It is really easy for anyone to prove that the DETERMINING FACTOR into their purchase was the KNC statement posted on frontpage on their website that the orders will be delivered until Oct 15th. If KNC knew they would be late, that would mean they intentionally used false information in order to increase sells, which could probably incur really high fines or other penalties, going to criminal charges against company execs and their business licence being revoked. If they can prove they were really expecting to complete deliveries by Oct 15th and did all due diligence to accomplish that, they'd still have to compensate customers and/or fully refund their orders.
KNC is in no position to play fool now and they better choose their words VERY carefully when communicating next time with their customers.
Good point I agree on.
I'm unhappy about the communication towards us as well as about the statement 'business contract'.
End of July I thought the first time about they will be late for this and that indication.
In addition I was expecting more power consumption and less than 500 GH/s.
So I'm quite happy, things turn out way better than expected (being pessimistic leads to more pleasant surprises than other way round).
I hope you get my real intention behind those KnC defending phrases, as I was on the blaming side all the time before.
And since everyone uses to bash KnC now (for good reasons), I'm switching over from 'contra KnC' to 'pro KnC' as this aspect is missing in here somehow now.
