gox taking forever to cash out, coinabase with a limit of 10 (!) btc a day...
what are those exchanges doing to us ?

There are  not shortages of exchanges. If necessary, convert your BTC to some other fiat, then convert that to USD using a traditional forex dealer.

Transfer BTC to Bitstamp, cash out there.

[Ytterbium]

Basically across the board the share prices dropped, not because of any fundamental change with the underlying asset, but rather because people were willing to sell for a loss to take their btc off of the exchange.  In other words, share prices are at a discount right now. 

Now that coinbase.com has a 10btc/day limit on instant transactions I'm unable to quickly move fiat into bitcoin, thus the auction.

Why not just auction off some cash?

500 pages of complete BS and the rest is some good info...

500 pages of complete BS and the rest is some good info...

Yeah, it's up to about 40 pages of BS per week now.

I'd guesstimate 26th Sept > 3rd October - 70 pages of BS?

come on KNC, your cake is waiting....

Sam is so confident on shipping on time, he's started spending the profits already:

[Xialla]

just received mail from KNC:

Dear Daniel,

Your order is expected to ship towards the end of September.

Once the order is shipped you will receive the tracking number.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.

Med vänlig hälsning | Best regards

it means, that they are still on track, so peace in mind for next ~24 hours.)

[The Avenger]

They told you on the 24th September:

Your order is expected to ship towards the end of September.

And that reassures you?

[Xialla]

And that reassures you?

honestly, in this phase I can't imagine the answer, which will reassures me more.) but as I mentioned previously in this thread, is hard to believe, that they are able to assemble, test, package and ship hundreds of boxes within few days.

I stand with my pre order couple of months, so last few days are like nothing.)

I can tell you which answer will reassure you more: your order will be shipped on 2x September, and its expect to be delivered to you the day after.

Since beginning KNC were straight company. I can understand why they have started to take preorders. But why to take preorders to november delivery since that is also an risk for buyers and miner price is based on diff change prediction.
KNC was honest and was aware of it, they were aginst preorder model but it was needed to make the asic miners in the first place. Now when they made it why to continue to have preorders? Why just do not built x stock unit and sell them at x price with imidate shipping? Risk is again on their customers. I know that they can refund it at any time but why KNC has to have locked our money?
What has changed since several months ago? Nothing, preorder model are still in the full bloom!

[androsyn]

probably because of the competitors. if you had a company selling such devices and see the pre-order orgies happening with competition you may ask yourself: do i want to watch this millions going to the competition or do i want to make my product "available" now to get a share of the pie ?

I agree with you and came on the same conclusion. However somebody need to be first to offer with medium profit and not to squezze out every btc they can, now. (aside AM what have different story).
KNC did discused about preorder model many times and was against it and imply that they will use it only once as startup capital.

I thought it would be very close, then they posted that video of the boards being manufactured ...cast a lot of doubt for me. After all, they were talking about the boards being tested weeks ago and posting pics of them. I assumed they'd got that job well under way or complete by now just ready for chips until that comment about "millions of components arriving" , and now that video making sense of the comment. A lot to do in days, and that assumes all runs smoothly.

I still think that simply packing and shipping and setting up the pool details etc. which are nothing to do with manufacturing isn't a minor endevour and will take some time. Not to mention populating that data centre. Very labour intensive stuff that needs to be done right.

I agree.  Watching the "pre-order orgies" from the sidelines is no fun.  But the straight-laced Mother Superior act begins to crumble once the habit is under the bed & you're covered with Strawberry KY

Dude they ran a caption competition and stated they were ordering the revisions like a couple of weeks back. The boards in that video were fully populated with everything but the ASIC and a heatsink. Chips comes in, solder balls heated and affixed, screwed to casing, heatsink mounted, wires connected to controller board and fire it up.

[plasmoske]

That's IF the chips come out flawlessly on spec/power.

[Meizirkki]

The boards in that video were fully populated with everything but the ASIC and a heatsink.

Nope, only SMD components were in place.

Of course, we can't know how old this video is. It could be from the prototype run from many weeks ago.

[timmmers]

See. that makes no fucking sense at all. Posting a video of something that was done weeks ago as a teaser at this point?
I saw the pic of the board and heatsinks too, and based on that I assumed they were on top of that and we were just waiting for chips ...then up pops that video teaser of them apparently manufacturing boards?

In their place and pushed for time they should be sitting ready for the chips now. This is no place for JIT practices, it's a race.
