ha, chip.) Guy’s, below we have some photos to share from our packaging house in Asia who are currently are in possession of our wafers; slicing and packaging the dies into the chips you and we so badly want to get our hands on.
The finish line is in sight. A few sleepless nights yet, but we are doing everything we can to keep our delivery promise. This is nail-biting to say the least.
Going to post some more hosting facility pictures on the forum later today as well. So look out for those. They’re from last weekend, something else we’ve forgone for the immediate future. Let’s just take a moment to thank or very understanding wives, and children, who have been exceptionally restrained and understanding considering the last few months. We’re all looking forward to making amends on some lost time there.
However, there are a couple of pictures below, we know you’ve anxiously wanted to see. As you can see we’ve managed to etch our logo onto the die itself. To give you some idea of scale, the logo itself is just under 1mm in heighthttp://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/hardware/2545-kncminer-28nm-die-photos-hot-of-the-press-from-our-packaging-assembly-house

Once you guys get your miners in hand what pools will you consider using and why?
btcguild + pplns +1 btcguild - PPLNS is the way to go...

btcguild + pplns Guys, stop using BTCGuild, please do spread your hashing power to the other pools! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295926.0spiccioli

I intend on switching back to my old little pool once 80% ROI is realized. However, this was an investment, and it just makes fiscal sense at the moment to go with the pool mining the most coin.

+1 Why pay those guys 3% when you can mine on Eligius, P2Pool, and others for free? You can keep more of the BTC you mine, AND help keep the network secure by spreading the hashing power around.

Bitminter is merge-mining Namecoins + pay Transactions.
So why not Bitminter?

Join any small local pool or P2Pool.

btcguild + pplns +1 btcguild - PPLNS is the way to go... Can someone point me to a low (or no) fee pool that is highly regarded? (or a discussion of same)? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_poolsI'm not paying those ridiculously high fees unless there's some other benefit besides lowering variance. As far as I can tell there really isn't any. I would think all of us here should have a pretty high tolerance for variance (just another word for luck in this case), we're all basically doing one big crapshoot buying these miners in the first place. I'm not sure I could deal with solo mining though, an average Jupiter will probably only solve maybe 2-3 blocks solo, so the odds of ending up with nothing are just a bit too high for me to go solo. But a smaller pool is fine.

You won't make more by mining on a pool that mines the most coin, because you get paid proportional to your hash power vs. the rest of the pool. At best, you may see less variance, but in the long run you won't make more money. And paying a 3% pool fee means you will be actually earning less than you would on some other pools.

I dont think anyone sane questioned there would be chips, not after reading the press release by orsoc. I still question their ability to turn untested trays of chips in to shipping miners in just 2 weeks time (but I have that same question about all the other asic's too, so its still looking good for KNC customers)

Sane or not it doesnt matter cause we all have seen it happen. And even now they could state that its all a photoshop fake. You see an idiot stays an idiot regardless what happens.

KnC wasn't the only target of scam accusation, I seem to remember an unwarranted plethora of abuse directed at myself relentlessly these last few months. Apparently not only was I talking the truth, I knew the subject I was talking about, and really did have everyone's best interests at heart with respect to secured payments, and not being scammed. I've also been correct with every single prediction i've made. Not bad to be fair, is it? There's a few folks here that owe me an apology, and albeit even fewer that said they would have the balls to apologise when the time came. Well let's hear it please, i'm happy to forgive, but credit, where credit's due...

Orsoc was the trigger to get me involved. Never been worried. Just put the trolls on ignore, its much easier then ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Anyone up for a day 1 pickup beer? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
