no one said they were smart...
It's not being smart, it's the alphabet.

It would be incredibly interesting to know how much Ciara has been assembling for HF and when. And for that there is the law... Or greenbtc's contacts, i assume (and i'm assuming this user and this source to be trusted, not something we should do).

My contacts are nothing special, cedivad.

Go onto CIARA's site, find the contact us, shoot them an email with your concerns about their partnership with HashFast and they will tell you all you need to know--FIRST HAND--so you don't have to keep trusting other sources.

I feel like while HF fucked up big time, the majority of the FUD in this thread *most* don't do their own due diligence and follow up. I hear you all complain about not being able to get in touch with HF or Ciara or Seasonic or Uniquify and all it takes is a quick email I've found to get answers--and they even get on John and make him respond to emails.

This timeslots at ciara thing is BS.

Elaborate.

You have a product that loses value for every second that is not producted.

You don't wait for cheap timeslots at Ciara. You choose someone else or you pay a premium.

no one said they were smart...  just saying if they had other batches, and this silly exclusive deal, there must be a schedule or all batches would be shipped in same week

CIARA is not hard to get a hold of, when I talked to my contact there yesterday he assured me there were people from HF assembling at their location as he wrote to me. He also confirmed that they are shipping some of their stock to HF in SF, when I asked why nothing had shipped from their location.

Wait, so after their track record you still expect them to deliver the MPP in a timely manner??

Also, I'm sure the time slot they had reserved with CIARA is gone now and that's why they've been shipping from their San Francisco office, so expect shipping to take a while.

but they knew they would have other batches, so wouldn't there be other timeslots on the schedule?

they could push out the backlog during the next go around right?

For those that are still interested in receiving their miners, I would like to report that it is possible to get your non-cashed refund checks cancelled and your B1 orders re-instated by hashfast.  I'll keep the forum updated when they deliver (for 60BTC day one order, hopefully it is before they start shipping B2).

I don't recommend going through the support phone service.  They are just a screen and is a totally useless avenue to reach anyone who can do anything.

I mailed [email protected] and copied [email protected] but I think it was the sales email which created the case which then had them followup in email.

Once they got back to me, they wanted me to confirm the check numbers and amounts to cancel.

Once confirmed, we will be happy to reinstate your place in the shipping queue.

While still not ideal, I think this is still a much better option than the the unsolicited refund offer.  Hopefully they will get this initial order out shortly as well as the MPP and us B1 BTC buyers will be looking at only a 60% loss rather than the 90%+ (with taxes) of the USD buyout.

Though it all now depends on MPP delivery on minimizing the loss.  Hopefully I will be able to get mining before the weekend... tick tock.

I haven't gotten anything yet and I live pretty close to CIARA.  But I'm batch two.

I'll be putting these out to pasture on the PPC network as soon as I get them, I guess.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
So anyone hook up a killawatt to the BJ?

let's see some numbers.

And while we are at it, can somebody who is getting their BJ delivered now take a detailed picture of the PCB so we can compare the revision number with one that was delivered earlier? Is it really an updated PCB?

If they have a working PCB, and they are capable of boxing up all the units with light speed, all should ship out this week (or is this yet another lie/broken promise)

If it's an old PCB, they must have been testing them (mining?) to sort out the less bad ones...
Everyone who gets a BJ will also now get a HJ for free:

Please allow Two Weeks for delivery. HJ can be upgraded to a BJ with a 10% restocking fee. Since we are now in full-production mode, NO MORE REFUNDS, but we may or may not honor our exclusive MPP (Most People Panic) Program.

I have a mFi power strip so I don't know how accurate it is compared to a kil-a-watt but it says that the miner is drawing 497/498 watts overclocked to 500Gh (650 mhz core clock).

How do you adjust the clock rate? I had a peek through the cgminer source and the firmware but I couldn't figure out how to change the clock rate.

For comparison it says the raspberry pi is drawing 2.5 watts

How are they going to use the power supplies that they showed at the factory all those months ago for the Sierras.   Weren't they 750W power supplies?   If the sierra will draw 1500W it is going to need two 1000W psus to power the boards.

Good point SolarSilver! They should be delivering now at warp speed with the deadline for batch #2 so close (jan-31), so something must hold them back.

Also, I paid direct to a wallet address. No Bitpay involved.

You can pick up 400 GH/s now for 3.8 BTC. How many BTC did your Baby Jet cost?

Delivered within days at no risk; perhaps we can move on from all this preorder madness.
