Don't buy anything ever again, don't buy a car, your clothes, or your cell phone because those too cost a lot less than you think to manufacture yet people are making a killing on selling them to you!
Gosh really, before you start bitching at KNC for making a living at selling their mining gear you should really take a good look around you at the things you buy.
Try reading my post first, I'm talking about
faulty goods.
Now that we are beginning to see the actual cost of a board - about $200, maybe even less - there is no reason why knc couldn't have replaced EVERY die0 board straight away.
We paid $7k+ for an October Jupiter, so it would NOT have destroyed their bottom line to send out one or two or three or four replacement boards to everyone for their faulty die0 boards.
At the very worst, it would have cost them $800 out of the very handsome $7000 we paid to entirely fix the shitty equipment they shipped, which would not have done them any real financial damage. It would be the price they pay for skipping burn-in and shipping poor quality, untested products sold at a premium price.
If I bought a cell phone that did not work, I would get a replacement sent out for free by express courier, because some companies are not miserly scumbags fucks who think they can ship faulty goods and have no responsibility.
I think if you don't have any equipment ordered from them right now that you need to say out this thread for good!
Make me?

I'm down about 50BTC on my purchase from KNC, because they shipped me a piece of faulty garbage late.
If they are not going to refund that to make it right - which I know they aren't - I'm going to get 50BTC worth of entertainment reminding everyone what a cowardly, pathetic, unscrupulous, customer hating, vile, lying, fraudulent, 100% deadline missing, backstabbing, unethical bunch of faulty hardware shipping crooks KNC are.Enjoy.
