I dont think so, theyre going to be huge like a toast. BFL does 2 ghs in half cpu size. theres no way knc can squeeze 100x that in 2x the space. Even if the nm is 2x smaller.
I'm not complaining, I want a giant chip

It looks like KnC is planning on a smaller unit, called Mercury (typo'd on the page). Cost $1,9995 - specs appear to be mis-copied from Jupiter. Check it out.

yep you're right, mis-copied is the right word: "Shipment begins in September"...

It looks like KnC is planning on a smaller unit, called Mercury (typo'd on the page). Cost $1,9995 - hashrate appears to be mis-copied from Jupiter since it's probably a single chip unit. Check it out.

That newsletter suggests the Jupiter draws 1,000watts and has 4 chips, that's 250watts per chip!

Thats 2,5 Watt per GH Wink

Also, odd grasp of English Josh demonstrates there; using two adjectives of similar meaning next to eachother;

'Assuredly,' and 'bound'. In this context they mean the same thing.

One would say; "you're assured to be disappointed", or "you're bound to be disappointed", but one would never say, "you're almost assuredly bound to be disappointed", that's nonsense.

This is compounded by the fact 'almost' introduces an element of doubt into the sentence, that negates the 'assured'/'binding' disappointment promised by Josh.

Bizarre.

Only thing I'm certain of is; Josh requires remedial English classes...or isn't fully 'assured' his competition is 'bound' to fail to meet deadlines, let alone as many deadlines as Butterfly Labs have routinely failed to meet, every two weeks^tm!! Grin

err, we should egg him to put his money where his mouth is on bitbet...

Hi Guys

Sorry for butting in in your discussion but don't buy any power supplies yet.

We will have a large Technical announcement coming next week. Where we will give even more accurate Power figures and GH/s.

It will be a significant announcement which I hope will make all of our customers happy. and no before you ask I wont reveal any details before that newsletter goes out Smiley

again please don't buy a 1200W power supply you simply will not need one that powerful or expensive.

From his statement seem like the Asic Chip has not been order?? "We will have a large Technical announcement coming next week. Where we will give even more accurate Power figures and GH/s." ?? are they still playing around with the chip??

Well his words are a little disingenuous to 'almost assuredly bind^tm" to a bet currently, maybe he's learnt?? Grin

Currently he's; "Not quite certain that he's definitely certain...".

I don't know how you could bet for, or against that. Huh

Perhaps Josh has a more capable grasp of the English language than I've given him credit for, and he's fully aware of the wagering connotation of every belief he espouses!!?

At least this way he could never win, or lose! Roll Eyes

KNC needs to Proof him Wrong.

Well, Josh is an expert in missing targets. No one has missed more shipping dates, target specs, than he has.

G**dam*it, that was going to be my witty retort! You beat me to it!! Tongue

Not to break this circlejerk but i have the same opinion and i'm watching this from the beginning. kncminer = next BFL ? Chances are higher than you want to believe ;-)

Disclaimer : I have a kncminer pre-order.

No one knows which statement is correct unless a sample can be provided. I'm still looking on the "Gibberish" while I have copied many avatars to follow up, currently only the pyramining is fully trusted while the other is questionable. The provider will answer some of our question soon as Cloudhashing has some feedback, which starts from July. Perhaps 31 st July? May be the answer...

Can someone tell me please if I order a miner now when would I get it? Tons of post here... Grin

Do we know the number of orders so far?

Any video or picture of a working unit?

Thanks!

We only know the 890 at least, more will come. Please refer their news.
