So either its that, and you get screwed by difficulty, or you believe most or all of them are exaggerating/lying, in which case, chances are your rig wont arrive in time either.
You are screwed either way, unless you get lucky enough that your miner does ship roughly on time, and almost none of the others. Good luck with that.

Two other ways to do OK:
Be on the hardware development team

or
Be a well known miner dev
Then you usually end up waiting less than most people so you can get things working for when people get the hardware.
We don't get too many "Thanks for writing cgminer - fuck you - ha ha" like KnC have done

The last time that happened was ... ages ago ... Enterpoint.

Edit: oh funny I forgot - the last time was actually Avalon Cheesy

So twice

Thank you Kano for an awesome free piece of software. I'm sure others myself included will be tipping you for your contributions.

I'm sure KNC will do right by you Kano when the dust settles.. it seems they were trying to stay in 6th gear the whole time and didn't want to deal with shipping to devs and waiting for code, so they went their own on that.

Plus many miners including me will be sending out tips once everything is rolling for sure

thanks mate... I even have to send a few to LukeJr for making a simple as pie bfgminer build that my USBees and ModMiner been running on win7

Sam Cole, co-founder of KnCMiner, said the fabrication process of the chips has been completed and they are now on their way to an assembly house in Asia, before being shipped to KnCMiner’s offices in Sweden in around six days’ time

The more important bit of info from this is that, as believed by some of us here to begin with, KNC is having folks physically transport the chips during these transits, in order to bypass customs delays.

Where exactly did you read that? I certainly dont read it in the quoted paragraph. "they" clearly refers to the chips and the verb "shipping" implies something else as travelling. Have you ever been "shipped" ?

you just exposed yourself as a clown AGAIN.. let's bet on KNC having personal couriers ok?? money where your brainfart right?

this is a sure thing Tongue

in any case we're talking about open source (actually free software) project and as long as KnC will respect CGminer license (GPLv3) everybody will be happy, no?

I'm sure someone will come up with new fears now. "These folks will take the chips and run!!!"

Not a bad idea! Wink

-> 25 wafer from a rocket lot
-> about 500 working chips @ 100 GH/s per wafer
-> market price today? $5 per GH/s?

$6M in small box somewhere in Asia! Wink

Past seasons of Underbelly would have me worried about Aussie organized crime ripping the shipment off.

Not even EVGA, Gigabyte, or Intel could tell you a precise day... They have no control over shipping.

None of them would ever promise product shipment just weeks after receiving A0 silicon either.

Keep in mind that Bitfury's first announced distributor Metabank (if you think of Bitfury as Orsoc and Metabank as KnCminer) is having all sorts of assembly problems:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3171576

Yikes. Those things are made if bendy plastic, the motherboards "attached" with cardboard, and the caps squished up against the heat sinks.

... and BitFury's mining software sux too
