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.
People who'd never worked together before were supposed to be a leading chip and HW manufacturing company within a few very short months? Due whatwhat? If it offends anyone else that I point this out, then so be it.
Why don't you use that cudgel to bash everyone who ordered from HF/Cointerra/KNC, etc?
'Cause I'm not you? You're the one who attacks anyone who complain about being f@cked over by Hashfast, so it's a bit backwards to call me out on it. I think their handling was fraudulent, even if there were other obvious reasons why they were a weak proposition. People are right to complain. But you were part of the fraud, so I don't have much sympathy for your loss.
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?
You're not just an innocent little victim.

No, but you have to look at the numbers. The problem isn't the lack of p2pool options or lack of good pool alternatives. The problem is that the people who owns the hardware has no interest in using those.
