Here seems you can buy hashpacks.
any feedback? I see a post in russian, but I can't read..will try translator

I'm using it.... works as advertised except Gox fucked up a trx and I'm waiting for btc to come through to buy more hash power.  Considering that its cheaper than buying block erupters but u get 3x the hash power its by far a better deal than  bit fury and any basicminer products like the blade or block erupter.  If you have coin you could buy hash power for a few weeks then sell it back...it makes a method for you to earn interest on btc...but I say keep an eye on it I could see great losses if I try to sell it for too low.

What a roller coaster ride it has been

We went from the last to enter the ASIC mining market crowd-funded by the community to the first to shipping a consumer product in little over 4 month. On this journey, many mistakes were made, tons of things were learned and we will continue to grow as one of the groups to keep mining decentralized and support the DIY community. Those are our goals.

In the up coming week we will doing a clearance sale on the refunded chips as well as some mining units and modules to close generation one and move on to a pre-sale-less generat

You have .28 BTC in your post title, but the site says .028 ($4 instead of $40)

You may want to fix that, and I'll remove this post when you do, so no need to quote it or respond.

HELL YEA I wasn't interested but now that you explained the typo this seems promising.

I used to use the blockchain mobile wallet but it was glitching pretty bad for me...did you use a mobile wallet?  Did you use an unsecured network like public Wifi?  Did you happen to use a wireless connection?  Did you manually type in the private key or copy/paste it?  I would say Keylogger or man in the middle attack was the culprit.  Yes 2fa 2fa everytime if you ca

Hello Tony,

My name is                        .  I have never traveled to Asia and am from the USA.  However I am a bitcoin enthusiast.  I had no idea that your company existed...but I heard of your company through the bitcoin talk forum.  I am simply one person but I do have a fair bit of bitcoins and would be willing to use them, down the line, particularly if there were real world services that accepted them such as airlines.

I have seen 3rd party travel agents that likely accept btc and convert it to local fiat currency to spend.  This is okay, but larger companies definitely need to be more forthcoming and accepting of this concurrency in order for adoption to happen faster.

By accepting bitcoins your company can gain several advantages -

lower transaction fees

quicker acceptance of funds ( an hour as opposed to one - two settlement days with credit cards )

it is a one way transaction that cannot be reversed or erased

its secure

your company would be a first mover that is known for supporting the cryptocurrency economy...more users would flock to you for adopting usage and

you could see an entire new segment of customers with disposable bitcoins (like me!) 

if you choose to not cash out the bitcoins now, you could allow them to sit and appreciate to a higher price which would allow you to gain substantially from the increase in value.

I am just one individual but I am going to participate with bitcoin talk in spreading the word to others to ask that they reach out to you to consider accpeting bitcoins.  Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

On Bitcointalk as Frankenmint

you will never see a machine that can deliver consistent ROI ready off the shelf...Its called market efficiency to self correct.  People will use up their past roi to throw money into the bubble until either the asic mfgs jack the price up too high too soon (whats happened between April and Now)  or until too many new competing asic vendors come around and btc mining hardware is overproduced as a result.  Diff will always become skyhigh when hardware is quickly available with substantial ROI.  I think Value of hardware relates to the price of btc also which explains the hardware price jumps back in March. 
1330  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: To All ASIC Miner Manufacturers on: September 27, 2013, 11:49:45 PM
You say these things but... people will always hope "what if..." and buy preorders anyway. Why do you think Nigerian scammers still try and scam? Because some people fall for it; and some is all they need.


I used to ignore you (I don't now after reading the block erupter blade guide) but overall you're cool folks.  I'd say that the nigerian scam happens because that is all they can realistically get away with there.  Try that shit on a local their and you're likely to get something like your head chopped off.    I only buy preorders on stuff like GTAV (yea i know pathetic) but in the asics game...you don't really have a choice.  Its as the fry gif says "shut up and take my bitcoin!!!!!!"  You try to be smart about it and you end up gettting passed by folks who are riskier than you and willing to get in line to get their hardware up and running before you.  All of us who talked shit about people who bought block erupters that had been hashing since 2011...they obvously saw that the savings from power was worthwhile to buying up the Block erupters...and that having the btc to be able to buy them up in bulk allowed them to also participate in the re-seller pyramid which kept prices high.


Its just like this - would you pay for 500 GH in Early november or would you pay the same amount for 2 TH in January?  Which would win?  Because there is a moving target and the difficulty instantly becomes skyhigh once a majority of preorder has been delivered towards the end of Dec, that 2 TH in January is now akin to 250 GH that would have been preordered at the time you bought the 400 GH.  ( I don't have concrete data or details as Im armchair calculating this )

Looking for compelling reasons to disagree with the above mentioned statement.

1332  Bitcoin / Hardware / KNC Ships their batch in 5 days, 10 days, 15 days? on: September 27, 2013, 11:12:27 PM
If they do continuous shipping....do you think it will be unloaded all at once or in these increments like I noted?

I cannot remember how to calculate the difficulty nor what the expected addition to the network is (I keep seeing 500 TH thrown around)  I would say then break down the distribution equally (in theory it will happen organically with some happening on some days an a bunch happening on others)  I know though that if its all dumped at once it will more quickly hit difficulty level as opposed to over a 3 week period.

Is this question pointless?  why yes it is  Grin

Sorry Guys (Megabigpower).  This is my emailed response on Shipping units for USA sales:

"
Hi XXXXXXXXXXXXX,
 
We expect to begin shipping by the end of  2nd week in October but I do not have an exact date to give you. We do however expect our process to go fairly quickly and we will notify you when your order is ready to ship.
 
Best Regards,

Yvonne and the megabigpower.com sales team

Pffft!  I was hoping they'd mirror Putin's shipping schedule.  I sure hope my KNC order is delivered before then.  Sad


shit I wish they would shipem NOW NOW NOW!!!!! I wanna win a bitbet Gdamnit!!!!!!

1335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: September 27, 2013, 09:35:52 PM
yes but the nigerian prince didnt go through great lengths to make and scrap an fpga prototype, a webstore, a forum, have an open day to preview their premesis, nor create a chinese announcement about their new device that is supposed to debut in 48 hours.

By the way it was me...I'm not nigerian.....and you'd be suprised that I really used it to blackmail ppl and not necessarily scam them.
1336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: September 27, 2013, 09:29:49 PM
Here's a question - has anyone done the math to see what the profitability will be in switching over to an alt-coin early? I know for a good while when the difficulty was approaching unprofitability for GPU's other miners were able to make more profit mining alts, then trading them for bitcoin than they were just mining bitcoin.

Is it possible to use their devices for mining alternative coins?
Any proofs from manufacturer(KnCMiners)?
Somewhere I had read that impossible.
KnCMiners designed only for bitcoin mining.
No?

sha256 alts of course....scrypt or scrypt-jane NO
1337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: September 27, 2013, 09:28:40 PM
nah, they will make it, shipping starts very likely on Monday/Tuesday....you're either not up to date or trolling

They don't even have a fully working product yet.

God what a naysayer comment.  They have promised a country of over 1.351 Billion chinese folks a working demo live and hashing in less than 48 hours.  I think that by far trumps this teeny tiny infinitesimal bitcointalk thread.

just saying STFU puny single person lol
1338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: September 27, 2013, 09:18:49 PM
Don't want to be a downer, but I am thinking KNC is gonna flop hard just like terrahash.
nah, they will make it, shipping starts very likely on Monday/Tuesday....you're either not up to date or trolling


I know how you feel. ROI is looking very unlikely without deadline being missed. This just adds to that unlikelihood.

It's pie in the sky, but I have to imagine they know they absolutely must to pull this off. Its bad enough that they dumped the price by over 2K for what is now suppose to be just a month of lead time, but considering the lion share of KNC's money will in theory come from re-investors, they have to make sure they don't burn the initial investors. I'm not sure how they are going to do this but they are smart guys, they must know this has to happen to be long term solvent.

But then again, they have till Monday to show good on their promise, and we shall see by then if KNC can keep its promise, and by how much they intend to over-deliver.

they collected quite some money,
devices are way overpriced,
they could send 2xamount of hashing power ordered and would still make profit

...but guess what...we're living in a capitalistic world,
I do not except anything as 'compensation' - but would much appreciate it for sure

bet my bottom satoshi that their version of compensation is the 'substantial hashpower'

guys....we do need to relax...after Oct 14th, by all means grab your pitchforks.  Delivered in my eyes could also mean "I delivered to the world.....a 28 nm asic btc miner"  

did we lose our bitbets - sure we definitely did....but if we get units in week 1 october, its a major win in comparison to BFL or avalon post batch 1s.
1339  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: KNC Countdown for Shipment on: September 27, 2013, 09:06:28 PM
And if punin isn't joking about being ready to start shipping October orders shortly after the frist of October, it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks, difficulty increase wise.  It may be BF and KNC...

I missed that. Buzzdave's last thing seemed to imply the end of october. Ahh, the chinese curse Tongue

Dave has another 100TH mine to build so he will probably be late (I hope it is not the case).  August orders were pushed aside because building 100TH was a priority.  We're suppose to be paid/credited for the delay but so far I have not seen anything.  As for Octobers orders, he might surprise us this time, but then again, they already tasted the power of 50TH+ doing solo, so they might want to add 100TH+ to the current setup.

There is a "hashing war" going on right now.  BFL is doing its best to ship all of their gen1 products before they become completely unusable.
Once all bitfuries and bfls are out, that KNC miner might not be as hot as when you bought it.

The good thing is that by spring of next year, it will be all over.  Plenty of in-stock 28nm products (or equivalent) and 12 months ROI.  Just like GPUs.

That is why buying pre-orders (regardless of specs) does not make any sense.  Network diff might be 2PH, or it might be 200PH 3 months from now.

 

Ya know, I think this is the first time I've seen this. I'm a little stunned. Your post makes sense and I largely agree with you. Two things I didn't think would ever happen.

The pre-order game made sense a few months ago, if you could get in on the first wave. At this point, wait and see coupled with only buy "in hand" hardware seems a wiser game.

I couldnt disagree more - the buy in hand hardware and you are paying 2-10x what you should as there is a higher demand than supply for asics hardware.
