Ordered a Mercury... Order # 31xx... Fuuuuuuuu!!!!!
So I'm guessing this means there's probably a minimum of 600 th/s worth of orders in front of me? I hope I've worked that out wrong

+1, probably at leat 50% of orders are cancelled or not paid

yeah let's not forget the pre-order placement is more important than these order numbers.

I had a low pre-order spot

I guess if KnC went the extra mile they could of listed everyone's preorder spot along with their order# and their day1, day2 etc

then it would make it easier for everyone to digest

Uggh. Really, more of this crap? As far as I know, Bitfountain (the owners of ASICMiner) hasn't sold a single share since they IPOed at .1 BTC/share, back in September 2012.

They need $3.5mill in pre-orders to fund the chip run, similar to the once off funding issues BFL had for the first wafer run.


My main concern is the 250watts of each chip. I don't know of any chip with that much power consumption, it will need fans like a whole GPU card and more. The package will need a massive TDP rating. eg. a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, one of the most power consuming CPU's of all time, was about half that rating.


I won't be ordering until these things are out in the field and proven. I am not a lab rat.

My 7970 is 28nm, and draws more than that....   hahaha

Paladin69..... I just noticed something....

Reading a bit more slowly now......   "This unit has been scheduled for shipping on day 2 of production"
Day two of production, not shipping day two....weeeeeeeee 

Your point is?...  and the machines in Question are much bigger than Graphics cards, aren't they?  You have doubts... you should post them elsewhere.....  and go buy a BFL product, from a convicted Mail fraud Felon.
