I have received confirmation from Verisilicon directly that they are indeed working on a chip for Blackarrow and are a few days away from tape out. I can post a screenshot later.

THIS ^^^
is some information.  Awaiting the screenshot.

Thanks for doing this, nice to have some confirmation outside of me

Finally something substantial.

Hard to sift through all the noise in this thread.

What are the facts currently, does he have a facility with miners hashing away?
Has he ripped off anyone for BTC or USD at this point?

It might be all fun to point out a variety of posts made in the past and forgotten and not updated or revised but really where is there any evidence from his customers that he is ripping them off?

Again what does this have to do with Black Arrow miners? Way off topic is it?

Matt Carson is their number one reseller vetted by Black Arrow. If I vetted Pirateat40 and stuck with him till the end, what kinda light would be shown on me?

BTW, you never thanked me when I stood behind you during that exchange between you and Josh, but you're welcome nonetheless.

At this time to be fair there is no evidence of foul play by black arrow. Matt can be vetted by BA - there is nothing wrong with that.
However, by whom BA is vetted?
I find strange that he is does not provide his name and lastname. Almost all asic manufacture has such info.

It seems like this is just an engineering setback which was a risk that we took with pre-orders.  If it was a straight up scam, then these people would be gone now with our money.  The only "scam" I could see right now would be minersource keeping the hardware for themselves when it comes in and I don't think that is going to happen (besides PG will be all over them! LOL).  

I am frustrated with minersource's lack of communication though.  I emailed about my 3 x-1's in their old order database (batch 1) about a week ago and still no response.

^^^always one of the initial reactions during the long con^^^

Also, it seems that everyone has to pay electricity costs for the last 2 months of the (not so) free hosting.

How they plan on enforcing this, idk..

I just clarified this- I was incorrect. The entire 6 months will be covered for all customers. I will be updating all my info shortly.

everyday i come home from work and read up on this interesting thread .. while waiting for BA's preorder to be fulfilled.  

Just thought of a new concept (no relation to any specific cases):
1) borrow money to make lots of chips and boards
2) once completed, start mining and announce 'preorder'
3) collected preorder money to repay loan, may or may not complete repayment
4) continue to mine while release news of delay
5) finally delivers, sell part of the mined coins to cover remaining loan, if any.

Except the whole part where the chip fab confirmed the chip has not even taped out yet.

Sorry, I left something unredacted in the last post. Here it is again:

(20nm hypothesis was wrong, so what's the "surprise"? hmmm)

Thank you for something substantive regarding the actual topic of this thread.

[ChuckBuck]

Good work Goozman!

It's not 20nm, but so what.  At least we know tapeout is on or around February 20th, like BA said it'd be.

[alfabitcoin]

Goozman, what is employee from verisilicon gave you that confirmation.

Look here

I surrender. I, too, want to buy Black Arrow miners through Matt Carson.

[alfabitcoin]

Yes, zheng xu does exist as sale maneger however you got emsil from compromised email. Although it was compromised 2 years ago confirmation should come from verified verisilicon employee. I hope that ba has indeed versilicon as chip manufactureso please do not get me wrong. We all just want to have some viable information and to be sure.
Frankly, i wold be surprised of such confiration due nda, but i might be wrong.

[quantguy]

wow, this is so much fun.

seems this Robert guy doesn't have a lot of friends http://cn.linkedin.com/pub/kuang-robert/58/b50/54

Zheng.Xu isn't on that list, so hopefully he can confirm..

I was under the assumption that Zheng is you, hence to Zheng, me.

And why all the effort to block out Kuang, but leave one?
