KNC Looking rather stale with all the other competitors coming out and eating their power numbers.
KnC has a two month lead time, though. And we don't know what their final power numbers will be either.

Can't wait to see news on units beginning to ship.
OP, does the $129 shipping fee cover shipping the unit(s) safely to Australia?
Are you on track with meeting your October / November shipping schedule?
Thanks,

Im over in Kona my self. Buggah. I was hoping you were Hilo-Side. Hey Phoenix, what island are you on? If you're on Oahu, we've got all the major islands covered except for Maui because I'm at the top of the island chain. Yeah, I'm finalizing my Solar PV install with Haleakala Solar. Gonna have to try to deal with our gnarly electricity rates somehow. I also bought mining shares with ASICMiner to hedge against hardware depreciation & mining power loss due to network growth. May have to shift to pure mining pool shares once I build up enough BTC & if it becomes too expensive to run my mining gear on order. BTW, I was interested in KnC or BitFury. If you feel like selling a share or some shares I'd be up for committing $1.5-2K to help pay for one of your miners. I'd help with electricity, of course. I was going to do my own pre-order on a Mercury soon but since you have a early pre-order I wouldn't mind helping out on the costs you're already committed to. No pressure, just something I thought of right now.

B.I. (Big Island) Right by Volcanoes National Park. I can see Pu-u O-o Vent glowing Pele's Red Madness from my house. Most of my immediate family lives on Maui... Where I moved from. (was paying $1,200/mo for a studio) I was easily able to buy land & build here. 3 acre lots are still available under 20k

All things considered, I may move to or just set up an office in Mobile, Ala, where electric is still .08, and Sirloin isn't $23/lb(Barring Safeway's GMO Beef) Anything over 3 jupiters would pay for the rent just in electrical cost offset @ 650/mo for typical office space)
energy cost in Alabama is above the national average the cheapest cost of living when giving extra weight to utility prices would be in texas and oklahoma

Yes, but Pele might take your land & the coqui frogs will drive you nuts!

Yes, but Pele might take your land & the coqui frogs will drive you nuts! Actually, I'm a bit protected from Pele's fury, as there are a few hills in between... (Barring a shift in the tradewinds)as for the Doggone little bastard Coqui Frogs... Yeah, they are seasonal fortunately this high in altitude, they die back every winter. It's common for us to get 45-50 degrees(F) at times during the night. The orchids love it, my bones don't.

'alabamapower', probably some BS. i live in a rural area in NE texas, my elec ranges from 6.8c to 8.8c, with it being at 7.3c right now. it's highly dependent on natural gas prices... which probably won't go up a whole lot, considering the new shale fields being discovered every month ed: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/45d75ad0-fe7f-11e2-97dc-00144feabdc0.htmlhaha

This thread has gone to shit. I guess it's because there really isn't anything to talk about until September.

OP, does the $129 shipping fee cover shipping the unit(s) safely to Australia?
Are you on track with meeting your October / November shipping schedule?
Thanks,
Yes the $129 is for shipping, but remember you will be paying a 10% customs duty on the value of the goods at the time of purchase and another $50 customs fee on every package. Also, remember that the customs duty is on the value of the goods at time of purchase so if the Australian dollar drops any more than you pay even more for duty.

Something I wasn't aware of, but should have known, thanks for the heads up, you're nickname really does say it all, in this case Damn customs! - Just as long as I get my package!

That's not quite accurate. The entire VAT will be at checkout. Customs doesn't make a business of holding packages "Hostage" for duty fees, as most international shippers require all that at checkout, and are paid well in advance of arriving to customs. In this case, It's UPS, and I know that's their policy. http://www.ups-scs.com/international/customs_broker.htmlIf you had actually bought a miner from KNC, you would not have missed the VAT section
