And following through to PayPal Payment, this is what is presented. And THAT is what it should be:

Quote

Item total $5,596.00
   Tax $1,399.00
   Shipping and handling: $124.00

   Total $7,119.00 USD

Sorry for what have you attempted to order? The site seems too glitchy to be open for real orders...

A Jupiter ...
5596.00 + 1399.00 = 6995.00 The advertised price ie. VAT included Angry

I know I've emailed about this, and the basket glitches. I was wondering if the price stated was to include VAT originally...

EDIT: MAT542, odd...I also was given a no-vat price at completion....still don't understand the pre-ordering?! Presumably none of this is complete and live?

You must be doing something wrong :

Anyways, order went through. And it seems they started at #1 again.

Yes, it also appears you can no longer pre-order...

The site has 'add to cart', and 'checkout' functions, but adding to cart is not quite functioning yet...

Indeed, it has a few flaws. I suppose they want to open orders sometime around the open days.

Yeah it's a bit glitchy it goes from, shipping cart empty, to having an orders, to empty, in any case nothing to pay. The checkout gives a choice of UPS courier; $240.80 for next day delivery to the UK, or 'Stockholm Pickup' $0, as the delivery options.

Bank Transfer, Paypal and Bitpay appear to be the payment options...

Front page has had one of the three sliders how images removed, though the Mars prototype picture is there.

FAQ harps had an update, mentioning ex-VAT in pricing and office location (the same as the ORSoC Stockholm HQ);

KnCMiner AB

Is the Mars unit gone from their pages? It's not showing up on my end.

Yep, same here. I guess only a limited number of units are needed to add confidence that they are serious...

Dude, there's also ASICminer for sure, potentially Bitfury as well.

BTC price I see floating between $100 and €100. Until they break through another psychologically important milestone. Perhaps --> ASICs --> more confidence investing in the currency because of a more secure and efficient network --> more vendors and merchants excepting the money transfer --> consumer confidence/interest --> etc.

I know about those two, but neither of those will have as big of an impact as BFL would if they actually fulfilled a large portion of their orders. Of course saying that that's highly unlikely is an understatement.

I don't really expect ASICs to increase confidence though, if anything, the relative stability of the btc price might do it. Of course, if nothing horrible happens in the coming months to bitcoin, it's definitely not going to drop too much either way.

@10,000 chips per group buy that = a potential 76 group buys!!!

Jspielberg was the forum member that confirmed this...

I'd assume about 200-400k are from group buys and another 150k from companies that plan to sell assembled units with a 200% profit margin.
Isn't it irrelevant though? We know that there are 760k chips being made and added to the network around August, that's all that matters when making projections. What is much more of an issue is whether BFL ships and to what ends; additionally if there are any other manufacturers/groups working in the background that add a lot of units.
I tried calculating ROI with 100 and 200m difficulty, that's where I expect it to be around October; but then it's all worthless anyway, it's pretty much impossible to project ROI since the price is going up and down all the time and the smallest news leave a huge impact. You can make estimates of difficulty but by the time KnCMiner ships the BTC price could be anywhere between $.1 and $600, and this is true all the same after you receive the miner, but it has an even worse effect; if BTC crashes then, you have no possibility of getting your money back.

it's been discussed countless times but there's going to be at least a tripling of hashrate before these units would arrive, maybe even 5x or higher (~262 TH/sec total from asicminer, and ~220 Th/sec from avalon chips, plus avalon batch units, plus whatever else)

Triple is nothing. At the current price/GHs you would do a HUGE profit with a Jupiter if the difficulty only went x3 by the moment you get it.

As it's scheduled for September/October, I would consider a difficulty of at least 70 million, and then an increase of at least x100 in the following 12 months (and I wouldn't be surprised by x300...)

If then diff. is any lower than that, better for everybody, but running simulations with anything lower 70m in October and x100 increase in the following 12 months is just absurd wishful thinking IMO.

To be honest, my concerns are the unknown identities Yifu mentioned in the background we don't know about.

Private equity that may have started development in February that we won't know about until they come online.

That is why it is so important we have as much legitimate competition in the open ASAP.

The Bitsyncom bulk chip purchase wallet had enough Bitcoins for 760,000 Avalon chips at their resale price last week.

We only know of a handful of 10k purchases from this forum alone. Who else are they selling to??

Um there are a shit load of group orders spread across maybe a dozen people, i haven't run the numbers but I think more chips are accounted for as open buys than as not

@10,000 chips per group buy that = a potential 76 group buys!!!

Jspielberg was the forum member that confirmed this...

There were group buy who did multiple orders (I think one of those did as much of 7 or 8 orders)... And you can b sure that the vast majority of the individuals who bought the chips for their own use are not advertising it on the forums.
