It seems HashFast is getting close to shipping. At least they have a working unit.. that's more than Cointerra/VMC/Black Arrow/etc. can say.

I take this as good news.

Sure, they are late... let's be honest, who here didn't expect them to be late? With such an ambitious timeline I figured they would slip on it.

At least Batch 1 purchases are covered by the miner protection plan thingy... I'm not really worried about it. I'm more worried about my VMC order.

Close to shipping what? They are in development, that's not close to anything. A mpp with completely unknown variables, a 500gh machine shipping a month after knc rocked the world with jupiters pushing 700?

Why did you order from vmc? They even said it was virtual. None of that looked possible. Black arrow has shipped before, and has a good priced unit a few months away, I think they are most likely to succeed next.

MY Jupiter only runs at 290 Gh. KNC did not rock my world... Mileage may vary.

If they have a hashing unit, they are likely closer to shipping than any of the companies I mentioned (which have not shown a working unit.)

Black Arrow made FPGAs base on ngzhang's design... they didn't design anything for that product, they simply had it assembled. Making an ASIC is a completely different animal.

I just hate how this is the first good news we've heard out of Hash Fast in a while and everyone is still being so negative.
