Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com

Thanks for this. Free 0.0086 BTC obtained

Not even enough for a game of satoshidice, now that is a big F you from KnC....... how dare they give away dust.....

I think it's a great marketing idea and a $25,000 investment to get more users involved in BTC.
All good.

I was speaking in jest and trying to mimic the moans and groans that have filled this thread this year.......

lol..sorry (I just never know on this thread)

At the same time though, i only found out about the app by reading this thread a few weeks back, so joined the mailing list as a beta tester.
I got a newsletter update today about the official appstore release. I have not read anything about this app else where and i highly doubt it has been advertised to a market who do not already own bitcoin.

I think they are relying on it becoming a bit "viral"

It is quite interesting considering that you usually have to pay $5 for an app that they are effectively paying people $5 to use the app.

It's clever marketing (and in reality, the cost to KNC is neglible).
I like it.
