“Stockholm-based KnCMiner sold $8 million worth of their new $10,000-a-pop bitcoin miners in 24 hours last Wednesday, according to KnC spokesman Alex Lawn. KNC says it sold $1 million every hour for the first five hours the new unit, called the Neptune, went on sale, said the company spokesman. The huge sales are despite the fact that the product won’t even be available until early next year. The Neptune’s headline feature is that it runs on 20 nm application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which means more circuits can be fitted on a chip, allowing for faster and more complex processing while using less power.”
