I didn't pre-order from HashFast. In fact, every ASIC I ever ordered has been delivered (It's called "due diligence", you might want to look it up). Most of them from Bitmain. Which makes it a bit strange to see someone like you make a big stink about a shitty little feature which isn't relevant anyway. It's kind of like bicyclists who think they're saving the world by sweating their way to work.

Gmaxwells claims are completely disconnected from reality. The overwhelming majority of antpools hashing power comes from their own farms, and none of the people who understand what p2pool is genuinely thinks that's what antpool is offering. The fact that Gregory tries to use this, in some weird way, to nullify the HK agreement is beyond stupid. The fact that his lapdog iCEBREAKER is given the task of causing a stink in Bitmain related threads just goes to show that he's completely lost.

I saw him whining to Peter Todd about "misinformation" and "poor communication". If he stopped hanging in the Classic #REKT thread, ditched his cry-buddy iCEBREAKER and grew some balls, he could contribute to the conversation and try to make things work with the miners. Maybe even along terms he is comfortable with. Bitcoin isn't a joke any more, it's an industry. And like it or not, he's one of its leaders. As is Jihan. If Gregory is willing to get out of the trenches then it's in Jihans interest to hear what he has to say. But this barrage of immature attacks might become more costly than Maxwell is able to bear soon.

My God, you certainly do like to rant about how much Gmax hurts your delicate feelings. Roll Eyes

We did our DD on HF. You are insulting us to imply DD on HF would have somehow predicted future changes in price/difficulty would ultimately drive them out of business.

Why don't you use that cudgel to bash everyone who ordered from HF/Cointerra/KNC, etc? Why is it just me who isn't allowed to lose a risky bet on a pre-order without some n00b assclown like you stalking/reminding me forever?

Bitcoin's decentralization is not "a shitty little feature which isn't relevant anyway."

P2pool could play a large role in preserving Bitcoin's decentralization.

Bitmain/Antpool used that fact to gain customers, but never followed through.

Their false advertising is not "just bad PR" (your asinine, pedestrian concern) but bad for Bitcoin.
