HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[fenwick]

me wonders if lovely cara has the same curiculum vitae as other members of the hashfast team   

She at least seems to have the body for it and probably no problem to get a new job in this business after HFs liquidation.

Guys, would you please show some respect for the lady? (Seriously.)

(She might very well be an outsider, just hired because they needed a nice person for the face of the company.)

Look! I'm outta quarters and somebody stole our fans.
So, I guess I get to go home now.

Meanwhile, at the Badlands Saloon.

you may as well let them run away with your money.

I would really love to have the data HF has about the % of people who agreed to a USD refund and the % that actually sent a certified letter demanding a proper refund.

I would love to know the % of refunders who paid with usd vs btc.  My guess is so far it as predominantly been usd-ers.  I can't see any btc-ers willing to take a 90% haircut for HF.

jcambond posted an address HashFast used to collect payments.

I sent my entire payment to: 1B3FHM4Ax5BFuRidKBcfURfMaPBEDMDvQ8
Is there a way to know whether these BTC were eventually cashed out through bitpay?

This payment was then sent directly to address 17hCi8apMUkzzLLJgUwfXxRJuykuo5Lcur
We can be confident this is HashFast's own address by looking at the first and last deposits to the address, and the dates.
On August 6 2013 at 6:30pm a test deposit of 0.001 BTC was received, this is in line with the timeline for the first sales.
On October 28 2013 the last transaction can be observed, from this point deposits were directed to another collection address.
By this time it had become evident to customers there was a problem, and HashFast began directing payments elsewhere.
Looking at the total BTC deposits it is clear HashFast have received most of the payments in BTC.  It also appears HashFast have oversold the number of stated units available.  This may explain why Batch 2,3 and 4 Baby Jet orders are not published.  It can also be confirmed that not all of the BTC deposits have been converted to USD through BitPay as suggested.  Here at address 17Vj6tneMEueGgS64aEiNr1fHurEiEHZas we find 1.25 BTC.  This deposit came from address 1BGWkLdRwK8PPGH5ziToopTSdnsjtjM8aa which in turn came from 17hCi8apMUkzzLLJgUwfXxRJuykuo5Lcur
There can be no confusion because both addresses have had only one deposit.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Phin.

Next difficulty retarget occurs at block 280223.0 (eta 1.1 days): 2068618701.42 / +45.8% [est.]

If you are going to be a bitcoin miner, at least get your facts straight.  

I have no clue what "bitcoindifficulty.com" is calculating, but the timestamps since the last re-target say:
$ bitcoind getnetworkhashps
14783251099573804

Which would be a 45% increase.. and across 1830 blocks, thats probably a pretty good estimate.

If you're going to correct people's facts, it might be wise to cite something that explains what they're actually calculating.

But who cares? 24% vs 45% ... Hashfast customers are screwed either way.

Edit:  Ah, the getnetworkhashps got changed to default to "last 120 blocks" instead of "since the last retarget" by default. There was a huge step up in hashrate ~5 says ago. I'd be betting on an actual change of 27% or 28%.

They're just using different algorithms for the calculations, they were both reasonable estimates depending on how you're estimating.

I liked the slogan "Bitcoin mining and transaction verification happening live @ CES"

Were they hiding an Avalon under the table or just playing a movie?

Too bad, I would really have liked to meat them at their stand (it's not a typo)

Ok, i'm officially going mad.

I guess i'm not alone.

you dont ...., you dont..   i loose a part of my mind in this story too ..

[cedivad]

Since that the thread is dead, i would like to share my last stupid tough... if you compare the branding used at the december booth and the CES one, you will see that the december one was studied, it was done by someone that knew what he was doing, while the CES one seems like to have been done with word and/or paint.

(bullet points with that interline? please)
(logo on black background? has that something to do with black being the default color to replace transparencies in PNG? please)

(i got some good ideas for points against them but i won't share them or my lawyer would kill me )

im sure the thread will start again soon as Hashfast lies about something else or steals another potential clients money

Something tells me that the people who are responsible for the last 4PH jump (and i'm not saying that it's HF) don't really care about making more sales, since that they already do in the millions per day of money they don't have to pay taxes over.

But those people can't reach 50%+ of the network by self mining, and if they are avid enough, they will start selling this hardware as well.

another place to report scamfast if you havent already. dont forget to include eddie's name in the report so they can add him to the no fly list

http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

[Legend21]

Well i am a batch 3 customer, also have send a e-mail to Scamfast, i also ask for my refund if they cant deliver this month. i totally get confuse by them and ask them if they already know if they cant deliver then dont let batch 2,3,4 wait so they can also ask their refunds back.

By the way we now all discuss about ScamFast but do they read this? or react something? I mean they havent react here since December ? I mean?? they know they under pressure? And still not communcating with their clients? In the begin they were very easy to contact and if you want to order ... they react directly.., but when it becomes to Fail to deliver and asking refunds back then they gone and dissepear in nowhere?? And lie and make photos how they packkage the boxes to shipping and set it on Twitter? I mean come on.. ?? Soon or later they know they will been trapped.??

They promote their business on evenings without deliver even 1 rigs jet? What do they want? Promote Scamfast so they can steal more money?? Eduardo De Castro?? What are you doing with your customers? Pay your clients back + Every mineday that we have been lost.

[matthewh3]

I think they're waiting until they've mined enough coins to profit before paying any refunds out.

[Coin_Master]

Has anyone been in contact with Ciara? It would be interesting to know how many units they have assembled.
