The incompetent subcontractor for the first board screwed up royally, and the next ones could only do 400+ GH/s until the Yoli and Habanero designs.

And who decided to go with this subcontractor in the first place, without having a backup plan in place? This coming from a company who claimed "in Bitcoin mining, time is everything"

I'm sure he has an answer for it. Wink

Why wouldn't I have "an answer for it?" Is that bitchy little dig supposed to mean something? Cheesy

There was a backup plan in place, otherwise the products would have shipped even later than they already did.

HF put in their best effort. Those best efforts were documented and that documentation was accepted by the court as the basis for avoiding Chapter 7 via Chapter 11.

All a company can (reasonably) be expected to do is their best effort. HF went above and beyond that mandate, sleeping under desks and whatnot.

You don't get to demand success; that's not a reasonable standard. Failure happens often in new ventures, despite the best efforts of the employees and management.

You don't get a guarantee of success; new ventures are risky.

HF gave it the old college try, but it wasn't good enough to appease those eager to force their issues into court and enrich bankruptcy lawyers with our money.

We are all disappointed, but only some of us choose to Go Ugly and make defamatory personal accusations of scamming/incompetence (despite an utter lack of evidence and rulings to the contrary).
