I don't know how many KNC is offering but they haven't delivered yet the Neptunes so when they say Q1/Q2 it usually means the very last hours of Q2. So the Titans probably will arrive the last week of September, at the earliest, who knows. What I know though is that the difficulty in Scrypt is not going to increase that much in 5 weeks, and very little in the following 2 months... in it doesn't actually decrease, which has happened recently and is definitely possible. But I don't pretend to know more than anyone else and certainly not more than the calculators. Like I said, if you are not enthusiastic about the opportunity, by all means don't even consider it.
It's at least 200 units given all the news articles about knc selling $2 million in miners at $10k/each. Last I heard, they are doing 250-300mh each. Also, you are assuming other manufacturers don't release leading up to delivery. Fib and zeus miners for instance. Look at the difficulty when gridseeds hit mainstream... you now have LTC over 5k, sometimes over 6k. You're pretty much going to be stuck mining anything without kgw/dgw due to the difficulty retargeting which at this time is LTC being the heavyhitter.
You just don't get it: Obviously, this opportunity is not for you. But for others that are interested, you have no idea what you are talking about. KNC will be selling many more than 200-300 Titans, as a matter of fact they are selling in pre-order as of this mornig, 1,189 units... not exactly getting short on then, right? we will see if by delivery time they have pre-sold all of them or, if not, how many.
Again, I already have the latest Gridseed, the 80, so I know they are massively available in the market right now. What will the impact of all of this be in difficulty? great impact no doubt. WE all are fully aware of it as well as the many peculiarities, hassles and potential downfalls of this "business". We are also aware of the potentiality. Maybe BTC above $1,000 very soon? Maybe LTC at 4 times it's current value, maybe BC at 100 or 1,000 times it's current value. I don't know. Nobody does. But I want in and so do many others, alright? Once again, it's the calculators online who say ROI in less than 2 months, not me, understood?
