Title: KNC update
Post by: jelin1984 on September 26, 2013, 06:29:05 PM
 Just a couple of quick updates from us at KnCMiner.

The big news is that all the production orders that are due for delivery before October 15th have now been confirmed with the factory for final assembly and our production schedule is now locked. As such, we are not able to make any more changes.

Over the past few days everyone who has requested shipment via UPS have had their address details confirmed and altered where needed. We still have many customers who have provided incorrect VAT details and we are contacting everyone affected by this, if you are not a registered company with real VAT number, you will have to pay VAT at the relevant rate.

We know that everyone is keen to see more photos and videos of the products and production so we will be releasing our launch video in the coming days. Look out for more news as it happens!

 

Thanks KnCMiner Team

Would be even better news if it was posted on the KnC thread instead of Hashfast's

KnC's EZ-Copy pseudo-ASIC isn't going to be competitive against Bitfury, much less HashFast.

Don't take my word for it, look at decentralizedhashing.com's quasi-official chart:

HashFast's Baby-Jet is kicking your sorry Swedish ass all over the chart.

They have the top two positions, and positive ROI in all scenarios.

KnC's poor customers are relying on nothing but good luck, a hope and a prayer that difficulty will taper.  That's why KnC is way down on the list, at #14.

If you solo mine and find more than the expected number of blocks in the next 10.5 days then you are very plainly better of mining solo while the difficulty was lower.

Of course, but just as you mentioned above that risk only makes sense if you have a reasonable certainty that you'll be compensated for solo mining. The only way to reach that reasonable certainty is to have a decent portion of the global hashrate. Then even if you do, you still need luck. To say that luck is not a factor is silly.

I think we finally agree on something iceman. Worse that chart shows November pricing for knc. The deliveries currently being prepared are to customers that paid moar.

We probably agree on 90-99% of everything.  But the narcissism of small differences emphasizes the other 10-1%.   ;)

That's OK, it's more fun that way and keeps things livelier.    8)

Are early September Day1, Day2, and Day3 summer pre-orders going to have any advantage over the October orders?

Day 1 and Day 2 are September delivery orders.
