Exactly. If KncMiner delivers as promised, which is yet to be seen, they alone will add an absurd amount of hashrate to the network in September and October.

If you add up all the hashpower added by KncMiner, BitFury, AsicMiner, BFL, and Avalon, I would not be surprised if the difficulty was over 1 billion by the end of the year and that doesn't even include some of the new darkhorse startups like Cointerra and HashFast.

1 billion by end of year, really, would you like to put some BTC on that?

So its split between break even or lose money on these if its near the end of Oct?  Basically the guys in August will make 400% on there investment and us October guys will lose or break even???

Can you tell me the method or show me the calculator that shows 400%??

400% on 19K?

hmm

Sorry I was sarcastically stating a high percentage but the message was lost in the text.  If you buy a 400 g/h unit for 8 grand all the calculators I used say you should make 8 grand in August (don't know what day you got it, lets say august first) and 6 grand in september, 4 grand in october and 2 grand in november.  Now you've already made 150% profit and the setup will run at whatever the future holds for miners, possible making 1k a month when it levels out.  

If you buy in october you will already be down 10,000 worth of mining, it seems to me atleast.  I put an order in, and want to run it anways in hopes that the price increase of coins in the future will offset future higher difficulties and believe will stay profitable for awhile.  I'm just a newb here guys don't take it so personal!

No didn't consider that.

+1. I share the same opinion. I have 2 orders in raneg #13x and #14x

@Dave : From your posts today, we see that you are reading our posts but refraining from posting the status about the shipment.
I agree that you guys have been tired and we completely understand that you and your team have a personal life as well.

But a single line update on what is going on with the rest of the orders with Aug delivery would have been appreciated. Last we know is that some of the orders upto ~ # 100 were shipped on Wednesday. In your earlier posts, you mentioned that some of them are stuck in customs and other on the way.

Atleast let us know what orders (if any) were shipped on Thursday and Friday and when can we expect our orders to be shipped.
I seriously hoped that atleast my order status would change to "Ready to be shipped" by weekend but that never happened.

No offense but you have shown exceptional customer service in the past as compared to any other ASIC company. But please keep us updated. I don't mind if it is late by another day but atleast keep us posted about it.

Sorry for my sarcasm Poostang. The August 400GH/s kit was US $19,000 and not delivered until they said they would, end of Aug to get out the door. Early Sept in my case to get to my house. So all sarcasm aside. Facts $19,000 400GH/s Call it Sept 1 for cheating purposes and run those numbers.

Have you seen this spreadsheet?  https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/236050.0

It has been updated a number of times since the original post date. When I ordered my 400GH kit on July 8th, it predicted a diff of 50 mil for late Aug/early Sept, and a total BTC ROI of 378 BTC for 12 months. Sounds great right?

What a difference 2 months makes. The exponential function has become, more exponential. The diff is 86 mil now. One year prediction now 108 BTC for 400GH delivering this week.

Appreciated very much. I will hold tight on hardware.
