HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[Phinnaeus Gage]

With all due respect, I may have gone a tad--only a tad--overboard, but the gist of what I've posted is to show that we are not dealing with who we think we are dealing with.

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.

I guess you missed the part where I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Abram James Kottmeier (or whatever name he uses during house calls) and John Skrodenis have been partners (probably in more than one sense of the word) in previous ventures, namely the gay sex industry. Also, I shown that Mr/Ms Kottmeier lives at The Sierra at Jack London Square--Built in 2003--a 223-unit condo complex.

Now, about your grandma comment. Would you like to see a pic of James standing next to his grandmother? It's on his FB page. She'll be the one without the tattoos.

Ergo, he REALLY DOES have anything to do with our problems with Hashfast.

With all due respect, ninjarobot & gmaxwell, PG's work might prove very useful for anyone going further than just bending over.
It does belong here, in my opinion, and does merit some thanks.

Proving that Kottmeier & Skrodenis are very close is a very interesting fact.
Proving that HF is actually open to taking a couple more "pre-orders" despite what their website states is very useful.

Cheers PG, keep up the good work.

Now, let's all agree to shove Abram James Kottmeier joining HashFast in November under the rug. The SOB's been a driving force (no pun intended) behind (again, no pun intended) HashFast from day one.

Q.E.D.

Thanks, bud. And notice I don't, nor never have provided any bitcoin wallet addresses soliciting tips for my service. In fact, I'm on record in paying out bitcoins seeking relative info in the past.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Via a PM from an undisclosed Bitcoiner.

They are planning to take a hell of a lot more preorders

It provides a strong case for criminal intend, not just plain stupidity. They come from an industry where they are able to rob their customers and get away with it...

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Someone needs to go to CES and stand in front of their booth with these pictures and information to hand out to anyone who stops by their booth. Doubt anyone is going to give money (for bitcoin devices at least) to a prostitute.

Anyone in vegas? I'll pay.

Of course, if a potential customer is into getting raped via role play with a prostitute, then all bets are off, and the customer wins regardless if s/he receives a HashFast product or not.

That's some expensive role play

Maybe they'll accept Kink Coins.

People who use experimental internet-based currencies are capable of finding porn for free.
Out of interest has anyone used btckink.com recently? It looks like it is done manually by some guy, who may have gotten bored with it by now.

I support this.

And we need handouts for the press.

(i could and should go myself)

I am in Houston Texas. Have free time from School. Unless anyone is closer that's up. Or power by numbers. We get a group to go.

Ironically, we would probably get kicked out.

wish I could go...  we should   OCCUPY HF AT LV



edit:  in other words, set up camp at their table and tell everyone what is going on!!!

[joshv06]

I am down. It will push them to be transparent and actually ship out our stuff..

BTW, has anyone seen this video from HF?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SLuAenIG2M

I never saw it posted.

[joshv06]

Anyone willing to donate toward occupy hashfast @ ces?

Have 1 bitcoin so far.

Still looking for reputable / professional member to pass out information at ces.

I am down. I can bring my older brother to contribute to the group size. I have a DLSR camera with lighting.

Yea video is a bit old, people were pissed offf and cursing in the comments so hashfast disabled it.

I call Las Vegas Home.  I live here.  I am asking my boss via email now to get time off.

I agree, some of this is certainly useful. I think we should be careful going on witch hunts though. But from Phins work it is clear that HF typically says one thing and does another:

* Shipping in October! > Err.. we meant December
* Shipping in December! > Err.. we meant January
* Full BTC Refunds! > Err.. we meant USD refunds
* Imminent Dramatic Price Increase, Buy Now! > Errr.. we meant we are not taking orders > Err... Sure we will take your order!
* etc.

It also shows the background of their Marketing team. John has been deep in the affiliate marketing for the porn industry. Really 'affiliate marketing' is just another term for spam and black hat SEO. Just take a look at http://www.xfire.com/blog/ziduru13/5164643 ("Posted on November 4, 2013; by John Skrodenis").

Spamming free blogging services with fake accounts and 'fake' youtube videos to drive traffic and create commissions. Scroll down to see the linkspam (anchors to optimize for Google search results) to other fake accounts on other blog services. Look at the username patterns:

widydy27
ciduta98
wugyny27
fediju94

All fake accounts with link spam to affiliate porn sites. The worst kind of garbage out there. This appears to be the business ethic and expertise John brings to the table and also explains the business with the fake Twitter and bitcointalk accounts during the launch of the HashFast sales: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262052.msg2830811#msg2830811

The fact that John is now bringing in his buddies is not a good sign. at all.

HashFast really needs to clean ship here. They appear to have a good engineering team, but their sales and marketing is the worst I've seen. Deceptive and dishonest. It might work for the porn business but not in the ASIC mining business. So fix it HF.

EDIT: It could be that the content from that spam page was scraped by a bot and John has nothing to do with it. In that case my apologies.

[cedivad]

If the problem were a few people inside HF, they would have been isolated and the problems fixed. That's not the point.

[joshv06]

What do you guys think about occupying HashFast at CES as mentioned before? Not occupying per say but getting the truth out.

I've seen BTC news blogs actually believing that HF is shipping and making news stories about it.

These guys are un/capable with anything.

From what I've been gathering, BFL is a total scam, so I have been looking at KnC and ASIC Miner. However, there is a little bird going around claiming that there is another company called HashFast that is coming out with some good hardware. Hmmm..... Any thoughts?

[[If you don't know what I'm talking about, please refer to "Custom Hardware".... Mining > Hardware > Custom Hardware. ]]

I wouldn't be surprised to learnt they bust a nut after each time they post.
