Given the large size of the ASIC, heating a cool room with these miners will expose the ASICs to a range of temperatures and the large size expanding and contracting could be a problem. Might see lots of failures from those conditions while temperature controlled rooms see the miners go unscathed.

I remember a statement from KnC that those machines can even run in an apartment in Dubai without air-condition, there are margins upon margins.

I'd really like an assurance from KnC that there were no difficulties soldering the ASICs to the boards. That large size ASIC is novel.
Well, they tell me each time they fire up the welding torch & start heating that bigass ASIC, it just burns right through the PC board & blows all of them tiny caps & resistors plum off the workbench. They're really puzzled & told me they're trying a blowtorch next to see if that works any better. Maybe we should tell them about the frying pan trick? I think they should try that too, before they ragequit.  |

That might address overheating rather than temperature extremes. |

Well, here we go... Either we'll have the day 1's shipped, or it's going to be a hell of a time for KnC... |

I dont mind any minor delays of a few days. Thats not the problem. I dont like the non-existent communication-policy.
We had a on-off communication the last months. Sometimes very detailed then again absent for several weeks. And now its just non-existent again.
Either dont communicate details at all and stay silent or communicate and tell your customers whats going on.
But this inbetween of broken promises (Video, China-Show etc) and silence is just not good imo.

Yep the silence is weird. Orama has been on a few times and has also said noting. Im pretty sure if there was bad news though that he would let us know. I can only assume that they are holding back until they have a machine hashing which should be today at some stage imo

They are obviously having a problem with the chips. A couple of people are trying to get them working, the rest are walking around looking anxious. Everyone is waiting, including us. They may fix the problem. Or after a few more days trying they may just have to admit the chips don't work, bin them and start again. However, I am glad to announce I have a solution that has never been known to fail. Fix Your Asic Miner By Baking In Oven |

With gambling involved, bitbet, who can say what's right. |

Moment of truth for KnC. IF they fail moment of truth for Orama too... |

I'm choosing to prescribe to the "no news is good news" also.
They probably are trying their best and holding back on info trying to make the deadline.
If it was obviously impossible to them I think they would have already said something already.
I'm just waiting for the big "TA DA", curtain reveal.

You post reminds my a Chinese proverb: Shed no tears until seeing the body in the coffin. |

Moment of truth for KnC. IF they fail moment of truth for Orama too... I'm not sure why Bitcoinorama is to blame in any way. Sure he is a KnC fan and they even offered him a job. Nevertheless he recommended CC all the way long and shared his research/thoughts nobody was enforced to follow. In addition he mentioned several times do your own research. I cannot remember lies, broken promises or misleading. If there are and I'm just not aware point them out, please. *edit: I realized maybe you meant it another way, just read recently some bitcoinorama bashing and still asking myself for what reason |
