I resemble this remark

Searing

I'd say they get mad because they got it right or were even pessimistic on difficulty and worked the possibilities out using the latest date they would be mining according to the very very confident KnC ..and KnC didn't keep their word which made the estimates worthless.

You pillock. KnC themselves said delivery would be by Oct 15th, and many many times they have repeated that. IS it unreasonable to have expectations that involve them meaning what they say?

Where's this from? :-
When mining Bitcoins time to deployment is everything within the global Bitcoin market.

KnC website.

This too:-
New orders for our ASIC miners that are fully paid today are expected to ship from November 15th, regardless of model.

That same thing was on their site for Oct 15th delivery. Today.

If you got your rig, count yourself lucky. You seriously are. Some day one orders are still saying in progress. About half of customers haven't had their contract with KnC honoured...and are basically being told to fuck off and STFU whining as they watch their potential income drop off a cliff. Why is that important? I know, let's ask someone who knows..KnC. :-

When mining Bitcoins time to deployment is everything within the global Bitcoin market.

ack..that will be the future drama....when I sit looking at whatever (hopefully not) loss Ive taken on asic gear...and see that elec price per month is more then what i' making.....then what.....mine ALT coins for fun and delusion on hope/prayer?.....crap.....(into the future and beyond)

i will say some ppl get mad because we all made wrong diff estimate few month before

Really, hundreds?  Maybe Dozens.  Agreed, I want KNC to just admit a revised shipping completion date for all miners. Maybe they'll wait till tomorrow to announce what another guy here calculated which was around the 18th as revised shipping.  

Some people need a reality check.  Seriously, what KNC has achieved is commendable.  Ask yourselves what is more likely... KNC being somehow delinquent in their delivery or your expectations.

Chill the f out and give these guys the credit they deserve.

Thank you KNC, I mean that.

  I was just sending an email to Paypal risk department about KNC misconduct.  I am waiting for Paypal to reply tomorrow before I am going to get Visa , MasterCard , Discover and American Express take on KNC merchant account.     I believe they would love to read this forum and KNC forum to see how KNC conduct their business  with hundreds of customers complaining ..

Yes between the caps popping the firmware and the VRMs I am sure the assembly line stopped cold for at least 5 days.

I feel ya, but if they did this I'd give my jupiters to anyone and tell KNC to ship next year as long as I got my daily BTC compensation!!

Here is what I think happened...  at first they made hotrod 8 VRM miners with firmware .90 that early customers said really performed.. we didn't have bertmod's firmware so no one knows if they were pushing those VRMs hard like the 4 VRMs ended heating up but they were high total watts, so yeah, probably hashed like monsters

well..  bean counter guys say, we don't **really** need to be doing all this and can cut out some serious expenses and strip down the 4 VRMs/caps/etc per board.
(bye bye margins upon margins)
They may or may not of plugged one in and noticed they were still 300 watts more than a '.91 fixed' 8 VRM miner and worse since the voltage/amps/heat are off the charts..... but kinda late once they made a pile of miners and HAD to ship them regardless..(I think I got the first miner with 4 VRM boards since it also has a board made with 8, maybe the last one? )  so they play dumb about how the extra VRMs didn't mean anything..even though I post a picture of bertmod's firmware showing the voltage/amp difference all in one miner..

so yeah, that is why their hosting probably didn't get far early on too since that must of been a bake fest until they got .95 out the door to cool them down


tl;dr  they wouldn't flat ship without the fans/heatsinks/cases for those that asked but sure did rip out VRMs, etc and send you a case that overheats and fans that fly everywhere during shipping


happy mining!!!


  

I was a june 10th order, got mine last week Monday

Maybe we should start a separate thread and get everyone wanting to go through with this.  there is no way they are going to provided by the 15th.  and i have sent a few e-emails my self to knc.  And i keep telling them if they can not ship by the 15th i want a refund,  Or  some sort of fair compensation,  they just keep saying there is no refunds at this time.  Yadda yadda ..  and ignore the  questions about compensation.   This is getting old very fast.   And wow a day one order and still have not received it???  I have a july 3rd order my self.  been in processing since last Friday.

@samo

No news on your order? Have you sent an email to customer support with your order number and payment details??

Hopefully it wont have to come to this, but there lack of silence is glaring, especially since we have to get vague  answers via pm, or from someone who doesn't even work for them in any official capacity, yet still carries there torch so to speak. Hopefully they'll do the right thing, if not then count me in for any legal action if absolutely necessary, shoot me a pm. Bottom line Knc we need to hear from you please, not anybody else. (day 1, 23x order for the record)

More testing to do.

lol really? 25% free hash. that's not fair for ppl who got their rigs already which they paid earlier than you

Quoting myself from KNC forums:

"KNC, what compensation will you provide for orders shipped past Oct 15th? You need to offer us, the buyers, your proposed form of compensation before the deadline so we can decide whether we accept it or not, in which case some of us might opt out for a full refund.

Here are some suggestions:

- 0.35 BTC/day/board, starting Oct 16th or
- 25% free hashing power delivered at the same time with our main order, if order will be delivered until 21st Oct, more after that date to reflect difficulty increase

Anything less and I'm considering cancelling my order and legal action if you refuse full refund."

Some happy user that received his unit/s commented:
"1.4 a day is best case scenario running a jupiter.. real world is not that easy. this isn't going to happen anyway but if so i would then like to get compensation for each day that I was running less than 1.4 for each miner "

My answer to that is:
"I have absolutely nothing against KNC performing any kind of benefactor actions for its customers out of their good will. However, I based my requests out of legal obligation towards customers who suffer losses due to their false commercial claims. In easy words: they don't "owe" you anything cause you received your miners until 15th, now they are in a "guilty" position towards customers that didn't receive miners until 15th. A serious company would most likely go with impressive compensations at this point, but, indeed, I don't expect KNC to do that. They live under the false impression that they are legally covered by those terms, but it's not the case because any court of law in EU will consider those terms to vague to constitute a viable contractual clause, while a clearly stated claim posted on their front page of miners being delivered until 15th will be consider commercially binding."

Yes, it is the time for Sam and co to go have a serious talk to their lawyers about the fee they payed for those business terms, cause they're about to face a shitstorm of valid claims from customers!

And to clarify this, you can indeed use a contractual clause that "delivery delays won't be sanctioned towards the seller" but even for "future sale promise" a date of completion must be specified. If it's not, the contractual clause is considered "illegal" and therefore, void.
