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

[Biomech]

There is no reason to make it personal. The issue is when/if BlackArrow is going to deliver, and if not, what they're gonna do about it. Frankly, the level and quality of their communication is harming them, but flaming each other is not going to resolve anything.

well said. damn i've been waiting on this lot delivering, so that I can put my order in - i'm a fearty where it comes to pre-orders. 

I hear you. I'm getting more hashpower when I get my tax refund. But I ain't tying it up for an indefinite period of time. This basically means Bitmain, used, or possibly LightningAsic as it stands. Used is going for more than new right now, because of this preorder bullshit.

I really wanted it to be AMT, for personal reasons, but it's not looking good. I'll probably get two ants.

I forgot about ASICminer. They've always been overpriced from my perspective, but they have delivered on time, for the most part, and what they said they would. Friedcat may be greedy, but he's got honor. I honestly haven't paid attention to their latest stuff. That's a mistake I intend to rectify

Is this site legit? 

$5500 including shipping for a 300 GH/s miner seems like a major ripoff.

You can get 2 Antminers at 400 GH/s at $1600.

With price of btc falling and bitmain now in stock (https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140107162747992Ce5uBuxW06D6), why not?

Normally I'd agree with you, but the advertisement on your signature is really distracting.

Cringeworthy, even.

What date and time can we expect the special update regarding tapeout? Its been 31 hours since the original announcement, so does that mean less than 5 hours, Verisilicon will be done?

Blackarrow, give some bloody good news regarding tapeout!

[Vexatious]

As an update to my customers, we will be importing the old database in over the next 72hrs, please expect an email when it has been done.

It's been 12 days since you posted this. 12 days = 288 hours If you understand maths, you'll see the problem here.

Did Colorado get sucked into some temporal vortex and I somehow missed that on the news? Unless that is what a polar vortex is. Hmmm....  

I also sent an e-mail today. Again. Refund please! And don't give me that database bullshit again. Just get an old-fashioned pen and paper and write down my order information from your "old" database, then enter it into the "new" database, then send me my refund.

Better yet, just send me the damn refund, then you don't have to "port" my information into the "new" database at all. Simple!

Or is the problem that you don't have 0.344 bitcoins? That's a measly $190 today, when I paid it was over $300. So I'm even offering you a chance to refund me less than I paid in dollar terms! And you still can't bring yourself to just do it so I will STFU?  

Disgusting.

I don't even think I'll laugh when I hear the next excuse. And there will be one.

I had a few shares of R17 in the DZ mining co-op. .45 BTC. I asked Matt for a refund at had it in 3 days. Although they provide terrible customer service, I believe he's legit. I've transferred orders and gotten refunds from Matt. He's not scamming anyone.

[TooDumbForBitcoin]

The two happiest groups that Phin is here having diarrhea all over the thread:

1.  The BA responsible parties - "How can we communicate effectively when the thread is flooded with noise and we have to spend all our time sanitizing the thread?"

2.  Jimmothy and the cheerleaders - "Everything would have worked out fine if it hadn't been for PG and his trolling.  He ruined everything.  It's his fault no one ROIed."

Looks to me like if Black Arrow is still planning on attending the Bitcoin conference in Austin, somebody else other than Matt Carson will be manning the booth, for I've already shown once how this scumbag can't be trusted.

Remember my post (now deleted, but saved) where I shown that Black Arrow's apology letter was copied and pasted from other sources? Well, are you ready to see C&P again, this time on Matt Carson's Cryptmint site?

Dude, because you said, "He's not scamming anyone." I just countered your assessment.

Matt Carson is Black Arrow's #1 reseller. I've shown where he lied about moving/not moving his warehouse. I've now shown where he gleaned text for his website. He's also the person that has access to all the tickets submitted to Black Arrow, possibly gleaning vital information that's probably not meant for his hookah smoked-filled eyes.

If this were any other motherfuckin' company, you, in your right fuckin' mind, wouldn't be conducting business with any of them fucks. But, since you probably have some vested interested in the whole ordeal, you opt to stick it up my ass. Well, dude, I'm sticking back, and I'm not backing down.

~Bruno Kucinskas

PS: I suggest that anybody who has miners hosted at Matt's warehouse in Colorado best get them moved outta there within the next 48 hours, otherwise they may be tied up in some evidence cage for quite a while. I'm just saying.

At no point has anything been stuck anywhere. No homo here, bro.

And I get what you're saying with all the moving bullshit, and I admitted that the customer service is shit. My point is that I and many others have had good communication with Matt and received refunds, that's all. I'm not proclaiming the dude a saint, but until he proff positive disa-fuckin-ppears with all of his customer's money and BTC, you should lay off a little bit and give him a chance to deliver. If he he does not deliver, I'll be here bitchin' too, although I've already got my money back.

Deep breath. Chill.
