Except that i can spend 4000$ (5 BTC) to buy a miner that nets 15+ BTC over a few months

Also a friendly reminder that selling BTC will get your ass raped by the IRS as it is an automatically reported transaction on several levels. 

If the exchanges are getting geared for the rules they are going to have to follow they will have to give you annual reports of your gains or losses for tax purposes

Good god. This post was started 11 day ago, at 266. Stop and think about that for a moment.

Picture was stolen off twitter...thought that was obvious. Did not expect that much reaction.

its looks like speed , you can see on he's bear shoes he cant affort cocaine.

Anyway it is nice to have few next places to spend Bitcoins on. I was worrying the price rise is just pure speculation, but it can drive the Bitcoin useability at web shops as well

I wish I could hold my money bit I have to cash out . I invested when the coins where 120 dollars . Now I can start my dream job finally. I'm opening few webshops wich I will accept bitcoins! Thanks bitcoin to start my life

No employees of KNC to be found.

No orders after order #19xx or pay date June 10th have shipped

Clearly there has been a huge gap in the shipping process. Seems like the line has stopped for many days.

Still calling for anyone who actually works for the company to show their face and tell us what is going on.

Hahahaha, those pictures of boxes, asses and people in white coats surely are a relief to me.

His box skills are lacking, I agree with that. He needs to twist the tape dispenser slightly left or right when he wants it to cut. If it that cardboard is recycled the tape will probably peel off.

Ok so let me clear a few things up from this side;

Firstly I have no beef with GMaxwell, he's always been prompt at responding to any issues I have raised where I have had the need to contact him. Last was a spelling mistake I think and he was v.sharp to correct and courteous. MiningBuddy has been equally proactive and polite.

Secondly, all prior testing was performed on the testnet as appropriate, however when it comes to actual proof to real customers that the product stands up and performs over a longer period it had to be to an account. Andreas and Sam are not desperate for a few hours worth of mining, and honestly it went to Vitali, the software engineer who finally resolved the bugs that had plagued them throughout the day. Seeing as he had only stood up to walk in a circle a couple of times in 24 hours, I doubt anyone would begrudge him that. Miner is offline now and being reviewed/optimised, whilst acceptable production is focused upon.

Thirdly, despite openly stating they will mine with upto 5% of what they manufacture, they aren't. If at any-point they do, it will be unlikely to occur prior to November's shipment. Quite simply they have sold all available boxes. They had to make a call as to what makes more long term sense. Ensure you have sufficient funds to progress with future generations, whilst ensuring there is a proportional float of chips in case of hardware error, returns, etc. The issue with selling out concerned the controller boards, and where the hell they ended up last week almost ruined what was achieved yesterday. More on that later, but in any case Mercury uses the same number of controller boards as Jupiter, one, but only one ASIC.

Finally aside the dev boxes and prototype board revisions, which will lead to an iterative ongoing improvement with respect t hardware, the only device in KnC's possession to 'mine for themselves' will be in the office foyer, and all coins generated from that will be going direct to charity. Which charity? Sam asked me to find one that accepts Bitcoins. I replied why not choose a known and respected one that has yet to adopt Bitcoins and kill two birds with one stone, by having another worth cause adopt Bitcoins as a payment avenue. Isn't there one close to your heart before I call around? And he stated that his little girl, now 2 years old, spent her first 56 days in intensive care at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet - Dept of Women's and Children's health - Neonatology - as she was born 8 weeks premature. This is one of the world's finest Neonatology wards and he feels indebted to them.

Do you have any proof for this..

Maybe it's a Texas thing.
