Not bad, though I'm a bit disappointed by the CEO bubble. Provided his posture, left hand position, and smile, I was expecting something more sexy.

Are you suggesting they're testing the chips right now?

have my device at home. traced KnC 10+ days delivery delay in Nov and until now customers received their devices. this upcoming Diff jump is based on KnC.

It was not a sign of mistrust, but of convenience for a supporting link. I am not following KnC closely.

hey, this 570 devices with 400 GH/s are just 228 TH/s. this is nothing compared to KnC.

my guess is they have serious issues because the CEO is a marketing guy. all good news would go instantly public.

I'd postulate that the advertised number of devices is always smaller than the real order by at least 4 fold. That combined with a good yield may allow them to possess about a petahash by now.

But I agree with the assessment that dropping silent after announcing a mockup(?) doesn't create a credible story for Hashfast being the ones who are responsible for the hashing power increase.

I can't believe the nonsense about the refunds in BTC I've read in this thread. It's been clarified by official statement several times by HF, I don't have a nerves to search two HF threads, but it's there somewhere:
All refunds will be in the currency payed by customer. If you paid in US$, they would refund the exact same amount in US$. If you paid in BTC, refund will be in BTC, but all the payments are calculated to be in the US$ on the day of the payment. That's important: day of the payment. Go check the BTC/US$ historic value on the day you paid, divide BTC paid with it, and expect BTC value of that US$ amount on the day of the refund. Hashfast never considered refunding BTC payments in US$, but they've made it clear that accounting value is in the US$ currency. I'm burned also by this policy, but consider these facts before you officially request a refund not to be burned with the consequences when you receive the fraction of the BTC paid as full refund. You can always prepare yourself for a legal action against HF if you don't like this, but this have been confirmed and other claims are just wishful thinking.

Why are you talking about refunds? HF still has 22 full days until every single batch one customer gets what he paid for.
That's plenty of time.

I'm talking about this because enormous amount of posts on this thread are spreading wishful thinking and misinformation in vain hope that many times repeated nonsense will somehow become a fact. Like the people having a need for somebody to hold their hand and tell them everything is gonna be OK. Well it will not. Whoever got in this HF mess (including myself) will gonna get financially hurt whichever of the many outcomes come to the light of day, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

There's a real need for everyone to inform himself on facts and of possible outcomes, and prepare for the decision weather to request a refund or not. The HF is obviously in disarray, KnC made working miner on the very day they've laid their hands on chips. HF obviously can't get their act together, and 22 days look to me as just not enough time to do everything right from this moment on.
