Already answered - delivery month

Ty Dave and Kat for verifying my order.  Now please bump me up the list  (hey it don't hurt to request).  =)

maybe not and did you see Oct. one same price but delivery in Oct.

Hmm, yeah I saw that, but after all it's Oct delivery. If I'm going to be taking the additional risk associated with Oct delivery I may as well jump in for the full 400G kit or get a KnCMiner Jupiter (slightly cheaper) - the additional hashing power will be necessary come Oct for sure.

True, it seems like the Bitfury team was a few steps ahead of the KNCMiner team. From what I heard the bitfury ASIC has been in development for the past 8 to 9 months or something like that. If KNC pull it off and deliver by the end of Sept I'll be impressed. In regard to power consumption one would think that KNC's chips would be more power efficient as they use a smaller manufacturing process (28nm) but (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong) from what I know the KNC chips are not designed the same as the bitfury chips - possible FPGA hardcopy.

I think we are all a bit "foo" as you say, because this whole game is pretty much a gamble as we never know 100% sure when we will have hardware in hand. I think the safest strategy for long term success is to not place your eggs in one basket. Spread out your risks and spread them wide. Also do not get overly attached or fall in love with one hardware provider.

ASICMiner is probably the only group that can do that. Other than that you'll have to wait until AMD or Intel or some other major gpu/cpu producer gets in the game until your dream of on time delivery comes true.

Note to AMD and Intel, get in the btc market, we have people who are willing to pay 5 to 10x the market value for your future miner!

Well you did apply a good strategy IMHO - spreading your risks. Hopefully KNC works out to make up for BFL's failures.

Cablez,

Miners is miners and traders is traders...and never the twain shall meet...
