Stuff burning up or failing. Falling behind on shipping orders. Promised hashrates not being delivered. No communication from KnC about any of it, they suddenly stopped saying anything. Just about their whole customer base has started going ballistic...

They're knocking themselves out of the game very quickly...

I don't envy them to be honest, they have a lot of customers with a lot riding on their success (as all of these companies do). It does seem though that the worst thing that you can do in this kind of situation is close off the lines of communication - this forum breeds lynch mobs pretty quickly. Even if everybody is needed down in the factory building kit 24/7 it surely pays to have one guy/girl in the office calming the crowds.

heh, JOSH ;p

yeah the KNC rollout loks spotty. on time, with many good units and 500GH speeds, but also lots of poor performance units

KNC did not do long burn test on asic miner and maybe too much for OC.

i think so.an extra 24hrs of testing and burnin mayve revealed a lot of the issues and bad units. (although, KNC did save themselves from a factory fire :0

Honestly, with the nature of the product, the tremendous cost of delays (mining delays) and the fact none of these folks can realistically hire 20 techs to man phones/email - I don't know how you pull off a clean product introduction. It's just going to be a zoo. Neither customers or manufacturers want this equipment being tested for a week. Even if the hardware works flawlessly you have hundreds of non tech newbs like me that have had no formal tech training trying to install these things at the same time. It's just going to be a free for all for a few weeks. But I have not been keeping up. Maybe they do have some more inexcusable issues.

Because hardware doesn't have an infinite lifespan and they can easily repackage them as new. You think they are going to do another run of the old H cards I highly doubt it due to additional costs incurred to them. Plus the fact that version 3 has voltage controls means you can tune it to over or under clock.

They will replace the farm with the new kits and sell off the old used cards I bet.

I doubt Dave will discontinue 1st/2nd gen h-boards. You guys are probably over-reacting. With that said, October prices are a little too high now with the new difficulty jumping 25-35% every 10.x days.

on that note, would love to see an update from dave on the october equipment and the upcoming in-stock stuff/sales soon. I have an h-board on order #13X im waiting for, and then would like to start filling up the other 14 slots of my kit when prices make it a reasonable investment

The new stuff will not work in your M boards. You'll have to buy new M cards for November v2 h boards.
So if you did not fill them up with October orders, you can forget about it.

I wanted to fill up my two August kits (v1 and v2 M boards) but I cancelled orders for 30 h cards because of the price.
Now, it looks like v1 and v2 will not be available anymore. So whatever you buy in November, buy the whole kit as you never know what versions will be available in the future (if any).

i would be a little annoyed if that was the case. I see no reason why support for gen1 devices would stop so soon. At the very least, im sure a few 3rd parties will show up with h-board designs for sale (i know there was a mini 8-chip design posted in the forums last week)

Add me to the pissed off dept. if I can't order cards for my V1 board. I was literally order number 12 and got a starter kit. It's what I could afford at the time. I would certainly expect that I can fill that in or be provided a new board that will allow me to fill it in. I would think Dave et al would be smarter than to obsolete starter kits after 60 days.

If this is true, Dave won't get any more of my business. He should produce enough H cards to fill every V1 & V2 Motherboard out there and a few spares. Otherwise the cost of the Starter Kit can't be spread over all the cards. If they can't be bought in the future, people should be refunded $700.00, making the cost of the $1300 starter kit $600. a fairer price.
