Can you name another ASIC mining manufacturer that has done better?

Define 'better'.

There are 2, 3, other companies shipping equipment right now, with no intention to stop shipping.

KNC's demonstrated above-average (BFL) customer service, and better than most for keeping timetables. They've failed to keep their NPS.

i guess one is the black arrow place doing what is it called prospero-x or some such..they have up until around 3 days ago (trying to remember) said
they would ship in FEB now they say MAY of course it was BTC only I think

oops

just search black arrow in the www.bitcointalk.org search bar above

and of course everyone on hashfast has gone completely off the rails

the cointerra folks are also p/o'd at 1.65TH or so and 28mm minner that they have is not 2TH if the 1.65-1.72TH or some such is accurate from my memory..we are talking
3 Jupiters (Oct) at 555gh using the same elec power more or less ..they say 2100 watts so that /3 means 700 watts

anyway it is pretty ugly...cointerra seems the only one attempting to compensate...as far as i can tell BFL/hashfast and so far anyway blackarrow do not seem to be or want to compensate....at least not yet

man makes me appreciate KNC more

on a side note on KNC forums a guy got a 'used' jupiter i think it was with a burned chip I think on the controller board and was intially told by someone at KNC that they had to contact the original owner to RMA.....one of the KNC staff got on and said that is incorrect...the warrenty FOLLLOWS the equipment and contact him...again the guy was posting to find someone to fix it...no way can i see BFL doing that

here is the link and reply from kurt at knc

better then my trying to remember above

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/off-topic/miners-cafe/28957-beaglebone-and-controller-board-needed

anyway nice to know the warrenty follows teh unit

KNC again comes thru!

I agree with the above however timeline for Neptunes would be nice.

tell me about it me and my 2 brothers have 2 on order 1 batch one and 1 batch 2 both very very early in the queue

anyway hope like heck they are at least 4TH

brothers being noobs want to mine with the shiny toy...actually probably would be better imho to just buy btc...but with btc rise we should do ok ROI wise in USD at worst...but kinda a long way around in the woods to arrive at same place is likely

anyway me as a noob when I ordered from KNC in july 1st I looked at just getting BTC at 100 usd I think it was?...so that means I could have gotten me 71.138...I think if I paid what I did to knc for the oct Jupiter...>>>probably streaching this beyond the elec cost will get 50btc out ot my oct 555gh Jupiter...but what the heck anything that gets them on the BTC train....and imho btc has to go up or no one will buy any commercial btc miners for say 20k in fall if they only do like 0.10btc per day imho ...a very bad case difficulty rise etc ...talking generation next after Neptune...so.anyway you place your bets... under the circumstances and info you have ..all you can do.
