I'll take 2.  PM me with details.   Beautiful. 

Apple Care:  You are correct that I am completely discounting the Apple Care but am fairly valuing the laptop.    I have been an apple owner for 4 laptops over the years so I can say I have decent experience with their hardware.  The reason I don't value the Apple Care is two-fold.  1)  Apple consistently builds quality hardware and if you treat it right, you will not have issues.  I have two other older laptops (bought new from Apple) that still work fine, they are just old.  2) In my experience anytime they have a major build quality issue or flaw, they always fix your laptop with or without Apple Care so I know I will be taken care of.  Of all the flaws in Apple, they are great about this point even though they make you seem you need to buy Apple Care or you are up a creek.

I hope this sheds more light on my offer.  It still stands and I do believe it is a fair offer with upside potential when Bitcoin gets its legs again.  Let me know, thanks

Call me is my best advice if you really want to invest $3 million in Bitcoin. 

Meet me at BTC2.45 shipped and lets make it happen.

One of my really good friends stay on top of apple hardware prices and he said with standard ram, no SSD and no retina, $1,000.00 is fair value.  I'll go BTC2.25.

BTC2.20 offer.   PM me if interested.

We also have a Bitcoin ASIC hosting facility in Washington State.  PM if you are interested in hosting. 

Thanks,

Only mine if you have deep pockets and can wait 1-2 years to see real gains.     If that is not you, buy and hold is my opinion if I were evaluating the options.

Well taken points.  I have known about this order since ~Oct 2013 (need to get exact date from old emails).  From what I can tell we are early enough so that it would not be shown that we have gotten preferential treatment and I would add that if you knew what I am having to do, it is quite a bit more work and expense than originally expected.   We have waited months like everyone else, nothing odd their, just frustrating. 

Honestly I was surprised we decided to go this route all together.

I agree, the tone taken from a representative was unprofessional to say the least.   While I read through these posts I swear somehow BFL_Josh was running PR for both companies. 

FYI - I am not a contractor for Hashfast.  Just to be clear.

I am not defending their actions at all.  They were downright poor and I don't do business like that   All I am saying is I mentioned to someone at HF while troubleshooting their hardware, that their customer situation was bad and if that wanted some real advice, call me. 

I don't defend lying or misleading.  What I am saying is real mistakes were made and in the next announcement which should be very soon (hello?) will at least clear the air and a plan (not saying it is the best or makes things 100% round) has been worked out and this is serious.  This is all I am saying, the main reason I even agreed to do this is because I am being affected and I know people like this group would decry it no matter what and I am just saying they told me it is real and the details.

Good and fair questions.   Thank you, I'll explain below so you at least understand my position, why and motivation for even being involved.


Yes, but how does engaging in some sort of nonbinding discussion (all of 2 hours!) with Eddie and him providing "some" units to you to evaluate make any difference to hundreds of customers who should have received petahashes of power many months ago?

The first time my and "Eddie" talked was because my client is a customer of Hashfast and has been waiting since Oct 2013.  Up until that point I only talked to a couple engineers.  We were testing this new board design and through this I voiced many concerns and told them if Eduardo wanted to hear my opinion to call me, he did call.  The first things out my mouth were questions about why the delay and silence which I told him it was unacceptable.  He then told me details on what the issues were and then asked for advice on his plan to try and make the situation right if not at least better than it currently is which has been little.  My thought was if I could advocate communication and telling people why along with a plan to solve it, that would be better for everyone, I hope we can agree that is better than nothing.  Maybe I am wrong here but I wanted to help because I knew the frustration my customer was having and I read all your comments so I know many more did as well.  Please specifically explain.

Also my financial gain in this situation is only being a good vendor to my client.  Every else I am doing because it is the right thing to do, nothing more, nothing less.
 
"Documentation" doesn't cut it.

Of course not, this was just an area I didn't see enough information.   The next major announcement will hopefully be something that will be a positive step.

Really.  What's your economic interest in this?  

Just my client's hardware order since Oct 2013.  That is how I even got in touch with anyone at Hashfast.  Outside of that I may have solicited an email asking about hosting, nothing came of it.

You have "some" boards that likely are more rightly the property of others.

He (my client) has been in line like everyone else.  That characterization of me personally is unfair, I wanted this hardware order shipped back in Oct.

You are apparently set to receive a large number of chips which, I presume, you will use.

This order is a Batch 1 & 2 order just so you know.  

I have an unfilled Batch 2 order and the MPP from Batch 1. You say you are doing good for the community, but how, specifically?  That's not sarcasm, it's a real request for an explanation, with specifics.

The main thing I have asked for that I "know" is helping is two-fold.  1)  Level with the community, admit your mistake and take your lumps  2) Address the compensation issue period.

I hope people can say that is what needs to happen like right now?   I hope that if someone else was in the position as an outsider to try and push this forward, THEY WOULD DO IT.  Well I was in that position and I did, you can flame "me" all you want but I did what I could to help.   Even if people are not satisfied, I hope they think the through counted.  I didn't need to waste my time but I chose too.


Can't this really be interpreted as just another person, like the Garret the Teenager, who Hashfast Eddie, the Adult, makes some pledge to, and who then comes forward to testify on Hashfast's behalf, and in the end it amounts to nothing for Hashfast's customers?

If you are comparing me to them, then you are not paying attention.   People know me, I ain't perfect but I am competent and I don't go around trying to screw people.  If you think it would of been better if I said nothing and did ask for anything, then I think you are in a minority group because others have said "thank you" and "good job".  

In closing, I am going to push for the next statement to be released so people can get more informed on what is next.

There is an announcement that does this.  Coming very soon.  If you can be patient for a short time, everyone will know more.  I didn't know anything 3 weeks ago.  I advocated them getting information to the community.  That is the reason I am involved.   Something has to happen, wouldn't you agree?

Hello Bitcoin,

I want to confirm that in the last few weeks I have been talking extensively with Eduardo (C.E.O. of Hashfast Technologies) to understand and give outside feedback on ideas to address delivery and communication issues.   Outside of almost daily emails, we have had two-hours of in-depth discussions where I could really ask frank questions and get a good feel for what happened, ways to improve and the future.

I can attest that Eduardo is truly concerned with the current situation and really wants to move forward and make good on expectations set forth before.  He has demonstrated his commitment in this first step and assured me going forward things will be different.  I know many will be frustrated and I understand, I did my part as a member in the Bitcoin mining community to help get certainty for everyone.   Before I even started this process, I spent two days reading every comment I could (good & bad) to get a feel for the major issues so please know I care and did not rush into this.  I know I am taking a risk here but I do care about other miners and thought it was the right decision regardless on the reception this announcement gets.

In closing, we have been in constant communication with their engineering department and have independently tested their 3rd generation board design.  For testing we took their reference numbers and other data points and have confirmed their validity under this current design and have reproduced them, along with having some running as we write with no change.   We will be releasing this information soon along with support documentation we developed while going through this process.    We are also working with Hashfast to flesh out a new product design to increase density and performance.



Sincerely,

Dalkore

This is the future but I am not sure if mineral oil will be the mass deployment coolant.  It is still pretty messy to service.   I am working on a project with another coolant that is a little less messy.   Regardless this is cool and green tech.  I love it.

I'll go .44BTC if your buyer falls through.

Price and pictures please.

I second that.   Also I'll go to .425 but no further.  Now that tax season is over I believe we are in an uptrend.  Don't want to over pay.   Its an older model so you should move it.  I have find them local but I would rather support Bitcoin.
