Just how realistic is that seeing it's nearly september already?
If they ship last day of September then you will have it October and they will still be compliant on their promise. Maybe Bitcoinorama then will use his precious CC for refund...but wait! Hmmmm... I see no red flag  |

I haven't canceled my order. Not sure how many of these have, but from forum comments it seems like few have asked for refunds. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249065.0At this point, I'm going to stick with them through the end of Sept. Now is probably not a good time for changing your mind, unless you want to invest in securities (which are probably even more risky). IF KNCMINER delivers on time, even later in September, you WANT to be first in line, as the profits are at the beginning of the queue, not at the end, and, given the low price of the miners, that's when you'll make the best part of your ROI. They're still a pretty big gamble, but the others are simply not shipping ATM. So it's like 50/50 vs 100% fail, unless you wait it out entirely. |

Considering October delivery, is it still worth it for me to place an order today for a Jupiter or Saturn? Will I at the very least see ROI?

Just got my full Jupiter refund. Took about a week or so?
I was so late in the game (October delivery) that I doubt my pullout will have any effect on the rest of your orders. I'll keep my eyes on the difficulty over the next several weeks as October approaches and will consider re-investing in the future. For now my August BitFury will suffice.
Did you pay bitcoin, cash, credit? If paid in bitcoin, did you receive a refund in bitcoin or cash? Did you get back as much bitcoin as you paid in despite exchange changes? |

I hope they are NOT LATE for Chip Delivery. Now No News on Chips Progress. Why talk about the PCB when without the Asic Chips nothing will work. Bitfury delay delivery to October. By now end of August 2013 still No News on Chip Progress. Why? Critical is the Chip not the pcb board.  |

Well if you got a Jupiter Oct 1 and you started mining right away ..(Roi 57 days)
http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/b90f2d07ffIf you got it NOV 1 then you wont see ROI http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/8ab0181416That's at the current bitstamp btc price approximately $112 not the goxed btc price. Of course its also guesstimating the difficulty climb. Maybe someone else can chime in .. im a bit biased as i dont think its a good time to by a miner. I was once critical of KNC but not so much now. They actually look good and as long as they can stick to the deadlines without hiccups they will have a good run at the asic space. |

That PCB looks nice and clean.
I don't have a KnC order, but it looks like a quality product. Getting excited for you lucky guys with Sept/October deliveries.

(possibly chip) 1/9 = Here's your fully assembled miner at our hosting site, have fun mining with it  |

Price of BTC goes up enough and you might lose more by cancelling an order than by following through with it. Plus tax consequences, as that might constitute 'sale' of bitcoin, thus taxes on gains. Luckily we're still in the black on profit. |

Or Paypal (Credit card) since I got my refund today. Haven't lost faith in KNC just I have one too many ASIC orders and don't think I should put too many eggs in the Bitcoin basket. |

http://www.lineagepower.com/oem/pdf/MDT040A0X.pdfMax efficiency at 0.6V out w/ 12V input - 84% Max efficiency at 1.2V out w/ 12V input - 90% Max efficiency at 1.8V out w/ 12V input - 92% And the whopper, 1.5ms typical rise in output current from 10% to 90%. Not very responsive for such a small converter, esp for switching at 400khz.

Join the club! Oh wait, you're already in the club. I have a feeling these knc miners will be more than 200/400 gh, they could be 300/600. Thoughts? |

I'd be happy with 175/350 if they shipped Sept. 1 |

But that's not why I came here to post. As you all know, I've been busy sticking it up BFL's ass. To date, I've had no reason to check what's happening in Camp KnC. I do have one request though: If at any time KnC refuses to honor refunds, would somebody be so kind as to PM me and let me know? Later, all. Bruno Kucinskas |

600 would be unreal. I mean from 100gh to 150gh per chip? That's a big jump.
I'm thinking maybe only 100-115gh so the end result for a Jupiter could be 400-450gh.
But it's all speculation. However KNC did mention the Jup has potential to be more than 400 and "way less than 1000w".
I think 400gh is just a "best guess" from past yields.

So far haven't seen anyone denied their refund yet. |

Bruno Kucinskas The guys are 200% professional, only if things really get ugly they may have issues with refunds. I do not think this will happen though. Maybe only some upset stomachs if they are missing their September deadline by 1-2 weeks. Worst but most possible scenario IMHO.. |
