Great news, 20nm!
Bad news 'Orders opening soon'!
Bitcoinorama, in hope I get not ignored I'd like to ask the following:
1) Why is the pre-order game continuing ?
Didn't they collect enough money to fund the next gen ?!
Apparently not. To be blunt, and not sugar coat, the funding for 20nm is considerably greater than 28nm. If you are confident of your ability to deliver and the possibility exists to raise it, why wouldn't you? Would you rather they pay for it themselves and keep the tech for themselves? Mining for themselves? They want to be fair, but the are running a business, and the game is one of survival.
2) Do you have to pay the full price when opening the order books or is it like pay 10-20% up front and then the rest when it's close to shipping...?
Almost assuredly full price. No one is going to deal with chasing payments, especially after so many tried to game the VAT situation, by abstaining from payment and then complaining that they are at the back of the queue. Order queue is based in payment date.
3) How much will they approximately cost ? Would be very nice to get a clue before you actually have to pay..
Price will be released tomorrow, NRE is higher, consequently to remain competitive hashrate will have to be greater as well.
4) ANY advantage for the early investors who took a high risk and making KnCMiner's success possible in first place ?
This has been discussed and past customers will be given first refusal.
5) Will there be another batch of upgrade boards for October gen ?
Again this has been discussed, I won't make promises, depends on similar criteria to before.
Thank you very much in advance for your answers!
No worries bro, and I'm aware you have sent me a series of Q's in PMs, you are not the only one I will try to answer them shortly...
Just two questions.
What kind of first refusal will we (day 1 and 2 customers, who payed in the 7 days windows) have?
