@10,000 chips per group buy that = a potential 76 group buys!!!
Jspielberg was the forum member that confirmed this...
I'd assume about 200-400k are from group buys and another 150k from companies that plan to sell assembled units with a 200% profit margin. Isn't it irrelevant though? We know that there are 760k chips being made and added to the network around August, that's all that matters when making projections. What is much more of an issue is whether BFL ships and to what ends; additionally if there are any other manufacturers/groups working in the background that add a lot of units. I tried calculating ROI with 100 and 200m difficulty, that's where I expect it to be around October; but then it's all worthless anyway, it's pretty much impossible to project ROI since the price is going up and down all the time and the smallest news leave a huge impact. You can make estimates of difficulty but by the time KnCMiner ships the BTC price could be anywhere between $.1 and $600, and this is true all the same after you receive the miner, but it has an even worse effect; if BTC crashes then, you have no possibility of getting your money back. Dude, there's also ASICminer for sure, potentially Bitfury as well. BTC price I see floating between $100 and €100. Until they break through another psychologically important milestone. Perhaps --> ASICs --> more confidence investing in the currency because of a more secure and efficient network --> more vendors and merchants excepting the money transfer --> consumer confidence/interest --> etc.

I know about those two, but neither of those will have as big of an impact as BFL would if they actually fulfilled a large portion of their orders. Of course saying that that's highly unlikely is an understatement. I don't really expect ASICs to increase confidence though, if anything, the relative stability of the btc price might do it. Of course, if nothing horrible happens in the coming months to bitcoin, it's definitely not going to drop too much either way.

Yep, same here. I guess only a limited number of units are needed to add confidence that they are serious...

Yes, it also appears you can no longer pre-order... The site has 'add to cart', and 'checkout' functions, but adding to cart is not quite functioning yet...

Front page has had one of the three sliders how images removed, though the Mars prototype picture is there.
FAQ harps had an update, mentioning ex-VAT in pricing and office location (the same as the ORSoC Stockholm HQ);

Indeed, it has a few flaws. I suppose they want to open orders sometime around the open days.

Yeah it's a bit glitchy it goes from, shipping cart empty, to having an orders, to empty, in any case nothing to pay. The checkout gives a choice of UPS courier; $240.80 for next day delivery to the UK, or 'Stockholm Pickup' $0, as the delivery options. Bank Transfer, Paypal and Bitpay appear to be the payment options...

EDIT: MAT542, odd...I also was given a no-vat price at completion....still don't understand the pre-ordering?! Presumably none of this is complete and live?

I believe that the price did include VAT originally. KNC picked up the "enthusiasm" and decided to add that later. Think about it...on all mining rig sales, do you see prices listed without VAT or targeted at "professional miners" only? I would still like to know how many of KNC's orders are from "professional miners"

They're actively updating each EU countries individual tax surcharge on the site as we type. So if we hang 5, the VAT should be added on another pass.. There will be an official announcement later, apparently..
