What I don't like is being so entirely staunch in one idea that any other ideas become impossible to consider
Last year I said we knc customers should be treated like shareholders in their company, as we had given knc the money to exist.
And that if your shareholders asked you for an update, you wouldn't ignore that request. During September and October, knc ignored us completely - for weeks on end.
I thought their attitude to customers was woeful, especially us October batch people who paid a massive premium for their products - who took a chance on a company who begged us to take a chance on them and promised to "never forget the help you have given us" etc.
That "never forget the help" attitude all changed when they shipped.
Their whole attitude became contempful and greedy. They seemed to hate their customers. They were shipping fault goods and making customers keep them as long as they were achieving 400GH (what was originally promised), while pretending they were over-delivering. Late and faulty and exactly what you paid for is not over-delivering. They did the absolute bare minimum to meet their obligations to customers and made it impossible to do anything about faulty goods without losing even more earnings.
I was on everyone's ignore list for saying knc were greedy and contemptful to customers in October/November. I suggested it was a bad idea to buy into Neptune (or knobtune, as some of you may remember my "pet" name for it), as it was plain knc felt no obligations to anyone but their own bank account now. Lot's of bells started ringing when they were suggesting they were making massive progress, like a 20nm project was something they could do without too much hassle, while the rest of the world was still trying to get to grips with it.
I maintained my stance about them, when pretty much everyone was again me and telling me to get lost and hurling abuse at me.
After all that, you think I should give knc the benefit of the doubt? Forget it. I could see they were greedy assholes and it's being proven again and again over the last few weeks.
If knc disagree with anything I say on here, I'm more than happy for their company representative to come on here and respectfully clarify what's going on.
In fact, I asked their Director of Communcations at least 3 or 4 times the day the "Plan B" newsletter was released to face us and answer everybodies questions. He refused. The only post he made was in the maxcoin thread. He logged in for another three days, then his account went dormant (as I said it would).
So once again, this is complete comtempt from knc and their representatives. How disrespectful to completely ignore your customers after that kind of bombshell?? Maybe he'll come back after a week, when he's had a chance to think up some excuses or lies. Maybe not.
Knc know they f#@ked everyone over and now are just looking for an entirely new customer base of cloud hashing customers (and noobs to pay for "neptune" - the name of their 6 month 3TH cloud hashing contract). They think their neptune customers are fucking idiots who can't see how they are being f#@ked over. And they offer pathetic little bs titbits for people to read into, like today's "we are getting closer to the launch date of Neptune", which says nothing but promises lot's if you read into it. And all the gamblers will be thinking "I know better than anyone else - I'll go for it" and will hand over their cash.
Naw, I'm not giving that bullshit the benefit of the doubt.
If I'm wrong and they don't mine a single bitcoin out of the datacentre until April and they deliver knobtune in April, I'll apologise to whomever I've offended.
But as far as I'm concerned - and I'm pretty much unwavering on this, having got faulty goods from them and contemptful service - knc are a bunch of greedy assholes, with total contempt for customers, who see customers as idiots and only tolerate them to take cash out of their stupid hands.
I'll stick to that opinion and I'll debate anyone telling me how great knc are. And I'll ignore people like you, for starting pretty much all your posts with a slight or insult directed at me. You expect to throw bs at me and then expect me to engage you on a respectful level? Please.
