HashFast claimed that they're having components shortage hence they dont ship their miners to the customers..... However its damn clear they sold their cards to private dealers. (increase more cashflow) Ofcourse these dealers will claim they're producing cards using HF's ref design. |

My understanding is VMC had to source the components themselves - but to be frank I don't really care. Can't gettem from Hashfast, gettem from VMC - in stock and shipping. |

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

Let's keep this thread on-topic guys - these are VMC branded boards and chips.

Maybe at the chip level or when underclocking them. It's about 1W/GH or a little more from what I see. Is it me or do these look exactly like the HashFast(Scam) boards/chips?

(increase more cashflow) Ofcourse these dealers will claim they're producing cards using HF's ref design. Apparently HashFast has a cash shortage so they cannot produce boards but they don't have a Chip shortage so they are selling their chips with their reference design to their boards. All you have to do is hand this reference design to a PCB board manufacturer along with all of the parts and bam you have an identical HashFast board. |

It boggles my mind how they are short on cash when they charged $10/GH and are selling the chips for $1.5/GH |

Ok so I tried to buy a board, 181 left when I added 1 to my cart, now down to 179. But I cannot purchase because the checkout pages never loads the shipping options. As far as I can tell this is yet another scam, any company that has pre-order products with no delivery dates etc. etc. then starts selling HF boards... ouch.... but I'm not sure how they're getting any money since it seems the checkout process is broken...
update: their call us online fails and the phone number on their website is disconnected.

So this is why VMC can't issue any refunds? They spent all our money on Hash Fast chips and PCBs.  Stay far far away from this company. |

I handed over money in Dec last year based on the premise that it would be shipping end of Dec. Subsequently found out that it was march and that the unit would never ROI. Asked for refund. I send daily messages asking for said refund and have yet to receive it. Ken Slaughter of VMC is a scammer. If/ when I get my money back - highly unlikely now, but I will retract the scam accusations. Hand your money over to this company at your peril

Good on him. I wish ken all the best in his quest to build mining cards. However you can't dispute that he is a lying fuck who stole a vast sum of money from pre order customers to fund it. This raises serious ethical questions. By the way these prospector cards will never roi. Yes in still waiting for comment from ponzi ken regarding my refund. |

You guys have to realize that you're not the only ones who funded this company. Ken has a financial obligation to IPO investors who believed in him long before pre-orders were being sold. His business decisions may seem strange at times but we have to remember that he is running a two-pronged business here. Many shareholders have been unhappy at times (I'll be the first to admit that), and customers have been unhappy at times. Fact of the matter is - the rain is gone. You guys will be compensated for lost time with a 250% increase in hashpower and investors will be rewarded for getting this whole thing off the ground. Mining companies have a huge conflict of interest (especially public ones)...but its just part of the business.

I still haven't got my refund aster asking for it 4 months ago and sending messages to him and customer services on a daily basis.
Pray that nothing ever goes wrong with your card because if it does then you will NEVER get a refund or replacement.
Kenneth Slaughter is a scammer ( I am proof of this).

Magzy if you have a pre-order you should be able to get a prospector to fulfill your pre-order? And then you can stop feeling so hard done by.
