1061  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 06, 2013, 03:24:00 AM
I tried to tell you guys in August when they came out with the 10 day warranty BS!!
I just got out of a Groupbuy that had invested in Hashfast amongst other..

Glad i was able to secure a refund!

August Quote below!



1yr Manufacturer Warranty is Standard across the electronics industry.

To be honest im not suprised...




Its a shame, i was actually rooting for them. At this point its blatantly obvious that hashfast has some issues that reflects the type of perception they have .. 10 days.. Thats laughable! Its almost pathetic.. Its a blatant spit in the face to people ponying up 5k+ to support them.
 

You can do alot better hashfast. 

I think these Asic companys are under the impression they can sustain a cycle of high prices, piss poor support, and products that are outdated when they get into customers hands. Its down right embarrassing, some of these venture's cant even put up a website with a half decent shopping cart. They cant even write a privacy policy or mission statements.. they are using templates and basically are under the impression that their customers are there to be abused.

Its not just one company.. its the whole lot of them! Its almost standard practice to have the website fail during purchase! Were are talking large purchase's and not some $30 trinket off ebay! These Asic company's have their nose so high in the air that they are not even responding to tickets or calls for support. Its not just Avalon who cant put up a simple site to take orders .. its Avalon, xcrowd, hashfast, bfl and between them they have set a standard of ABUSE! 

Look at all the customers who have basically been spit on ... Their requests for refunds fall on deaf ears, missing orders, no confirmation emails..  No reps making announcements. While you the customer do your part and pay dearly in btc and or cash to the tune of thousands sometimes tens of thousands, the companies are basically swimming in your cash and parleying it into multi million dollar ventures that are able to operate without YOU!

Once they have your btc or $, they will just use it for development and mine themselves! They have absolutely zero incentive to support or back their products. They have ZERO incentive to provide an even half way decent support system.

I am not at the least bit surprised at a 10 day warranty. In fact i would have expected it to be 3 days.. with a requirement that you need a notarized letter from hasfast accepting the return with a minimum wait time of 3 months and YOU pay the cost of shipping both ways!

Its really reflective not only on their perception of their position but its also reflective of their company, their standards.. and its a SIGN of whats to come! This wont be the last time an ASIC company spits in our face but until people DEMAND a standard of better behavior its not going to get better!

Maybe when need to have a sub forum of lawyers on site that are pro consumer and ready to take action for some of these group buy and even some of the individuals that paid and are getting the run around!


Imagine the kind of gut wrenching feeling you will have when your piss poor product blows a bunch of capacitors on the 11th day!! 

If its not a piss poor product than the manufacturer will support it with a decent warranty because they have faith in their engineering, materials and build quality!

But thats not the case here. What we have are a group of Asic developers who have standardized making products that have a minimal lifespan and they back it with piss poor websites, piss poor support, piss poor marketing and an overall feeling that after they take your funds you are going to be lucky if you ever see a product let alone find ROI!

While they on the other hand are swimming in profits and have no intention of delivering their promises!

https://hashfast.com/shop/babyjet/

See the bottom on the babyjet web page, the part that labeled shipping!

See how it says "Shipments "anticipated" to begin: October 20-30, in order of purchase"

I anticipate that im going to be a millionaire by 2016 but that doesn't mean its remotely going to happen! Your selling a time sensitive product that looses its purchase value astronomically if its not delivered on time!

We don't want "anticipation" we want a guarantee!!

I dont mean to be over critical of hashfast.. because i was over critical of KNC and i "may" have misspoken but and as it stands im not so sure buying an ASIC from "anyone" is a smart move as KNC hasn't shown a working product either. I had a lot of faith in Avalon and that has all but diminished. I think they let things get out of control and it may just be circumstances out of their control but the trail of blood from their chip sales tell a different story... Cointerra seemed like they were going to finally set the ASIC space straight but they are a rinse and repeat of the business models and practices currently in place! 


Until we have one company that will put us first.. Its "difficult" at best to take them seriously!

Glad to see there is something for the lil guy but at the same time i have a feeling these are NOT going to be competitively priced.

Hope im wrong.

Seems you are correct, I hadnt looked at the pics, i thought it was just a bad cap.


Might as well get the snail mail going asap! Unless they want to send a new board.
1067  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: KNC on fire ! on: October 08, 2013, 01:11:22 AM
Sorry to hear about your issue.

Look at the capacitor and see what the rating on it is and swap it out. You have a soldering gun? Sending it out to knc is going to be weeks worth of down time vs replacing a simple capacitor.

Just look at he microfarad and voltage rating and grab a capacitor at an electronics store or radioshack and call it a day.

Hopefully your handy with a soldering gun.

Well if they were selling engineers then all this hype around "Samsung's" ex cpu guru might be worth a nickel. Since they are selling miners they are gonna have to do a lot better the constantly talking about the "team"!

1078  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Do we want to continue to allow various vendor hate in here? on: September 04, 2013, 10:04:07 PM
Zerlan's rants, demeaning his customers, shows that kind of contempt.
Yifu's statements lately have had the same underpinnings.
Or maybe we just get tired of whiny, entitled little brats screaming and crying for attention. I wonder which is more plausible.

 Yeah, going to have to say that we should allow to continue with various vendor hate around here until the vendors themselves start behaving in such a way that does not produce feelings of hate due to their own conduct.

 Chicken, egg, so on and so forth...

...and here's the same chicken(or egg) acknowledging through his actions that he still needs these forums to maintain his supply of fresh victims customers.

3 @ 7.75

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=284843.0;topicseen

I believe that bitcointalk.org administrators would gain instant respect by simply deleting or blocking that bid.







^^ Indeed! But clearly respect does not power this forum.

At one point there was a thread to raise btc so we could outbid a certain asic vendor and i believe it was posted in custom hardware but it got moved to the woodworks somewhere in the forum where nobody would see it..  (remember the "WARNING ads")

It wasn't theymos who moved it .. it was a mod if my memory serves me correctly but i may be mistaken. I cant believe i forgot the name of the guy who started the thread. He was someone who was ripped off by bitfloor during the first fiasco. ( ill remember eventually, he saved me from the second bitfloor fiasco when he was urging people to jump ship. )


Anyway .. the issue is how do we fund the this forum with regular advertising revenue, ala outbidding the scammers who clearly have used the freedoms in this forum to prey on bitcoin and participants.

Clearly if we were to replace the regular revenue stream im sure theymos wouldn't care if there were 0 ads on this forum as long as he got his.

Blaming theymos for trying to keep the lights on wont get anywhere.  


I think the forums biggest asset is its freedom of speech, we should preserve that and be an example to other community's. The trolling can be curtailed by adding a feature that after certain amount of ignores you get a temp ban from the thread.. Even if its 1 day or 2 days.. Maybe a known troll tag wouldn't hurt either.

Hate is just a feeling like love .. we cant have one without the other so its important to tread carefully.

To be honest i dont mind the contrast.. i love when people get intellectually muted and its always good to "listen" to opposing arguments as long as its constructive..

You know what they say... "If everyone is thinking the same then someone isn't thinking!"    


So moving forward lets find a way to power this forum with respect by eliminating the ability for asic vendors to prey on unsuspecting participant of bitcoin by plastering their ads all over the forums. Also if we could stop Asic vendors from creating multiple threads.

Every asic vendor should have a single thread for questions, comments, concerns & inquiry's. Maybe one other thread for support!

So max two threads for asic vendors!


Usually when vendors hear discontent from customers they try to oblige but here people are angry and throwing tomatoes and instead of catering to the issues the asic vendors just start a new thread! If they are quarantined to a two thread setup, one for general and one for support then they are a bit more obligated to deal with the issues then to let it boil and turn to hate!

Because once the hate machine start churning in a thread its likely to result in loss of customers.

Hate is not a feeling that develops in a short time. Its not a dislike, or a preference or even an opinion. Its a force consumed by rage and in most cases the person feeling hateful has no other recourse.


If someone raped your sister... there is no there recourse .. you go straight to rage then to hate .. in most cases you do not collect 200, you go directly to hate!

If someone breaks in your home, puts a gun to the forehead of one of your loved ones.. there is no other road to take, ( Rage --->>> Hate! )


If someone robs you after you have just cashed your paycheck and you are left with nothing, cant feed your family, pay for a roof over your head..

You go directly to -------> YOU GUESSED IT RAGE/HATE!!



That said it looks like to me there are a lot of people/vendors who are using this forum to prey on people.

Thats said the very first order of things should be to make this forum neutral.

Currently the forum is advertizing ads for persons or vendors that have induced RAGE/HATE in most if not all their customers.

The customer or miners have no other recourse other than rage and hate!


Imagine if you went to the police station and found the guy that put a gun to one of your family members heads..

Imagine if you found him having drinks with the cops and laughing, and giving each other high fives!


Thats what it LOOKS LIKE when people see the ads here.

Hey that's the guy who robbed me and my family and you guys are giving him high fives and having drinks!!

Let me tell you.. that paints a portrait of this forum that's not exactly a Picasso! Considering its one of the largest places of discussion for bitcoin its not exactly doing wonders for the bitcoin community.

 
Sorry to be so critical. Its just the way i feel..   I think the openness of these forums is one of its greatest assets but at the same time i think there is somewhat of an underlying issue when it comes to integrity.

Besides taking a neutral roll,
 
I think a good start would be single threads for Asic vendors. Some of the vendors are starting a bunch of threads, maybe to deflect away some info being brought to light in one thread. Also a sub forum/thread for each vendor thread where people can talk about gripes, issues and what not so as to leave the main thread for development talk. The biggest thing would be to have a flagging system of sorts. We cant have vendors ignoring customers who have sent in thousands. Some people are putting up their tickets and order numbers and getting absolutely zero response from vendors. Legit or not this cant go on..


Now imagine sending in thousands if not tens of thousands and not getting a simple receipt or order confirmation and being ignored only to have these ads blasted in your face every other page by the very same vendors who have ripped you off! Its a direct spit to the face ..

Its a recipe for inducing rage/hate
..



Im not sure my single vendor thread idea is worthwhile but what i am sure of is the neutrality of these here forums.

With all due respect!
Ya cant be part of the problem and be the solution at the same time!

Yes, although to be fair I don't think Cointerra has released cooling specs/info, neither have a couple other companies.

Yeah i was going through cointerra's faq looking for it..
