These are the most advanced chips and boards revealed to the mining industry, being sold here first!

At 3000$ for 700-800gh the above statment is not true.

This gets better every day. So even though hashfast are due much hardware to forum members, you expect to team up with them and have your own production line..... when will all the hash fast customers get thier orders?

Cognitive is funding a parallel production line of Hashfast Evo boards (http://hashfast.com/shop/sierraevo/) so as to not interrupt the Hashfast order chain.

Basically says hashfast customers are still screwed.

So they are they using investor funds to bail out one of the most failed and least reputable mining companies and are blatantly bullshitting by claiming $4/GH for an incomplete miner is anywhere near competitive.

More bullshit.

Looks like COG is trying to pull a hashfast.

This is a clarification about the law suit.

No, you do not need to be a current stock holder. What you do have to do is have lost a significant amount of wealth due to the fraud or unlawful incompetence of Garr.

If you bought shares a week ago, not what we are looking for sorry. If you held for well over a six months even if you don't hold the stock now, we are looking for you.

Thanks.

I bought over 5% of Cog at it's IPO and held the position as the stock was more and more diluted.  There were a couple times it was worth about $20k (too bad I didn't sell then) and with all the issues I finally gave up and started to liquidate last week at around .05 to .03 BTC per share.  I now have about 65 shares that I couldn't dump because there was no support.

Assuming Garr never liquidated his 10% of all shares I have no idea why he wouldn't have tried to work harder and be more transparent.  My only conclusion is that he was manipulating share price to his gain, personally mining, or engaging in a number of other activities for his personal gain instead looking out for Cognitive's best interests.

Esp if you are the one counting the votes.

I will publicly post hashes and vote counts, so there is no way to fake motions/votes. Do you agree?

No I do not agree. There is no way running away is going to save you from your past actions. All it will do is make it so more people, the newer inverters, can also sue your ass. You should really lawyer up.
Fairly large shareholder who bought in a while ago here.  I'm definitely up for a vote.  This company needs to be taken out of the hands of Garrett.  I've lost plenty of BTC watching this company tank, and if there's a lawsuit I'd like to get in.

I'm also in similar situation. I can give some financial support in case lawsuit route is taken. But although not deserved, would like to give this last credit to Garr and  see what happens in 5 days time.

And to add, trust is lost and I see motion for change of leadership as mandatory. Although it won't be easy to find a replacement, since I don't see many people rushing to take the hot chair...

The hosting for these units was going to be piggybacking on a larger hardware order from hashfast that ineededausername and I coordinated. The 1 megawatt facility hasn't been paid for yet because the hardware hasn't arrived, therefore we are not able to piggyback on this other order's facility and are scrambling for another. It is my fault for not preparing a plan B, and it is Hashfast's fault for not delivering in November when they were supposed to, and instead of saying how much longer it will actually take, followed the BFL model and kept saying "A little longer".

LOL.  Nevermind Goat, you are very likely to be sued by the hosting company that set up 1 MW of facilities for you.  Do you have any idea of how much capital that would have cost?

And if you have such a great relationship with Hashfast why hasn't ineedausername's machines been delivered?

Wow Garrett. Color me impressed. You’re one of the good ones. I downsized my portfolio considerably after the fallout from BTC-TC but I’m really glad I kept a few COGs and am thinking about grabbing a few more having been reminded how awesome are.

Keep up the great work!!


nice first post sock puppet.

Maybe he's just incredibly sarcastic. Great username though.

Either way AM chips are the way to go.

Long term yes but you have to consider board manufacture, testing, housing etc. It may be better not to do that solo but get in with a group to produce en masse.

YoYa,
As far as I can tell we have 8 units hashing at 1.2 TH/s in Montana. 6 units on their way to Montana from Washington. Some or all of these units will be forwarded to the Canada center. Although, I suggest we keep some of the current units in Montana just to spread the risk.

With 14 units hashing between 1.2 and 1.6 TH/s, I expect us to be hashing at between 17 and 22 TH/s by Friday.

--EDIT--
This should have us earning between 1.78 and 2.30 BTC per day at the next predicted difficulty.

Assuming, of course, that everything goes as planned.

Perhaps you should plead with someone who holds enough AsicMiner shares to franchise. Or take out some student loans rather than pool/divert income from shareholders.

I don't think you need to own AM shares to franchise. Just a buttload of cash.

Always verify deals with me through my public key!
Whatever it takes to get this show on the road, Garr. Raising funds may be difficult though.
Just don't lose focus on getting COG's current hardware hashing.

Speaking of, Garr the six units currently enroute are news to me. Had you mentioned this previously?

We might want to give some consideration around this for the sake of good comms and setting expectations. My understanding from your previous comment was that these were sent direct to the datacenter which didn't work out.

Would this mean that these units as yet have been unopened and are untested?

If this is the case, than it would be suggested that you outline the exact nature of the technical issues you have been experiencing in getting the miners you received directly to run smoothly and how this may relate to ensuring a successful implementation in the canadian data center. Technical info has been scant, but it's worth keeping in mind that sharing info and dealing with the pita queries now will save you future pain.

I'm really starting to hate that word.  Grin


Would CoinTerra or BitMAIN be acceptable options?

If you can swing a deal with either, we could be in a decent position. If we had the option, I'd be inclined to go with BitMain myself.

I have good relationships with heads of both producers and will be able to get hardware at competitive rates.

It's definitely in everyone's best interest to let me get the hashpower of Cognitive up however I can, whether it means taking out a loan in the form of hardware from one of these producers, or anything else.

If I could come up with a plan to triple our hashrate out of pocket that would be very fair compensation. I have connections with enough hardware producers to make this happen.



Working with Hash Fast would pretty much guarantee my future actions.
