KnCMiner Titan Scrypt ASIC Miners to Start Shipping Next Week

11, Sep 2014

kncminer-titan-scrypt-asic-miner

Today KnCMiner has announced that the company is ready to finally start shipping the much anticipated Batch 1 of Titan Scrypt ASIC miners to the customers that have preordered the devices. The pre-order price of the 300 MHS KnCMiner Titan Scrypt ASIC miner was $9995 USD without VAT (initially it was just 100 MHS) and when the preorder was announced earlier this year this may have looked like a good deal. Now however the situation is not so good and the 300 MHS units that are about to start shipping in Monday next week, according to KnC, will need quite a lot of time to just even ROI in the current market conditions. If the difficulty remains at the current level as it is at the moment you would still need about half a year just to ROI what you have paid for the miner and we know that once these ASICs start shipping we are going to see a serious increase in the total network hashrate and difficulty for Litecoin…

In fact the people that have pre-ordered or are considering pre-ordering the Batch 2 KnCMiner Titan Scrypt ASIC miners might have more luck and get faster ROI time as their units that are supposed to start shipping sometime next month will be upped to 400 MHS hashrate and cost $6995 USD without VAT. Even though these miners at that price are also not so attractive in the current market situation, so the interest in them will probably not be that high now, especially when the competition is also preparing interesting and more affordable products with higher hashrate and lower power usage.

But back to Batch 1 miners, these 300 MHS Scrypt ASICs will be broken down to 4 separate cubes using the design that the company’s 3 THS Neptune Bitcoin ASCI miners relied upon and will have a total power consumption rated at 1160 watts. This also means that each of the cubes will use almost 300 watts of power, so hopefully KnC will equip these with two PCI-E power connectors instead of just one like on the Neptunes. The announcement from KnCMiner that they are ready to start shipping the Titans did contain something interesting as well, namely the following “The Titan was designed for several variants of the Scrypt algorithm, including Scrypt-N”. This suggests that the Titan will also be capable of mining Scrypt-N coins at a lower hashrate than that available for Scrypt-based crypto coins.

KNCMiner Starting to Offer Bitcoin Cloud Mining Contracts

2, Sep 2014

KNCMiner has announced that they are starting to offer for a limited time Bitcoin online mining contracts powered by the company’s mining hardware located in their Clear Sky mining farms in the polar region (KNC Cloud). The currently available contracts are three – 1 THS for $1995 USD or about 1.99 USD/GHs, 3 THS for $5495 USD for about $1.89 USD/GHs and 5 THS for $8995 USD or about 1.79 USD/GHs. The duration of all contracts is only 6 months however and not 1 year as you might expect however at these prices and with the current market situation these cloud mining offers are highly unprofitable and there is not much point to invest in them. Normally you would expect to see really good offers for cloud mining from an ASIC hardware manufacturers, but apparently this is not the case with KNC’s offers for the moment.

Running the numbers through a Bitcoin profit calculator shows that 1 THS contract for 6 months at the current Bitcoin price and network difficulty will not even ROI if the difficulty remains at the same level at it is at the moment. With no difficulty increase, which is of course impossible, you would need more than 7 months just to ROI, let alone make some profit. And if you take into account an average difficulty increase of about 15% the numbers will never be in your favor with these prices and just 6 months contracts. Again if you are going to bet on the fact that the price of Bitcoin will rapidly increase by the end of your 6 month contract, then you will still be better of betting on just buying Bitcoins now and investing in these mining contracts. It seems that some companies in the crypto mining business have forgotten why people mine in the first place – to make profit, and if it is even just for fun… well what fun is it to invest in a cloud mining service that has no chance of even returning your initial investment.

KnCMiner Titan Scrypt ASIC Miner Status Update

14, Aug 2014

KnCMiner has released an update regarding their upcoming Titan Scrypt ASIC miners, according to the manufacturer they are already finishing the first run in fabrication of the chips this weekend with wafers being sent to the next step: encapsulation. After that the finished chips will be sent to Stockholm, Sweden, where they’ll move into the testing and assembly phase, and then the finished miners will be prepared for delivery. The company has also announced that the Titan chip will use a PCB (board) with the same physical dimensions and footprint as the ones used by the Neptune SHA256 ASIC miners, while requiring substantially lower wattage as well as the same new modular design system for the miner itself.

So it seems that KnCMiner will be able to meet the Q3 delivery schedule for the Titan Scrypt ASIC miners, with the company probably starting to ship the devices sometime in September. That however does not come as so good news for the people that have pre-ordered the miners early expecting to be able to make a quick ROI and get some nice profit. With the current Litecoin network difficulty that continues to increase all the time and the not so good market price for the LTC at the moment even getting a return of the initial investment seems like a hard to achieve goal, let along to make some profit. That is of course if the market conditions continue to be unfavorable for the Scrypt ASIC miners – increasing difficulty and declining price of LTC. The fact that we are still probably a month away from the Titans starting to get into the hands of miners along with the fact that other ASIC manufacturers also expect to have products ready for delivery by that time does not make things seem so bright for the customers expecting their Titans.
