... I hope this is no information you got from KnC because it can't be correct. Some semiconductor industry facts: 1) at the moment there is no 28nm fab at all in People's Rep. of China (they are of course working at building ten  ) 2) TSMC stands for "Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company", all there fabs including 28nm are in Taiwan3) The only 28nm GLOBALFOUNDRIES fab (former AMD production side) is fab1 located in Dresden, GermanySorry, yes, my bad about GF, although Taiwan is a long disputed province of the People's Republic of China. I clearly remember someone posting a wild guess about what will be the KnC fab. it costs me quite a few to find it but eventuallly I got it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232852.msg2584946#msg2584946it was buried into the 'orama openday report thread. it should be helpful hopefully  |

sure it seems a good thing to do, but I believe that it's up to @FeedbackLoop to do it since he raised the quest in the first place. I just wanna said that namecoin is SHA-256 based, again quoting wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency) : "@FeedbackLoop" did not raise the quest @WastedLTC raised the quest and @FeedbackLoop told him about the poll KNC did regarding alt coins. That said @FeedbackLoop would of course be interested in namecoin merged mining but he does not understand enough about the subject. Pity to hear about the missed "Kano deadline". Sorry @FeedbackLoop I didn't mean to misattribute |

Has anyone asked or know if the hosted KNC pool will be doing NMC merged mining? These should produce a solid amount of namecoins.
Don't know, they plan to do a multi alt-currency machine with memory for scrypt etc. at some point in the future after these Bitcoin ASICs are in the wild, so I dare say their pool will grow to accommodate, not sure if it will be in the immediate future, but if they do go multi-currency then they will want to make their pool attractive. quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namecoin: Namecoin is merge mined with Bitcoin, which means that a node can mine for both Namecoin and Bitcoin simultaneously at the same rate that they would mine just one.
Email them and suggest it. Let us know pls... sure it seems a good thing to do, but I believe that it's up to @FeedbackLoop to do it since he raised the quest in the first place. I just wanna said that namecoin is SHA-256 based, again quoting wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency) : SHA-256 proof-of-work. Namecoin is meant to act as a decentralized DNS, which would make internet censorship very difficult. Namecoin serves the .bit domain.

I have got this answer at 25.July from KnCMiners: Hi, Yes, new paid orders are expected to ship in October. However please be aware that your queue placement is based on payment date, not order date. Every order that has been paid for will ship as soon as it is produced. We do not batch ship our products. Med vänlig hälsning | Best regards Keith Gurnett Kncminer www.kncminer.comOffice: +46 8559 253 20 wrong thread? |

KnC, please explain. удалось выяснить, что у Джоша есть аккаунт в фейсбуке и он там пишет всякое.
например во вторник запостил фотку с каким-то хмырем, которого он называет "найс гай". Джош справа.
BFL & KnC represent! Sam is a really nice guy! exif header: File name : 556679_1403706953182518_251192158_n.jpg File size : 50926 bytes File date : 2013:07:30 16:46:50 Resolution : 640 x 480 Jpeg process : Progressive Comment : *? |

I'm glad this thread exists. I was curious about KNCminer as it is one of two 28nm ASIC producers at the moment ActiveMining (a.k.a VMC) is going with a Standard 28nm design. It'll be interesting who hits the market first and who hits their power and hashing targets. Both are using eASIC too which really evens the odds.
It'll be fun watching in September!
Firstly dunno anything about VMC but KnC's not using easic, secondly hashfast is claiming to use 28nm in their product. |

Hi Guys
We would like to say that. Yes....we did tape-out of the ASIC some time ago. The exact details of the ASIC schedule, volumes, vendor etc. is kept internal since it's very sensitive information towards competitors. The product development tasks are on-track."
We are still on schedule to begin shipping in September.
Thanks
KnCMiner Team
very well done guys |

We are organizing office tours of HashFast's San Jose office, to meet the team, see we are doing, Q&A with engineering, networking, etc. To coordinate, please send your availability to samantha@hashfast.com. opendays@hashfast!it's a pity that I live on the other side of the world imho it's good thing that hashfast is taking this route, keep up the good work guys.. kudos |

Anti-Ignore system ^  works great! my first ignored user:  ROTFL, clever indeed |

Paypal and KnC probably agreed on a new higher alarm/block account threshold on June 4th and they passed that new threshold. It will probably be fixed within a day. makes sense! I'd have thought it before. thanks So KnC is just too succesfull, you gotta stop ordering !!
yep, if your theory is correct this means they surpassed their selling goals. Or maybe they just forgot to rearrange a higher threshold with paypal after having launched Mercury  |

Yes, this is old news, it was blocked the very first day. Too much money suddenly flowing to a previously inactive account. I'd be surprised if they did not have similar problems with their regular bank account. When you are a new company which is a joint venture of two small companies that suddenly receives millions in small payments from all over the world there are some alarms that go off. As you said you're referring to paypal problem they had the very first payment day ( https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-13, June 4th), problem that KnCminer managed to fix quite promptly (announcement https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-14). It seems strange that it is happening again though. |

Be careful, no specs on the miner and no working model of the miner and they want to collect big bucks. Tradehill probably will definitely side with them in any disputes. I'm more than careful, but also if I were crazy I wouldn't have 500K bucks to spend Anyway the thing that really amaze me is that Simon Barber, http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonresume, is confirming announcement's validity. |

No, he means competing companies are bound to appear, as are new buyers of the technology they produce, that is inevitable, as it is that KnC will also gain new custom. It makes no difference to you as to which competitor the next guy goes to, as that is your competition regardless of whether they purchase from KnC, or another competitor...
So I was slow got it thanks as I already said I agree, but still there's something that I can't grasp let's say that between now (t0) and t1 there will be 10 new ASIC makers, each will contribute to the net hash rate by the same amount. So every new ASIC miner will provide 10% of the of the hashing power added in the t0-t1 period. Suddenly a new player came along, with a "time to deploy" that seems much lower than any other players. This new actor will be there with its new miners just a few moments after t1. let's say a month. it is said that this new player will add almost 3 times the hashing power of each of the previous ten actors. its miners will have competitive prices. Unless I'm completely nuts it seems to me that I will take longer to get my ROI due to the presence of this new player, am I wrong? Sure, Uniquify could be approached by other people rather than Simon and John, but from what I can see this seem a quite unique (no pun intended) combination of talent/knowledge no ? |

Hey guys! I just wanted to pop in and say that I have been in contact with HashFast for the last couple of weeks and from what I can tell they are very professional and legit. I vouch for them and their product! I wish them all the best with launching the miner Best Regards //DeaDTerra I'm really glad to hear that! thanks for sharing! pardon me if I'm too demanding, but which kind of contacts did you have with HashFast? (just don't respond to me if you think I should mind my own business ) |

not quite, IMHO. if HashFast will sell a significant amount of miners at a competitive price obviously difficulty will increase faster than expected, so our time to ROI will become longer, no?
I see no difference between a competitors effect on ROI vs the effect of hashing from KNCminer boxes that come online after yor receive yours. sorry maybe I'm slow, but you're saying that as long as KnC will deploy faster than HashFast there will be no difference on KnC 's customers ROI ? |

A 400watt chip, that's should be interesting to cool. Is the price and model information released? not yet Obviously theses systems are coming to market after KNCminer is scheduled to ship, so that wont be an issue.
