Are you referring to this thread or is there another? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102181.0

Thanks!

Temporary suspension of trading for user protection ?

I can't give a good ETA until I know when I have settled in with my new job.
It looks like I will have time to get this all together next weekend but I can't promise anything.

I offer this as a favor to the community. I am not in it for profit, if you want faster and effecient shipping I recommend to pick another retailer as I have stated from the start.
If you want a refund just send me a pm and I will give it to you right away.

Speaking of which I've asked this a few times in the ASICMINER thread to no avail maybe you can help me here, but is there any update on when board members will actually be receiving these promised boards? When they started selling them I believed they would be arriving any day now or some announcement about it but no. The company is now valued at >100mil$ So I'm kindof curious as to what is causing the delay in rewarding board seats. I bought these as opposed to direct shares so as to get access to a small amount of extra hashrate from the pooled shares and if we aren't going to be getting any hardware I'm considering withdrawing to direct shares so dividends go straight to my bitcoin wallet instead of having to wait on Weexchange/pass through confirmations. (no offense intended DeaDterra I think you've done an excellent job on this passthrough and I've been very pleased owning shares) just don't see the benefit personally without the board member hardware as I'm not planning on selling soon so I don't really need the extra liquidity a passthrough provides.

An other question should be asked I think.

If everything goes fine and they can start producing, what will be the capacity of mass production? 10 20 50 miners a day? This would be important for shipping time...

YEEES, finally somebody who understand what I mean.)

so if KNC declare low price and describe product as some sample, all guys outside EU will pay lower, then guys inside EU, which are pushed to pay VAT from real price.

Yep
Which is why it feels a bit weird celebrating after gymnasium. I guess it is stuck from the old times when almost no one had higher education.

You guys are sounding like you have their ASICs already. Did I miss something?

No mate, I just stood back, observed, researched, did due diligence and then stood back and sized it up again...

It's my cash to be risked, as much as anyone else's, in most cases I know due to the nature of some of the work i've done, i've physically struggled harder for it than most(if you knew some of the crazy things I've done since leaving Uni)...so it's exceptionally more painful for me to be irresponsible with it!

Aside from that there was lots of noise from people who have been burnt on this board and obviously distrustful, but then there are scams and there are genuine people the trick is;

IF...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

I noticed that on their linux machine, they even had a seperate console utility to monitor the status of all the FPGAs (temp, current, power usage etc), this means that they have a whole suite of FPGA related design platform, and they just fit bitcoin's hashing function into that platform

And they said they are not going to have an ASIC prototype, just replace the FPGA with standard cell ASIC and direct go for mass production. I think this is risky, without a prototype, how can they sure all the heat and power usage fall in a reasonable level? Unless they have done this many times before, they might encounter what BFL experienced last year

As the Swede I feel responsible for explaining this weird phenomena.
When Swedes graduate at third year of Gymnasium,
We celebrate that we now are unemployed and without a job by jumping on a big truck, half naked, spraying beer on each other and everything that moves while listening to loud music.
It is just a normal day in Sweden xD

That is one sexy pole! I knew that KnC wasn't a scam from the get-go, but somebody had to play Devil's advocate.
