HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[cedivad]

I wonder if any of these people have given us real names.

Out of curiosity, do you know the real name of the CEO?

And about what Bruno is doing, if you want to prove something, i hope that you are saving good proofs of it (eg email headers as you said, archive.org or at least screenshoots, etc).

Come on, gays guys! I can't play alone. Ask me why my last post is even relevant. And, if you play nice, I'll share with you where the Sierra name came from.

Ok, I'll bite... who at HF is gay and why is this relevant?

Funny you should ask.

Why are they always from a photo studio and why do they always want to get into a buisness of selling ASIC to Bitcoin Miners?

It always comes down to which of your salespeople have the most prostitution sites registered to their alias.

Uh...Embarrassing....

[SantaMuerte]

This shit is hilarious.
People still think HF is legit.


Wake the fuck up!

They have scammed you, the coins and funds are stored in some banana republic and Eudoardo & co is sippin' Mojitos on a sunny beach.

All you do is digging up more and more information that points into the direction "We fooled you and raped your wallet".

"It's only a crime if you get caught"
Congrats on a well executed textbook scam HashFast.

Now enjoy the money.

Not true,  HF is a legit operation managed by fucktards.

Let's just say ; The core group, working on the chips, is not well surrounded.

Good lord what has this thread turned into ? Something tells me that  VP Marketing & Sales, John Skrodenis, who's coming from the porn industry did the hiring.

"Experience:  This dude is a true hustler. He was more interested in being worshiped and taken care than catering my needs. He wanted to piss on my mouth, and I said no. He kept saying that I had a fit body, but didn't take good care of me (if you know what I mean). He only penetrated me few times and lost it. The rest of the time was just conversation and waste of my time. There is a reason why he asks for the money up front. Be aware. I know I'll never hire this guy again. If you're a tranny and like a short blondie, you may be up for a treat, though..."

Now lets stick to hashfast !!!, The action of their sales team is non-excusable.

[PuertoLibre]

That guy has a massive rash....

Lets hope they are competent sales do'er rather than watcher'ers.

@ PG

Your emails reveal what probably most of us (the smarter ones at least) suspected. They are going to ignore their customers until the 15th.

If you apparently wave cash or promise Bitcoins transfers, they will apparently respond straight away...

[–]techknowledgy 9 points 4 days ago

I met Simon, John and Eduardo before they went public back in August and had to sign an NDA at the time. While they talked a lot and had some credentials to back it up, I advised my client not to invest the multiple million dollars they were asking for at the time. I also advised HF that they needed to make sure they were open, honest and didn't get into the mud with their customers because they didn't quite seem to understand the nature of marketing in Bitcoin and the Bitcointalk forums.

I remember specifically telling them NOT to bullshit their customers as BFL did because the results would be disastrous. John Skrodenis, their marketing guy at the time, knew very little about Bitcoin as he just came over from working for Kink.com, so I was just trying to give him the lay of the land.

They then proceeded to muck everything up from the beginning with affiliate BS and all sorts of stuff like the change in TOS, etc.

I'm really glad we stayed far far away from these guys, otherwise my client would have thrown millions of dollars into a black hole.

Hell, these guys didn't even know how to add the Bitpay widget to their website and had to be walked through it.

They also broke our NDA. Not surprised it isn't going well...

IMO the most important thing is to get exclusive contracts with the porno sites, otherwise using any crypto doesn't provide any advantage to SXC.

 I'm sitting on a sizable amount of SXC and will not be dumping any once it goes on an exchange

The webcam girls we have talked to are pretty much drooling over the thought of using SXC..

The other currencys simply don't have the branding, and won't be using any specail features coded into their clients for the industry, so won't gain a foothold. How many devs are out there actively trying to recruit sites?.. We will be starting with the smallest. We can also use our branding to gain publicity, another crypto isn't news. A crypto aimed at "the sex industry"... worth a bit of hype ...

But "kink.com" for example, has a host of kinky sites under it's umbrella and uses it's in house currency "kinkcoins" so users can get a taste of materail from a site they own, but the user isn't subscribed to. We think they are the sorts of sites that will hold out the longest.

Small sites and struggling sites will be the first to adopt, and as the currency and the business model gains traction, the huge sites will pretty much have to adopt as not doing so hurts their business.

As I said before SXC is defying the odds, and I have been trying to buy, but everybody seems to be holding. I don't think there will be a huge dump, although certainly some holders will have weak hands. It will be interesting to see what the market does.

We had the huge miner hit the network up again, but this time they were way more gentle, and that tells me that the info we recieved was probably just the result of an idiot boasting on an IRC channel. Somebody with a lot of hash is betting SXC is different than most of the crypto's and stashing some away...

All of this speculation is probably useless... What if they wanted you to focus on their marketing hires and not on the management? Dunnow.

[cedivad]

Is it Edward L. Rodriguez de Castro or John Skrodenis? Even the anonymous cofounder would do it (Peter Smith) (i think to remember one of the early post with this name, gonna check back). (it was Bob Smith, of Uniquify).

I remember that in one of the early videos (Sorry, no link) Simon or possible Eduardo said he named the rigs after his kids.

Baby Jet

Sierra

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So Phin figured out that the Sales manager at HF is gay and uses several aliases. Not sure how this is relevant. In marketing and support it is actually quite common to use an alias. For example, employees at call centers in India all operate under different names. Not sure why one would need multiple aliases at the same time though...

The thing I took from it is that he's into prostitution, runs/ran several porn sites/escort services, and has some sort of weird god complex. His facebook posts say a lot about his character and what he's capable of as a person. Would not be surprised if he had some sort of weird twisted justification as to the actions of hashfast and that we're evil horrible customers for demanding what was promised to us.
