Just trying to help out with all the panicking so far witnessed in here Roll Eyes

9. A combination of a bit of every possible scenario listed. Tongue

Possible scenarios:

1. Chips are done, packaged and already in their hands. Specs are great as estimated. They're working non stop at the moment to make the first rig happen.

2. Chips are not done (not done packaging) and still in China. They're praying for them to be done quickly and hopefully ship to them before 1st Oct so they can get a rig up and running.

3. Chips are done, packaged and already in their hands. Specs are lower than estimated. Power is off the charts and GH/s is underwhelming. They're trying to figure out a solution now.

4. Chips are done, packaged and not in their hands yet. Custom delays.

5. Everything is done. Specs are confirmed to be great. However datacenter is not 100% online yet. The mining pool/control panel is not operational yet. They're waiting to get that 100% up and running before shipping anything.

6. Chips turn out to be duds. They're shitting themselves right now.

7. Chips are done and on spec. However software side of thing still not 100% done. They're currently tweaking and working the code / playing around with the hardware.

8. Chips are done and on spec. However, it turns out they've made a mistake on the PCB or that the power required is way more than what it can happen. So it needs to be reprinted/redone. Delays delays delays.

Is each individual owner better with the 600GH/s or is the benefit cancelled out by the fact the each has it?

The benefit would only be canceled if the only gear hashing came from KNC.  Since there are non-KNC miners out there, and you're competing against them for the slice of the coin caek, it's obviously an advantage to have more hashing power.

Did they receive the packaged chips from the fab yet?
If yes did they pass the validation test on the first assembled unit(s)

this is, how mighty KNC customer service works. yesterday I asked them, if previous mail from Anna with statement, that "Your order is expected to ship towards the end of September" is still valid or not.

today:

HI,
 All orders have now been sent for production and will be shipped after their completion.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Does anyone know:
1) If the chips have been tested on production boards.
2) If (1), why no pics/vids/specs?  Seems a bit cruel.
3) If the miners are being assembled in China or Sweden.
4) If in China, will they be tested there & be distributed to customers from China (improbable), or be shipped to Sweden first (transport & customs delays)?

Have anyone made any calculations how much better or worse we are as a group of customers (1000s) if the hashrate of each device is increased by 30% or 50%?

A very rough example:

1000 Jupiters 500GH/s each vs 1000 Jupiters 600GH/s

Is each individual owner better with the 600GH/s or is the benefit cancelled out by the fact the each has it?
In a static environment (yeah right) it would be
1563TH (current network)
+500TH (our miners)
--------+
2063TH (new world)

our miners would have 500/2063*100=24.2% of the network

same calculation for 600TH gives us 27.7% of the network

no one knows and as you can see, customer service is now useless.
Can you Xialla and everyone else stop WHINING LIKE CHILDREN, we're all getting really sick of it.

There are still 3 and a bit more days left in September.

On 1st October, if there is no update, cry all you want.

Until then, stop WHINING. It's very tiresome and unmanly.

Huh? There would have to be no other miners but us for it to be better not to have more hashes.

otherwise, KNC promised me to deliver Jupiter until end of September. once they failed, I will resend them their mails with promise and ask for full refund. If they will not refund me, I will start legal steps - within EU it is super easy and customer rights are here on another level (compared to China)

do KNC have a customer support or do reply always one of the founder?                                        

they have some girl called Anna.)

ahh thanks! hopefully she is not only working part time. Wink

They advertised for support staff some weeks back. It was on their site. I think the handing over of rigs was mentioned on day one, that being part of the job.

Of course they do.  Would she have any other name?   Grin

Hmm, I wonder if she's blonde, by any chance?
