I am not saying KnC doesn't deserve a lions share for the work they have done. But a little respect for customer ROI would be fucking nice for once.
Even if KnC voluntarily sacrificed its own revenue and profits for its old customers by halting or limiting production, it would hardly matter because Hashfast, Avalon, Bitfury, BFL, cointerra etc couldnt care less about old KnC customers' ROI. Its a race between vendors, and you are getting squeezed.
None of those other suppliers made a point of network protection to protect their customers as much as they could ..then set up in China to ramp up sales contrary to what they just said in their sales blurb. Personally I expected the others at some point in the game, but late enough to give us a month or so of decent mining...but KnC can deliver today in vast quantity over there (in theory anyway) ..they have a working rig right now ready to go and we haven't a scooby doo if and when they start hashing over there, or the numbers so we?
I'd expect China to be more efficient, it's the workshop of the world for a reason. By the time we get all oct 15th orders they could easily have double that hashing and murdering our returns.
China wasn't mentioned until long after most orders were made. I would have thought twice if I'd known then what I know now. We're fucking bug testers for that huge market at best. I didn't see that coming, they were saying "plug and play" not plug in, close your eyes and cross your fingers ffs. Some very clued up people here can't get the fuckers to run properly..that's a mile away from plug and play to me. Even KnC themselves don't seem to be able to get the hosted rigs hashing as advertised :/
