Where's tapeout?
I like that!
And to all those constant haters: It just an option! If you dont like it nobody forces you to take it!
So let me get this straight. If I buy 2 BJ machines for 11k
And it starts mining but I only earn back about 10k worth of BTC by the timeframe. Then hashfast will send me chips to enable me to get ROI. Well not exactly "ROI". Just break even only. So then I'll have to flop out a further 1-3k for boards/shipping/assembly to potential earn back the missing [11k-10k] 1k worth of BTC? So overall I would still be at loss given that scenario.
Oh does it take into account shipping costs as well? Because that's like 700usd or something?

We are trying to leverage our superior silicon design to benefit our customers, as much as possible.
In your example, we would give you enough ASICs to double the amount of additional hashing capacity that you would have needed - not just enough to break even.
And as well as electricity costs/running costs?
You know a better thing to do would be to offer refunds at anytime prior to delivery.

Also, all this "Miner Protection Program" is useless since the terms state it is non-binding and we as the buyer have no recourse to any consumer protection since they only take BTC.
Except you have to flop out even more money for boards/shipping/assembly/labor and what not to mount these chips onto.
And the downside is that if you're losing money, now you'll have to flop out even more money to potentially earn back what you lost.

Hi Everyone,
We have unveiled details of our Miner Protection Program here: hashfast.com/miner-protection-program/

Nice idea.We have unveiled details of our Miner Protection Program here: hashfast.com/miner-protection-program/

It's way more than nice.
And it happens to be unbeatable.

Can we get some updates? I don't want another domino effect like BFL. I'm still waiting on 2 Single pre-orders form them (July 15 2012)..
I completely agree. it was fun to start, now this whole pre-order thing is exhausting.
All good man, these damn ASIC preorders and failures has driven us all nuts!
I agree I was a bit harsh. Sorry about that! I just got all up in arms when there was a comparison done to chips that both don't exist. Sorry again!
big talk from someone who doesnt even have a chip in hand.
Seems like sufficient credentials to talk BIG.
Code:
Amy has previously worked for Google, Pivotal Labs, and several Bay Area startups,
as well as Nortel and the National Research Council of Canada.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from McMaster University, Canada
She has a degree, she has worked in the industry, she seems legit to me. Let us see when the chips hit the ground and then we can start talking smack. Seems to be a lot of drift from BFL / Avalon disappointment to threads like these. Need to give the companies enough slack to hang themselves I thought?
Willing to give this company a chance as well as others. Let there be chips.
I am sure Amy is overqualified to do the job!

Any updates on the Tapeout?
It hasn't happened yet, but it is very close. I wish I could say more... but will soon.

The sun will come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow
'Til there's none
Chin up, kids!
Slow sales equates to a late tapeout. The fab run can take a while so you're looking at mid Nov to mid Dec. Delayed
I guess that is what the MPP and refund backstops are for... to keep the incentives in the right places.
