I think a simple slogan maybe.
Mine, all mine.
As for knowing that KnC don't have chips ? Really? How do you know they didn't get them this morning? Because they didn't bleat about it on a forum? Maybe the day they DO get chips (or did) they thought of more important things to do with them? They could have them in hand any day now, or have them already. Maybe a quick test and a pic of an assembled module or real performance data from that would prove to be a better laxative to their competitors in their eyes?

Having said that you can be sure that Gen1 ASIC devices based on 1XXnm technology will reach their "electrical breakeven point" (EBP) a lot sooner than the one based on 28nm tech. see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281279.0quoting the relevant table just for clarity's sake: Specs Process Eff (J/GH) [1] Diff (mil) Hashrate (PH/s) Pre-order availability (per manufacturer) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNC 28nm 1.8 [3] 11,600 83.0 Existing: Sept/Oct New: Oct Hashfast 28nm 0.8 25,100 179.7 Existing: Oct New: not accepting orders BFL (Monarch) 28nm 0.8 [4] 26,200 187.5 Existing: Feb New: [5] Cointerra 28nm 0.7 [2] 29,900 214.0 Existing: Jan New: Jan

There are still GPU miners with free electricity....ever heard of the term? seriously how many of them do have access to free[1] electricity? 100%, 90% or less? then you have to take into account that GPU isn't "application specific" whereas by definition ASIC devices are. [1] "free" is a strong word, e.g. take my case I have access to "free" electricity b/c I have solar panels, but I can assure you they are not free, nor in terms of initial investment and nor in terms of maintenance

Sorry dude, here only 1 rule applies now: Show me the chips! Go read Labcoin thread how people attacked on the announcement without proofs. KnC: Late to party!

sorry for being pedantic but small fee != free anyhow as you've already wisely said, time will tell.

sorry for being pedantic but small fee != free anyhow as you've already wisely said, time will tell. All valid arguments, I just want to point out that electricity efficiency is not YET the most important factor...

No KnC doesn't have chips on their hand, now. And you know it, doesn't you? And more to the point, we can't be 100% sure KnC will deliver on time, if ever. that's a fact. Having said that you can be sure that Gen1 ASIC devices based on 1XXnm technology will reach their "electrical breakeven point" (EBP) a lot sooner than the one based on 28nm tech. see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281279.0quoting the relevant table just for clarity's sake: Specs Process Eff (J/GH) [1] Diff (mil) Hashrate (PH/s) Pre-order availability (per manufacturer) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNC 28nm 1.8 [3] 11,600 83.0 Existing: Sept/Oct New: Oct Hashfast 28nm 0.8 25,100 179.7 Existing: Oct New: not accepting orders BFL (Monarch) 28nm 0.8 [4] 26,200 187.5 Existing: Feb New: [5] Cointerra 28nm 0.7 [2] 29,900 214.0 Existing: Jan New: Jan

According to KNC their efficiency is below 1.6 W/GH/s.https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-31

sure you're right, in fact DeathAndTaxes is waiting for clarification before updating this data point.

sure you're right, in fact DeathAndTaxes is waiting for clarification before updating this data point. Indeed i beieve D&T is factoring in PSU for an 'at the wall' figure. That said we don't know whether any of the other manufacturers estimations are 'at the wall' quotes, or not either. For the most part, i.e. those wth chips yet to be in hand, these are all simulated estimations, we just know that one still has margins applicable...

I'd imagine so. There are four moduar boards in Jupiter, two in Saturn, one in Mercury, so in my mind that makes sense.

they will have 28nm chips. Bitfury still only 50% of KnC power draw and already delivering

they will have 28nm chips. Bitfury still only 50% of KnC power draw and already delivering Bitfury at wall is around 1W/GH KnC Max at wall is 1.6W/GH Somehow I'm not seeing the 50% Would you prefer a 400GHs by Bitfury delivered in a week or a 400GHs by KnC early October? That is the question my friend...

That is the question my friend... That isn't the question, depends on cost. Would I pay $20,000 for a unit delivered now max 400GH or $7000 Delivered 30 Days from now with Minimum 400GH? Was it $20,000 priced? Don't forget that it exists

Was it $20,000 priced? Don't forget that it exists Bitfury 55nm ASIC by Reel (October Delivery)?? This are Asic Chip??
You are selling 3000 chip for Euro 45K?/ so Euro15 per chip or $19.5?? and each chip is 5gh/s??, so 3000 x 5gh/s = 1.5TH??
Amazing, July you charge E240K x $1.30 = $312k but October only E45K x $1.30 = $58.5 ?/ Opps this are all Euro.
$19.50 per chip of / 5gh/s = $3.90 per gh/s is very reasonable I would say.
But your full kit is expensive - 400gh/s for $9750 is $24 per gh/s.
I would go Bitfury mate, sorry... EVEN NOW I would prefer October BF than October KnC because a chip exists 100%. EDIT: BTW missed both these trains, oh well...
