It's true that this is a PR text, but there is an important fact in it:
God to know this step turned out better than expected.

One more important new fact: TSMC.


Nobody has a better chance of meeting or exceeding the "simulated mumbo-jumbo" than TSMC.

HashFast just dropped the hammer on their competition.  It doesn't get any better than TSMC, the 500lb gorilla of the chip biz!   

So, I think where I'm looking for more clarity is:


1) Cost of the board/rig required to run additional chips if the MPP gets executed. Do we have a parts manifest for this yet, or a price to outright buy a pre-assembled rig from Hashfast?

2) If anyone from Batch-1 gets additional chips from the MPP, everyone should. Otherwise, there can be situations in which people who are ahead in the shipment queue actually do worse. For example, let's say that the 1st BabyJet from batch-1 goes out on October 25th and has made a slight profit by Jan 23rd; under the current MPP verbiage as I read it, that means no new chips for Owner #1. Let's further say that the 500th BabyJet from batch-1 goes out November 25th, but has just barely not covered costs by Feb 22nd. In this case, the owner of the 500th gets new chips for free, but the owner of the 1st still doesn't. Given the low power consumption of BabyJets, they'll likely be worth running for quite some time, so over that lifetime, the owner of the 500th probably does better. It depends on the exact nature of how the overall network hash-rate curve develops, of course, but it seems to me that the fairest thing to do is to execute the MPP across the entire Batch; ie, if anyone from the batch gets more chips, everyone should.


Can we get some clarity/comments on the above?


In any event, HF seems to be doing great work. Tape-out ~10 days ago, plus the TSMC announcement...good stuff.

HashFast has launched sales of it's second production batch. We are now selling our commercial grade unit, the Sierra, which contains 3 Golden Nonce (GN) ASICs, and all Baby Jet and Sierra machines can now be purchased with or without the Miner Protection Program™.

So this means that with the MPP if we receive 3 bare chips we could install one by improving the power supply which is ok. But price for aditional motherboard ?

Any plans of hosting ?

I also think that executing the MPP will be really dificult depending on international shipping delays as in my case and depending on when the diferent units in the batch gets shipped, so you should find a solution to that.

FYI.

I am no longer being paid by Hashfast. That concluded with batch one.
