Hmmm......I get the impression that the pre-orders will actually be clocked higher than those to come in Nov. judging by the recent news.

Seriously: The chips (if they exist?) and other stuff will be sent via a courier. A regular courier.

Granted, there have only been a couple interactions, but Kano has been quite cool to me. I told him up front I was a newbie, and he was very helpful. All he got out of it for now was my thanks. Once I get seriously into the game, I do intend to support the CGminer development with a donation(s) as I go. Which I did say up front.

What he told me in PM was that it is far EASIER to develop and debug support for hardware if it's in hand, and that yes, they hope to make a few coins doing it. I didn't see that as unreasonable.

Warm fuzzies.

Ransom.  I think a diamond importer would have said secrecy is the key.

Wow 6 people already got their KNC's ??

its all good, lol.

yeah, i guess its just suprising (and scary) to see so many people join that arent even mining now. make me think there are a lot of novices.

yes, 50btc is pure pps. its a 3% fee but income is incredibly consistent and payouts are instant. plus i just like the aesthetics of the site. i havent mined at slush, but i have heard good things about his pool as well....

hmmm, thats odd. www.50btc.com ?

Am I the only one who believes that KNC has several employees on location in Taiwan monitoring every step of the process? I have a hard time believing with this much of their (our) money on the line they would phone this one in. When they say multiple couriers, I suspect it will be the on-the-ground engineers themselves bringing the booty back home victoriously. Would you trust Fedex or DB Schencker to transport your precious chips? Hell no, you buy the seat in coach next to you to bring them home.
