Not only that they where mining with our gear, also they pushed the next diff around 2%
what also mean that when we have the miners we and all other will earn 2% less.

[jspielberg]

Well... at least that means they have 200+BJs being tested.  Who knows... maybe they will hit the end of the year deadline.

Actually it looks like they had 20TH before the 23rd. I can't think this could be anyone other than HF, but where did they get the initial 20TH?

[starsoccer9]

It saids clearly in the new TOS that they will release today or tommarow that to fund all MPP they will mine on customers hardware

thats the hashfast address? any proof?

They are they not  shipping from Canada directly? Right off the assembly floor?

Circumstantial obviously... but the circumstance are "unusual" i.e. no one else really has the means in the same time period.

If you know of anyone else who suddenly was able to get 80TH+ of mining gear... we would all like to know.

I guess it could be Asic Miner... but I haven't heard of them coming online with anything new.

What game are you playing? You post an address without any empirical evident of it being HF's, claiming that is probably the HF one, and after that people starts to have legitimate doubts, you demand for proofs?

For the records:

This could be HF. Check out the jump in hash rate around the time HF would have finished assembly.

Dear HF puppet, i don't know how, but it looks like that you alone are enough to throw this thread in the chaos. You are making me to lose trust in this community post after post.

Please someone tell me that i'm not alone at being confused by so much stupidity hanging around. john was right.

If HF was going to mine with our equipment and keep the funds would they really do so on such a public pool?

If it is HF, why would 1Stats (eligius.st stats donation address) give them money?

I don't think this is HF.

Just to clarify, this transaction occurs when WizKid does a Manual Payout. It doesn't mean they got paid by donations. It just means that the payout didn't come from newly mined coins.

It doesn't mean anything regarding who that account belongs to.

Don't mistake this as me thinking it is HashFasts account. I personally have no opinion on the matter as there is no proof one way or the other.

I don't think this is HF.

Sometimes pool payouts come from the 1Stats address.  I have used Eligius for the past few months for a portion of my hashrate and have seen this multiple times.

I am not advocating the address is HF, however, as noted above.

Remove the tinfoil hats  

totally agree... it would be unlikely for hashfast to be mining with customer hardware when customers have got pitchforks and torches outside the castle.   there is little to no chance that this is a hashfast address.  it just much too open...  its the number one contributor on eligius.  why would they be operating a 'secret mine' so openly.  much too blatant (thus extremely unlikely to be them) !

although i do wonder what happens during their burn in tests... they must mine somewhere.  i wonder, even if the burnin was just a few hours for each miner... i wonder how many bitcoins could be earned doing legitimate burnins on 550 batch 1 baby jets.

If HashFast was mining with your hardware (which I'm not even remotely suggesting), they wouldn't need a pool at all.  It would be highly unlikely a pool would be involved.

[miaviator]

Hashfast only has one miner.  I doubt it even runs for over 10 minutes.  

I would applaud them if they managed to get a bunch of units mining and started mining.  Then maybe they would pay refunds in B instead heading for bankruptcy and litigation.

If you can build one, you can build a thousand of them.

What's the production of a thousand broken miners?   a few PH on a cycle of 10 mins on two hours off.  Under 10% usability?   Of course they could be busy printing all of our shipping labels on our shiny new baby jets.   

Schrodinger says the baby jets are both dead and alive.   I vote they still smell like a dead cat until someone opens the box.

Sorry... but I beg to differ.  They were already proven to be mining at eligius.

Gateway/Steve is highly involved with eligius and has been doing website work(?) for Hashfast.

Normally this would be good news! 
The company would be relaying that the machines are in the final stages of production and are undergoing burn-in/testing for a batch of X for Y hours and shipping will commence shortly.  But lately like all things HF, they have been silent about anything concrete.

It could also be their own "private" allotment of chips... but I think that would be done on a private pool (like Bitfury). 
The reason why it is all hashing against 1 address is because the testing firmware is blown onto the sd card and powered up... they don't need to change anything for the test run.

If HF is already mining, they could be part of the reason for the growth of the Unknown-part on blockchain.info's Hashrate Distribution last 5-7 days:
