crumbs, let us not forget your original supposition.
you said that b/c HF was using BTC-only tx's, this was BAD for the Bitcoin economy.
this is wrong.
stay on track please.
No. Now you're simply lying. You said that HashFast was helping the bitcoin economy by only allowing bitcoin transactions. I said that it was not. Don't make me dig through the thread & pull the quote. Try to be honest in cases where your lying will be *immediately exposed.* I mean *minutes.* who's lying? who put in big bold lettering somewhere above " Bad Thing"? Oh, please try harder ... the only counterpoint i'd make is that HF, by only accepting BTC, has demonstrated a restraint to NOT bring in as much money via pre-orders as the other companies seem not to be able to resist by using cc/pp. they also do want to help the BTC economy by doing it this way. it allows BTC to circulate and change hands to buy real products, not just Alpaca socks. ...
This argument is absurd on its face. The BTC will be immediately cashed out to fiat, to pay for expenses, development & production. If that's "circulation," simply cash out your BTC to credit card yourself, then pay with your credit card. It makes no difference to the bitcoin economy who cashes out bitcoins, you or HashFast. Cypherdoc, if you're going to spin, step up your game. The post that started it all ^^^^Do you want me to go through the thread & put some context on the quote you've pulled out? EDIT: Full quote that you stripped from content:More BTC on the order books *needing to be sold* is a bad thing, Cypherdoc. Learn how to lying It is a good thing. Greater distribution of coins from the holders that traded their coins for miners. At this point i'm simply waiting for an apology from Cypherdoc for lying without learning some skilz first.

You do that, Cypherdoc, but anyone bothering to read through this thread will know you to be not just a liar, but a horribly inept one. If you're going to lie, at least get good at it

once again, i disagree with what troll crumbs has to say.
by using BTC-only tx's, HF is encouraging/facilitating the use of BTC, and by doing so helping the Bitcoin economy.

Crumbs is a ridiculous troll, who I have on ignore. However he is correct on this. While you could argue that BTC are goods, the best you could argue in that case is that when you sell them on an exchange, you increase the velocity of dollars in the economy. But you're not really increasing the velocity of bitcoin.
On the other hand, simply buying the miners in BTC would increase the velocity of bitcoin, since it would cause BTC that was tied up in wallets to be actually transferred from one person to another, in exchange for something. That would not be the case if they were purchased with dollars.
This. If you look through your entire thread most of it is long multi-page derails dealing with trolls. You will never convince crumbs (et all) that this a good deal, not even after delivery, not even if the buyers end up +100% ROI. They aren't looking for information or answers to their questions. They are just looking to "win". Every possible answer you can give they will find a reason why that is bad, every rebuttal has another rebuttal. Fighting every nuance of their troll arguments defeats your entire goal to advocate and get information out on the product. As for crumbs allegation that sales in BTC sales "don't count" unless the entire supply chain is in BTC well that is just silly. There are many countries where the supply chain can't be completed without the use of FOREX. Obviously the longer the supply chain is in BTC the better but ANY place to use BTC increases its utility. A goal of only using BTC when none of it is converted to another currency by the counter-party to cover non-BTC costs is a pointless standard anyways. Every merchants, every service accepting BTC improves its utility. The bitcoin economy won't just jump from nobody accepting it, to entire supplies chains being 100% BTC overnight. Merchants accepting BTC is good for the utility of Bitcoin. If he doesn't get it, it simply is because he doesn't want to get it. He is just looking to prove your wrong and more you go down the stupid rabbit hole with him the more rope you give him. You could go another 500 pages and it doesn't really matter what you say they will just bounce around and look for another angle where you are wrong and drag you down into that minutiae. Either ignore them or put them on ignore so you are goaded into responding. You are doing exactly what they want. Plus most people have crumbs and his like on ignore anyways. All you quoted responses just give him an audience to people who were already ignoring him.

You can disagree all you want, but now you've been caught in a dumb, boldface lie. You've also been shown to know nothing about what you preach. It's all right here, in this thread -- the Cliffsnotes of Cypherdoc fails.

It is about as useful as debating with someone who believes when the sun is up that is called "nighttime". DeathAndTaxes, if you offer something more than a passing insult, i'd be glad to debate you, otherwise STFU, k?

Hi Everyone,
We launched a blog today: HashFast.com/blog
And quoting the above since it seems like the crumbs debacle buried it.

FWIW, I'm a huge fan of this approach: https://hashfast.com/design-of-the-rig/Having as much as absolutely possible be an off-the-shelf part that anyone can order at any time is fantastic. What I'd love to see in addition to this blog post, though, is a detailed component manifest. I assume all parts except the ASIC chip itself and the board it's mounted on are off-the-shelf parts, and it'd be great to have a list of the production components available as soon as possible. Additionally, as has been mentioned further back, it'd be great to understand exactly what would be necessary to mount the 2nd chip if the MMP comes into effect; eg, where do you we get the PCB for it? (forgive me if this was already answered; this thread got....long).

I assume all parts except the ASIC chip itself and the board it's mounted on are off-the-shelf parts, and it'd be great to have a list of the production components available as soon as possible. Taking it a step further I would love if the company would consider future sales as a "kit only". Maybe just shipping the ASICs, control board, and maybe the waterblock (as they will need some form of cooling to test them before shipment). With places like newegg and amazon most people can get PSU, cases, and fans easily and it means the company has less to build. Even watercooling gear can be acquired off the shelf rather easily. You could even see hobbyist threads on different setups (i.e. multi chips loops, best third party radiator, good low noise fan, etc). Not saying change existing orders but consider it for the future. Additionally, as has been mentioned further back, it'd be great to understand exactly what would be necessary to mount the 2nd chip if the MMP comes into effect; eg, where do you we get the PCB for it? (forgive me if this was already answered; this thread got....long).
The MMP covers just the chip for "free". I would assume that they would offer to sell you a board populated with your free chip (i.e. price is board price minus ASIC cost). There has also been some vague statements about open source boards that means you could (my idle speculation) see third party board builders like you do now for Avalon. However getting some detailed answers would be helpful when deciding to buy or not. I hope HF realizes that simply shipping some chips with no method for end user to convert them into boards is utterly useless and would kill any rep they have overnight. I have no problem with the MMP being "chips only" it is better than anyone else is offering and I understand to use the MMP would require some additional cost but SPECIFIC DETAILS would be nice.

you guys have to remember that Simon is convinced that the Golden Nonce 1 will easily go over 500GH/s. it's just that the responsible thing to do is talk about nominal rates of 400GH/s.
he wants to avoid creating hype and over promises.

Cypherdoc, what currency are Hashfast intending to pay their suppliers in?
you'll have to ask them. We are trying to pay in BTC as much as possible.
