HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s

[tacotime]

There was a typo in the Sierra size as suspected; e-mail as of a couple of minutes ago says: 17” x 16” x 7”

This has been corrected in the previous post

Thanks.   I am assuming 7" H X 17" W X 16" D.

Yeah, that's my guess too, but I can ask again if you and DnT wanna confirm

[DeathAndTaxes]

Yeah, those numbers don't make sense now that I look at the rack specs.  20.5” (482 mm) is the width of a normal server rack, which is given for the BJ.  None of the other numbers conform to a normal #U size.  I'll pass another e-mail over.

Well the dimension between rack posts is ~17.5" (technically a little wider but there isn't suppose to be a metal to metal fit between chassis wall and the rack post). Chassis widths (excluding ears or slides) are usually ~17.25" +/- 0.25".  The 19" is the nominal dimensions and is larger than the space between posts.

Still the numbers do appear to be complete nonsense.  The width would need to be ~ 17" excluding rackmount ears to fit between the rack posts.   The height would be in increments of 1.75" minus 1/8" for clearance 6.875" for 4U).

In your clarification ask them to provide the H, W, D with each dimension.

They just got back to me... Do you want to ask again to specify which dimension is which?

No it was more a sanity check like hopefully someone would think before saying H:12".

This makes sense.

Thanks.   I am assuming 7" H X 17" W X 16" D.

Cool, I'm gonna go drink a beer and not think about this toooo much until I hear back about the refund situation.  Between a full time job, volunteering, and coming here, this has spanned an 11 hour day and I'm a little tired.

Understood, take care buddy.

Thanks for giving us some insight into the inner workings of Hash Fast. I hope they are able to sort through whatever their current problems may be and get their hardware shipped soon for everyone's sake. Every time I look at the expected ROI from all the ASIC hardware I bought personally and through group buys, a cute little kitten is murdered inside my heart.

[tacotime]

^^ Thanks.

Haven't heard back about the refunds. :/

I'll check tomorrow morning before I head into work.

Night guys.

So why they're making you the announcer/go to guy now tacotime?

They used to post here like daily and now they basically all disappeared. All of em.

Shitty situation. Updates needed but they're hiding behind a guy - whom they take ages to email back to.

[DPoS]

I read through the Perseus whitepaper.  Uniquify is the real deal and if they say chips in October, they mean chips in October.
400GH is huge, but I bet they will probably need to be under clocked to be thermally stable.

Yeah. Up until about the 18th, all the Hashfast people would post here. Now nothing..

Where are my 12 Baby Jets?..

I expressed to them when ordering that I was coming from 1.2 year wait at BFL. They kept telling me they're nothing like BFL, they're on schedule, blah blah. They seem more like BFL every day. With the Hashfast Baby Jet drawing, going silent, posting for ad space but not here, and generally their change of tone. They all seemed like good people on the phone, now they just refer me to the fine print TOS.

That's cool and all but whatever happened to them wanting their customers to succeed?

[User705]

No one wants you to succeed except maybe your mom.  Everyone else wants themselves to succeed first.

[cedivad]

I already said that i can't wait for the update that will never come or will be useless right?

[tacotime]

Still haven't heard back.  I'll check on my breaks at work today.

[cedivad]

Where is the PR where uniquify announced that they where on schedule for having the chips ready at the end of october? I was sure to have read it, but not it disappeared...

"we at uniquify are confident that we will see the chips ready by the end of october... bla bla". Bum, gone.

Predictions for today's announcement?

Batch 1 to start shipping 25th Nov

This, with a maybe added. Pics of everything in the next 10 days.
(because without the pics of everything, they will have no reason not do delay till the 20th of december)

33% = there will be no announcement
33% = starting to ship #1 25th Nov
33% = starting to ship in december
1%  = i dunno

[cedivad]

The annuncment should come for the iceminer asset, so there should at least be an announcement. It will be vague and useless, yes. Then they will "carry on" until december, when they will ship from the 25th to the 31th.

And if they file for bankruptcy we will have the first open source 28nm asic design ever.

Cedivad, can I recommend you watch a film called 'The Secret'.

And i recommend you more wise ways to troll me. Icebreaker should have taught you better. You are such a fail.

Seriously unless you know something we dont, you should take a chill pill.

HF announced a delay, the cause for the delay, a solution for the problem and a new rough ETA thats still a week from here. Whats this panic about?
If you never anticipated these things could be delayed by at least a few weeks, why did you even order? I can understand BFL customers getting upset about waiting over a year and hearing new excuses and delays every other week, but thusfar, this seems a total non issue.

Be honest: are you upset because we are now 5 (!) days beyond their initial shipping window, or because difficulty is 2x higher and growing much faster than you expected when you placed your order?

[cedivad]

I'm upset because of the lack of proofs of:
1) That they where ready to ship at the end of october. The lack of a stupid PCB pic is unexplainable, nevermind the "it's under NDA" excuse.
2) That they had an actual delay and that TMSC really promised them an initial delivery date of the chips of the end of October.

This is leading me to the conclusione that we are being laid to.
This is why i can't accept it.

I always knew that the shipping timeframe would have been critical, but i had faith in HF to keep their promises.
Not only i was wrong about trusting HF, but we are also being laid to and, as if it wasn't enough, ignored.

Let's see what this update will be about.
