HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[Hoofprint]

Ok, since that you are not a troll, and you are a batch 1 customer that acknowledges the list of lies of HF (because you can't deny them), why were you trolling us, saying they were issuing BTC refunds?

I have better things to do today...

you can get a BTC refund like it says in the PDF, its just not the orginal amount you paid

De Castro is confident his computers will still be profitable for customers and cheerfully calls his strategy “aiming the car straight at the biggest wall we could find and gunning it.”

I think he meant to sound macho, but what it really sounds like is stupid.

But that article is fairly good for us, folks.  Look what it says about HF.  Rodriguez De Castro is confident.  But HF is facing lawsuits. Angry customers. Production delays. Missed deadlines.

Now we need some more press to follow up.  To take some of the info on this board and put the screws to HF to answer.  Not bitcoin press, real press.

so where are icetard and cypher tard to tell us about this success?

Did you not hear it on the news, Icebreaker was out on the rescue mission in Antarctica.

I went looking around and could not find any quotes or articles relating to investors. It seems I had actually confused the cointerra "angel investor" article with hashfast. All of this information is starting to run together. I think I'm the one who started that the whole "they had investors" train. And, I was completely incorrect as I could not find one instance where they said they had outside investment.

No, they really said it, several times. Let's look it up later.

definitifely not HF, they don't have a working product.

Luke, Icedrill and a their new PCB rev. might disagree with you.

I'm not sure how much Icedrill would agree that they have a working unit.

Would be great to get an update from the few folks with engineering samples (LukeJr & IceDrill) as to how the hardware performs.

I helped icedrill get his up and running and fixed a few obvious cgminer bugs that only showed up with real hardware especially when it misbehaved (the changes went into git master). He had a 3 module unit. One module was completely dead and had to be disconnected or it wouldn't fire up. One module would overheat and trip the code that disables it almost immediately unless it was run at 20% speed. The final module ran stable at ~420GH. There's only so much debugging I can do remotely on the code without the hardware myself, but there are still bugs in the code preventing it running stable for more than a few hours at a time, but that does appear to be software related. The one working module appears to work quite well at that speed. I know there were a couple of board revisions and I suspect there may have been one more (revision) in the works but not really sure which boards went to icedrill.

I doubt very much these early engineering samples hand assembled are a sign of what the final product will be like, but perhaps that last module is a better indicator. I don't know anything about his power consumption.

All of them. The general rule of thumb when seeking to serve someone: Blanket every possible address you have for them, but do it delivery restricted to an officer of the corporation you know will be at the address (i.e. Eduardo). That way you can prove that he, or an authorized agent, actually got the letter. All certified mail does is provide you with proof that it was delivered somewhere, if you aren't absolutely sure that's the right address you add restricted delivery so you can prove that not only did it arrive, but it arrived in the hands of the right person.

Surprisingly enough, I went online and looked at my fedex tracking info for the San Jose address and it was delivered and signed for by a J. Kodama.  I don't know whether this means that it was actually delivered to Hashfast.  I also fedexed my notice to the Bush St. address yesterday.  I'll check a little later today to see if it was delivered and post.

It almost confirms that they are Hashfast employees - it seems they all have been instructed to never post here again.

cypher isn't, but icetard must be.

Has Cypherdoc ever made his arrangement with HashFast public?
Since it's now a textbook scam, it might be useful if he could disclose the terms of the contract he had with them.

EDIT: Sent a PM to Cypher pointing to this post.

Sadly, Adam Ettinger, a Bitcoiner who's a lawyer, probably was the one who penned the refund policy: http://hashfast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Batch-1-Refund-and-Release-Hashfast-Technologies-FINAL.pdf

HF in brief; They came to the bitcoin community promising the world to raise funds for a 28nm ASIC.  Now they're currently mining and offering customers-investors their money back at a loss.  They had devices in the wild last week and since then network hashrate has exploded - http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

[cedivad]

I really wish you a nice time, tmcgough.

matthewh3, if that was true, it won't be easy to prove. We dont even know what's the company that has the IPs, the contract with the fab, etc... There will be a lot of work to do.

I have no dog in this fight but look at how CT has handled their delay compared to HF.  It just shows it's another toxic US bitcoin ASIC manufacturer like BFL.  The BFL CEO had already been convicted of fraud before starting BFL.  To me I'd find it hard to trust any new US ASIC manufacturers that may pop up after BFL and now HF.

Edit:  For the record I currently have never had orders with CT either.
