Hey KNC/Bitcoinorama, thanks for making us beg for an update.
Good to see pretty much no answers in your post obama.
Regarding data centre:
The fact is each board has an individual owner and that owner has to be able to configure certain aspects of each board, choice of pool etc. You are therefore not given a proportional 'virtual' share of what's hosted, but actual physical and configurable boards located in your own physical space in the hosting center; i.e. your own board(s), and thus these need to be individually assigned, and that is considerably more laborious than originally expected.
4 boards, 1 controller board and connect one ethernet cable. To use your favourite word - BOOM! Now how is that
"more laborious than originally expected". So, a total no-answer on DC delays.
How about some answers to these questions:
1. How come the sub-standard cgminer from KNC?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg3294238#msg3294238 This post suggests the KNC version is not doing a proper work restart. Any reason KNC are spending 9 days releasing firmware updates that doesn't even fix these issues? I'm fairly sure the guys who wrote cgminer could sort this quick fast. Anyway, I expect no-answer on this one.
2. How come boards are bbq'ing?
I know you wrote a post a few days ago trying to blame people for unplugging cables while the miner was still powered up, but that was scapegoating. There is plenty speculation on the hardware issues causing, but a total no-answer on this from you/KNC. Anyway, I expect no-answer on this one too.
