Title: knc miners
Post by: tronsom on June 05, 2013, 03:05:18 AM
Are they legit?
Any idea of how many pre ordered units they have and what their daily production capacity will be?
What are your thoughts about knc?

I just tried to recover my password (I had registered and reserved the Mars FPGA and the Jupiter ASIC) but I get the error message:
"User with current E-mail is not found."

I'm at work and don't have my password folder with me (yea, I'm still old school and write them down on paper).

Has anyone else encountered this problem.  I'll be emailing KNC in a minute.

Ive been considering this as well.  Im stuck between purchasing shares of a miner (all i can afford) or waiting til asics become cheaper or some kind of fpga is made for scrypt.

Wait until an actual working product is online and demonstrated, then throw 50% of my BTC at it.

You should ask in the already existing thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.0

There's also this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214285.0
About the open-day they had earlier today. A few member of our community attended and will post videos and a compiled list of Q&As either today or tomorrow I'd guess.

General impressions seem positive. I'm leaning more towards this being legit and will risk a purchase. But check out those threads and decide for yourself.

true but the price will be at minimum double what it is now.  At least for shares.  Gotta judge if it is worth the gamble I guess.

Advantage

1) We have seen them before on either photos or videos

2) We have check their company background?

3) You can pay by bitcoin and Paypal and Bank Wire

4) Collect yourself or send to you by UPS

5) The open day at their office  is very positive

6) Compares to bitfury and metabank/asic you can decide which is one is better and safer.

and Diff for a KNC batch 2 will be 4X compared to now; they might even triple prices.

very tempting...but no prototype? what are chances of revamp?

If it's ok to pay with CC thru Paypal, that extra protection is nice

anybody know how much to ship to US? Is PSU included with Saturn ($3795 price)

My shipping is $102 to northeast USA.. no power supply with it

Since I am a 1-500 I am considering letting anyone local to jump in and buy a unit or two for a small fee...  not sure if worth the trouble though
