Orama peobably got waterboarded in koolaid after he spilled the beans on their "progress". That was the last bit of honesty we'll ever see from them.
It was his field report that made KNC credible and started the chain of events that lead to them taking multi-million dollars of pre-orders.
If his "preliminary design stages" post was the start of the end for KNC, then it's only fitting he was the one (probably unwittingly) to start that particular chain of events too.
Karma is a bitch
Karma Now ComingAvenger, I'm not disputing what you write about KnCminer, I'm neither pessimistic or optimistic about Bitcoin mining as a whole anymore, I would like some clarity before I make any decisions, however please can you do me a favour and give the personal attacks on O'rama a rest, it's pretty tiresome reading the personal attacks on him from you, and others.
He's in charge of communication, not the companies strategy and I'm very doubtful he has had any input into the direction the company is taking so I think it's unfair to put any blame on him.
Yes, I know he said that upgrade modules would be available, but I'm 100% certain that he is not to blame for them not being released and that at that point in time he was giving out information that was correct, so I think it is unfair to personally attack him.
He is not responsible for the data centre, nor "Plan B" either.
Further to this, people are really hypocritical when they curse his name in one sentence and then moan about no updates from him. If you were in his shoes would you want to come here and be bombarded with constant name calling, speculation and frankly mental conspiracy theories? I know I wouldn't!
I too am growing anxious about the lack of updates, not just from Kncminer but from various different companies, MtGox, Trezor, but I don't resort to name calling and trolling. When there is news I am sure we will be updated and O'rama will be back.
As for the conspiracy about the television piece, I think you're being ridiculous. Have you looked on their Twitter account lately? They've shared various news stories about their data centre and been pretty transparent.
Sorry if i sound really grumpy in here guys, but I don't like to see someone who's been really helpful before be publicly attacked for issues likely outside of his control and I'm sick of reading really retarded conspiracy theories that sound like they've been written by a child.
If you want answers to questions, aside from the obvious "When will the Neptune be shipping" then just email them, or even better pick up a telephone and call them. I've never had an issue speaking to anyone in their offices, I've always found all members of staff really helpful.
