It's crazy how different we see things....   Wink  Interesting to hear though.
To be honest, I haven't been following Hashfast and when they promised to deliver. But seeing the 500GH/s per chip news seems like a massive leap forward.

Toying with the number - they are saying they expect to get more than 500GH/s from these chips as they refine things. So let's say 576GH/s, as it's a number we are all familiar with in this thread. Jupiter per chip.

So you buy 2 Sierra's, 6 chips, that's about 3.5TH. They claim "Orders placed today are guaranteed to ship by March 31, 2014", which I would consider is possible since they now have working chips and ample time to refine. It'll be solid tech, not another round of prototype's like the neptune will be.

At $6,300x2, that's $12,600 with delivery in Q1. So cheaper and sooner than knc promise neptune.

I'm no fanboi for any company, but doesn't that look the better deal to you phoenix? Obviously you got a massive discount, but for those who are paying the full neptune $13k, it's a good deal no?
I had considered that, and decided the 3th/s was a minimum number, and compared that to the original Jupiter specs... which ended up nearly double. Then I also considered who has delivered, and who has not. If I had to narrow my choice to a single word explanation, it would be "Experience".  To me, actions speak 100 times louder than words... and so far...words are all we have from HF & CT. Wasn't a hard decision to stay with a proven Company for me. Especially one who treated me so well.
