In that news email they say on schedule etc etc Q1/Q2 . No wonder they aren't bothered about timing so much, they obviously developed a time machine because Q1 is well gone now.
The Jups etc. were KNC partnered with ORSOC, they made big play on this expertise. KNC were simply a marketing company with ORSOC doing the real work, and neither with experience of the nuts and bolts of manufacturing and what comes after like packing ( a skill they still seem not to have mastered). As we know, the tech side went great, the marketing went great...what each was good at. The rest, not good at all really.
So the current situation is KNC marketing again using every trick in the book to seperate customers and their cash. The same people looking after customers...no-one much. But why, after they did so well 1st time aren't ORSOC involved this time? The fact that they aren't seems important to me. At the very least it means that anything prior to this product may as well be another company and past engineering and design work is not to be used for predicting what is happening now because different people are involved as well as different product specs.
I hope anyone who saw the light had their cash back, those who still sing the song of fanboi deserve what they get
my feeling is from other comments by brock pierce on his involvement in the china operation of KNC and other things I've seen in bitcointalk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_Pierce and other places it looks like at least after january with the data center decision his 'group' has the
controls of knc..this is my view...but what the heck ...off i go speculating
imho .he and his investment group....suddenly got a lot more clout with KNC probably around the time they
decided to expand into the large data center...somewhere around Dec IMHO ...the chip guys probably said they can not deploy chips fast enough to get to units to get to
customers to make money..at least at 28mm ..not to mention the 20mm development needed for Neptune....ie investment group steps in more money/co-sign loans whatever
so to hedge the bet that expanded farm with the excuse plan B..in case the chip guys were correct...
..as soon say around feb it became obvious they were making more money
then god on the farm due to the fact that amt/hasfast/conterra/bfl etc none of them showed anything much in spring 2014 with difficulty probably
way lower then their expectations when they first planned the farm
all bets were off and screw us guys...tossed out of the KNC parade if not right away as swiftly as possible
now with BTC at 450 usd of so .....imho the investment group now brock pirece has even more clout (notice KNC cloud, KNC wallet, KNC wanting to get into banking etc)
So they have moved on ..wrap up the Neptune process with equip (eventually) and/or virtual mining of the same .then data hall full speed ahead
again imho
I was confused by the Titan..but when you think about it ...it is 28mm based on the Jupiter box...so I expect when/if I get a Titan unit say aug/sept they will
announce their 28mm scrypt miner farm...ie swap up same arrangement in data center bitcoin boards out scrypt boards and viola...as the bitcoin 28mm
become paper weights..the 28mm boards for titans slip into place ...viola
anyway my ramblings ..but the shift was so rapid some kinda reshuffling and it is my guess the investment guys want to keep as many
marbles as they can..thus the shift to the big data farm ....again imho it makes no sense if they wanted to be a mnfg company and no one
else was shipping end of dec to spring ..hell we should have been able as they initially stated get upgrade boards and 28mm product etc
They decided they no longer wanted to be a manufacturer of consumer miners..they want to be a consumer of their own products....again my view.
the fact they pulled the plug and did the data farm says a lot imho on who's really in charge with KNC and I don't think it is the guys we
dealt with on equip last fall..for all I know they said 'sure' and jumped on the parade float....
anyway my 'guess' on all this but imho it hangs together pretty well
only thing i'm sure of is eventually we will see a Titan Farm imho
