Bitcoinorama, I don't have a dog in the ring, but I am in your corner.  Please, review the posts here about hosting, and, if representations were in fact made concerning timely uptimes, beseech KnC to make good on those representations.

Just about everything has been done in a way that has made their performance the anti-BFL, anti-Avalon provider; the good will being generated is assuredly huge and valuable to them.  Time and resources are undoubtedly scarce, but please don't let that reservoir of good will be drained by things that slip through the cracks which could be avoided with a little care.

Just sayin' ...

Loredo I understand, but I know you realise this was not atypical engineering, they've achieved in 24 hours what others couldn't in a year. Then have given a superhuman effort to ensure you get yours. Customers are prioritised over everything, especially sleep. So if cracks are appearing it's because they need a little rest, and have been fully hands on. Resources aren't scarce per se, but now the product is here, other hands need to pick up what's required and fast.

In any case, Sam is on his way to the datacentre now, alas I'm not, as the van he took had space for two, and he prioritised the software engineers, now some of you may argue that was a logical choice, but at least I've now had a shower.

Seriously though if it's not online tonight, check tomo morn. They've all had very little sleep since Sun, but hosting is their (Sam, Andreas and the software engineers) priority now. Rem. they only got the boards to where they wanted by this morn, so tomo really is the first full day of ramped up production. What we did today was the lot of us racing against each other to get as many out the door and prep the facility staff so they are upto speed. So today wasn't the full quota, but we did the best we could. Also UPS had all waybills, all, they were double checked I even have a photo of Sam doing just that. That needs to be addressed to customer services though, I cannot help you there.

I'll be with Marcus and Michael again, who are getting their first decent night rest now, in the manufacturing facility tomo. Tomo night I'm 100% back to Stockholm.

Thanks for the update o'rama - appreciated....  I don't think any one here except ur0pl is panicking, I'm just curious more than anything else and hoping for the winds of fate (and that hot looking UPS girl from the Bitfury thread) to deliver me some day-1 miners before the weekend....

[Xialla]

meeh, I hope that all 1st day orders will be shipped tomorrow, because if not, we will not get them before weekend and I don't think that UPS delivering during weekend.(

Sam is on his way to the datacentre now,  ... Tomo night I'm 100% back to Stockholm.

And here I was, just yesterday, imagining you guys in London, livin' it up in Piccadilly, waiting to fly first class to do your victory laps in Atlanta this weekend.  

Hope you still get to do that, but, in the meantime, you -and of course KnC overall - have my utmost respect.

I trust I speak for those directly aided by your efforts:  Thanks, Man.

This is great news.  Thank you for the update.

PLEASE GIVE ME MY UNIT.

Do you honestly think the KNCminer staff have time to sit down and read forum like this atm? No, they are building and shipping units.  I don't understand why people post questions or instructions for KNCMiner here when there is little chance they will be read.

It's cool dudes, much as it was your own choice to take a leap of faith, I feel partly responsible for talking these guys up, but I know a good thing when I see it, and a lot of you kept your heads and backed me up, so I want to see you hashing, and fwiw before me, as well.

I'd agree with that sentiment.  I think I scared the people that were in the lanes next to me as I cheered wildly all the way home from work.  The level of professionalism throughout the entire experience has been fantastic.  I am interested to hear what people are hashing at when these puppies get online.  Long Live KNC.

what the f... happen with bitcoin rate???

Silk Road was busted, Dread Pirate Roberts is a killer and people is crapping their pants.

True story: http://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/UlbrichtCriminalComplaint.pdf

Thank you for this link!

What a hell of a story.  Incredible detail, murder for hire, network architecture.  Fascinating stuff.  And, ironically, while Dread Pirate Roberts was living in San Franscisco, he went by the name "Josh."  Sometimes reality gives you stuff you could never ever think to make up.

He's certain to be looking at Maximum Security Life Without Parole on multiple counts.  Unless he starts to sing, loud and long...

The UPS express option allows for deliveries on saturdays I think.

LOL.  Same here...

Twinkies, Pizza, endless cups of coffee.  Looking up at the clock and realizing it's now 4:00 AM, and that you you sat down at 5:30 to make "just one last little change" before going home for the night and ended up re-writing two shared libraries that were causing problems because the code wasn't reentrant....

[Paladin69]

Got so distracted by the SR stuff that I lost track of what people are talking about with tracking numbers.

tl:dr help plz...
Are there any "Day 2" people showing theirs has left Stockholm?  My Day 2 order #300 range is still on "In Progress".

I worked ~4 years in datacenter. I know, that it seems somehow sexy and exciting: racks, cables, cisco equipment, everything is blinking, fan noise, geek porn.. but after couple of years of stress, night shifts, noise and cold inside...well, is better in the office.)
