I came here to check for KnC updates and just found a bunch of posts about some dream everyone's apparently having.

Can I recommend that we start a separate "I had a dream that KnC shipped" thread?

I'm a bit worried about kncminer's speed, the name of mars, saturn, jupiter sounds like a space project in 1970's and you know they usually have years and years of delays Grin

I think the current trend in IT fashion is something contains following: X, Alien, nano, bio, psy

Quantum could be the next big thing. I'm asking some friends in university of the posibility of a quantum miner, seems these researchers totally have no idea how a real application should be implemented. But D-wave's solution need absolute 0 degree, not very practical

Trying to find an answer but had issues.

When I make an order, I get a confirmation email.
When do I get a request to pay? (Paypal selected)

I already missed out once (original order) because I don't read these forums enough Sad.

I'd contact KnC ASAP to probably select safer money transfer like CC or bank wire.  If you use Paypal you money could be held for while with no one getting access to funds.

I think something strange is happening with eBay/Paypal relating to mining hardware.  See post below.

Does anyone know more about this matter.

You don't get a request for Paypal.
Go on your KNC account, look in your "Order history".
You will see your order, select more (on the right) and you will see "Payment method:PayPal", with a payment button next to it.

Indeed, Paypal has been a little promblimatic if you have an address format it is not familiar with; say an Oriental address. It may take a few attempts in that case for Paypalto recognise it, if it is giving you problems.

The other thing is the credit card has to be billed to the delivery address or no dice...

I initiated a PayPal "eCheck" payment on Sunday night, and as of this morning (Wednesday) my order status on KnC's site has changed to "Paid", so perhaps the PayPal thing is hit or miss right now.

All I know is Paypal is not a big fan of the continent of Asia, big ticket items that aren't paid from verified credit cards with product delivery to their exact billing address, or irregular payment history.

These were all teething issues KnC had, and presumably Terrahash is having right now.

News update
Main PageNewsCommon

It’s time again for another newsletter from us. Today’s newsletter will have the following sections
Performance improvements to Jupiter and Saturn
Power usage
Unpaid orders
Lottery results
Queue position update
 

Performance improvements to Jupiter and Saturn

 
Here at KnCMiner we have always stated that the final performance of our machines has not been set in stone. We simply do not want to overpromise and then have to correct ourselves later.
The performance increase that we can announce today is based on direct feedback from the chip manufacturer who have been working with us for some time now. They have come back to us confirming the performance improvements in our RTL code.
So it is with great pleasure that we can finally announce our Jupiter is now a 400 GH/s device and therefore Saturn is a 200 GH/s device.
We are now so far down the chip development path that we can safely reveal these figures. There will be further announcements from us about the chip manufacture soon, and we will keep you all informed of all progress
 
Power usage details

 
We have previously specified the power consumption of the Jupiter device at a 1000 watts. We have now received indication from our chip manufacturer that this may be lower.
This is where we need to refer you to our statement of under promise and over deliver.
So until you hear from us again on this, we would like to reaffirm that Jupiter will be less than 1000 watts and Saturn less than 500 watts.
 
Unpaid orders

 
There has been some confusion about our ordering process. While we may admit that the pre-order registration, 7 day payment window, and even the wording on our site have added to the confusion.
 
We would like to make it clear that orders which are not paid will not be given a place in the shipping queue until they are successfully paid for.
All orders are kept in your account history and we have not removed any active (New) orders. We will shortly begin removing any unpaid orders from our system if they remain unpaid for more than 7 days.
 
So for those of you that have been confused by the order/queue/payment process. You will have a few more days to pay for your orders before they are removed. If you have any concerns on this please email us at info@kncminer.com
 
Lottery results

 
The lottery has now been drawn. The winners have been announced, with their permission on our webpage www.kncminer.com.
 
Queue position update

 
We know you have all been waiting for the shipping queue position update and over the next few days we will be adding a comment to your orders which will give you the day that your boxes will be made, tested and shipped.
For example Day 1/Day 2/Day 3. This will indicate how far from the start of shipping your order will dispatched. This update will not apply to new orders and will only apply to the orders which were based on pre-order registration. All other orders will be dispatched in the order of payment.
 
Chip Progress report

 
The more technical audience amongst our customers have been asking for a lot details on the chips we will use. The information we have available to you today is that Jupiter will be a 4 chip design and Saturn a 2 chip design.
This means that we can achieve a minimum of 100GH/s per chip. Which we think most people will agree, puts us far ahead of our current competitors.
Our ASIC package selection has been optimized, allowing the use of a smaller package. The selected package is a 55mm x 55mm HFCBGA package (2046 ball count), optimized for maximum thermal characteristics.
 
Further news

 
We are still on track to meet our deadlines of shipping the first boxes in September. We will be providing regular updates in newsletters here and on our site. www.kncminer.com so keep checking regularly so you don’t miss out on any updates.
Thanks
KnCMiner team

I really envy the optimism all of you have. I still do not see the answer to the important question:

Was the chip order placed? Do we have an ETA for the chips confirmed by the fab?

Again, all this "good news" are nice, but as this is a time sensitive project I would appreciate an update on the schedule. I need to know if they already placed the chips order and when they are going to receive. If the order is not placed yet, they will be late.
