Curious... why would you go with them over hashfast? Ubiquify seem to be pretty on the ball. Hashfast will most likely be Hash-Deliver-Late, but I believe they will be delivering before Cointerra. HDL also has the MPP for the inevitability of anticipated difficulty growth and late delivery baked in.

In my case:

1) HashFast have provided factory tours to members of this forum.
2) The CEO is a friend of a friend, and thought of highly in the Bay area community.
3) HashFast have been extremely helpful in all correspondence and have thorough and detailed terms of sale; they are what I would consider to be a proper, upstanding business.
4) They have now taped out.
5) They provided limited pre-orders (like BitFury) which encourages one to believe that they have pitched it at a level they can actually deliver.

As for the MPP, I don't think it is a gimmick, but rather an insurance sale. The chips cost almost nothing and once they have the process down the chassis will also be relatively cheap. I believe the MPP will

A big part of it is also instinct. I will be watching these guys carefully (as well as VMC and KNC) in coming weeks and months, and by next year we'll all know which horse should have been backed. Wink
