KnC news

[btc_uzr]

The original KnC thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170332 is exhausting to follow as there's a tiny bit of info hidden in endless posts and pages.

I decided to create this thread in order to provide a brief overview about latest news popping up in KnC thread, on KnC website/forum or some where else.

      I'd like to ask you for contribution.

For speculation, ROI, fanboy talk, complaints, trolling, having fun or else please stick to the original thread.
Topic is not self moderated by intent, since I do not want to delete posts proving who's a moron.

All news will be collected in second post, so no need to scroll through

This is one of the better calculators as it helps with the question as to what gives a better return. Buying BTC vs Hardware with your money.

฿ buy-in only (and hold)

The difficulty increase won't be a straight 20%, it'll curve down.

5 jumps to double from current difficulty, or a total of 160M jump in difficulty, but further down jump 20-21 a 900M increase? in 1 jump? Think how much hardware would have to ship in 10 days time to have a 900M jump.

And do we really think by Dec 2014 there will be ASICs shipping in such vast quantities that a jump would be 22 BILLION? in 1 jump (38-39)?

[Dalkore]

Better calculator for ROI.  I am not seeing negative yet.

This is a stupid thread. How do we know if there is any new news? We don't. Create a new temporary thread for every news article, that is the point of a forums.

How would you know if there is news if a new thread was created every time? Check forum threads or check watchlist... seems about the same to me

Well, maybe the guy who started this thread will update the first post as news appears?  And post the update in the thread as well?  Also maybe if we stopped complaining, this thread could be productive?

He's keeping the second post updated, yes. Preferably he would also add the last update date to the thread title.

So we have to keep coming back to the thread in case there is an update? Thats not an update!!

[Paladin69]

I bet November pre-orders aren't feeling too confident about ROI with HashFast and CoinTerra coming around the corner.  If those companies weren't such a threat, KnC would be a really awesome investment.

I think there is just too much hashrate coming online.  There is a reason why CoinTerra is pricing 2TH for so cheap.

If you want to ROI and profit, you really need an ASIC in your hands right now before everyone else.  Everyone and their dog is getting involved now.  And some dogs are greedy rich.

So all these comments are signalling there is new news, how annoying and unfit for purpose.

my advice would be for OP, to make a new topic, self moderated, lock topic, and unlock and post when news
