Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $0.49/GH/s

[sticky]

I have the same problem. I sent an email to your support address three days ago but haven't seen a reply as yet.

dont hold your breath, ive been asking the same question for 2 months with no reply. i understand that minersource and black arrow are busy, but the customer support is not the best.

Hey bobsag3

I noticed just now that you migrated your shop. My old login doesn't work for https://www.minersource.net/account. I created a new one with the same E-Mail now.

Only when I click on the link from the confirmation E-Mail can I log in (https://store-6uhgey79.mybigcommerce.com/orderstatus.php)

I don't have to be worried that my order is not visible on the new system, right?

Order No. is #589

thanks man!

Its right on the bottom of the new site - we have not migrated the database yet and you can click the link to see the old sites orders.

  Thanks. From my perspective I just needed reassurance that my order (and payment) hadn't gone missing or been entered on a phishing site.

I never initially created an account, but have now (after my order was placed), is there any chance my order could be made viewable in the 'My Account' section, i placed the order on the new site / system.

Hello,

Do you have them on order directly from BA?

How would we handle the transfer?

Thanks
Andrew

[demiurgu]

Yes they are ordered from BA.
I would like to keep this on private messages. Don't want to spam this thread .

+1 to that.

"End of February" has been consistently quoted and since that is less than six weeks away an update on progress would be very much appreciated by all of us.

It's back now.

yep and they're still not answering questions on status.  simple enough to answer whether or not they've gone to tapeout.  similar questions posted to their social media pages are being pulled down.

this is not looking promising in terms of an on-time delivery, or a minor delay, for that matter.  They've got nothing to show with one month until delivery but a heatsink and some CAD drawings of the cases - and won't answer questions.   If there is more, snap a few pictures, for crying out loud, instead of giving BS answers like this one from their forum, posted by staff today in a thread asking for an update:


"Updates will be posted when they are available, i can understand your points however, but i prefer well working product instead of couple of shiny pictures myself. I can make you a picture of thousands different parts in 3d, will it make you more happy?"


Simply put, that's crap.  customers are asking for updates, and rightfully so at this point, as this is looking very bad at this point in the timeline. 

an honest update for those people that have in good faith sent thousands of dollars is not too much to ask.  if you're going to be late, fine, but it's time to level with your customers, BA.

don't get your panties in a bunch, i would rather have them work on the product`s then waste time posting pics / answer every question 100 times over.

Reading through the news posts on their websites, it sounds like they had to completely redesign the asic to go from 64 cores to 99 cores, and adjust the closck frequencies accordingly.  Their delivery deadlines for batch 1 seem to be late april early may.

Frankly, that's all the information I need right now.  the rest is just noise until they have something they're comfortable sharing.

The people that post the pic's and answer question are NOT the the ones who work on the Minion or anything else,they are there to answer questions from customers,that's there job! It only takes a few minuets at the end of a day or work week to pass on a bit of info to these people,yes we taped out,no we haven"t,we need to do this or that first....it's hardly going to slow anything down..

Where do you see that batch1 delivery has changed? Apr/May is for batch 2. "This is a PRE-ORDER (Batch 2), available for dispatch at end of April 2014"
 Yes they added more cores but where does it say they had to do a "complete redesign"?

If any one is interested in purchasing an X-3 fully Paid for in Dec, Batch1 Part1 (verified by Bobsag3, called him myself) please PM me.

Thanks for your condescending input.  Asking for clarification is not getting one's panties in a bunch.  I and others have asked nicely for weeks on their forums and social media sites for clarification and gotten nothing but equivocations and assertions that everything is on schedule, all the while showing no actual proof of progress, unless you consider a CAD rendering proof of progress, in which case I've got a bridge to sell you. 

At a certain point patience runs thin, and we're there.   We're ~30 days from scheduled delivery and, last time I checked the hashing rate of a heatsink was 0.

They can answer a simple question and snap a couple of pictures related to where they're at in production without slowing down development.  Any sane person would think that a simple, honest, update at this point would not be too much to ask.

Seconded. Surely taking two minutes to post an update wouldn't kill them? These people are all reading from the same tired, bad script it seems.

You have a duty to keep your customers informed (good news or bad news). That is assuming you understand ethics...

So Black Arrow Software, do you have any?

[jimmothy]

If anyone is getting cold feet, I will be buying X-1 orders at 325 dollars a piece.

Lol..
