First KNCMiner update on queue position:
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-18

To every person that bought a pre-order.

you are the one of those who still do not understand it. i am 99,99999% sure that this statement is for the 1-500 spots in the 7 days window :-)

Well, being among the first 10 rather than 800 could easy translate to a couple of days or even weeks. Worth a couple of btcs? Depends on order size, but most probably yes

I understand that 890 guys bought a fast and power efficient ASIC that will last longer then any other existing ASIC.
Even if you "lose" 1 month of mining, because you didn't had a low pre-order number, on a long term, you will still mine lots of bitcoin.
Also I received an email monday coming from KNC that said :

As far as we can see everyone who has paid within the first 7 days will be shipped in September/October.

I think this is why kncminer is wondering why someone like BFL just didnt port their fpga over to asic like they are

Agreed. It certainly matters whether you are first in line or last. KnC will have a finite assembly and shipping capacity per day and early orders will get shipped earlier. Otherwise, why not just wait until KnC ships in September/October and order then?

Im sorry if this has been said before, I did use the search function on this thread to try to find my answer on shipping and import tax.  Just because I am a bit confused, rebelrat said that VAT doesnt exist for the US, another had said there was no import tax, but a solid number on the cost for shipping a KNC miner to the US is not established.  Is there any assumptions or speculation as to what the final cost would be to ship a Jupiter or Saturn from Stockholm to the US?  Thier site states that all shipping costs will be passed onto those who purchase. 

I have never ordered from EU before, so I am a bit unsure.  Thanks!

VAT doesn't apply to US orders, but you will need to pay a small < 1% import merchandise fee.

For those who is interested.

thanks for the info. this is quite precious. if memory serve someone looking at a picture taken during the first openday has speculated about the use of structured asic chips from easic.

I found the post I was referring to

That's interesting. They wanted to charge me $160. (I chose pickup.)

Yea why guess when you can ask If someone got some specific technical questions i can route the through and we see what comes out of it.

sure as soon as I'll get new ones I'll let you know. unluckily I'm not a tech guy, or at least not an expert in micro electronics

890 machines or 890 people or 890 orders?

Great... Just hope that the majority was after you in the pre-order queue.  I am pretty sure that I am at the end of the list with a pre-order in the 1700s. 

Just hope that manufacturing goes quickly as well as shipping...

Ok, maybe a stupid question.

Does anyone know if KNC is charging us the importation costs associated with importing to the US, or will we have to fill out some form and send it to the docks so that our purchases will not be held up in transit?
