I pre-ordered, but no payment was required. I'm hoping that we won't have to pay until shipment Smiley

This is funny. There are many scams, but so far there is nothing to suggest KNC is a scam, infact, quite to the contrary.
...

Then you didn't read the complete bullshit in their very first post:
...
We will in the upcoming weeks opening our order book to allow the purchase of our first set of ASIC miners. They are in the early stages of development now and will be ready in the summer of 2013 (yes in just a few months)
...

They never take a single cents from us ... not like butterfly who took the money for a year and no delivery.. if they is delivery at all?

So they are a scam because they allow pre-orders? No one is telling you that you have to pre-order.
Many legit companies have pre-orders. Infact anything you buy a ticket for later use is a pre-order, so movie tickets are a scam too?

It's not shame to be fast, albeit that sounds a bit too fast but somehow i doubt it's impossibly fast with skilled people (OrSoC).

EDIT: Just to be clear, i'm not saying either way, only that it is possible this is not a scam so far.

KNC -> legit company
KNC partnering with OrSoC -> Actually needed know-how being used
OrSoC -> legit company in operation for a really long time
OrSoC -> confirms the partnership

All that being said, with all the scams going on i'd be a skeptic too.

Let's just wait they tell us something more.

My guess is that those who shout the loudest that this is a definite scam, will be the first ones to order a unit, and they probably ordered from every ASIC scam out there too.

Perhaps as a bonus KNCminer's business parters could be scared away from this venture by the rabid hordes calling the phones off the hook demanding to preorder right at this minute, having one of their employees constantly on the phone and not getting any work done.

I wonder what all those other 11 employees are doing... Contrary to what Sherlock Holmes (aka mobodick ) believes, they are probably not all bakers.
If it was a bakery that sells to the public, and perhaps even have their own food serving area, then of those 11 I'd expect 4 bakers, 3 sales/serving staff, 2 patissiers and 1 HR/admin person and 1 cleaning staff. (Baking is made at night/early morning, and the day staff takes care of the sales.)

In a more industrial bakery, that sells to stores and businesses rather than directly to the public, you can cut the sales staff and add more bakers.

In a ASIC developing company, that doesn't interact with the public either, you'd be more served to put together a team where each engineer has slightly different, but also overlapping, expertise. There might be one HR/admin staff, but the rest of the employees could be engineers. Cleaning and security is typically outsourced. Even the owners could be engineers.

So yeah, they're probably just needing more people. Or perhaps one of their employees is moving to a different part of the country, is retiring or is going on pregnancy leave.
If it's a BTC bakery, then yes. 11 PresidentCxOIdeamen and 1 baker. Sounds like the usual to me.
Touché. And the 1 baker would have a full time job in a bank, and remote control the bread making machines on his spare time.

However, this company isn't really a BTC company. They're in it for the dirty SEK.

Bakery with 11 employees posts advertisement asking for a baker. You would assume that lab member 12 is the first baker that they hire?

7K is not bad.....I am just not trying to do double digits. Especially since now people are talking about Rigs that can pull 1TH in the near future.

Well, you said you wanted 100-200GHs for $2.5k, maximum you will get is 10GHs for $7k. You can bid here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1874563
