Perhaps still no PCB to test it with. 1 week and half more. Let's see if they will delay again.

PCB is the easy part... they can have these out within a week usually.

The realist
These guys are obviously unprepared. Knc chips came. And witjin hours they had a working unit.

Hashfast = Huh?

Yes, this is very good news.  The next thing for them to do is start hashing with the chips.

And yes, if leakage is lower than expected that means higher GH/s/w or higher overall OC capabilities.

So long as the chips work and don't need to be respun, I'm guessing at this point we're a week or two away from volume production.

@HashFast: GN chip bringup - commands going in and responses coming back out. It's alive!

Looks like we're probably good to go.

Speak English, doc! We ain't scientists!!

Tough crowd. Everyone was screaming for updates, and now that they provide some interesting and very detailed updates, its still no good because you dont understand what they are saying.



It means they have applied power to the chip and are they are pleased with its electrical properties, but haven't tested any work yet.

There are two types of power usage:
dynamic - (i.e. productive working power logic gates charging and discharging to do work)
and
static (or leakage) - power that passes through a gate even if it is below the switching threshold for the gate.

As process nodes get smaller and smaller, the gate size (or the barrier that basically keeps the electrons on one side vs other indicating on or off) gets smaller and the chance of electrons improperly tunneling across that barrier goes up.  The stronger the electric field the larger the leakage.

I am not an EE... more of a well rounded nerd, but basically they are saying that at idle, the chip is exceeding expectations.  This is a good small step.  The next test is to see how it performs with real work load.  Hopefully they will have some numbers today.

I forgot about the Australian team, but this is some test that is being run in the states, because the chips are there... So this one for me is like the first good news since October.

The good news about the twitter updates is that they are working during the night. They must be excited Smiley

They have staff in the USA and in Australia, there is absolutely no reason why they could not work around the clock

I will wait for the 6th december
Why that date? I will wait for the 13 of December, just to come and say "how strange, you have yet to ship".

Also after 30 pages againt HF here in this thread they will
never more post here on this forum.
Someone has forgotten who scammed who in the first place. I'm so sorry that HF can't come here and update us more than twice a month because of... We are defining them for what they are.

I´m so unesasy about my money, but I still hope and pray that they give us an kick with any news on this date.
I don´t know why. Normaly I feel bad and get fear, when I´m at a point when  I will loose my money, the same when I´m all-inn
on and shares invest, but in this case (and today) not.

I don´t know what happend with me, my money and HF

sorry me!

Does anyone have the Terms of Sale before they changed it?

@HashFast: GN chip bringup is under way - IOVdd and Vdd applied, slowly increasing current.

@HashFast: GN chip bringup is under way - Full voltage applied, leakage is lower than expected.

@HashFast: GN chip bringup - Clock applied, power rises as expected. Time to send some commands in next

This means their are already testing the chips into the board or that they are still testing the chip itself ?

I will ask Jhon as soon as possible but I supposse they will make an oficial anouncement when they finish testing the chip.

Soooo....  how many stories ending in tears like this guy?

"So when I saw the HashFast BabyJet was going to do a minimum of 400 Ghash/s, I had to get it.  I spent some time researching the company, and they seemed pretty legit.  They are well funded and seem to have good management."
