcoin is a GAMBLE.  Just like the casino, don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

Hey guys, I thought I would post my specs up too. Running 5 Neptune cubes now and have been tweaking them for a couple of days. Hopefully the dies cooperate.

Yah I'm not sure why. I got them on a computer table by my window, 2 stacked on top of each other, one just by itself and a Turbo-Aire fan cooling everything. It's showing that I'm using 1430w but I don't know if that is accurate.

I'm in the same boat as you, using 220/240V with no way to measure. Indeed, that number is just on the Cube side, but I haven't seen any differences between firmware versions. My worst Neptune runs at 1,400W with undervolting, so 1,700w sounds about right for 6 Cubes.

Someone on the now nuked KnC forum (either shyliar, or prototype) had written up how to estimate total usage at the wall, but I don't remember it. I ended up at a 1,900W estimate at the wall for the Neptune showing 1,400W on the web interface. I just use the % difference between those numbers to calculate my other Neptune's usage. It must be fairly accurate, because I have 15 Cubes running on a 30A 240V circuit and the breaker stays fairly warm. That should be running right around the recommended continuous load max of 80% on the breaker.

If you don't mind burning money (like some "Einsteins" around here, lol), you could get one of these to get an actual reading at the breaker box: http://www.amazon.com/Fluke-323-True-RMS-Clamp-Meter/dp/B00AQKIEXY/ Of course, there are cheaper brands, but they all look like cheap junk after reading the reviews.

Did you accidentally go the wrong direction on the voltages? A higher negative number equals a lower voltage. So -0.0439V is lower than -0.0366V.
