Making everyone sign an NDA is pretty stupid. I requested to go to the open house and was told: 'no' we're full. Not a huge fan of these guys right now. We know that they had an open house. However, we have no clue what was discussed. So, what was the point of it?

It's kind of annoying.

On the other hand, their main public competition right now is Cointerra, it's probably something of a game of chicken with them, they don't want to put out specs before Cointerra does if it means Cointerra can try to one up them.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned the hashrate is going to be going up way to quickly to bother buying any more hashpower at this point in time. We'll have to see where things are in December, and what the prices are.

I'm a little worried people aren't really doing their research or thinking clearly are going to order a ton of product they'll never ROI off of, and at the same time destroy profitability for everyone else as well.

I'd say as much as companies want to be open, now there is competition which hopefully leads to better value for equipment for us over the long term. All that matters for us though are the returns to be made, how soon we can get started, the protection of the network and the integrity of those involved...

You are correct about HashFast but I also spent my hard earned money with KNC and was one of their first 500 so I have interest in what their status is.

Also with NDAs I do not take them lightly working in the industry I'm in, in fact we have many on place at our company about the next ten console and you won't hear me breaking any NDA I sign.

Trust me if one of the next gen console people found who actually leaked info their are consequences

No of course, but it would have to be something only few are privy to and even then it could be hard to prove without strong evidence. I'm not trying to encourage anyone to do so, I just as a company would never assume what was kept with in an NDA would never be gossiped about, and as a signatory would like to think integrity counts for something.
