It would be very useful to have an estimate on how many TH/s KnCMiner is planning to ship & deploy from September to the end the year. This is a very important point, as in the mining business if you deploy too many TH/s you are actually killing any ROI possibility for all your customers. I hope they have a plan to protect their customers investment - please advise.
I did ask and they said their customer's ROI is a priority. They can only sell items that give a return. That their pricing has never been too cheap, it's a case of predicting future global hashrate. They said they have a few options to make sure customers get a return.
Thanks for that but I guess everybody would appreciate a concrete answer. What they plan to do? Firstly and foremost, how many TH/s are they planning to ship&deploy, and how fast? This is the very first step in a "paln" to make sure customers get a return.
I'm not sure I can answer that question. Email Sam and ask. I know BFL weren't forthcoming when I asked. After the forum Q&A's were asked, questions around this area did surface and numbers were thrown around by other forum members which were in line with what had been sold at that point (a week ago). I'm not sure if that was on, or off-record so I won't comment unless allowed to. It wasn't a worry at that point. As JohnyJ stated; 28nm will lead the chip production for the foreseeable future as the benchmark should they achieve this.
