I had high hopes that Knc wouldn't not over promise and under deliver, but if they don't ship all September orders in September they really aren't much different than all the other ASIC hardware manufacturers, which is kind of sad.
hmmm...thats kinda bullshit to me. lets say say deliver at 5th october instead of 30th september. ok, everybody is dissapointed big time and we are flaming and shouting all day long. BUT to state that KNC would then be the same as lets say BFL or Avalon with their delays ranging from several months to over a year is just a little less than BIG bullshit.

I don't have a KncMiner pre-order, but may order from them in the future if they do what they say and say what they do. Simply stating that everything is fine and on time when they have to ship hundreds of orders to ship in two weeks and haven't even demonstrated a working chip is bullshit, but I'm sure you're looking at this situation through rose colored glasses. All they need to do is be honest, give updates, under promise, and over deliver. Being silent now and acting like everything is fine if they know they will be late (and they have to know by now) is simply unacceptable IMHO...

We should probly hear something from them this week. If I remember correctly I dont recall them saying that they will deliver in september. oo never mind but this is still a "Possible" Some may get there tracking numbers on the 30th. Finally we wish to confirm that yes we are still on track for our delivery towards the end of September. That tells me October.

Granted, we have yet to see what KnC is capable of doing. But the Bitfury group did pretty great with quickly shipping their orders. So it isn't impossible. Let's hope that KnC can repeat the miracle!
If I was a gambling man, I'd wager we will get news on chips early this week.

KNC, seriously, give an update or people are going to start bailing out. NOBODY is going to believe that you're too busy to post a 1-sentence update.

Personally I'd rather them be overt crooks and just lie, than be silent pussies (afraid to lie overtly but not afraid to just bury crucial information that their customers need).

It would take them 30 seconds to say "still on schedule". Edit: also, are these the only 2 guys? I certainly hope not. What happens when the boards arrive? I hope they don't expect these 2 guys to build a datacenter and assemble boxes at the same time.

I'm not freaking out, the "refund button" is just as effective today as the last time we got an update. All I'm saying is that KNC should post an update. By staying silent some people are going to hit that button. Either KNC is honest or they're not. If they are, they should post "still on schedule". If they're not, they should post "still on schedule".

Lets assume you are right and we call them "untrustworthy" cause they are late and wont deliver in september, OK? And that makes them the same as BFL which were late over a fuckn year? Are you nuts?

All that matters to me is their trustworthiness at this point. Whether they're a day or a month or a year late is impossible for us to know right now. But their trustworthiness is the biggest and best indicator.

You know that its a BUSINESS right? As in they are doing this to make a profit. How would it help them if they came out now and said "were going to be a couple weeks late". Refunds would skyrocket, meanwhile in the next couple days after that statement, things are back on track. Its best to just say nothing and carry on. Just be PATIENT. come October 15th, if they haven't delivered a single unit, then feel free to bitch. in the meantime, put on your big boy pants and sit tight.

It would take them 30 seconds to say "still on schedule". If you try calling them they will say exactly that. Source: I actually called a few days back asking for some info. So far, in all occasions, they have ALWAYS picked up the phone. We are all eager to see if they deliver like they said they would but right now it just sounds like you are spreading FUD.

Wow, people are so jaded after the BFL and Avalon debacles, that they think it's OK for a completely unproven company to cheat their very first customers. Let's not mince words. If you say "Shipping in september" and you don't ship in September, you've cheated your customers. This isn't a fucking toaster that they're shipping, it's a bitcoin miner whose value is decreasing exponentially. Ship date means *everything* and to lie about that is to cheat your customers.
