Why you shouldn't buy Hashfasts new "up to 800GH/s" "product"

[joshv06]

So when are you guys turning your phone back on?

I heard the new phone is already on pre-order so soon(tm).

Also, if they are unable to take your call call they will give you up to 4 calls back. Guaranteed.

It seems HashFast_CL had to go home early to mom today and decided to lock the thread at

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=493435.msg5741703#msg5741703

HashFast is working as hard as possible to build and deliver upgrade kits and MPP as fast as possible.

Our engineers and production staff work around the clock.  The idea we're resting on our laurels, or mining with customer equipment, or whatever the latest baseless FUD rumor (tropical island/hammock/mai tai) the forum dreams up, is ridiculous.

I'm sorry but that statement is total bullshit and you know it. What the fuck have you been doing for the last 6 weeks? No equipment has been shipping, no replacement BBJet units for RMA cases. No MPP for the BBJets. No Upgrade kits, except for 1 or 2 units. No Sierra units. No MPP for the Sierra units.

It's not rocket science... the chips are here and they work. The PCB has been finalized and can be produced in a few days time. You have a supplier of power supplies it seems, exclusively. CIARA can slap together over 500 units a day you claim, give or take a few loose screws in their cases.

With these facts, you should be pumping out hundreds of units every day and ship them world wide

How come nobody is getting the equipment they paid for in September 2013? What is holding you back? Seriously? How long do you think you can keep this up?

Who in their right mind will be so stupid to ever order again from HashFast with the above facts? They will be pouring their BTC into a black hole when placing an order.

The HashFast Derangement Syndrome, where the haters spew endless negativity no matter what we do, is getting old.

If you want to talk about haters, trust me, I'm a big hater. You took my preorder BTC and did a runner with it. You have not delivered anything, except a few hundred BBJet units.

The "no matter what you do" part is funny, as you are not doing anything. You are not shipping. You are not delivering. You are not responding to support email requests. You are not responding to support phone calls. You are not responding to refund requests.

So yes, please enlighten us, other than posting about new vapourware products you are trying to pre-sell, what are you doing?

I will tell you why HF isn't shipping anything and i expect a beer tip at the end

HF isn't shipping anything because after adopting the BFL style of doing business now they adopted Avalon's style of doing business and they are selling customer's chip to third party hardware manufacturers. (example1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=488646.0 and example2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=519943.0) They get twice the money for the same chips and what's funny is that instead of just delivering stuff to their customers they choose to just screw them more. With the money from the customers they produced chips which they seem to sell first to other vendors and with the money from the vendors they will fund their lawyers to protect them from their customers. So it seems that HF is learning very fast from past bitcoin mining businesses, but only the bad part.

I wonder if after they finish with Avalon and BFL they will go Bitfury and KnC style of making a big ass datacenter only for them.

You opened my eyes. I had no idea HF was selling chips...

Ok so HF cross posted a reply to my post in their self moderated thread, i guess because he was already planning of removing my answer. So:

HashFast has been selling chips for weeks, it's right on the webpage and very easy to find:

You are right.

I should have said "i had no idea that HF was actually selling chips". Only because you list something on your website it doesn't mean that you are actually selling it.

You are selling the ASIC and the IP for the board, and yet your previous customers are getting nothing at all. I'm quite sure that they would have been happy to have the ASIC and the IP of the board as well instead of void promises as usual.

You might want to lend support to this idea:

Self moderated topics have the warning at the top:

This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic.

One thing that may be of interest to someone reading such a topic would be to know some objective marker of how many posts were deleted that they can then make their own judgements about how reliable the content in it is. A simple change like this would be helpful:

This is a self-moderated topic with 230 of 400 posts deleted. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic.

We need association or guild of reputable miner fabricators and developers.

i'd rather solo mine with 1gh/s.
JUST NO.
 

I only mine at 2.5 GH/s http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc271/baz80/mining_zps8979a199.jpg   its better than nothing lol but its going to take me years to get the Antminer S1 I want so much

They are now fucking over batch 2, 3, and 4 even more by delaying another 3 months, while offering them an "upgrade". This upgrade from baby jets/sierras will only place them at the end of the line of evo orders. New customers that placed their pre-orders 1 month ago will receive their units before old customers that pre-ordered roughly 4-6 months ago. I have now asked for a full refund on all of my orders and taken a huge loss due to HashFast scamming us all. I have no idea if they will even respond to the refund email though since they have completely ignored my other emails from months ago. I am sick of dealing with these thieves and just want out of their goddamn pre-order waiting list.

this should be set as a sticky..  or a buyers beware thread up top for all the bullshit scam companies

I feel like I can't reasonably do that because I can't vet every complaint with high confidence. And I don't want to just sticky vendors who have screwed _me_, while vendors who have screwed other people don't get the sticky.

Like BFL specifically. How about we sticky the post by Dogie about fabricators?

Why doesn't Coindesk do better more indepth reporting on BFL, Avalon and HashFast? They all seem to get a pass on the hard questions.

[smoothie]

Kudos to the OP for making this thread.

Hopefully others will find it and never purchase from HF again.

For the same reason why their articles are link campaigns sometimes.

Paid for articles or advertorials?

Read the difference between the first article against HF (not from coindesk) and the article that coindesk copied from the first source a few days after:

http://www.coindesk.com/asic-manufacturer-hashfast-faces-legal-action/

And yes, it can be fined. Find the bitcoin transaction id.
