Hooray for non-equilibrium thermodynamics!

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.

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.

why bother?

+1

They would not be wasting time upgrading something that already works.

They will be busy installing new hardware. Just to get to 200TH+. 100TH Pick stock is crashing hard.
By the time they get to 200TH, they will need 400TH JMHO.

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.

If any of you have been following my attempts to get a refund issued on an order for a 400GH October kit ...

I would like to report that buzzdave came through, and the whole thing probably would have been resolved sooner had it not be for the forum outage.

So it's done, I got my funds back, and I'm happy.

My October orders were cancelled as well. Now it is up to Dave to send me payment for my August Kit. We supposed to get BTC1.25, right?

correct, or 2.25BTC in store credit. My understanding is those who explicitly requested or made clear they want the refund have begun to receive thiers, while those who chose credit or made no choice yet will likely get store credit update/info soon, as they expect to have in-stock sales around november.

I'm confused. You're going to ship V2 H cards but not V3 M boards? V2 H cards work in V1 M boards?

- I have an August Starter with a V1 M board and 2 V1 H cards.

- I have orders for an October Starter Kit and 7 H boards.

What will you be shipping me and when? There are so many versions of M and V boards!

my understanding is that there are 3 revisions of M-board:
V1: no PCI-E connectors, V1 H-boards
V2: PCI-E connectors, uses V1 H-boards
V3: not seen yet, but will use the V2 H-boards

H-boards:
V1: basic august design. will ship in october as well for returning customers who appear to be "filling" their kits
V2: october design, compatible only with V3 M-boards, has adjustable voltage.

october kits will almost certainly be the V3M and V2H devices paired together. h-board-only purchases will be as V1H cards

Thanks! But I still wonder how they'll handle orders that are split up? I have 6 different orders... 1 Starter and 6 individual orders for H boards. I hope they send only V2 boards.

I did the same thing. Emailed Dave and he assured I would have all newer version hardware.
