I'm hoping to be employed by them shortly, so, as in the other thread, I'll try to get you guys answers ASAP.

So knite,

Was anything interesting asked or said regarding HF at the BTC meetup?

Nothing?

I thought some interesting questions were asked at the meetup, but then, I am biased.

I'm in the midst of a meeting at the moment (the closest I get to free time these days, hence checking the forums). But will put aside some time to put down some Q&As this afternoon.

There was also video taken. Not sure what Plug and Play's schedule is to get that edited & posted, but I'll let you know once I do.

Cheers,

Ask them if orders can be picked up directly at the Montreal Quebec Canada factory and if so will Ciara collect the 15% Sales tax?

Hi Threader,

Ciara is an assembly and shipping house and is not equipped for customer pick ups. Therefore, the orders cannot be picked up from the Ciara building.

Cheers,

Amy's kick ass.

Great news.  I enjoyed your LTC Mining guides from before - you definitely are an asset to the crypto community.

[lemonte]

Amy, are you going to offer a reseller system similar to KNCminer's at any point?

As the units are shipping directly from Ciara, will any duty or tax be charged to Canadian customers?

Hi Amy.  Are congratulations in order?  I understand you've received the chips from TSMC today?
Are they hashing?  Any pics?  
Thanks !

Edit:  Oh, hi Hashfast team -- didn't notice your green light!  Would like to congratulate you too!

 I brought cake...

Oh well, just another broken promise.  Do you even remember?  October 17, does that ring a bell?

YOU SAID I WAS SPECIAL!

Hi lemonte,

No, we are not and will not be offering a reseller program at anytime in the foreseeable future. There are many plans in the works and if such a program does become available, we will be sure to announce it.

Hi Mr. Teal,

HashFast is only responsible for the California sales tax. Any other taxes or duties are the responsibility of the customer.

I'm at a BTC meetup in Sunnyvale, where the Hashfast VP of Engineering is giving a talk right now.

This is admittedly rather time-sensitive, but if anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to ask 'em!

Ask if they're still on schedule for shipping next week.

Not surprisingly, this was indeed one of the questions that came up last night.

And, as of a few days ago, ... ...  it looks like we're probably going to slip, by about a week.

Ironically, not because of the silicon, even though that is the part of the system that takes the longest to manufacture. That's going through the foundry smoothly. But we ran into a delay sourcing one of our other components.

We've now found an alternative source. But that delay means it'll be challenging for us to ship finished systems before the end of October.

It's disappointing, but unfortunately these things happen. I'm glad we've made it this far through the process, and are still so close to our target date.

(I'm watching every day to see how close Cointerra will come to their targeted tapeout date.)

Amy,

Thank you for directly addressing these questions in this thread. I really appreciate you giving an honest reply as to shipping dates. With that being said, as we get closer to that date, can we expect more frequent updates regarding shipping?

Thanks
DHJ/WH

Yes, we will be sure to provide frequent updates regarding shipping. We will be posting an official blog to inform customers of these updates, so be sure to check our website in the upcoming days.

Cheers,

HashFast Team

[cypherdoc]

as Order #1, i can assure you i will be in constant contact with them regarding expected shipping dates and will keep all of you posted.

the excitement is palpable.  i'm not worried about a slight delay.  i've told them to just get everything right.

So you got the chips today?  It's the 17th, your projected date for getting the chips from TSMC?  Am i misremembering?  

[cedivad]

Ok, so november delivery. Can we at least know what is the component that is making us lose one week of earnings? (like 1/6 of what the devices will earn in its entire life)

Ohai Cypher!  Remember this?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270384.msg3267143#msg3267143

"HF is still on track to get chips by October 17 and that is by TSMC's estimate, not HF's"

What's up -- every question is interesting but the one about the chips showing up (or "silicone," as me & Amy call 'em )

[Amy Woodward]

And as Order #1, cypherdoc has my cell phone number. (And we've already talked this afternoon, though I called him this time.)

...Fortunately there've been no midnight calls yet...

My available time ebbs and flows with the demands of each day. But Yes. I can promise you more frequent updates.

Those I'll probably offload to Sam, Erin or Cara. But I wanted to make sure the post about the slippage in dates came straight from me.

yeah, turns out there is a window of time to get them out.  Oct 17 was the earliest.  tiz the way it goes, crumbs.

[cedivad]

Guys, i've yet to understand to what date we have to sum this week of delay to. 17 of october? 25 of october? 30 of october?
And what's this expensive (for our pockets) component? Are you running out of capacitors? (avalon did, remember?)
