HashFast Sierra's Owners Thread

[aasl]

I got the mail. batch 3 and 4 to be shipped in May and June. 1.2T in that time... any difference than just send a brick?

[kevin911]

I know this is off topic but i hope that hashfast reads this forum, i would just like to thank them for completely destroying what i had. so far i lost my business due to me investing into them and using my savings, lost my house due to losing my business and now having to stay at a friends house in order to pick up my life and start over.
I have tried contacting them via phone and e-mail, but keep getting the same bs.
this cant go on! their ruining lives!

I'm order #1955 and haven't gotten anything from scamfast, save the latest excuse letter. Wonderful to see they sent a bunch of later orders.

[kevin911]

sooo, any batch 2 sierra customers had their orders yet or an e-mail of confirmation? considering hashfast are saying they will have batch 2 complete by end of April.

No peep from HF, but they did post you can upgrade your Sierra order for their new faster vapourware with an increase of speed, but with a super late May (June/July/August) delivery

Complete bollocks, of course

In the mean time, no Batch #1 MPP delivered (they might after late May 2014)
                          no Upgrade kits delivered

So of course no Sierras

At todays USD/BTC exchange rate, it only makes sense to ask for a refund

[solarion]

...are they actually giving refunds though? These guys seriously need to spend some time in lockup.

LARRY was misbehaving at first, all i had was a red led. no fan noise, nothing. use default cgminer settings and BAM!! the fans kicked in and it was roaring!! and then suddenly nothing and this spits out on cgminer:

LARRY didn't want to run for more then 2 secs... so i lowered the clocks settings down to 300 (--hfa-hash-clock 300) and LARRY decided to hash for more the 10mins. After which I kept upping the MHz by 50 every 10 mins, all the way to 604 (--hfa-hash-clock 604).

1440W at the wall.

Happy mining

hi.
can you tell us your order number please

[kevin911]

so was that message from QuiveringGibbage just a hoax? cause no one else had anything and now he/she's conveniently not replying.
smells like a hashspy among us feeding us more false hope hmmm

No, he bought it second hand.

[kevin911]

Makes sense. So still no batch 2 sierra's or any fracking word about them.

[yuriygeorge]

1) Is the Sierra pretty loud? Can it  be left running in the guest room with the door closed without bothering anyone in the rest of a condo? If a guest is over and is to sleep in the guest room, is that thing gonna be too loud for him? How loud, a hair dryer, an airplane, in the middle, or better?

2) Do I really have to prepare myself to doing the paper clip trick for the power supply? Any great resources for that?

Thank you dear honorable Sierra owners.

It depends entirely on the ambient temperature as to how loud it is because I made the fan control adjust for optimum efficiency in terms of the lowest fanspeed required to maintain safe temperatures. If the room is warm they will get very loud but if it's cold they're pretty unobtrusive when behind a door/wall. They come with their own PSUs so there is no need to power them separately.

Behind a door/wall - no problem. What if there is a guest in the bedroom where the Sierra is, is it gonna be bothersome for the guest no matter how cool the temperature is? Thanks.

I'm in a cool environment here. They are very quiet as long as they are not hot.

[yuriygeorge]

Awesome, because with a Cointerra TerraMiner, it's like being in an airplane hangar.

P.S. I just received an e-mail that they are gonna send out shipping confirmation for tomorrow. Batch #2.

Yep, 2nd hand

Sorry, didn't mean to stir people up. Was just excited to boast..

Cheers,

[kevin911]

10 days down, 20 to go until hashfast fail at another attempt to deliver at another delayed date.

[kevin911]

Has anyone heard from hashfast lately? Or received any sign that batch 2 is or has been shipped yet?
