I've really tried to hold onto the belief than KNC is 100% legit but I'm really starting to doubt that now. I seems very likely that the "Q1" part of the ship date advertised in the Neptune batch #1 pre-order was never a possibility and was intentionally misleading (worked on me). I have no idea why the "we're probably going to sell Jupiters from stock soon, hold onto some BTC" turned into "nevermind we're keeping them for ourselves" but greed is really the best guess.

Considering how greedy knc are, you'd expect them to sell another batch or three of Jupiters. I guess they are stuck in the position between wanting to be greedy and cash in on functioning jupiter design. Or getting greedy for $13k orders for something they can sit on the money for another 7 months.
