We all have orders here, but some of us are acting like men and not a bunch of little pussies.

You make an important decision to invest your money, you lay that money down and you take a chance.
Real men don't spend the next 5 months acting like little bitches, crying and whining and second guessing themselves.

Stand up for your decision and wait patiently and quietly like the rest of the big boys.

If you want to be a pussy like Kuroth, ask for a refund and you will get it immediately...there is literally zero risk.


TL;DR? Man up and stop whining, your father probably should have slapped you more for acting like a whining little bitch when you were a child.

Exactly, thank you. If you're getting nerves at this stage in the game you were never a strong hand to begin with. We made a calculated risk months ago and it still looks like a smart move today.

Some of the people here are pathetically controlled by their own emotions and fears and acting irrational.

I myself, like others too, have had the experience of asking legitimate questions and immediately being condescended to and now name called by the regulars in this thread (i.e. pussies, bitches) hence the fan club moniker. Civility is a two way street. I hope KnC delivers on time and as promised as much as anyone else, but I'm not going to blindly let them hold thousands of dollars of my money and not ask a probing question here or there.

No, you're going to invest thousands of dollars and not do your own research. Instead you're going to ask questions answered dozens of pages ago to us who have done our due diligence, and you wonder why you're being condescended to, asking us to do your research for you?

I'm pissed, because can't believe, that KNC will fulfill their promise..we will see in 2 weeks™ who was right.

You have no evidence, at all, that they will be late. Yet you're pissed about your own fears.

You are a complete wuss, unable to control your emotions, and acting irrationally.

Guess it takes nerves of steel to roll with the big boys in bleeding-edge bitcoin mining. Have some of you actually lost sleep over this? The hell is wrong with you.

You lose sleep when you get other people involved in something you aren't fully confident in yourself as they have said they have.
Losing your own money is one thing, breaking even over time is fine too...but if you promised a large profit to a group of friends and they put money into mining to find it's not such a golden egg anymore...that's not going to be much fun is it? A lot of group buys are going to suffer in the coming glut of ASICs and what happens when they all come online...short term at least.

Living through the next month is going to be a learning experience for a few people on here. Still, they'll come out stronger if they hold their nerve and learn something valuable about themselves if they don't.

it's the same 8 trolls over and over with the same trolling and the same feeding to them

have you checked out soniq's groupbuys??  he sold shares to around 26 Jupiters so that must mean plenty of people on board with KNC yet this thread is the den of trolls

How much time (in general) is needed to pack the chips? From wafer to finsihed IC?

Week or two I reckon. Depends who, and how many are ahead of you in the queue, and when you made the order for packaging based on what the fab promised you with respect to their estimated wafer completion time.

I've been reading this thread since it opened -- but thank-you for illustrating my point.

Well, anyone who is afraid and wants to let go of his september/august order is very welcome to pm me. I will gladly take them off your hands. I hope that quells the thirst for paranoid shit out there.

I understand the Mercury in a box that can hold 3 more modules was simplicity.  Will upgrade modules be possible?  Something on the order of a snap-in box to add an additional module or will the initial module installation be it?

Again, for the illiterate and lazy: read the posts and the knc news. there was an upgrade kit. now there is not.

Why all the hostility?  Who is going to read >400 pages and the search function of this site sucks.  All the negativity and forum bashing is hurting sales more than helping...unless that is the point?  Why doesn't everyone get off their high horse and STFU if you don't have anything positive to say.

First: Where do you see hostility in my post? That is one of my nicer ones, actually, since I have half a bottle of wine in me. Makes me all fuzzy and warmhearted.

Then: if I search for "knc upgrade module" I pretty much find the information that there was a way to upgrade your order.  AND if I go to the KNC website and read the news section, I can clearly read that there was the option to upgrade.

Third: Why the fuck should I care about their sales? I am not affiliated with KNC, although I wish I would be with that revenue they will generate...

Finally: This thread is full of positive comments, you just can't find them because of all the dumb questions.

Don't expect civilized behavior from the bitcoin community. It's been ravaged by scams and greed. At least he answered your question. That's more than I would've expected.

Soy, they said they would offer upgrades for those with Saturns and Mercury, so I believe there will be, but it clearly won't be before the November shipment, which makes sense as all those purchasing those units bought for Sept-Oct delivery choosing whatever compilation of modules they wanted for then anyway. Just email and ask for clarification.

Keith from KNC says:

There has been a slight revision in our casing that we had neglected to previously explain.

The case has had an airflow improvement to ensure increased thermal efficiency.

We have ensured the hot air from the front two heatsinks is redirected, avoiding the rear chips, and is expelled from the casing by installing fins affixed to the upper casing section (despite appearing in the CAD as part of the lower section of casing). In turn this allows a sufficient amount of cool air exits to ensure a cooler operating environment for the rear heatsinks to operate comfortably.

[Mota]

Yes. Actually it is. Since it's the truth.

I quote: Who is going to read >400 pages and the search function of this site sucks.

I read them. All of them. And I am able to use the search function properly.
