Does anyone know if knc is legit? I am really interested in buying 1 of their miners, but I am not sure.
They have enough funding through pre-orders to deliver... but so does/did Avalon and BFL and they have both lost all credibility to deliver anything including accurate updates. Right now people are guardedly optimistic about KnC and some are extremely vocally optimistic (bitcoinarama).
My advice would be to hold off on a KnC purchase until Nov. as they have announced that they will be lowering their pricing ($7000 -> ~$5000?), and that point it will be clear if they have delivered or not. It will probably be a mad scrum though when they announce the new pricing so if you want to jump in then, you will have to be quick.
Only in as much as I have visited them and acknowledged their design capability and expectations.
For the sake of those not wishing to visit them, they have posted as much professional info, ref: Linkedin's, Company Details, etc. as desired. ORSoC has more than enough experience, check them out and make up your own mind. For me it made sense to take a trip over there. It's a lot of money at stake, but London to Stockholm is an easy flight.
I certainly wouldn't expect anyone one individual, or group of individuals to make up your own mind, so do what ever research is required that satisfies whatever decision you come to. It's your choice to make.
