HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[amer]

Visited HashFast office yesterday! They where quite busy so I tried to stay out of the way but I did get to see this hashing away!

You saw the unit hashing and instead of asking why the hell they don't ship the units or taking any photo or video of the actual performance specs that everybody wants, you took a useless photo of the pcb.

Tell me more  

Actually, he did:

 HOLY SHIT ! (I'm an idiot for blurting out his first name) ?!

 My lord ! It's been years man ! Had no idea you got into Bitcoin !!!

 If Gateway says it's legit, then I guess I should seriously consider ordering one. Know him from WAAAAAAAY back.

Interesting that they switched to a double wide radiator with two 120mm fans similar to the H100. I wonder what the final power numbers are going to come in at?
If there's a silver lining for B1 BabyJet customers, it's that they're not going to be able to cram 3 240mm radiators into a Sierra case, so if the wider radiator is absolutely necessary and they can't just run some high flow fans hard it could delay the Sierras.

More than likely they'll just crib another lesson from BFL and include a sign in each Sierra box.

So basically still unfinished since its mining from the laptop and not a raspi.

 HOLY SHIT ! STEVE ?!

You ruined my secret identify! yes its all real... and to everyone here I do not work for HF, I mainly help them with their site and server stuff, Im quite busy doing my own thing with an awesome video game company I co founded.  I will also not be getting into the politics about them being late or what ever they are doing.  I know they are doing their best they can to get boxes out.. but I wont commit on anything else really its not my company.  I will try to post more photos for those that want to see stuff.

Xian01, haha nice man! I'm usually hanging out on irc channel #eligius , mostly idle but also help with their site and stuff.. cheers!

The problem is not if they are legit or not. The problem is the constant lying.

I should probably consider ordering one of these...

Are you the next cyperdoc? Reading your post made me nervous.

 No. Just got suddenly and genuinely excited from recognizing an old friend I haven't seen in years in a photo. What a small world.

 Didn't mean to blurt out his first name like that either after recognizing him in the photo. Damnit

 I have been following the HashFast drama as a spectator with no stake in it, and was excited to see someone I know verifying the existence of these.

 My bad My total bad

GN chip bringup: Running two of the four die in the chip. Clocking it at 700mhz and .84v core voltage, it's doing 248Gh/s on only 2 dies!

the actual Jet mining on Eligius at a under-clocked rate of around 425+ Gh/s

Under-clocked and temperature of 76 C

Interesting that they switched to a double wide radiator with two 120mm fans similar to the H100

Something is really wrong with the temps.
I hope they will tell us more

[cedivad]

No problem Xian01, but your friend's friend made a first level bitcoin scam and can't be congratulated with.

We were screwed one month ago. today we are totally fucked. for gods sake just ship them as is. I dont even care if the raspi is working at this point. We are losing the chance to roi every day, literally.

When will they ship? Power numbers?

[cedivad]

Imagine a week from now.

Anyway yes, it would have made more sense to ship everything possible 2 weeks ago and follow up with firmware updates. However i guess that the bigger radiator has something to do with this delay.

Under-clocked and temperature of 76 C

hmm.... "max temp"  =|=  "temp"

NO!! We don't want crapy BS miners that fail!. We want a real fully functioning product that can stay up!! No need to get crap that needs to be RMA'd! and reduces ROI anyway!

Let me try to recap the facts:

- The shipping date (Saturday) promised by a high HF official has been missed without any explanation what's happening
- There is not a single board hashing at full commercial speed (not overclocked, just full speed as shipped), only a board hashing at the lower limits for safety
- There is not a single BabyJet test-hashing in shipping form with everything included (RaspberryPi)

Is there some other important fact I've missed?

Yes. cypherdoc is a tard, icetard is a tard and shill will always shill and be tards. Inaba is a tard too!

Let's see -
received wafers five weeks ago -
No word on official power draw or nominal speed

received production substrates two weeks ago
No word on official power draw or nominal speed

Production PCBs ready for baking two weeks ago -
No word on official power draw or nominal speed

Oh.. 400 baby jets have been "assembled" in Canada without pcbs, but if the pictures from gateway's trip are accurate, they are most likely going to need to undo the work they did originally installing the smaller water pump unit.

The only substantive info seems to only be shared by fellow enthusiasts rather than the company.  No clarity on how they will be honoring refunds if they miss end of the year delivery.

[CoinHoarder]

It seems HashFast is getting close to shipping. At least they have a working unit.. that's more than Cointerra/VMC/Black Arrow/etc. can say.

I take this as good news.

Sure, they are late... let's be honest, who here didn't expect them to be late? With such an ambitious timeline I figured they would slip on it.

At least Batch 1 purchases are covered by the miner protection plan thingy... I'm not really worried about it. I'm more worried about my VMC order.

[jspielberg]

I think the hardest part isn't that they are late... It's the lack of communication.  As it is clear they are nearing the end, they should have even more data to share rather than "waiting for chips to arrive from fab."

This lack of timely substantive communication is reminiscent of Avalon batch three... an experience I was hoping I wouldn't need to go through again.

Without any milestones or estimates it is hard to fudge when delivery is actually going to happen.  Makes it feel like they are never going to ship.
