seems like a negative connotation to me and not even accurate.  that's where i have a problem with it.  are you a shill by virtue of the fact that you've bought a KNC machine and may be interested in their Reseller Program?

What is this "may" stuff? I'm either interested or I'm not. Obviously pretty much everyone on this board has economic incentives for certain things to happen, and every comment should be read with people's economic incentives in mind. But one obvious fact is that if HashFast fails, it will mean more bitcoin for everyone who didn't pre-order for them. Everyone should read

But that said, in my view it looks like HashFast is looking to capture most or all of the profit off this, and their "investomers" will barely get anything, if they don't end up with a straight up loss. The same thing is also true for KnC - and I wouldn't even recommend people buy them now because it's not at all clear when in October you'll get your unit. The difference between October 1st and October 25th will likely be huge on the device's lifetime ROI.

Also you forgot to mention that I'm a Labcoin investor.  I kind of hope the share price goes down in the short run, since I want to get some more shares at a low price - but aside from that, unlike both KnC and HashFast customers - if labcoin succeeds then I   should get a chunk of that.  Whereas pure retailers can make vast fortunes while the people who actually paid for it get hardly anything - just look at BFL, as well as people who purchased Avalon chips. Avalon and BFL still got all that money. At least in those cases it was a high risk - very high reward opportunity.   In this case it's still pretty high risk, but the potential reward is ridiculously low given all the competition.

Anyway, that's the difference between being an investor and simply paying for someone else to make a massive profit.

as long as we can stay away from name calling or spurious allegations of fraud or this or that i'm certainly willing to listen to your opinion.  there's alot of good logic in what you have to say.  if i were you, i would demand certain answers from the principals involved about their refund policy.  i'm interested in hearing the answers too.

i guess the only thing i'm saying is that i am aware of certain features of their program which haven't yet been revealed in a detailed manner that have the potential to make you very happy.  just give them a chance to explain.  i'm pushing them to get this stuff out to you guys asap.
