Dear kncminer. Can I pay by "cash on delivery" or once the product is ready for shipping? I'm located in Helsinki, Finland
I'm scared to pay before the products are finished, demonstrated, and packaged for shipping.

Also the Mars miner price point seems high to me. BFL's non-existing BitForce 5 GH/s SC miner is advertised at $274.00, which might actually make ROI, if they ship during this year.

6GH+/s miner at $ 2,795.00 is likely to never meet ROI.. 6500Mhash @dif 8974296.01489/ profit per Month $1,524.78, but fact is that difficulty will take 2 huge leaps for every following month. In couple months the profit figure is probably near $100 per month.

Upgrade protection built in to any Mars purchase with vouchers for up to $2000 off of any Jupiter purchase.

Does this mean, that I get $2000 off Jupiter price with a single Mars purchase?

Mars could still mine alternative coins even when bitcoin mining would become unprofitable. That's it's main advantage to me.

What's so special about this FPGA that it can mine anything other than a sha256(sha256()) coin?

The entire point of the FPGA is to tie you into purchasing the ASIC for 7k when it arrives. The issue is whether there will be better avenues for your cash or whether mining will still be reasonable profitable at that point at least for return on investment. The earliest you will see the ASIC is September and that's being optimistic.

You put down 3k now but your return is when you get the ASIC at a later date...hopefully!
