The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Seriously?! And you think VC wouldn't want a pound of flesh? Or maybe mine for themselves? Pricing was initially based upon covering non recurring engineering costs divisible by interest obtained prior to pitching to ORSoC, which was 1,000+ people, and that's without profit, now it's competitive fair market value. You would be paying more if VC were on board. Dependent on the level of interest there may not be any public sale tendered with VC.
Furthermore if you believe in the social financial project that Bitcoin is, why would you risk a purchase with them? Pay with cash if you are bullish on coin, especially for something you have to wait a period of time for, by that logic it the coin would always assume a greater value, especially when that value is relative to scarcity, and adoption. Increased media interest alone since the ECB/Cypriot cash grab in April is enough to justify that...
Yes. VC would want a share of the company. And the price would have been the same since it's "competitive market value" as you stated. My point is that the profit margin was way too high for a product which was fully funded by the people who invested into said product without quarantees and a hilariously low liability on the companys side. A profit margin for the september orders of about 500-800$ per Jupiter would have been fair; they paid for everything, mind you. In essence KNC as every other asic manufacturer got an interest free loan in the millions and decided to wring some more profit out of the nice people who lend it to them. Umm they were priced to clear NRE, they did not foresee the actual interest being greater at the time. Obviously now it's going nuts, but for all the companies with their sales doors open and nothing of any substance to sell anyone for the foreseeable future. They could have easily marked up their prices once Jupiter was proven for the rest of the November batch left to sell. KnC were priced competitively for the current market, but aren't ripping people off claiming they would have and will have a product that doesn't exist and couldn't exist by this time. |

What do you do to get your upgrade modules cooled when they have no place to mount?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, two modules shipped to me, one left Sweden, the other says "The package was left in a UPS facility.". They forgot to put it on the plane I guess.
Edit : Now both are stuck and never left.

 All 3 of my shipments show this. I was also emailed an exception notification saying "this notice alerts you delivery of the following shipment has been rescheduled." and "Exception Reason: THE PACKAGE WAS LEFT IN A UPS FACILITY" |

Are these yours? Yup, it's just from my Saturn, my upgrade modules are stuck in Delivery Exception like everyone else. I figured I'd do the R&D now instead of having a bunch of modules waiting for me to figure out how to do it. |

When people finally realize that BITCOIN is not to replace money, but rather to represent it in electronic form to be used as a quick form of payment w/out money exchanges and rates/fees, then it might be worth even more than what it is now. ps. just crossed $800 on gox |
