Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com

So, is it still possible to win the bitbet? Would 5 units delivered for hosting at the KNC datacenter count?

Maybe you can try to talk to them. I am available in Stockholm for a pickup, and so is Orama, maybe Anduck. Maybe 2 other hidden swedes. But I feel they would have to squeeze those boxes it at the last second and maybe people contacted at the last second by KNC...

I got a truck on standby to go and pick up our customers miners. Normally we don't allow photography in the data center, but the miners has been given their own room, so with permission from the owners you could get pics of rows and rows of miner within 30mins of release at KNC.

I think I wet my pants from overexcitement

Also many thanks for all the photos and video Orama

Wish I could visit the factory as well 

Cheers!

I would like to see Stockholm tonight as well. My clothes are there!!!

Well, Sweden is liberal that way. Just mind where you point your camera.

(and beware of mirrors and other reflective surfaces. thank you.)

Orama,  has KnC started mass production, or are we looking at pics of testing, setting up machines and production lines etc ? Do they plan to work through the night, or do the lights go out there in a few hours?

No, 5 reputable users. I guess they missed bitbet by few days.

Today is still September - there aren't 5 'reputable' users with hosted units?

I have a day 1 hosted unit and wouldn't mind assisting.

Well done Orama, it's a great watch.

Well done Orama, it's a great watch.

all of sudden everybody is quiet... I know what you're doing. You're looking for the perfect image to put on page 600

That video is truly brilliant! You should get as much footage as possible and do some interviews and make a documentary!

Josh is assuredly bound to be disappointed:

  yay, progress!

Thank you very much Bitcoinorama for all those pictures and the vid, much appreciate!

however that's it so far I'm happy about - still no pickup infos/no info when to take a day off from office 
Seems like KnC thinks everybody is unemployed chilling all week long in front of a screen at home waiting for the packet to arrive??


As one can see some pics do miracles and it does not take long for posting them.
Even more disappointing that we need Bitcoinorama to post them as KnC is simply too busy  and prefers shitstorms instead.
I still do not get their silence the last days though, as you can see some pics do miracles.

Maybe it's strategic stuff:
Instead of releasing infos which still do not help you to make your dealine and stick to all your marketing statements, you let ppl go crazy.
The more and more FUD, worst case scenarios and similar appear the more ppl are panicking and run around like headless chickens.

Then you finally show some infos that those FUD spreading and imaginary worst cases did not take place - and immediately most are happy and celebrating. Therefore leaving minor negative mosaics completely out of sight they would complain about otherwise.
"Hooray, not the worst case!!"

Sorry for disturbing the bright picture again, I know some can't stand it as it does not fit into their rosy picture.
Let me add I do not love complaining - honestly I hate it.
I'd love to praise KnC for matching the bright picture...but...as you know..

Yes, it's still in their hands to make everyone -in addition to themselves- happy and IF they really make it somehow, I'm going to praise them each and every morning. You see I'm still optimistic while facing the facts.

That's rationalization.

A negative emotion has a bigger impact than a positive one, they don't cancel out. Humans are made like that.

If you're a good businessman, you keep your customers happy, soothe their feelings when things aren't going your way.

Would be awesome to have a webcam setup there..

And now....Where are all the trolls that put in doubt Bitcoinorama ?? Huuu !?

Good Job KNCminer and Bitcoinorama.

This reminds me of when Avalon was supposed to deliver, then didn't for two more months.  I have 3 devices on pre-order so I'm just as anxious as the rest of you, but I don't think a single ASIC company has delivered when they said they would, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

(They better not take too long or I won't make any money.  if they delay they better start shipping more horse power to make up for it)

Avalon mined 2 month with my batch 2 miner, before sending it.. fact : so much dust in the fans, I already need to replace those fans, as they are now used and makes a lot more noise.
Avalon took from me around 300 BTC.. Now, I've calculated that I may not break even..

Imo, for now and the rest of 2013, no asic miner will break even.. I'll let the asic market mature before thinking about any miner purchase..

What do I do with all of the colored easter eggs I bought now?

You can try auctioning them off, like you did with your Terrahash pre-order

yeah a good point so far, in general you better keep them as satisfied as possible for sure
however you have to admit the situation the last days is not an average one, so the average solution may not work

I had an Orama of success

I think that final
All is good

I never told anything against bitcoinorama. actually, he is doing great job now.

I'm only bitching about 2 facts.

*KNC promised delivery (later shipping) until end of September (to my mail, on their site, in this thread, on coindesk...)

*KNC offer full refunds until shipping date (in this thread)

both of these statements are very easily to prove. so, why nobody still have miner/tracking number and why nobody can ask for refund, when nobody knows shipping date? sorry, but this is not simple trolling without facts in background. and of course, pictures/videos are geek porn and looks amazing - even if miner is almost without any ROI.

Wait for Easter.
