        Actually we dont. But its their 6th batch and many people got the antminers already. have a look on btc forums.

      • Sirocco on 03/02/2014 - 09:41

        I know its legit! My friend bought one of the first batch of miners from knc and also bought a piece of shit from butterflylabs. The knc miner is the best miner i have seen. They always state minimum specs… and when you get the device, it exceeds expectations by 10%… so even thou they say 3Terahashes… it will probably do 3.3 or 3.5TH

    • Associateddreamzz @ eBay US on 02/02/2014 - 15:36

      Yes but shipping by april-may a pre-order that they are only making the chip, the last one they send out is 28nm chips but neptune is 20nm
      This one is no preorder, ready to ship. do the maths

    • easternculture on 02/02/2014 - 20:23

      definitely getting this one

      the jupiter got good feedback

  • Associateddreamzz @ eBay US on 02/02/2014 - 15:43

    Update: So confirmed how the order will work.

    Whenever you are ready let me know with your address and I will make the order from my account and sent you the screen shot of the order, that will also show the payment address and stuff, you pay them directly, it has to be in a 1 hour window or else the booking will get canceled and we need to make another one. i cant be held responsible for your money, you need to understand I am in the same boat as you, risking my BTC hoping they will ship on time which they did before for their customers, this is their 6th batch. Once the order reaches the limit company will be giving me the discount and then I will pay that to your BTC account. In return company will be giving free shipping and save import duty. If you want I can give you a copy of drivers license and you have to do the same, upto you. My Number is zero4two3three2eight8eight7 , have fun with cracking the code :)

      dont worry about quantum, its a long long way before they come to the consumer level.

  • garamb0z on 02/02/2014 - 16:37

    How many order you need to reach the target? I mean to get the discount

    • Associateddreamzz @ eBay US on 02/02/2014 - 17:53

      40…we are almost 30 now, people are waiting for convert their fiat to btc tomorrow and then place the order

      • garamb0z on 02/02/2014 - 23:40

        So at first I have to sent 1.45btc?? And then you will return 0.1 to me later?

      It is,,, but this is the time to take advantage if the ponzi scheme..this is what I am thinking. I'm not a big believer of these

        At least you're honest! :)

        You guys are braver than me, I wouldn't be fronting up $1500 for a device that might earn me imaginary 'dollars' in a cyber pseudo-currency that is all but guaranteed to fall flat on it's face any day; but that's just me.

        …don't you know how many Amway starter kits I could buy with that money??? ;)

        • gb86217 on 02/02/2014 - 19:35

          Well, mine machine made $400 for me already, and I sold it $300 more than I bought it. bitcoins already cashed out in the bank. you need to do it on time.

        • StewBalls on 02/02/2014 - 21:01

          you need to do it on time.

          Yep, timing is everything when it comes to getting lucky with ponzi/pyramid schemes…a few of my friends made good money playing the "airplane game" in the 80's & 90's; a lot more simply lost their stake though. ;)

    What stops people who have access to the world's supercomputers from using it for bitcoin mining?

    • plasmoske on 03/02/2014 - 22:51

      The current bitcoin network is about 20 times faster than all of the current top 200 supercomputers in the world… COMBINED.

      • gummibears on 04/02/2014 - 01:05

        What does that mean for the mining rate from an individual though? Surely the supercomputers are faster than these packages? I don't have any real interest and knowledge in bitcoin mining; it was just a curious question I had.

        • plasmoske on 04/02/2014 - 19:47
          +1

          The thing about supercomputers or normal computers is that they're designed not for bitcoin mining. They're a general purpose do-it-all kind of chip.

          Take for example, bitcoin mining on a PC. It's hopeless. Utterly. Does like 20-30MH/s

          GPU does about 400-800MH/s.

          ASIC on the other hand, are designed for the sole and only purpose for mining bitcoins.

          A top of the line bitcoin miner does about 3000GH/s

          That's almost 6000 times more faster than a GPU. And about 150000 times more faster than a PC CPU.

          This is the reason why 'supercomputers' are no match for ASICs.

          Your first sentence answered my question. Thank you. I wouldn't say supercomputers are designed for general purpose but I get the point.

  • frewer on 02/02/2014 - 17:25

    another option if any one interest in:

    Cost 1497
    Performance Specifications

    300 GH/s nominal performance ( + / - 20% )
175w (0.6w/GH conservative estimate)

    Connectivity

    USB 2.0   -  Bitcoin Mining Monarch cards can be used as an external computer peripheral and chained via USB hub.  In this mode it can be controlled via an Android host or standard Linux or Windows computer. 
PCI-Express  -  Monarch cards consume two PCI slots when installed in a standard ATX motherboard.  The PCIe format used is x1 for maximum compatibility.

    Mining Software compatibility

    EasyMiner software is provided for Android, Windows & Linux operating systems.
BFGminer - Open source available
CGminer - Open source available
BitMinter - Java Client

    All manufacturers in this space have experienced some degree of delay with their first generation ASIC. Every last one of them, so we're reluctant to give a specific delivery date. However, this is our second generation, so we have much greater clarity on the process and plan to begin shipments in January 2014. Orders are shipped in order date priority so any order placed now should be expected to be delivered in March.

    Dimensions: Weight: 1 lb. 5.5 oz Dimensions: 12.4" x 5.5" x 2.36"

    Warranty: This unit’s system board has one year warranty from manufacture defect or component failure.

    • ThadtheChad on 03/02/2014 - 10:52

      Suggest you take a look at BFL. They have such a bad reputation that it has become a metaphor for getting truly fked over. E.g. ZOMG! I my pre-order got delayed by another 70 months… I got BFL'd. :(

      PS: While I was really tempted to jump into BFL, sense prevailed and I went the group buy way @ DZMiners. Already made 2-3x ROI so not complaining. :)

    Butterflylabs.. Big no.. Please google before making a suggestion, they initially promised to deliver these on November :)

  • Associateddreamzz @ eBay US on 02/02/2014 - 18:39

    I have put a couple of orders for others and transaction is a breeze, they actually sent me an email with all the details and I forward that to the buyer then buyer pays directly, I will confirm the payment when the website shows it.
    Shipping is also to the buyers address as there is separate section for specifying that for each order.

    Do not do this. You will not make money.

    OzBargain has saved me coin on several occasions - and now is my chance to give back to the community :)

    -

    The OP's recommendation to 'do the math' fails completely to recognise and account for the rising Bitcoin difficulty - and it is rising rapidly: around 25% every two weeks!!

    View the history here: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

    Use the calculator here: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator (which does account for difficulty rising)

    You will not make money. Please don't do this.

    • tomclancy on 02/02/2014 - 23:03

      Now this makes more sense. Profitable for first few months, but not enough to cover the purchase price in total. You will lose more than half of your purchase price and in 5 months your mining efforts don't cover the cost of power needed to run the machine. Total net loss = $900.

      Thank you very much for posting this as it has helped a noob like me.

    • tomclancy on 02/02/2014 - 23:07
      +1

      An additional factor in the mix is how long it will take to receive your machine and get it running. Difficulty is ever increasing so every day you don't have it running you are losing crucial opportunity to mine the 'easier' coins that your machine can find.

      The calculator you posted has some bitcoin miners that DO present a positive ROI yield, however if you don't earn that first month's revenue because you are waiting for your shipment to arrive then the ROI is only positive on the two CoinTerra miners.

    • nickj on 03/02/2014 - 12:29
      +2

      … interesting! And it looks like after ~220 days even the best hardware is obsolete and runs at a loss rather than a profit, presumably because the power costs exceed the revenue generated from the hardware, due to the ever increasing computational effort required. And furthermore at that point the hardware is effectively worthless, I can't imagine anyone rationally wanting to buy it, so I'm dubious about the resale aspect too.

      Haha, in a weeks time the miner will be able to mine 30% less because mining difficulty has increased.

    • Associateddreamzz @ eBay US on 04/02/2014 - 07:15

  • Elppa8 on 03/02/2014 - 00:20

    Not for me this one. Only play with money you are prepared to lose on risky investments. This sounds too easy and I hear alarm bells ringing. Too many unknowns and variables affecting the outcome.

  • slix_88 on 03/02/2014 - 00:26

    I'm no law expert but I would be wary on how you phrase some of the guarantees you've made to others in this public thread heloanand. Don't be surprised if people knock on your door after not being able to pay off their initial investment in the 30 days you've guaranteed.

    Knowing some of the OzBargainers on here, they'll probably engage bikies

    "Basically, your returns are getting cut in half every 25 days, and there's not much of a reason that is going to change. Try using this calculator, it takes into account the rising difficulty and lists the posted availability dates, which you should not count on them hitting: mining.thegenesisblock.com"

    Guys i would not waste your money on this miner.

    With the newer 3THash miners being released… the difficulty will be outta this world and you will be left with a heap of junk.

    • Flyingmoo on 03/02/2014 - 15:52

      I was about to post the same. The current calculations for ROI are not taking into account the massive spike in difficulty that is about to happen to BTC. You will struggle to make the money back in double the time (or longer)

    • carlscott1982 on 04/02/2014 - 10:46

      I ran the calculation on the 3T/H miners. If you can run it starting right now, you can double your money and then it stops earning.

      However, if you receive it in April (which is when most are expecting the first batch), you don't even break even.

      Kind of sad really.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2014 - 15:48

    I'm surprised no-one has thought of leaving one of these turned on in the office for "free" power usage.

  • machej on 04/02/2014 - 02:54

    I disagree that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme due to its practicality such as sending money internationally at cheap prices near instant. I do however believe that the mining craze has become insane and very risky. I wouldn't touch this but good luck to those who do and the OP.

    Disclosure: I hold multiple bitcoins but do not mine.

  • whatwhat on 06/02/2014 - 00:57

    Miners are no longer profitable. Like others have pointed out, if the manufacturer could repay the cost of the device in 30 days, why not run it themselves? Goodluck recovering your money once the difficulty becomes too high and your power bills are through the roof.

  • brentsbits on 08/07/2014 - 10:08

    Well, if anyone still wants any of these, I have a couple going in the classifieds for $450 each with a bonus if you take both.
