Someone gave up on the main thread and decided to only troll this one.
I guess that your hourly payrate is not lowered cause of this?

Sorry for that.

All I see is some parts from newegg.com. A piece of aluminum. And some Legos painted black.

You should also be able to see the GIANT picture of the PCB and a video of the airflow test too.

Wait, there's something in your eye.  Remove the jaundice and you'll then be able to observe what's plain to the rest of us.   Roll Eyes

Yeah, I'll put up 5 BTC (or less if that's too large an amount) in a gentleman's bet saying that HashFast will not ship finished miners to customers in 2013.

Shipping means delivery into customers' hands. Hosting doesn't count.

This took 6+ months?

There is nothing one off there.

It hasn't been 6 months ... yet.

Spiffy pictures.

Re: The smoke machine video, perhaps the babyjets will be free of the avalon problem where at high fanspeed the controller overheats due to a deadspot in the airflow. Tongue

I think they should have put a piece of clear plexi on top of the unit... It looks to me like the smoke was swurling in one corner.

i think once they have the other fans blowing air out (which they will)... then there won't be such swirling deadspots.

or.. they could fix the airflow by having some air-guides channel the air away from the power supply 'walls'

Hi all,

Just an update on what has been going on over at HashFast.

First the big news - our first substrates arrive on Monday, Nov 25!


These are the high precision PCBs that lie between the silicon die and the rest of the motherboard.  Once substrates arrive motherboard assembly begins, followed by board bring-up, chip bring-up and system bring-up (the process of testing chips starting at low power and working up to full spec).


So, reading between the lines, we can expect shipments JUST before the Dec. 31 deadline... and you appear quite happy to be shipping a product months late.

I'm just so happy to have gotten involved with a company like you guys.

Thanks for the update.
Thanks for providing a picture of a 3D-printed model of the PCB, of which you released a rendering yesterday.
And thanks for the 25th of this month substrate delivery timeframe. I guess that we will have to wait till middle next week for the next update, tough?

Can you post some pictures of the production PCBs you had made in October back when you were still on track for late Oct delivery, before the substrate issue delayed everything for a couple months?

- When are the upgrade chips shipping ?

Hi all,

These are the high precision PCBs that lie between the silicon die and the rest of the motherboard.  Once substrates arrive motherboard assembly begins, followed by board bring-up, chip bring-up and system bring-up (the process of testing chips starting at low power and working up to full spec).

For the past few weeks we have been busy assembling and testing the Baby Jet and Sierra. These images are of the Baby Jet. We are optimizing the Sierra and Baby Jet to make sure they run as cool as possible and validate our configuration's thermal management.




The video below demonstrates an airflow test of the Sierra and shows that all is working correctly in order to get sufficient ventilation flowing through the chassis.  We did the same with the Baby Jet, though there is much less heat with one chip.

http://youtu.be/2QURuDM1P0E


Here is the image of our PCB.  It features 16-phase voltage regulation, the best in the industry!




Providing our ASICs with very smooth, stable power ensures they run at maximum speed, while minimizing hardware errors and providing greater hardware reliability.

As soon as the system is successfully brought up then volume production ramp of the complete motherboards begins. We will be shipping the motherboards daily to Ciara, where they will be assembled with all of the other components of the Baby Jet and Sierra.


Cheers,

HashFast Team

As people suggested, they will ship something by the end of the year. Let it be rebranded KNC/BF, they will make you in a position where you will receive those useless 400gh and can't ask for a refund.

After that, they will delay to death the MPP, and at the end of the story you wlll have 10 to 25% of the BTC you paid back.

They will be happy, they will have won.

I have no reason to bet, but i would.

You can be guaranteed that they will ship before Jan. 1.  Even if it is broken, consumes 10x the power, 1/2 the hash rate, and uses someone else's chips, you will be sure they will ship

Wanna bet?

(No, I've not learned my lesson about those kind of bets yet.)

I will bet if u are willing.   HashFast is a US located and registered company.  They have binding arbitration agreement in their contract.   They essentially lose everything by not shipping by 1 Jan. 

Oops, replied kinda late.

Yeah, I'll put up 5 BTC (or less if that's too large an amount) in a gentleman's bet saying that HashFast will not ship finished miners to customers in 2013.

Has anyone ever received any hashfast equipment?

Are you cyperdoc?

No.  Cypher helped HashFast launch their products but is now just another (very, very early) customer.

My role as community liaison is to facilitate growth of an open source hardware and software ecosystem built around HashFast's technology.

So far we've got GWQ integrated into cgminer, and things will really start to pick up once the reference PCB, data sheet, and miniboards are in the wild.

Best,

-HF_CL

It be great if we can smaller amounts of chips to work with to prove designs that are open source. Will there be any opportunities to buy small batches of chips in lots of 10 or 20?

This is a good question even if they are considered engineering samples possibly at a higher price (and optimally that price could be used as a deposit towards a full reel purchase).

That be fine anything some chip specs and some dummy chips even would be great.
