If the product ships on time, KNC's choice of skipping the testing stage will be seen as bold & daring. If they fail, well...
What product? The only product they have is the FPGA prototype and they are not building/shipping that.
Why you guys are so hyped up about KNC and its "products"?
Until they show a working ASIC chip, there is nothing to be excited about.
Did you already forget Avalon and BFL fiasco? Why do you think KNC will be any different?
Once (IF) they get any working ASIC, they will mine the shit out of it for a month or two, blame Chinese customs for delays and
maybe then ship few units to "supporters".
That earns a trip to my ignore list.
Ignore all you want. At least when bitfuries went on sale, there were ASIC chips in the hands of DYI testers.
With this, there is nothing. Don't you think they would be all over youtube with their ASIC chip demo, IF they had one.
"Sent to production"
I don't even know what that entails. Sent what to production?Before you send anything to production, don't you have to test the prototype first?
I hope you get your "products".
BTW, I had order #34 with KNC, placed hours after they made their first post here. Sold that thing like a hot potato, few months later.
This smelled like a well orchestrated scam from the beginning and nothing changed since then.
