I inspected the pattern by eyesight and concluded that never again the coinbase of a block from the Satoshi pattern was spent.
Will you post a list of those blocks? |

I read the scalability article in the wiki and i understand that most clients will be SPV in the future.
but none of that answers my original question of how new full nodes will be bootstrapped in the future.
Full nodes will download all the blocks from the genesis block to the current block. |

All besides the point, point being why would anyone use SHA-512 then if SHA-256 is impossible to break in this time and space?
There are algorithms "stronger" than sha-256, not because sha-256 is brute-forceable, but because there is may be an undiscovered weakness. |

There was no breach of contract; HashFast either delivered the goods or issued (5% more than) full refunds to all Batch 1 customers.
Here's the contract. The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid.
Who was refunded 105% BTC? No one? That's the breach. |

Listen carefully because repeating this is tiresome:
A statement based on and made during a long period of BTC/USD stability cannnot reasonably expected to be maintained given a huge, unexpected spike in the exchange rate.
Yes, complying with the terms of a sale are tiresome. It's so much easier to breach the contract and keep the money and not deliver the goods. It's so much more profitable too! |

"Full BTC refunds" means a full refund of the price (which is always denominated in USD) via the exchange medium of BTC.
Nope. Read carefully. The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid.

Yes, i hope you are right and as HF stated explicit BTC-refunds i think you got a chance there.
I see a gap in lawmaking more as a general problem when it comes to mining and late deliveries, cause in a traditional customer protection way of thinking there is nothing wrong with not delivering and offering a refund after 6 months. And this fits perfectly to maybe a purchase of a BMW or whatever but it doesnt fit the purchase of a Bitcoin-miner. And thats where i see a gap in lawmaking.
Deals denominated in something other than fiat currency are not new. I think the law is just fine. For example, a judge ordered CoinLab to deliver bitcoins to Bitvestment, and not some USD-equivilent. http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2013/11/07/judge-orders-coinlab-to-pay-up-in-bitcoin/ |

"Buyer's remorse" is not a new term in the dictionary; in fact it's very old, well known, and has everything to do with this case (wherein reasonable understanding of context is studiously ignored because it precludes grants of outlandish windfalls).
I know you want that to be true because HashFast screwed up so badly, but it's not true. HashFast promised full BTC refunds for any reason if they were late. They were late, therefore they must offer full BTC refunds. Look up classic "if...then..." logic to understand fully what's going on. |

any details how i can exactly do these???
Underclock to 160GH/s, and pull ~200W each.
160 GH/s should draw 320 watts. The file to edit is "/etc/config/asic-freq". ssh to the unit and edit that file. You can search the forum for more details. |
|
|
|
How long does it take to ship one of these to the USA? 180GH/s for ~0.99BTC seems pretty good if they are ready to ship right now.
They usually ship within 2 days after you order, then another 2-3 days to arrive at your location. |

Has anyone tried just reducing the clock speed and measuring watts used at the wall?
Since overclocking increases power consumption, it stands to reason that underclocking would reduce power consumption, wouldn't it?
Yes. Over/underclocking gives a roughly linear result. If 180 GH/s draws 360 watts, then overclocking to 200 GH/s draws 400 watts, and underclocking to 150 GH/s draws 300 watts. These are just estimates, because things like PSU efficiency changes depending on power draw, and other little details. |

That's interesting, I have to do some more testing then for sure, to see if something else is wrong. I have some various PSUs, including a few CX750 but have not dared to try 2 x Ant's on those. Are you using US source voltage or EU? Although I guess that really shouldn't matter...
Sorta depends on if you want to overclock them. A good 750 PSU should be able to drive 2 Ants at stock clocks (roughly 650 watts output). |

You voluntarily chose to spend your 98 BTC and now regret it because of post-purchase appreciation.
That's a textbook case of buyer's remorse. I know how it feels bro. It feels bad, but the correct course of action is to get over it and learn a lesson, not throw a raging fit in public.
Ah, you found a new term in the dictionary, "buyer's remorse". Another nice term that has absolutely no bearing on this case. HashFast promised full BTC refunds if they were late. Need me to post proof again? The customer is entitled to a full BTC refund, for any reason, because HashFast failed to deliver on time. |
|
|

The legally binding language is in the ToS, not a statement made prior to the sudden and rapid appreciation of BTC from $100 to $600, during a long period of BTC/USD stability.
So what you're saying is, HashFast representatives lie when necessary to protect the company. Gotcha. |

cedivad is offline so the thread is now unlocked.
The reason for introducing the legal concept of a 'windfall' is so observers will not be mislead by those falsely claiming HashFast hasn't provided full refunds for the small number of Batch 1 customers who requested them.
Doesn't matter if you call it a "windfall" or not, BTC refunds for BTC purchases were the original agreement by HashFast: Received: by 10.194.138.199 with SMTP id qs7csp90853wjb; Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:38:36 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: by 10.236.45.102 with SMTP id o66mr196684yhb.13.1376696316262; Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:38:36 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: < bitpaysupport@hashfast.com> Hi Jim, Thank you so much for your patience while I got the answer for you, I greatly appreciate it. The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid. I hope that helps and hope you have a good weekend! Thanks, Cara |

Final thing. For status updates it wouldn't hurt to post a blog entry on your site when orders are shipping out. THIS WEEK ORDERS <ORDERNUMBER> to <ORDERNUMBER> is shipping!! And you know...actually ship. You did this with the blog for the chips that were shipping out. Why not for the consumer hardware? This is not a hard thing since you know what is shipping.
I'll do that for them since they're busy "building miners". Feb 24,25, 26 - nothing shipped
Feb 26,27, 28 - nothing shipped
March 3, 4, 5 - nothing shipped
March 5, 6, 7 - nothing shipped
March 10, 11, 12 - nothing shipped
March 12, 13, 14 - nothing shipped
Next promised shipping dates "March 17, 18, 19". Guess what it'll be. |

HashFast already offered and paid out 105% refunds.
105% of BTC97.95849881 is BTC102.856423751. When is HashFash sending gmaxwell BTC102.856423751 refund? |

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave. You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations. That's nice, but the principles are the same. Your coins were changed to fiat in order to build your machine, which was priced in USD. If Bitcoin went to $1.00 you would demand USD and scoff at BTC parity. If Bitcoin went to $1,000,000 it would be even more obvious you expect a pony named windfall to soothe your buyer's remorse.
Please explain HashFast's promise here: Received: by 10.194.138.199 with SMTP id qs7csp90853wjb; Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:38:36 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: by 10.236.45.102 with SMTP id o66mr196684yhb.13.1376696316262; Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:38:36 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: < bitpaysupport@hashfast.com> Hi Jim, Thank you so much for your patience while I got the answer for you, I greatly appreciate it.

Good point, and we can go even beyond that, considering that according to theoretical physics, bit of information can be stored and produced at the plank lenght!, and this according to many theories such String, or Quantum Gravity......
Seriously? Next you're going to posit that Satoshi used a private key based on the serial number of a $1 in his pocket. Hey, it's possible! Quick, everyone, check your $1 bills! You might have the key to Satoshis Stash! |

I don't see why people are complaining about the price. Seems right in line to me. Maybe a pinch cheaper, like 5.9 btc, but it's perfectly reasonable. You get everything, plug and play, at 1Th/s. Ease of use is worth a little more in my opinion. Only draw back ... They aren't shipping tomorrow. They are shipping in a week or two.
No! Don't say "in two weeks". You'll jinx them! |
