John, when will you post the order list publicly? I notice you've removed that from the site now.

I have posted it here:

Re: 'how are you different', we feel it's best to let  the miners who have visited our offices in person speak to that.


Eduardo deCastro

So WTF does a shinny office have to do with all the delays at the fab/engineering problems/shit that may happen a very willing/honest company may face when manufacturing something like this?

You are offering this "elaborate" mining protection program, which offers questionable protection since it's also based on your yet-to-be-real chips, yet you are refusing real miner/buyer protection and only accepting BTC payments, yeah right...

I get this is a free market and that you're probably a willing/motivated group of people, but you're offloading all the risk on your investomers and you should be honest about that.

BTW a bitcoin ATM will end badly.  As in I put my 100 in but that's not my wallet.  Go prove otherwise and give me back my money.

What do you mean? If you ask for your money back whoever owns it can just say no. The bigger problem is someone could setup a fake bitcoin ATM that just takes money and doesn't actually send the BTC...

No way.

All it would take is one non transmission for the machine to be exposed.

Back to business, everybody.

Alright.. so.. well.. it's on!  Huh
Actually, I think it's off, now.  You can't expect executives to hang around now; it's only 8AM in CA. 

I just get a worse feeling all the time about things. 

BFL pulls off another layer of ponzi to keep the industry in disrepute. 

Everybody keeps to variously spun pre-orders, with attendant learned explanations why There Es No Other Vay. 

The network flirts with a half peta hash, and ASICminer is down to around 8% of that right now.  Unknown-origin hash power is at an all time high.

There's evidently a huge amount of ninja chips coming now, and continuing to come, onto the network.

Feds are beginning to sniff at bitcoin in earnest.  Taxation law can't be far behind.  The exchanges are under pressure.  And, still, nobody uses the feckin' coins in a big way, so the outside world continues to see it all as one big boondoggle.

The good news is She's finally dressed and ready for brunch, so that makes it Sunday morning.  So it's all good.  I'll try to pay for brunch with BTC, and let you-all know how that works out.

This is a view of the shop floor of our assembly house:



-John

WOW ! Very busy peoples ......

but .... can I see ONE evidence that the product is real ?

The store says 125 BJ on stock. Why it's difficult for you take a photo of this 125 pieces on stock ?

Without an evidence my opinion is that this is a SCAM.

hey, hey, that's a pre-order!  must be a scam!

actually, that ATM is going to be a real hit.  i used to think they were an anachronism but now i think they have a chance to blow the doors off this thing called Bitcoin.

Being able to buy bitcoin for cash would be pretty useful, given how much of a PITA it can be to deal with banking b.s.

How confident of shipping to customers are you if you have not taped out yet.

Very confident.

We are currently conducting a mock tapeout, and have already sent our GDS-II to the fab.

We are very very close to final tapeout.

-John

What does that mean? I thought "tapeout" just meant sending files to the fab. What actually happens in a "mock tapeout"? Do they just check for problems or something?

I don't doubt that you'll get your chip on time... I'm just curious about what the actual process entails.

Im not an engineer, and Simon might have to weight in here, but during a 'mock tapeout', we send files over to the fab, and they run some verifications against them.

Alright, you got me you cybersleuths. It was a yeti.
That fits.  Northern CA is bigfoot country.  And I hope it wasn't a baby's handprint.  I had a girlfriend one time who worked for Smithsonian.  She wouldn't walk barefoot on a carpet; claimed the fire retardants in commercial carpeting were carcinogenic.  Anthropologist, trained at Berkeley.

Okay, I'm done with levity and thread hijacking.  Back to business, everybody.

Whats the hand print on the carpet
I'm not sure that's a human hand print.  Looks almost like racoon.  Given it's in CA, and the relaxation of the Service Animal definitions, maybe it's from somebody's Service Racoon.

Seriously, it looks like a baby's handprint, crawling on the carpet.  Open employee culture.

Putting on a fresh pot of coffee,  Simon's on his way Smiley

"It's -on-"? What is on? The thread-starter frenzy?

Does the HashFast crew really has to start 5 new threads per day?

I cant decide which i like less a company like terrahash that does not talk to their customers or all these new companies with multiple threads saying "Order from us".

The community will only fall for so many pre-orders.  At this point..... i think if a company does not have product or chips to sell they are better off waiting and selling at higher price once they truly have something.

I should have gone for a degree in CAD.... it seems that if you draw it and looks good they will come.  Insert cad rendering "HASHFASTER 4.0" who wants to pre-order?  We can render it when someone "goes to get coffee"!
