I can't believe what i'm reading.

Yes, it is unbelievable that HashFast beat Cointerra to demonstrating a 2TH/s miner, especially since Cointerra advertised "500GH/s" chips and was supposedly the ASIC Dream Team. Even more unvelievable is that HashFast's Sierra EVO only uses 3 chips to get 2TH/s, while Cointerra's uses 4 and only gets ~1.6 (if you're lucky). What a treat to unveil our 2TH/s beast in Austin, right in Cointerra's back yard!  |

Hello Hashfast, You're saying you've won the race to a 4U 2TH box in the lab
What is the relevance of this product offering to the members of the forum? I'm struggling to see it.
Hi gmaxwell, The relevance of HashFast's EVO product is obvious; it's the highest performance Custom Hardware ever demonstrated. This is not true. I have CT that are hashing faster than that right now. You need to stay up to date on what is available in the market right now. I am willing to sell you one if you wish to see. I do try and stay up to date on what is available and would appreciate anything new you can bring to the discussion. However, Bitcoin is about proof, not trust. So please back up your assertion with citations, video, screenshots, etc. As of right now, all the Cointerra has done is make 1.3TH/s boxes into 1.6TH/s boxes with new firmware, so we hear stories like I just got mine today. It was getting only 1.3th, some of the temps were high 80c. I set it up outside to see if it would help. Now it's getting 1.6TH. Also, HashFast's 2TH/s Sierra EVO is not "in the lab" as gmaxwell incorrectly presumes. HashFast's 2TH/s Sierra EVO is hashing live from the Austin BTC conference in Texas:   https://twitter.com/HashFasthttp://hashfast.com/worlds-first-2ths-miner/March 6th, 2014 HashFast has debuted the world’s first working 2 TH/s Bitcoin miner, at the Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin, Texas. The unit in Austin has been averaging more than 2.1TH/s live at the show. What makes that all the more amazing is that it cruises at this speed on just three chips – not four or more as in competitors’ designs. Live feed is at http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/156inKCVf2oEJgTsgQbHpdEGoLpzAupWdn, but don’t blink, the show will soon be over and the machine packed up for home. |

That is strange. After HF deleted my post, it reappeared three times. Must be a bug in the software.
"Making the same point over and over again is spam. " -gmaxwellEDIT: changed paraphrase to exact quote from gmaxwell's Rules for this Subforum An honest fact, presented over and over, and never rebutted with facts (but instead deleted) gives a lot of credence to the original post. Making the same point over and over again is spam.
If you are unhappy about these conditions I invite you to not post in custom hardware. If you are unable to control your behavior your ability to post in custom hardware will be removed in one way or another.

Hello Hashfast, You're saying you've won the race to a 4U 2TH box in the lab, but why should I care about that when you've taken 97.95849881 and failed to live up to your contract to deliver goods by your self-specified deadline or return the funds. Everyone here can verify for themselves that you have not refunded me: https://blockchain.info/address/1MWwwz9gpViE3u7o6Sx6huYNBrHyze8QrAWhy should anyone purchase more hardware on the basis of your lab-boasting when you haven't made good on your prior commitments? What reason do people have to believe that you'll actually deliver these 2TH 4U devices when you have simply walked off with people's funds in the past? What is the relevance of this product offering to the members of the forum? I'm struggling to see it. Hi gmaxwell, The relevance of HashFast's EVO product is obvious; it's the highest performance Custom Hardware ever demonstrated. We sent you a refund check; it was returned. Maybe you need to visit your Mailbox, Etc more often? Please let me know if you want another refund check and note that per US law, mail order refunds must be in US dollars. According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Note) Federal Reserve Notes are legal tender, with the words "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" printed on each note. ^^That means if you refuse to accept payment in dollars, your claim is invalidated and the debt extinguished.^^ I'll send you some BTC out of my own wallet if you start doing your Moderator job and banning trolls who won't stop harassing a self-moderated thread, as was done for ActiveMining, BFL, and others. |

Yesterday I set up a HashFast Sierra built with three of our Rev2 boards. These are *not* the EVO (~750GH/s) boards but the machine is still getting around 1.5TH/s!!! You can see it mining live on Eligius by going here http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1JyeG1Cdd2xtu22qV7XPGjR22JPkJmVvyAand clicking the 'toggle worker details' button. It's the one called "Rev2Sierra" of course. It's using about 1850 Watts and is plugged into a standard outlet, along with a small PC controller. |

So True now it should be consider golds fool chip. FYI this Thread should not be called 800 gh/s but the real Hashrate 735 , lets stop with False Advertisements
Did you read the OP? It has pictures of both Eligius and cgminer reporting 750GH/s. Yes, that's 750GH/s from ONE CHIP!!! |

Good new everyone!
HashFast won the race to be the first ASIC company to get 2TH out of a single 4U box! And we only needed three chips to do it.
See it in action at http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/156inKCVf2oEJgTsgQbHpdEGoLpzAupWdnAnother company promised "500GH/s" chips and "2TH/s" machines, but they were delivered 2 months late and 20% (400GH) under spec. Of course it would be inaccurate and churlish to call them a scam for simply being late, but delivering under spec another matter. PS Reposting moderated posts is frowned on by the Mods; gmaxwell explicitly said: In all cases, do no harass or stalk people.
If you are in doubt about a behavior it is probably harassment. Don't do it. If you feel you need to investigate a party that has scammed you, take it to the scam accusation sub-forum. Be the better man: Just because someone is a jerk that doesn't justify you becoming one.
Feel free to provide criticism but don't belabor it. Making the same point over and over again is spam.
If you are unhappy about these conditions I invite you to not post in custom hardware. If you are unable to control your behavior your ability to post in custom hardware will be removed in one way or another.

HF chips are actually four dies. I don't know about CoinTerra but the comparison is unfair and irrelevant given the context.
HashFast's chip consists of multiple dies on a singe substrate and performs at 750GH/s. Cointerra's chip consists of multiple dies on a singe substrate and perform at much less than 750GH/s. KnC's chip consists of multiple dies on a singe substrate and performs at much, much less than 750GH/s. The comparison of hardware is trivial, however the contrast in performance is striking!  I'll just leave this here: https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-78  No idea of the speed, but i have a feeling that it will crush your chip HashFast. What will you say then? Congratulations to KnC for their successful tape-out! Let's not compare a non-existent 20nm chip to HashFast's current 28nm chip, which is by far the fastest Bitcoin mining ASIC ever created. |

Good explanation. Now, how about explaining the bad feedback? The bad feedback is from people who are upset that I am enforcing gmaxwell's Rules of Conduct for this subforum and keeping this thread on-topic. They want to break the rules by posting repetitive scam accusations and off-topic personal attacks, but letting this thread turn into another unmoderated troll-fest like the first one is not in the interests of HashFast's customers. They want to discuss Custom Hardware, not listen the same old stories from the 400GH/s thread retold ad nauseam. Using negative feedback to express dissatisfaction with a self-moderated thread is silly. If you don't like self-moderated threads, simply don't read or post in them. |

A point of order: Conduct in this subforum
Yeah, you should teach us how we should conduct, you dirty little scammer. Some people have no shame. gmaxwell wrote the rules of conduct for this subforum. I merely enforce them.  |
|
|

Now let's go back on topic and discuss how awesome it is for HashFast to get 750GH/s from a single ASIC. And this, btw, is technically false. It's 4 ICs. Soldered in a single board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-chip_moduleA multi-chip module (MCM) is a specialized electronic package where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies or other discrete components are packaged onto a unifying substrate, facilitating their use as a single component (as though a larger IC).
The MCM itself will often be referred to as a "chip" in designs, thus illustrating its integrated nature. KnC, Cointerra, and HashFast all use multiple dies on a single substrate. They are technically correct when referring to their respective MCMs as "chips." Thanks for steering the conversation back to Custom Hardware; Scam Accusations are explicitly Off-Topic according to gmaxwell's Rules of Conduct for the subforum.  |

An RPi image that both auto updates itself and the firmware is planned, but not yet ready. But people have waited long enough for this firmware update.
Again the image linked to in the forum post is *only* an updater; there is no MinePeon or web interface supported. Do NOT overwrite your HashFast / minepeon SD card; (unless you back it up first!).
so are you saying use another SD card to update the firmware, and when the update is complete, take that sd card back out and put the original sd card back into the RPI? what about the latest minepeon or cgminer? Yes you've got it, that's exactly right. The original sd card is self-updating for both minepeon and cgminer. |

Apparently Gmaxwell is a bitcoin core programmer?
Hmm, now he can officially say that HashFast has screwed the heart and soul of Bitcoin. (as one of their customers!)
HashFast sent gmaxwell a refund check in early January; it was returned. gmaxwell, if you want another refund check, please let me know. |

Like everyone else on this form Hashfast, you are scammers until you ship what you owe. Your treatment of gmaxwell and the other preorders has been atrocious. No one believes your "world record" since you lost all credibility by screwing over some of the most prominent people around. Its time you either pay your debts or get gox'd and hopefully disappear.
You are free to believe or disbelieve what you like, but a mere opinion has no bearing on the fact that HashFast's new EVO board is actually performing at 750GH/s, which is a world record and 50% faster than Cointerra's "500GH/s" (but actually 400GH/s) chip. HashFast sent gmaxwell a refund check in early January; it was returned. gmaxwell, if you want another refund check, please let me know. |

Now let's go back on topic and discuss how awesome it is for HashFast to get 750GH/s from a single ASIC.
That would be awesome, if it were true. Do you have verifiable proof? Yes, it's both true and awesome! Proof is at the top of the thread, in the form of cgminer/eligius screenshots and a video of the live output. We're setting up webcams so everyone can enjoy live streams of a 2TH Sierra EVO, the World's Fastest Bitcoin Miner. |

So we should just move this to scam accusations? You know, since it basically is.
I think this guy has something here.. this whole thread should be moved to the scam topic.. then everyone will be on topic!! Posts by an equipment manufacturer or their staff in a thread about that manufacturer are automatically on-topic regardless of their content. Since the Moderators no longer enforce their own rule that they be kept separate, I propose we merge Scam Accusations into Custom Hardware. /just kidding Now let's go back on topic and discuss how awesome it is for HashFast to get 750GH/s from a single ASIC. |
