Did I miss something? I didn't expect the price to rise these days to be honest.
No you did not, people are just randomly clicking buttons like they always do

I actually though the price will go down even more as KNC is shipping massive amounts of miners right now
Oh I thought it was because there is supposed to be a new product released today, wasn't there? too lazy to search the thread but wasn't there a timeline given with Oct 7 being the day of a product update from friedcat?
Then you have the whole matter of 500 TH of blades coming on this month and it's not too surprising that the price went up at least a little bit.
