What an f'ing mess.
Although there are things that only HF knows, assuming the company really has a working miner, lately I keep concluding that Hashfast's least worst option is to double down on the MPP. If they don't, it's not a question of if they will be sued, it's only a question of when - January 3, 4, 5? Or shortly thereafter. And the likelihood of those suits being more expensive and damaging to HF than "giving away" extra boards is high.
If they can just put working miners in peoples' hands in the next few days and, having done that, unambiguously pledge enough more MPP boards (like 8x or something) delivered faster to MPP customers, then it's going to defuse 85, 90, 95% of the bloodlust. And they can compete with KNC et al moving forward without the dark cloud of hate hovering over them.
I don't see many other options. Stonewalling and abusing your customers ala BFL just isn't going to work for the boys from San Francisco.

This is not a bad idea.... I would probably still be a BFL customer if they had just gone the extra mile and gave the june2012 customers something extra... ( i didn't even get, or want my 25% coupon)
if HF gives me 8 times instead of 4 times.. I would be a very happy customer !
