i wouldn't equate the two:
This single program is going to blow everyone away.
Just to put things in perspective Cointerra has also offered a "MPP" of sorts.
On-Time Delivery Commitment – If CoinTerra fails to deliver chips or rigs within 30 days of its promised December delivery window, the company will credit your account 20% of the hash power of your order;
seems to me the Dec 31 full refund policy would negate this element.
Price Protection – For any undelivered orders, if the company changes the price of TerraMiner systems or GoldStrike1 ASICs before delivery, CoinTerra will re-price all orders and offer either a cash refund or a larger and more valuable hash power credit;
HF has also offered a repricing if they lower their prices for this batch 1.
Customer Exchange – If a customer has a confirmed order and their circumstances change to prevent them from completing the sale, CoinTerra will help them find another party amongst their existing customers to take their place in the product queue. While CoinTerra cannot guarantee there is a buyer for an order or a place in the queue, the company will do its best in good faith to help
this is a more touchy, feely type of offer with no guarantees. i would think HF would do the same thing altho they haven't stated it.
I would say this is comparable to HashFasts.
Sadly they only accept BTC and Wire Transfers too.
Disclaimer: I have no orders with either HashFast or Cointerra (Unless you count IceDrill shares as HashFast orders)
i really think that ppl haven't stopped and thought about just how generous an offer the MPP truly is. just look closely at the example on their website:
"Example 2 – You buy a Baby Jet for 50 BTC, and we ship it on October 25th. January 23, 2014 comes and goes, and it turns out that at the Baby Jet’s nominal hashrate, it would only have generated 25 BTC during that 90 day period. Calculated out, it would have taken an additional 400 Ghash/s of capacity shipped with your Baby Jet on October 25, 2013 to generate 50 BTC, so we will give you 800 Ghash/s in additional capacity. In this example, HashFast will give you two additional Golden Nonce ASICs, each with 400 nominal GHash/s."assuming that the network HR doesn't go so ballistic making the 400% maximum MPP guarantee ineffective, we know the following: not only are they going to make you break even AFTER 90 DAYS of having received your unit, but they are willing to give you an extra 400 GH/s in this example to thrust you clearly into profitability.
that's extraordinary. AND they are going in the right direction development-wise to allow them to do this. smaller dies, not bigger. in other words, more dies per wafer than their competitors making it possible and cost effective for them to offer this.
