KNCminer 48 hour controller board slogan challenge (ENDED)

[dwdoc]

Competition time!

We have a new challenge for you. We require a slogan for our controller board and we have 48 hours to make up our minds. You may remember we made a couple of minor mishaps with our Mars board. On our original Mars PCBs we printed: Bitcoins make the world go around! (Grammer is not our area of expertise, chip design is). So we have chosen to open this part of the design process to those following us on this forum. This is your chance to be immortalised in Bitcoin tech history. Please design the phrase you wish to see. There is still a space for one sentence on our boards. The 48 hours start now. Competition ends at 5.30pm (local time). We will decide the winning entrant which will then be seen on all our hardware; Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.

Thanks,

KnCMiner team.

Timer removed. End time: 2013-08-29+10:30:00

We require a slogan for our controller board and we have 48 hours to make up our minds.
KnCMiner team.

The bottom line is what you are getting from KNC is over engineered and not over designed.  Imagine how upset people would be if we had something that looked great but we were delayed because of the design.
Sam

I don't care about the slogan. Don't waste 48 hours for it.
I prefer to have my miner 48 hours earlier.

If you really want one put this : This miner was delivered on time.

I don't think they are delaying the miner by 48 hours to run this contest.  Rather, the deadline for submitting the final PCB is likely in a little over 48h.

Small Update

Ok so a few of announcements;

Firstly, let us address the small competition KnCMiner held on Bitcointalk.org to create the phrase chosen to populate all our boards;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3019140#msg3019140

The entries were brilliant, there were some genuine laugh out loud choices, as well as a variety of creative mash-ups with reference to space and Bitcoin mining. We did take note of entries within our main thread, as well as the thread dwdoc started, and the later thread included in the ‘Newbie’ section started by happyagnostic. So we promise, no one was overlooked. Whilst there were several honourable mentions, including;

Commanderuk – Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

600watt – Mine the Gap.

Kaerf – “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks”

The joint – where zeros and ones become heroes and fun.

The Avenger – “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is a reality” – John Lennon

BigLad – Uranus is next… (not really but that got a superb reaction)

There was however one clear winner, and whilst a lot of consideration has been given into stating what that is, we’re in two minds about revealing it until the boards are in our hands. So we would like to tease you a little further about what that maybe, but in all honesty we all agreed upon the choice as soon as we saw it.

I'm quite pleased to be honorably mentioned Fun competition!

[The Avenger]

Meh

I won the contest. They just now messaged me. The winning phrase is ""I spent all my money on this machine."

[-Redacted-]

Meh

[ur0pl]

jk. i didn't win. I liked "bitcoin makes the world go around" more than their honorable mentions though, so I doubt the real winning phrase would be something that I like

Maybe someone can start a bitbet on what the winning phrase will be.

Small Update

Ok so a few of announcements;

Firstly, let us address the small competition KnCMiner held on Bitcointalk.org to create the phrase chosen to populate all our boards;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332.msg3019140#msg3019140

The entries were brilliant, there were some genuine laugh out loud choices, as well as a variety of creative mash-ups with reference to space and Bitcoin mining. We did take note of entries within our main thread, as well as the thread dwdoc started, and the later thread included in the ‘Newbie’ section started by happyagnostic. So we promise, no one was overlooked. Whilst there were several honourable mentions, including;

Commanderuk – Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

600watt – Mine the Gap.

Kaerf – “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks”

The joint – where zeros and ones become heroes and fun.

The Avenger – “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is a reality” – John Lennon

BigLad – Uranus is next… (not really but that got a superb reaction)

...or you have just experienced that, what in Evolutionary Theory is called "convergence" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution)

I had a Buzz Lightyear-inspired slogan "to the infinite difficulty and beyond". Then I saw that almost the same suggestion was posted on the KnC thread before me.

We are influenced by roughly the same stimuli, so the responses would also be roughly the same.
