Just remember that secrets work both ways: how would you like it if someone said it was an 'open secret' that you're using asicminer chips? I think you owe the KNC people an apology.
We're developing our own ASICs. We're transparent from the get go.
Unlike KNC:
- We don't publish "Q1/Q2" shipping dates.
- We don't mine and compete with our customers.
- KNC knows they won't be able to ship on Q2. This is why they came up with 'Plan B'
- Guess when they'll finally offer the hosting alternative. Probably the last day of Q2From here:

The first customers (batch 1) are expected to be hashing in our data center in early June and the last customer will hash in our data center around the
last week of June. All the customers will be able to hash in that data center for as long as we are late in shipping your Neptune product,
this service will be provided on a best effort basis...
KNC can provide the entire hash-rate to their customers right now. They've chosen not to do so and directly compete with their customers.
This kind of business practice we're committed to root out. We have long catch up to do, but we are determined to turn the below into
useless pile of junks (i.e. obsolete and below electrically break-even) by delivering on-time much more power efficient hardware.
I am sure your company has not been around as long as KNC so you never know, you might also go the route that KNC went, You'll be surprised what effect money could have on human beings, in 6 months or a year your Company Owner might say f___k the customers, let's use customer's money and build a mining center, no guarantees or how can we know that you don't have a sister company that gets the hardware first?
I wish your pricing was better, the mining business changes very rapidly, you need to provide pricing so that we could get our ROI in several months, no in a year.
