I don't think kncminer has thought this through. I bet they change this policy once they start accepting payment.

Agree with this. I booked the pre-order because I'm really interested and intend to buy the actual product, while now I may have to buy early number from somebody who may have no intention/financial support to buy it at beginning? No sense this way. I may just have to focus on other companies who truly consider their actual customers. Your place is only worth something if you have already paid. The order you'll get your unit is determined by when you send them money - so... if you have not paid, then a number from a contact form doesn't have much value. Hi, Actually this is NOT true We will open up the order books soon and give everyone a chance to pay for their preorder (7 days), We will then ship them based on the preorder registration number, not when the order was paid for as long as the order is paid for within the 7 days we will honor the queue placement. if you pay on day 8 you will simply enter the queue from the back I hope this helps if you do sell your order number all I will need is an email from both parties and I will do the rest, they will get your queue placement. it can’t however be for more than your registered amount of boxes and we will not split preorders into multiplies Sam@kncminer.comSo if somebody that preordered a few units but never intends to buy your merchandise will be able to sell his preorders. And a actual customer who who is willing to pay and has the money will have to wait in line. Great way to do business , even better than BFL. I was enthusiastic about KnCminer products, but you are doing your best to piss us off. First VAT not this , whats next ? We will be able to pickup orders only from the Moon ?

Has KNC even announced that they are planning a quantity of 500 for the first batch? I didn't see that anywhere, just curious where that number is coming from.

This is rewarding pure speculators who have invested nothing in the product. It stinks, and it doesn't reflect well on a company that actively supports the idea.

Each order allows the customer to buy up to 3 machines, this means only up to order #167 are guaranteed to get into the first batch, even if many people don't order more than 1 machine (or at all), how are you supposed to get into the first 500 batch of machines with a #530 order? Hello,
i have to sell 3 order IDs between 530 and 555 for the first 500 KNC miners. PM me. Escrow through "John" is possible.
This is one line of my Order Mail vom KNC: "The desired goods: KNC Bitcoin miner numbers 1-500"
This is an answer from Sam as i asked him, how this is going when i have a order numbers over 500: > Hi > > You have a golden ticket and you will be able to buy a jupiter with > that number. > There is no need for you to buy mars > > > Sam
A few weeks ago, there was a possibility to choose between 2 KNC Products at the the KNC shop. 1. 100% price for products 1-500 2. 50% price for products over 500 I have choosen the the first one and preordered it.

Actually I think of it differently
What annoys me more than anything is people on eBay/or here selling pre orders for boxes. When the person buying has no chance of actually knowing if the box will ever arrive at his/her door because the original company doesn't allow a change of shipping address,
There is enough scamming in this industry already. I do not want to see our boxes or queue placements being used at all to scam anyone out of money and if i can spend a few minutes to fight that I will.
If this offends anyone then so be it. I would rather that than have you lose your coins to someone who claims to have a queue placement, or a full pre order who in actual fact does not.
After payments are made and the queue does indeed become longer. We know that queue trading is gong to happen and as we cant stop it the best we can do is try to make sure no one gets scammed.

Ah, but we're not at the stage yet of paid orders, are we? If you plan to deliver a timely product, such scamming shouldn't be much of an issue. It's only when the manufacturer has been holding on to payments for months and not delivering anything that you can excuse people getting itchy feet. Representatives from your company have previously said you expect a high-drop out rate from pre-orders (I don't have the link but I know it's been repeated in the main KnC thread several times). But now, if you've given people with an early pre-order who were never serious about buying your products a green light to sell their spot in the queue (which is most of your pre-orders if your earlier admission is correct), you are only inviting a frenzy of further speculation. I think rewarding speculation at this point is only going to pour fuel on the fire. Good luck.

Preorders should simply need to stop. That is a main problem. Sell product in heand and not reservation. If company need finance then they need to have a contract with peple willing to invest. Preorders are free loan witgout obligations. Sam, i find this answering in preorder trade totaly absurd and wrong. Why you dont take a time to read and answer some real important questions in other thread?

You still don't get it, you allow speculators to make money of your product , without spending a single dime. Risk free. When a investor with actual intentions of buying will have to include in ROI speculators fee.

Yes, and if KnC support it they will have to hire people to maintain a secondary market in trading queue spots. What's stopping someone who pays $5,000 for a spot in the first 50 orders from reselling it a couple of days later for $7,000? KnC, do you realize what you are countenancing here?

Out of all the motherfuckin' questions that you've been asked on this forum and have ignored, or claimed to be too busy, you take the time to post this with a promise that you'll handle it on your end via mega emails, all of which will take tremendous time. Well, here's what I think. I fuckin' think that some of the people that will be selling their pre-orders will be you, for there's no fuckin' way we would know differently. A couple hundred pre-orders that you control racks up to be a pretty big chunk of change. Let's just see how many NEWBIES start posting their pre-orders for sale, all of which Sam, et al., will make time to make sure that the transaction goes smoothly. This is fucked up on so many levels. You guys don't really want to know what I really believe. What a motherfuckin' scam this all has turned out to be. +1 I shouldn't even have taken the time to write my post. This says it all. If you are from Sweden maybe you can visit them in one of their open house? customers in butterfly and avalon has been selling their pre-orders, they is nothing wrong. is always FIFO or those who are late in their orders, LILO

Hopefully this idea is only born of naiveté, not stupidity or mendacity.

Seems like those who order late really not happy to those that order early.. is perfectly normal and acceptable if someone choose to sell their pre order, it is an individual choice.

That's not the point. This isn't about speculators, it's about the integrity of KnC. Why would a company that admits that most pre-orders were not serious be happy to reward those same non-serious speculators? Would you feel comfortable handing over a large sum of money to such a company? TheSwede75 is an early pre-order, and he's/she's decided to cancel. Do you see why?

With BFL and Avalon people are selling pre-orders they have paid for. Here, people are selling 20 seconds of work, this doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If it was paid pre-orders that they made transferable, then that's at least understandable, but this is ridiculous.
