How about KNCminer producing a die shot (image of its chip) increasing the likelihood they will ship devices September thru Novermber before claiming they will stop shipping December thru February?
Unlikely, as they are going straight from chip manufacture, to production, also perhaps to retain competitive advantage. No doubt such a shot will surface in due course... You would know better since you met with them. I hope you are right... |

New Mining Hardware Calculator from Genesis Block.. Is this correct? Says my Saturn will earn me $16,800 ROI in 21 days.. Starting in Sept..  I wouldn't say it is right. Their default difficulty increase per month is 35%, who know what the real number will be, but it seems optimistic. Could easily have 3 adjustments in a month... Not saying it should be 80% or anything like that, but 35 seems low. |

You would know better since you met with them. I hope you are right... Mate all I know, as the others who were there can confirm, that they are literally taking delivery of chips, and assembling with some tweaking whilst they send out untweaked prototypes to devs to ready their software. I imagine they will show chip pictures as they arrive, but it, as far as I was told will be literally days, if not a few weeks before they are in your hands. They certainly aren't faffing around with media freebie BS like BFL have over delivering to paying customers as promised. That crap rattled my cage when I saw Butterfly Labs prioritise journalists that had no clue about Bitcoin or related mining hardware over customers who have literally stood around patiently for months, and I made sure to raise that at the time! |

Anyone also really enjoy the fact that they sent out a mass email about it? Rather than posting in some obscure web forum in the middle of a 100 page thread of rabble so that no one can find it?
Yes And would not expect anything else from a serious company. Hmm. I didn't get such an email... :s |

This is fantastic news. Here's what it comes down to. Knc is going to protect our ROI by selling not in batches but time-periods, giving breathing room. Like when Avalon announced chip sales, that was a surprise to everyone. Similarly, would batch-2 have sold well if they knew batch-3 was coming and coming right on their heels. It is, yet again, a sign that Knc is a step above everyone else out there. As for this gen-2 device they plan to sell in March--wasn't I just talking about them doing this ^_^ If these guys plan things right, they'll form a bandwagon that we can jump on. Imagine if they keep delivering in six month cycles. They'll blow everyone out of the water. Even Asicminer will have trouble keeping up and may falter. And if they keep bringing customers along, wow. It's a good time to be mining. --- Breaking news, they just updated with Bitcoinorama's write-up: https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-19Independent Review Our first set of opendays have now been completed. We will do many more of these as things continue to devlop. For people wishing to read the report it can be found on the link below at the bitcointalk forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232852.0 We would like to thank all of the attendees for coming and we hope you all found it useful Thanks KnCMiner team |

Or even maybe three month cycles with other pow between the six month sha256 cycles? |

What does this mean? Just hoping that they would come out with their scrypt miner before march. |

I know its been talked about, and they list something on their Web site, but is there a known size of the Saturn? L W H in inches???
Just trying to figure out where I will put it in my home office

I always tought about inches instead mm , what led me to current mm size (Even 160*160*200 doesn't lead to new sizes just by converting ) |

I had a June 25th paid order, and my status still says New(Payed) on the order screen and just 'Status:Paid' on the order tracking.
Didn't they say they were going to update the remaining orders with days or weeks?
Anybody have dates that ordered later than I did?

You'll have to wait the end of August for a estimated shipping week. |

LTC is the best and it's got about 5% of the market cap that BTC has. I think there would be huge money to be made with a KNC scrypt miner. If they were to take preorders after current orders started arriving... Well I think it would be huge. The ASIC market seems like it is about to be so saturated. |
