I recieved info from Hashcoins around the 8th that they had filled the 32XX invoice series. (I have an earlier post about this with more detail.)

I have one order in the low 33XX series and one in the 35XX series. I should expect to hear soon, like this coming week, that my first order has shipped, but I have not recieved any notice at this point in time. They suggested that I should expect both orders filled by the end of this month. That would be between 200 and 300 orders, and I'm not optimistic they will complete that many. I hope I'm wrong.

This should give everyone a good idea of where they are at. I will post when I receive notice that my first order has shipped. That will confirm that they are under way filling the 33XX series orders.

I have asked for my money back some time ago now. I have not received any equipment... or money.

What follows here is my own second guesses, but I feel I am most likely pretty close to the mark.

Before I ordered from them I got the impression that they were going to use third party (hashfast) asic's but their controller board was their own internal design. So they were putting the hashfast chip on thieir board and completing the units with case, power supply, and cooling.

That doesn't seem to be the case, though I don't have one to verify. Can anyone who has a unit verify that the board is NOT hashcoins? Here is where I was led astray before ordering. If I had known they were counting entirely on third parties for ALL components and just assembling them for shipment, I would not have ordered from them.

My guess at this point is they are using hashfast board and asic's. There in lies the problem. The hashfast board was developed by a third party and has issues. Let's just call it junk... unavailable junk. It has led to the near demise of hashfast and is likely to swallow hashcoins too if they don't remedy the situation. Hashfast asic's are good, and available, as far as I know. But without a good board, in plentiful supply, they are useless. That is why they can't fill their orders.

So much for guesses. If anyone has any factual information that can verify or refute my guesses, please share.
