why are you so nice to people who can't use the search function or are too lazy to read? 

Lol

That's just how I roll.

It was stated in this forum way back near the beginning somewhere that in the U.S. you will have to pay the UPS guy the customs import tax.  I don't remember exactly what was said but I'm thinking it was around $120.

Might be worth looking up again.

Nice dig Mota, still laughing.

 I feel we need to be concern if " any company that has yet to announce any mass ordering of chips from foundries now or a few weeks earlier, we may be worry and anxious if they could deliver on time. like  "Rampion" says we need to know whether the Chips has been order?? [b]They only need to let us know if  the Chips has been order to calm all our nerves.[/b] " Sounds like from their latest newsletter they are still tweaking the Asic Chips??

Not that you've asked me specifically for my opinion, but we have to admit that by ordering product from KnC we at least have to acknowledge that they have expertise that we don't have.  They have stated that everything is on track for September delivery and those things that need to be purchased have been purchased.  Those that don't will be in due course.

As consumers of their product it is pointless to second guess their time schedule.  I understand that OTHER actors in this space have proven to be incapable of delivering on time.  However, KnC has exceeded expectations at every turn.

My 2c, kick back, have a drink and relax.  I have confidence that they will make their delivery schedule.

I'm wondering when mining won't be worth it soon. One day they'll have a tough time trying to sell a Jupiter for $2k. If it takes 3 years to pay that back when the network changes, then we'll be bake right where we started from. Crazy people hooking up as many miners as they can to squeeze every dollar out.

I'm asking KNCMiner this question. What mining software does your devices run on? Is is custom stuff, or  whatever else is out there?

I obviously agree with you. From kncminer last post in this thread we understand that the chip order has not been placed yet, as they are still discussing with the fab "how much", while they find out "how many". I guess that's why they extended again the payment window, they need people to pay, and that's why they didn't cancel the unpaid orders as they say they would have done weeks ago.

Anyhow, they say we shouldn't be worried because they are meeting all the deadlines, but to be honest I won't be confident until there is a precise chip ETA.

I was planning on about ten times that amount for Canada customs. Duties are unpredictable. I once paid $40 duty on a $60 sweater from the states.  Other things have no duty.
