The annuncment should come for the iceminer asset, so there should at least be an announcement. It will be vague and useless, yes. Then they will "carry on" until december, when they will ship from the 25th to the 31th.
And if they file for bankruptcy we will have the first open source 28nm asic design ever.
Seriously unless you know something we dont, you should take a chill pill. HF announced a delay, the cause for the delay, a solution for the problem and a new rough ETA thats still a week from here. Whats this panic about? If you never anticipated these things could be delayed by at least a few weeks, why did you even order? I can understand BFL customers getting upset about waiting over a year and hearing new excuses and delays every other week, but thusfar, this seems a total non issue. Be honest: are you upset because we are now 5 (!) days beyond their initial shipping window, or because difficulty is 2x higher and growing much faster than you expected when you placed your order?

I'm upset because of the lack of proofs of: 1) That they where ready to ship at the end of october. The lack of a stupid PCB pic is unexplainable, nevermind the "it's under NDA" excuse. 2) That they had an actual delay and that TMSC really promised them an initial delivery date of the chips of the end of October.
This is leading me to the conclusione that we are being laid to. This is why i can't accept it.
I always knew that the shipping timeframe would have been critical, but i had faith in HF to keep their promises. Not only i was wrong about trusting HF, but we are also being laid to and, as if it wasn't enough, ignored.
Let's see what this update will be about.

If I could just pitch in, I haven't really been keeping up with the thread. What is this talk about an announcement today? Did HF say they were gonna post an update?

No pictures of pcb boards, no announcement of the chips (knc took 2 weeks after getting chips to start shipping) 4. No refunds 5. No communication from Hashfast. (everything is under NDA apparently)

3. there is no proof that the devices will be completed any time soon. No pictures of pcb boards
no pics of pcb i dont like either knc took 2 weeks after getting chips to start shipping
wrong. Orama stated that the chips arrived per courier at sunday in two batches one directly from korea and one via korea and paris. the first miner left knc at tuesday. so thats basically 2 days from chips to shipping.

So why they're making you the announcer/go to guy now tacotime?
They used to post here like daily and now they basically all disappeared. All of em.
Shitty situation. Updates needed but they're hiding behind a guy - whom they take ages to email back to.
Yeah. Up until about the 18th, all the Hashfast people would post here. Now nothing.. Where are my 12 Baby Jets?.. I expressed to them when ordering that I was coming from 1.2 year wait at BFL. They kept telling me they're nothing like BFL, they're on schedule, blah blah. They seem more like BFL every day. With the Hashfast Baby Jet drawing, going silent, posting for ad space but not here, and generally their change of tone. They all seemed like good people on the phone, now they just refer me to the fine print TOS. That's cool and all but whatever happened to them wanting their customers to succeed? +1 ! i really dont understand Hashfast silence... where are my Babyjets too ??!

Fabrication process for the chips was announced finished 9/17. It took almsot 2 weeks to cut the wafers and get them to KNC. My point was, Hashfast isn't even at the fabrication finished announcement stage.

Chin up little buddy. We know TSMC won't fail to deliver. The sun'll come out Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs, And the sorrow 'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck with a day That's gray, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And Grin, And Say, Oh!
The sun'll come out Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on 'Til tomorrow

That mean I throw money to water without any sound. So we will need a layer before they announce anything we do not want to hear?

BFL should be shipping about that time (we'll see). That happens far too often with preorders

I want a refund. Dont be surprise they ship after dec 31 2013 and update their tos without notice. Too many red flags and they struggle to give a update because they have no more excuses, but to stay silent.

I need a refund, too. I called them but no answer, so what are they intending to do? I think they should have a whole plan, or why place the TOS as hidden fine print?

Predictions for today's announcement?
Batch 1 to start shipping 25th Nov
33% = there will be no announcement 33% = starting to ship #1 25th Nov 33% = starting to ship in december 1% = i dunno 100% NO announcement Why? Because the teachings of Yifu/Avalon say so: 1. During phase 6 "Delay, Smoke and Mirrors" of our little game, your customers should already been fallen in slight despair and cry for a lawyer. 2. Stay calm, no lawyer will delve into such a clusterfuck! Release the shielding shill. He will take the blows while you feed him with nonsense to communicate to the sheeps. 3. Build up false hopes by letting him announce announcements, then dive away for a couple of days AFTER the planed announcement date. DO NOT announce anything (because there isn't anything to announce anyways, lol)! 4. In the meantime, attract more sheeps with the money of the "valued ("we want our customers to succeed")-1st batch customers" (which are, by the way, obviously arseraped the hardest, as always) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F1qtwEpI.jpg&t=665&c=gUB4OyNRP-uxBw)

Well, we got 2 options.
1. Wait and accept that our money is lost possibly receiving our miners in the future with a very high negative ROI. 2. Stand together, complain to the FTC, lawyer up, and hold them accountable for not keeping their promises.

Man, this thread is full of despair. I really hope for the best for you folks that have sunk a lot of money into this cluster. This type of thing is very bad for bitcoin in general. It is too bad there isn't some sort of mechanism where customers have some kind of recourse with teeth that the suppliers fear (e.g. chargebacks). I suppose that is one luxury we forego with the low processing fees. Although, I suppose it does allow for new business ventures to emerge.
