Does anyone know:
1) If the chips have been tested on production boards.
2) If (1), why no pics/vids/specs?  Seems a bit cruel.
3) If the miners are being assembled in China or Sweden.
4) If in China, will they be tested there & be distributed to customers from China (improbable), or be shipped to Sweden first (transport & customs delays)?

Have anyone made any calculations how much better or worse we are as a group of customers (1000s) if the hashrate of each device is increased by 30% or 50%?

A very rough example:

1000 Jupiters 500GH/s each vs 1000 Jupiters 600GH/s

Is each individual owner better with the 600GH/s or is the benefit cancelled out by the fact the each has it?

Can you Xialla and everyone else stop WHINING LIKE CHILDREN, we're all getting really sick of it.

There are still 3 and a bit more days left in September.

On 1st October, if there is no update, cry all you want.

Until then, stop WHINING. It's very tiresome and unmanly.

Did they receive the packaged chips from the fab yet?
If yes did they pass the validation test on the first assembled unit(s)

The benefit would only be canceled if the only gear hashing came from KNC.  Since there are non-KNC miners out there, and you're competing against them for the slice of the coin caek, it's obviously an advantage to have more hashing power.

Speculaing does not help, it just generates more speculation and panic.

Better to stick to the facts we have and wait for updates (from KNC directly, or from Bitcoinorama who says he is going to Sweden tomorrow and will report back with facts and pictures/videos).

We all want to keep up with whats going on in this thread, but I don't think anyone wants to log in and have to read 20 pages of pure speculation and FUD like we saw yesterday.

Thanks

I'm going to have to disagree. Speculating helps in the way that it can give you an idea of what may possibly be happening.

But yes, for the weak people out there, they're going to panic more. I guess I'll stop then

And yes, yesterday the amount of FUD was unbelievable. I've added so many people to my ignore (the ones who don't really add anything to the discussion).


P.S Crumbs is alright. He trolls/FUDs about 90% of the time but he does add some useful stuff to the discussion... sometimes... in a full moon

I don't add everyone to my ignore. Only the ones who don't really add anything. I like to listen to both positive/negatives. It's bad to just listen to the positive only.

I don't get your way of thinking.
Sure we will receive units the next week as it looks like, but there's no whining.
From my point of view it's comprehensible complaints based on obvious disappointments caused by broken promises and shady behavior from KnC.

all those (unexplained) delays - Shipping is now end of September/begin of October - in the beginning it was 'this summer' even with Mars,
we have Friday 27th and still no further infos about exact shipping date but the claim 'on track' - some of us have to book/cancel flights or at least to get a day off from work,
there are some broken promises (video, news an other stuff),
now this shady 'no more refund' policy (because of mass refunds?),
they do not disclose how much they actually ship (hashfast has a transparent public order chain),
their news and customer support became quite worthless the last days as it seems to be,
some politely emails with uncomfortable questions never got answered - not even with a short 'sorry we will not disclose it',
claims of 'under promise, over delivery' as well as 'margins upon margins upon margins',
...

..as professionals they should be aware that such statements and behavior breaks your neck when not sticking to them.
So how about not blaming disappointed customers for being pissed off, but KnC for causing the disappointments in first place.

instead of
"Can you Xialla and everyone else stop WHINING LIKE CHILDREN, we're all getting really sick of it."
you should yell
"KnC what the fuck is going on, you make me dealing with more and more ppl being pissed off, we're all getting really sick of it."
