It surprises me there is lil more no bets considering such optimism here
There were two more 'yes' bets today. What more do you want

Some people are clearly using it to hedge, they have orders with KNC but are betting no anyway. Either way, if KNC ships or doesn't, they lose less
Even i made an bet @ sept 1st voting YES, bought an mercury, plus some shares for 1,5 BTC for people buying KNC, i trust KNC because their european, swedish and i have a good feeling about it.
Now as far for the chips, i think they have them already but due to the high production / development costs
They are not showing it yet, because other MF could copy the basic design of the chips and they don't want that.
Maybe im talking bullshit big time here so lets call this my personal speculation (@ least an optimistic one) :-)
