My 2 cents: I used to go to school with one of the employees, havent bought any hardware, but am familiar with how they operate and seen their setup with my own two eyes. You don't have to take my word on this, I am only affiliated to HashCoins via proxy(classmate), but I just think all this bad rep their way is unjustified. Due to the nature of the supply chain, the business model is sub-optimal, but its what they have.
If direct questions were asked then it would give management a chance to respond to any queries rather than resorting to some internet-board rabbling, fingerpointing and "I dare you"s. Maybe its time for moderators to clean the thread up and make it a more direct Q&A - style thread.
PS. just want to reiterate that i dont own a miner, am not affiliated with HC, I just own a few GH/s in the cloud and have a good friend working there who just shared some of the frustration surrounding this topic.
Another noob who can vouch for hashcoins legitimacy. I guess we can rest assured they are not a scam now. /s
Maybe you can ask ckolivas to clean up this thread. Oh wait that's right, the moderator/cgminer dev is the one calling out hashcoins for faking cgminer stats.
A better idea would be to ask your "friend" why he refused to send Mr Teal a zues board for 100 BTC. That's 100 times the market value and it would dispel the overwhelming doubt surrounding this extremely shady company.
There are only two reasons I can think of why they might not want to accept Mr Teals offer, either they hate money/sales or they are scammers.
mate, i'm not going to get into any arguments with you, im a) not an evangelist of HC, and b) only saying that they are a legitimate business that come through on ALL their orders and c) am doing my own thing, which is in no way affiliated with HC. I only choose to defend them because this is my friend's venture and i see the frustration these accusations bring him. We just live in the same town and country and its in both our interest that bitcoin flourishes here.
Im not going to bother to even read the past flame cause it would be 30 pages of unadulterated dross (had a glance), but if YOUR friend "Mr Teal" truly wants to buy a Zeus miner for 100 BTC I WILL PERSONALLY see the transaction through (and claim 50% of excess on RRP).
The only reason noone took it serious is because these "Bets" are just immature, unproductive dross. What if I told you: whilst you put money in escrow, HC will fly you out to Tallinn, Estonia from wherever you live, put you in 5* hotel for 3 nights, pay all your expenses during the stay and show you the office, the mining rig, the orderbook and business registrations and if it turned out that you were wrong you reimburse HC the sum + 50% on top for the trouble and bullshit, what would your reaction be? This rambling is absolutely pointless because you refuse to listen to people who already told you they received the gear, writing them off as noobs shills and whatnot. You know why they haven't got many posts ? Cause they dont spend time jumping into arguments on boards and instead get on with their lives (and mining).
In regards to me, im not interested in (nor am i an expert in the technical details of) mining or turning a profit from it, i just want to see BTC develop here and enable people to perform BTC / fiat calculations, and it just frustrates me when people without a clue claim to be some experts on all things mining and BTC
I personally think HC have missed a trick by not addressing this earlier, but some of the accusations made in this thread are just pure filth
Please find 1 person who ended up out of pocket. Lets hear THEM out. And still, if the Zeus for 100 BTC offer is on then I will see it through
@hashcoins,
Id highly recommend you send you atleast one review unit to me or another legendary member who can go and verify your units are real so all the claims of your units being fake will no longer be an issue.
VOR mate
If only people were as fast to admit their mistakes as they are in jumping to conclusions in internet arguments. as far as im aware these have been sent out pre christmas
