After much observation, it is very likely Bitcoinorama is a shill. He goes above and beyond to defend KNC and proclaim how great KNC is in every aspect, but is extremely critical of their competitors.

That is only my opinion though. I know he's going to reply to this stating otherwise, but whatever...

BTW: No, you do not have to be paid to be a shill. Merriam-Webster: to act as a spokesperson or promoter

Just amazing...

BTC Difficulty 37,392,768 -> 50,636,479 (35.42%) in 2 hours.   What a huge jump!  I believe this is a record.  13.2 million in a single bound.

Is it possible to manipulate the difficulty increases by removing hashing power prior to the change? How is the next difficulty level set?  Average over a number of blocks?   Just looks like 100TH dropped off the network today just before the increase and I'm sure we will see the power back online immediately after the difficulty gets set.

Don't even bother looking at Mining.TheGenesisBlock.com until after the change has happened.  Their moving window for the average difficulty is based on a 30 day window which causes it to be all messed up near the end of the window.  Example, right now it expects a very low monthly increase (in the 30% range).  I'm sure it will show 75% or more once that window gets corrected.

Just amazing to see how quickly the value of a miner can drop and this is why everyone is "concerned".    

KNC has provided all the info they currently have and the next update will probably be that the chips are in.  Until then we can watch the charts!

This is all a race to the bottom when it comes to asics. only the people who get it first win for each generation of gear.
And that assumes a level playing field where the manufacturers are not using your money to build their mining farm first.
everyone else can suck eggs. you feeling lucky punk?

But October isn't... :-( My order date is for October (Saturn), probably end of october!  If it rises at this level, it'll probably be over 200m diff by the time I get my rig... $4000 down the drain...


If by beginning of October the difficulty is around 200m, I'll be surely asking for a refund. Can't afford to lose four grand, or wait for a year just to get ROI

Actually, for "September delivery" I expect delivery by 11:59 PM on September 30th.   Any time before that is a bonus.

And, at 00:01 local time on October 1st, I'll start cancelling any and all orders that haven't shipped.

I am hoping we'll all get a bonus in that case since they are ahead according to the latest news .

Well, I don't hold bitcoin. The price of BTC has everything to do with ROI. If I pay 1k for a miner and if I mine 1BTC which I can sell for 1k, then I got back my investment.


If September delivery is delayed, then we can all assume October delivery will be delayed also. I suspect it won't take long in September for people to figure out what's going on.

That was me.

It is becoming more than obvious that Bitcoinorama have some serious issues to deal with people in a business environment.

Kuroth, you are pretty entitled to ask whatever questions you want if you are interested to become a KnC buyer. Do not let people like Bitcoinorama let you down. At this point is quite reasonable ask for a proper announcement from KnC.

For all people waiting for valid questions as Kuroth, I want to say that that I support you and I wish you the best outcome.

Odd how a single event can determine the future for eternity ...
