No one should be ordering at this point, period.

They need $3.5mill in pre-orders to fund the chip run, similar to the once off funding issues BFL had for the first wafer run.


My main concern is the 250watts of each chip. I don't know of any chip with that much power consumption, it will need fans like a whole GPU card and more. The package will need a massive TDP rating. eg. a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, one of the most power consuming CPU's of all time, was about half that rating.


I won't be ordering until these things are out in the field and proven. I am not a lab rat.

Ordered a Mercury... Order # 31xx... Fuuuuuuuu!!!!!
So I'm guessing this means there's probably a minimum of 600 th/s worth of orders in front of me? I hope I've worked that out wrong

Yep, ASICMiner is in front of you.  They will resell you shares @ 1000% markup so they can buy more KnC for themselves.

Uggh. Really, more of this crap? As far as I know, Bitfountain (the owners of ASICMiner) hasn't sold a single share since they IPOed at .1 BTC/share, back in September 2012.

yeah let's not forget the pre-order placement is more important than these order numbers.

I had a low pre-order spot

I guess if KnC went the extra mile they could of listed everyone's preorder spot along with their order# and their day1, day2 etc

then it would make it easier for everyone to digest

order # does not mean PAID order #... its much lower the actual # of paid orders


+1, probably at leat 50% of orders are cancelled or not paid

If that is all it is, just 24 hours and actually means "days"...then no big deal.  I thought maybe it was large groups that wait for many weeks in between.
I never considered that... stop it, lol


Sad
Someone needs to ask that Q to clarify!   "How many days between shipping day 1, and shipping day 2?"


Just e-mailed sales.  I'll post when I get a reply.

Day 1 here as well for a Jupiter with order number 8##  Grin
Ordered 6/4 and payment cleared 6/7. Was not one of the 1-500.

Hopefully this is a good sign that they can scale to any number they need to. I just feel bad for anyone who bought one of those 1-500 pre-orders at a premium from someone else. They could have ordered today and probably only been 2 days behind everyone else.

Really? That's interesting actually, since I'm in the exact same boat (paid 6/4, order #8xx) and I'm just showing "Paid" on the status. Bummer dude Sad

Sounds like you're looking at your order status page instead of the tracking tool on the front page. Make sure you get your tracking number from the details of your order under order history. Then plug that into the "order tracking" tool at the bottom of the homepage.

Those who are Day 1, did you pay with BTC?

My order #'s are 384, 388 and 392.  I am Day 2.  Wondering if it was because I used paypal.  Shitty.

no I used paypal also, and I'm day 1, actually used both methods 1 paypal 1 BTC both day 1

yay...WTF

I'm sure Sam is busy, who can I contact?


My order was #53, and I'm day 2, so...what's the big deal about 24 hours, lol?


I wonder if it has something to do with when we registered interest with our names/e-mails.  I know I did that part kinda late.  Probably only a few weeks before the actual money collecting began.
