But... Poor startup can't do anything to help us, and you can clearly see that they are doing their best for the best interests of their customers!

(ironic, so that this post doesn't gets used against me)

I know, the harsh light of your hypocrisy is bright and blindingly painful. You'll get over it.

Once that i will have my money back and/or made a company to close and sent a few people in prison yes, i will get over it.

You are a lucky guy, Josh.

I am the buyer of a baby jet batch 2,
Someone I could say that I order the return date of the money?
Pay in dollars, not in bitcoins and I want my money back

thank you very much!

Got a unsolicited stupid USD refund and did not recieve my BTC back, should I cash the cheque? And request for the rest of my refund to be paid in BTC and which lawyer are people using?

"Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal." -Heinlein

BFL (Josh) & HF are rationalizing the situation one way, customers are rationalizing it the other.

However there is no need to rationalize. We have a sales contract with clear terms. All that needs to happen is for both parties to live up to their obligations as stated in the ToS and Order Confirmation. No more, no less.

Warren Buffet Quote: "Those who won't fill your pockets will fill your ears." That's what HashFast's been doing from the start.

Question remains: How will it develop further?

I predict they're going to make as many machines as possible and divvy up what they have to the customers. Not everyone will get their machines or all their machines that they ordered on time. It'll keep getting pushed back but eventually you'll get it. People who cashed their USD refunds won't get anything. Just because you received a check doesn't mean they're forcing a refund; I think it's there as bait for you to take. They'd much rather you take it than deal with potential claims. (If you pursue a claim, and if you win, I think it'll take you awhile if at all for them to actually pay you out, but I think it will put pressure on them to get you hardware at least). Batch 1 may get more than a BabyJet, but I doubt they'll get their full MPP right away or anytime soon. They'd be lucky to get a Sierra. To pay up BTC claims, if any, they'll prob have to self-mine (just my rational prediction, maybe with their own hardware). Personally, I'd rather fight to get my hardware then wait a long time to get their BTC claim.

What I find ironic about this (and everyone else who's complaining) is the fact that so many people cried for the longest time about BFL and about how "You are required to give refunds if you don't ship in 30 days, the FTC says so!!!!!!1!1!" (which is wrong, by the way, but whatever) - now that it's happening, the same people are crying about receiving "forced refunds."  

So which is it, do you want forced refunds according to the commonly held misconception about the FTC or do you want your hardware? You can't have mutually exclusive results happening simultaneously.

inb4 "But this is different." ... It's not all that different than what BFL went through.  We had engineering problems, HF is having engineering problems.  I have no doubt Hashfast is working as fast as they can to get the product out the door and everyone at HF is having sleepless nights over it. I have no inside knowledge about it, obviously, but I can imagine what they are going through.  Could/can they handle things better? Yes, absolutely, just like there are many things about the sequence of events that BFL could have done better about.  Unfortunately, neither BFL nor Hashfast are large, multi-billion dollar corporations that have the resources to do that... we are a few people, bitcoin nerds mostly, trying to deliver a high demand product that grows exponentially before ones eyes.

I hate to say it but Josh is the voice of reason here.  The thread is completely polluted too.   It would be VERY helpful if HF popped in and gave a bit of an update about the units they have shipped and what updates their boards need etc.

You need to have your ears checked.

BFL's Josh has pretty much done the same as HashFast.

--Disregarded emails from customers for (many times) month(s) at a time. A little money can fix that fact. (fact, go read their forums)
--Been unreachable through their phone system which often dumped people before reaching anyone. Again, a little money can fix this fact. (fact, go read their forums and this one)
--Refused customers their refunds when requested. (fact, look everywhere)
--Played games with their order processing status when customers asked for a refund. (fact, err I mean...they always claim..."a mistake")
--Generated shipping labels and notifications that had no immediate shipping reality behind them. (fact, go see either forum)
--Allegedly, shipped to larger customers first and out of queue in backdoor deals. (debateable, but believable)
--Shipped to customers (out of queue) when they complained about not recieving refunds, or requesting one. Then feined/displayed ignorance until they "became aware of the error". (fact, go to either forum.)

etc.

Don't believe anything said by Josh. His reality distortion field will mess you up inside.

But that's not what I came here to post about. Somebody may need to copy the following video for posterity in case it ups and vanishes like so many other links associated with HashFast that has happened most recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfI70X78aLc

As seen, James Johnston posted a video about himself using the name Abram Kottmeier, soliciting a résumé while already on HashFast's payroll, teamed up with Skropenis.

Wow Phin, you really know how to dig shit up.
I really enjoy this 1.
Thank you to make me laughing again.
We all need it after the stress that HashLast has caused all of us to have sleepless nights.

[PuertoLibre]

poor josh ... let me shed a tear on your poor fate ...
obviously, you can only compare hashfast's logic to  your own company, because they are identical in the way to screwed your customers

As close to bingo as you can get.

I haven't bother to hunt, but pretty sure I could fine a video on Playpen.com depicting Long Dong Johnston and Skropenis banging away Kathee, all three donning a pirate outfit, timestamped the same time Frick and Frack were supposed to be servicing their customers. Oh, wait! I guess they were all served when they paid for their Golden Nonce orders. The only thing left now is for them To Cum Together.

Any time you come to these forums spouting your typical BS I feel obligated to refute it for those that might not be aware of all the facts. You can blame the massive BTC loss the majority of BFL customers experienced on "engineering problems" but the fact is that you intentionally misled your customers about the true nature of those engineering problems and their effect and your schedule. Either that or you are completely incompetent as anybody can go through all of your public posts/updates to see that either you were blatantly misleading/lying or just had absolutely no idea what you were talking about. There's no third option involving "engineering problems" as shown by how quickly both Avalon and KNC were able to bring ASIC's to market. HF would have to be another 6+ months late with dozens of "2 more weeks!" to come even close to the level of failure BFL exhibited. You don't have to be a billion dollar company to be honest with your customers...
