HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[cedivad]

Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are right, that's the story.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

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.

Swimming in bitcoins

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.

FUCK THE "NAMED THE RIGS AFTER BABIES" IDEA!

James and John, or whatever the fuck their names are, have worked EACH other for years, and one of them lives at Sierra condos.

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

Agreed.

While the buff shots are sure to get many hearts pounding— considering how quickly forum members seem to fixate on the personal lives of people they're irritated with, the only fucking this thread should be about should be the metaphorical fucking related to failed promises and non-shipped mining hardware.

Can the tabloid stuff move out of this thread unless it has a direct relevance to recovery for customers?  Being superficially interesting isn't enough. Knowing people's real names is but the rest, not so much.

Thanks.

go to CES and get your bitcoins back from that fucktard

PG...... just classic never get on your wrong side.

[cedivad]

So, just out of curiosity, what happened to the poor guys who signed that indescribable refund request HF sent at the end of the year? Did they got their 15% refund at least?

[lemonte]

Has Luke got his Babyjet hashing at over 30GHs yet?

Has Luke got his Babyjet hashing at over 30GHs yet?

Funny you used 425... Looks like it has been stable at around that rate for 12 hours.

Well, I believe that this is the address they had me send some BTC to for direct payment, 1NawHvHnYy1VUqwch8GRdGgXhdanjmLpmk

There is some recent input activity and even a balance in that address as well, of course no where near enough to return our funds from there...

At today's rate they took in over 9M just in that payment address.  Who knows what other addresses they used.

[beavertank]

And Obama promised that, "if you like your healthcare plan you can keep it". Try suing him on that statement.

*cough cough* sovereign immunity COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND UNRELATED SITUATION *cough cough*

Its very similar entity makes promise it knows it cannot keep, prosecution fails due to the slowness of the court system so the entity does not get caught or held liable im any way shape or form.

No, no it's not.

In this case, a private entity make a promise it knows it can't keep, fails to deliver on it, and is open to prosecution for what they did. The people it screwed over may never see their money back, and they may not ever get prosecuted, but it is possible.

In your completely unrelated example, and taking all of your allegations to be true and at face value, the president made a promise and failed to deliver on it. The president has absolute immunity for actions taken in carrying out his duties. It is legally impossible to sue him in your example.

The two situations are miles apart legally speaking. Now take your disinformation elsewhere you ignorant troll.

I see a time in the not too distant future, where people will start disappearing for scams like this, there are so many more ways to get away with
the money in bitcoin, even if they do some time for fraud they have their stash hidden somewhere waiting for them after they do their time.

[GlapLaw]

I keep seeing people say HashFast is investor backed. Where is that information coming from?

[cedivad]

One of the proofs:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1584096/000158409613000002/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

(and this is not even HashFast Technologies LLC)

While what you dug up may be scandalous in the "my grandmother would be shocked sense" if you look at Kottmeier's Facebook page, which is public, he posted on Dec. 7th saying, "What a two-weeks this has been. New job, a trip to London, and a pathway to me living my infinite potential back in clear view."

In other words, he didn't work for Hashfast until late Nov.  I agree with the others this really doesn't have anything to do with our problems with Hashfast.

Any interesting background on Eduardo, John, or Amy (or anyone other than this guy)?

Also, did you get any more replies, or I guess he was reading this thread and stopped responding to you?

Are you sitting down? Great! Now stand up and throw something!

To MeJennifer "Fergie" Ferguson                                              Today at 10:50 AM

Helmet,

O ensure those rates I need to get your order paid for by the end of Tuesday. I'm on a flight to Las Vegas for CES, so I have cc'ed Fergie on this email. She'll help get an order sheet out to you along with our wallet address. She'll need to verify an agreed upon exchange rate on BitStamp prior to sending you the order sheet and then that quite will be good for 24-hours.

Please "reply all" so Fergie is kept on the email and supply us with:

1. Your company name, if there is one
2. Your full name
3. Shipping Address
4. Phone number

Fergie - we'll extend this offer of 25 Sierra's for $5,900 each as long as payment is received by the end of Tuesday.

Best,

Any bitcoiners still in denial that they're not trying to do a money grab? To me, it looks like a 90% certainty that this is just like TerraHash--but 10Xs worst.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Since James is going to Las Vegas, what if somehow he was arrested and thrown into LV's finest. Rumor has it that all prisoners are stripped down and share cells. SHIT! On second thought, nix that idea, for he might view it as a vacation.

LoL, might be a bit less than 15% now that the market is going up again.
