Just a little bit of info regarding KnC They contact ckolivas and myself at the end of May regarding cgminer and related information. They then stated they'd be sending (in July) mock up devices (with an internal RPi) for us to work with on cgminer, then in September the real (faster) devices to tune cgminer to. I have, however, heard nothing since, but no doubt expect to hear something soon. I'll keep everyone posted if anything happens ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I've been waiting 5 days for a reply (to an email I sent Marcus and Sam) from KnC about their status ... still no response ... Could it be that they do not want to answer you, until they have a exactade shipping date. To not lie. But next Tuesday not have answer would be a bit worrying. I do not want you to think I'm a Fanboy. I acknowledge the work done by ckolivas and you.

I ordered a KnC Jupiter a while back. One thing I've been thinking abut recently: Are these miners likely to be safe to leave unattended? I mean....I do need to leave the house once in a while. I wouldn't want to come back from shopping to find my house has burnt down. Unattendance recommendations?

If they are certified they will be. If not, you takes your chances. These kind of products are not pop up toasters, they are intended for people with a bit more hardware knowledge than the average consumer. I would suggest that no miner I have seen is consumer friendly, not even a GPU board, had many of those go up in smoke mining.

They were also the ones who contacted us originally, not the other way around.

Look it up. I mentioned this, and warned people before about quick replies in July. Don't expect quick replies in July. Skeleton Crew.

If they are certified they will be. If not, you takes your chances. No, if they're not certified, they're in violation of innumerable import and local codes and regulations, just like both BFL and Avalon are in hot water with the German customs, and you won't have it in your house. Yes, overall, though, we all takes our chances in everything in life. I don't know about other people, but I wear my tin foil hat to help deflect meteorites in case I get hit by one.

If not, you takes your chances. its an electronic, it has a fire risk. whats to explain? just common sense as with most electrical products.. eg. don't place news paper on top of unit. don't block air vents and/or fans don't let kids near them. I think they better include a user manual stating risks and proper use of product just to be on the safe side.

So at least if the house burns down, the insurance covers it.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

I asked them about user documentation just a little while ago. They have indicated it will be available later this summer. Keep in mind that you will supply the PSU - this is the most likely part to cause issues. If you put a cheap one in your rig and it fries the rest of your hardware or causes a short - then don't blame KnC, you caused the problem yourself. /cet

Some useful info on hosting I received from email inquiry,
Hello Sam,
Just a quick couple questions for the recent hosting announcements, if we've previously selected shipping with our order can we change that to hosting?
Also do you expect hosting to be operational at the same time of the original shipments in September?
Hi,
There will be an option to use the shipping payment towards hosting fees when we start taking payments for hosting closer to the shipment start.
Orders that are expected to be shipped a certain week will also be ready for hosting that week.
Thanks Emilia
