KnCMiner Now Accepting Pre-Orders For Titan Scrypt Miner

Performance-wise: we're looking at minimum of 100MH/s - though the company hasn't released full specifications as of yet. The Titan rig is expected to start shipping some time in the third quarter - but pre-orders are starting now.

KnCMiner has announced its first mining rig dedicated to scrypt mining - the aptly named Titan. At $9,995, it won't come cheap, and the company has not yet revealed its full spec, either. KnC claims the Titan will deliver a minimum of 100MH/s and, in some respects, it resembles a traditional PC, although it is based on the company's Jupiter form factor. The rig measures 60 x 50 x 20cm and weighs just 4kg. A standard ATX power supply is required, which does not ship with the unit. Under the bonnet, the Titan will have blades containing numerous cards, differentiating it from the Jupiter.....
Earlier today, KnCMiner updated their website to reveal a Litecoin Mining Hardware tab, right next to their Bitcoin Mining Hardware tab. Under the new tab, KnCMiner reveals information on their newest ASIC miner: The Titan. The Titan is a 100 MH/s Scrypt ASIC that is designed to be used on the Litecoin network.

The Titan costs $9,995 to preorder and shipment is slated for Q2/Q3 of 2014. KnCMiner has also....
Certainly, there's been quite a bit of excitement surrounding KnCMiner's Titan Scrypt miner. Pre-orders began not terribly long ago, and the company sold $2 million worth of the device in four hours. Customers who've made their purchase are expected to get a whole lot more power than they bought, too. The company today announced that they've upgraded the performance of the device to a minimum of 250 MH/s (running off an 800-1000 watt power supply unit). That's up from the previously-noted figure of 100 MH/s. Perhaps best of all is that the price tag remains unchanged. It can be had for a....
