Your place is only worth something if you have already paid.
The order you'll get your unit is determined by when you send them money - so... if you have not paid, then a number from a contact form doesn't have much value.

Hi, Actually this is NOT true
We will open up the order books soon and give everyone a chance to pay for their preorder (7 days), We will then ship them based on the preorder registration number, not when the order was paid for
as long as the order is paid for within the 7 days we will honor the queue placement. if you pay on day 8 you will simply enter the queue from the back
I hope this helps
if you do sell your order number all I will need is an email from both parties and I will do the rest, they will get your queue placement. it cant however be for more than your registered amount of boxes and we will not split preorders into multiplies
Sam@kncminer.comSo if somebody that preordered a few units but never intends to buy your merchandise will be able to sell his preorders. And a actual customer who who is willing to pay and has the money will have to wait in line. Great way to do business , even better than BFL.
I was enthusiastic about KnCminer products, but you are doing your best to piss us off.
First VAT not this , whats next ? We will be able to pickup orders only from the Moon ?
) i like the Moon idea here..
First, i Do Not defend KnC in any way! BUT: i know for sure, that you need preorder money to make things happen. Of course, you should see progress, real transparency and results within 2 months after paying (unlike with these BFL guys). I will be making the Klondike16 boards and the Avalon 80 chip boards (clones) here in romania and i Know For Sure that nobody is going to do jack for you without at least half of the costs paid upfront. In my case, this will easily turn into quite a few thousand euros, just to start moving things around the factory.. So i think preorder is good for business, but you don't ever play with people's money!
