Just as a reminder to anyone who has tried to cancel their order, just because KnC are scrabbling around trying to release firmware updates and paint a picture of success on their news releases, it doesn't change the fact that they have previously admitted this device is limited to where it can function (cannot actually be used for all scrypt applications), which runs contrary to the sales description so once you have notified them that you are cancelling on the basis that they have not met their performance obligations, there is no more wiggle-room for them to keep stringing you along on the basis that they'll eventually fix these performance problems.

They missed the boat, the units weren't as specified. Dangling a 'soon' scrypt-n carrot in front of people's noses now smacks of desperation.

If they had any sense they'd accept a slight-smaller profit and mine in their arctic data centre with these units and do the decent thing of refunding people who have instructed them to cancel the order.

I agree complete. KNC are shipping a product which does not meet advertized specs. With Vertcoin moving to Lyra-2, the scrypt-n carrot won't be worth much by the time it gets here, even if it is included in 1.06.

The scrypt-n announcement always smacked of desperation to me too, as are all the bullshit 'As we are KNC we reserve the right to over deliver' swagger and bravado. They've fallen from grace. Like the Titan when it tries to mine VIA, I doubt if they will be able to get up off the floor without a hard reset.

Personally I am surprised there isn't more anger about batch 2 pricing and delivery (400+MH/s for $3000 less than batch 1, 1 month after batch 1 finishes shipping). Batch 1 customers will never recover the $3000 difference in the month between batch 1 and batch 2. Its a kick in the teeth to batch 1 customers.

KNC have lost their decency and dignity.
