I think pierrejo is trying to show that KNC has superior hardware. He is right. So what?
No company is going to have 100% of the market, not matter how great their hardware. KNC is selling to people who want to put up pretty big money to have bigger machines. ASICMiner is selling much cheaper machines. There is plenty of room in the market for both. All ASICMiner needs to do is to attain 10% of the total hash, which they should "easily" be accomplished with gen3 hardware, assuming it doesn't fail. (I am sure FC might dispute the word "easily"
). The other goal of ASICMiner is to sell out all the hardware it puts up for sale. So far ASICMiner has succeeded, with the exception of the gen2 setback.
KNC miner is a fine company with their own place in the market, but that in no way diminishes ASICMiners prospects.
