I'm at a BTC meetup in Sunnyvale, where the Hashfast VP of Engineering is giving a talk right now.
This is admittedly rather time-sensitive, but if anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to ask 'em!
Ask if they're still on schedule for shipping next week.
Not surprisingly, this was indeed one of the questions that came up last night.
And, as of a few days ago, ... ... it looks like we're probably going to slip, by about a week.
Ironically, not because of the silicon, even though that is the part of the system that takes the longest to manufacture. That's going through the foundry smoothly. But we ran into a delay sourcing one of our other components.
...
It's the 17th, your projected date for getting the chips from TSMC? Am i misremembering?
Trolls are funny.
This is what, the eighth time you've posted this hour? The eighth time in one hour you repeat what you hope is an embarrassing question?
The process at the foundry is going well. Someone posted an optimistic date, one I personally did not approve of nor condone. (Sorry, cypherdoc.)
And I cannot give any other dates for the foundry. I can tell you when they pop out of the oven, nothing sooner.
But honestly the foundry is not important, because that is not what will ultimately delay us. That delayed component is what is pushing our date out. Funny that you harp on the foundry when you could be harping on delayed shipping instead.
I do wonder - what else is going on today, that these repeated 'embarrassing' posts are supposed to distract us from?

P.S. If people DO have other questions about HashFast, please feel free to send them my way.
