HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[Syke]

Except... there was no "Two more weeks" updates.  That is a meme that has no basis in fact... go on, try to find evidence.  You can't.  I said "Umm, two weeks?" once in response to FCC certification.  That's it.

What's this?

I said I estimated it would be finished by September. We are close and will probably miss that estimation by... TWO WEEKS!

Oh, look, another "two weeks" estimate. There's a plethora of them out there.

he's already been through this, this was not a lie. Just a "new, cutting-edge technology imponderable".
But please ignore him, as he's here just to cover for his De Castro's friend, while they invent some new way to have this scam going further.

And, if anybody is interested in a KinkLab review... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7b8pWoj2c

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.

Hey Phin, what makes you say that James Johnston uses Abram Kottmeier as an alias and not the other way around?

You dig a lot shit up from HashLast that is very funny to watch.

Just got in, here in dive into my favorite thread in the whole wide world. Can't wait to read what's the latest. Meanwhile, a phone number to offer up: 415-577-5523. It was gleaned from http://pdf.secdatabase.com/1272/0001584096-13-000002.pdf. Care to guess whom it belongs to? Go ahead! Take a guess. Here's a clue: http://lists.sillylittlecars.com/pipermail/silly_little_cars-sillylittlecars.com/2011-May/003685.html Oddly, nobody has mentioned it before, at least according to Google.

Again you attempt to confuse the issue by nitpicking the details. That meme represents all of the many "almost there!" updates you made.

I agree with Tehfiend here. I was a day 1 BFL customer. The '2 weeks' comes from the biweekly status updates that Josh used to provide. Each time something came up that postponed shipping. Hence '2 more weeks'. BFL was supposed to ship in Nov 2012, but ended up shipping (at least my 1st day LS order) in July 2013. That is a lot of bi-weekly 'almost there' updates.

Here are a few if you are interested. With gems such as:

Week of January 26th
* Final chips roll off the line
* Grab suitcase, a BMW or a Peugeot and make a break for the airport, Ronin style (You can see Tom about 6 minutes, 20 seconds into the video)

Week of February 10th
* We implement the 1/3 shipping plan en mass
* We descend upon the Post Office, DHL, UPS and FedEx like a horde of angry locust

Well... At least Josh was providing updates. Some of the updates did contain useful info. All HF is giving us is the silent treatment sprinkled with release forms and forced USD refunds.

You might be mixing TehFiend up with me.  I worked for Intel doing direct development down to 14 nm, and some very speculative process research that is still at least 3 generations out.  I retired this spring in no small part due to some excellent investment decisions made because I knew Josh was lying and BFL was incompetent back in 2012.  

Heehehe.

There are quite a few knowledgeable people who here in these forums that have mentioned all along about those 2 things. Thanks for trying to help people see that. HF seems to be tapping the same vein unfortunately.

Mammoth 3 T product is called Maggot - hmm, srsly?


Maggot™ (3 TH/s)

Who knows. At the very least they were in batch 1, same as baby jet batch 1. HF should be sending out some stable units to  customers at the front of the queue as well to be fair. But, i guess it was easier to send checks to babyjet batch 1 and send units to icedrill. That all we know for now right?

By sending forced USD refunds to Batch 1 customers that paid in BTC they have effectively booted them out of the shipping queue.

Even if they don't cash this unsollicited check, if there are units to ship they will clearly not ship to these customers.

That better not be the case. I want either a full btc refund and if they cannot do that then my original order plus MPP with enough miners to get back my original investment. This is what they guaranteed and this is what I paid for and expect. If they think that just cause they sent us a "fuck you" USD check we are out of the shipping queue they can go screw themselves. More cause for legal action and further justification and proof that they don't give a shit about their customers and only about their pockets.

What?  How did you get a guarantee that MPP would get back the original investment?  All we got with MPP was this:

http://hashfast.com/miner-protection-program/

f the Bitcoin network hashrate increases so that your Baby Jet doesn’t generate more Bitcoins in ninety days than you paid for it, HashFast will give you additional ASICs. In fact, we will give you up to 400% more hashing capacity than the Baby Jet you purchased. Yes, that does mean that if you don’t make your money back in 90 days, we will increase your mining capacity to up to 2 Terahashes!

Well, back then when I ordered I think the wording was different. They kept on changing their website and ToS every day of the week.

If they're not going to pay back the btc people sent them then at least send them double the MPP...ie 800%. With 4 TH delivered soon I may at least get back 50% of what I paid. That is a lot better than a 90% loss with their forced pay-off option.

More proof that Long Dong and Skropenis knew about Bitcoin prior to them becoming the marketing arm of HashFash. It seems their other partner, David Neawedde, a.ka. deejne of whom I've mentioned prior on this thread (search deejne) just so happened to be on a panel discussion at the XBIZ Summit with BitPay's Tony Galippi back in May, 2013: http://newsle.com/article/0/73437396/

Featuring Avi Bitton from Wicked Pictures, Douglas Richter from AWEmpire, JuicyAds’ David Neawedde and BitPay co-founder and CEO Tony Galippi, the panel will look at the nature of bitcoin and its role in the economic ecosystem.

David Neawedde can be seen here on Jame's Kottmeier's site: http://web.archive.org/web/20100909154440/http://playpencash.com/index.php?go=contact

Damn hes' right.

But TheFiend is a genius. So is my friend Entropy-uc.

They beat down poor Inaba in every argument with logic, common sense, facts and experience. I am sorry for the mixup of identities. My hats off to you both.

(P.S. For those who don't know, Inaba called Entropy-uc (a professional by trade) all sorts of indecent names just for commenting on his silicon  packaging and dodgy practices / claims. Inaba agitates easily, so approach with caution.)

 I'm guessing the improper use of "peaked", where he probably meant "piqued"

Bingo! Something no longer learnt during the first 9 years of higher education.

Wasn't it surprising to see who the only poster was that replied to that particular thread? This was back in May, and that article quoted mentions David Neawedde, an associate of James Kottmeier and John Skrodenis, the marketing arm of HashFast.
