Guys, I asked about the upgrade kits and MPP and was told there were no MPP or upgrade kits ever offered in batch one. So apparently just because your BJ system was batch one, doesn't mean additional boards would be in the same batch.

I am NOT "shooting the messenger" (nor am I in Batch 1) but what they told you seems to directly contradict what is CURRENTLY posted on the Hashfast website MPP page:
"At HashFast, we understand that healthy, prosperous customers make for a healthy and prosperous company. We know that our customers are concerned about the rapid growth of the network hashrate and we stand by our customers. We designed our silicon so efficiently per square mm, that we are able offer you this protection. If the Bitcoin network hashrate increases so that your Baby Jet doesnt generate more Bitcoins in ninety days than you paid for it, HashFast will give you additional ASICs. In fact, we will give you up to 400% more hashing capacity than the Baby Jet you purchased. Yes, that does mean that if you dont make your money back in 90 days, we will increase your mining capacity to up to 2 Terahashes!
The Miner Protection Program was given retroactively to ALL purchases of Batch 1 Baby Jets. For second and third batch machines, the Miner Protection Program was offered as an add-on, that customers could purchase for an additional fee. Currently the Miner Protection Program is not available for purchase."
So, while they may not have been "offered" at the time of purchase,
ALL Batch 1 orders should be covered by the MPP since they were
"GIVEN RETROACTIVELY."Or am I misunderstanding something?
Correct, that was the promise. This is the original statement from Oct 6:
Miner Protection Program
We want our customers to succeed.

The Miner Protection Program applies to all customers of Baby Jets purchased from Batch 1 of our production. For the second batch, the Miner Protection Program will be sold separately.
HF should give a clarification on if/when MPP will ship. This is overdue. Doing ROI caculations without taking shipping time into account is nonsensical so it was somewhat implied that MPP would ship directly after the 90 MPP window closed. This has not happened.
As much as i would have liked to say that they would have shipped right away from hashfast past record we all knew that wasnt going to happen. Tho I really dont see what is causing the delays. I mean the MPP is simple more modules. My assumtion is that they used MPP for batch 2 while the old batch 2 will become our MPP.
