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

[Pistachio]

I didn't place the original order with Minersource! I ordered before minersource was an affiliate and will receive my orders directly from BA. The only reason I ordered the PSUs from them is they listed them as "in stock" and are based in the US.

What do you say bobsag3? Are you going to ship my PSUs or issue a refund? 

It says right on their site it ships with your order.  "PSU Ships for free if ordered with enough time to be shipped with your current order."

Our first units have been confirmed via Tracking to have left Black Arrow, ETA is Friday/Saturday/Monday depending on the UPS Express timing. Our next shipment is to leave BA Monday/Tuesday, that should comprise of the rest of Batch One, and almost all if not all of Batch 2 and 3. More information to follow.

None of these units have LCDs, I was informed they would be ready after the shipment next week.

I contacted customer support at minersource and received no response. When are you going to ship the compensation PSUs that I paid for over a month ago (May 14th)?

EDIT: Its a order number in the twenties not number two. # is a wildcard. Sorry I though order numbers were kinna sensative info. Screenshot below

  !!!  ... looks like this ordeal is finally coming to an end.
Who knows what tomorrow's update will tell us about X3 though.

[sebdude420]

shipping yet? or two weeks?

[sebdude420]

Only 2.5kg? That doesn't sound like that much for 'mass' shipping.

Yeah, as debit noted. One of many.

The units are probably individually boxed.

Which is good. Open, test, reseal, relabel, reship.

I think its 2 X1 per box, and 2 PSU per box. Also each of those shipments is 5 boxes of 5, time 5 shipments, plus theres more on a separate reference number

So i will need a big shipment also for my order of 35 Units?

Are they going to compensate some more and give 70 units for waiting a few more weeks?

is anyone re-selling the smaller units, Prospero X-1?

I am interested in 1 ~ 2 units but the shop only sells in batches of 10

You're actually wanting to buy from this company?! Are you high?

Can you show a screenshot with private details blanked out?  I don't believe anything anymore..

Also can you please share what the payment method was you used?

Thanks

This is like a weekly sit-com that drags you along to next weeks show via some awe inspiring cliffhanger without actually ever delivering. e.g. Cobra Commander gets away in every fucking episode of G.I. Joe. Doesn't that just piss you off just as much as never getting to see one of the Commander's plans come to fruition? This fucking cartoon never delivered!

Yeah but luckily if you ordered from Minersource you are getting some closure (it maybe missing some pieces but it hashes).

So... you're saying bobsag3 is Serpentor?

1. The X-3 issue has been found and fixed.
 
2. We have finalized 2 versions of the backplane which we will send to the factory tomorrow. Once the backplane is ready we can start shipping. We estimate that to be around the end of next week pending factory's schedule.
 
3. We have finished the test batch of the X-1 which is currently shipping.
 
4. All X1 and X3 boards are now into the SMT factory.
 
5. We are going to review the compensation after we have shipped all orders.
 
6. Rent-A-Minion will start in the same time of the shipment.
 
7. LCD samples have finally arrived, the software team is updating the driver.

So two more weeks before the X3 might start shipping.  Got it...

CrossPost from the BFL BA Forums:

"Well, we have now moved from, "the compensation will be reviewed once mass shipment has started" to, "compensation will be reviewed once we have shipped all orders."
 
 
"If anyone thinks that after they accept their orders that BA will send them anything else, they are delusional.  And let's just assume for a second that they do send out extra units, we have no timeline as to when they will send them out, they could say that once more chips get in, we will send out the compensation units, which could take weeks and the comp units will be just as worth less as the originals!
 
Also, the damn surprise, which was supposed to be released once mass shipment has begun still needs to be released."

+1000

 the terms of the compensation are changed !!!!! BA what are you doing ? really not serious

LOL I TOLD THIS ALONG TIME AGO..THEY GANNA TRY THIS,SHIP SOME SHIT OF PRODUCT AND GIVE US COMPENSATION "LATER"..OMG,THIS GUYS ARE IDIOTS..EVEN IF THEY SHIP IT,WE WOULD NEED TO PAY EXTRA TAXES AND OUR MINERS WILL NOT EARN EVEN FOR PAYINH THOSE TAX...BA = BUNCH of ASHOLES!!!

[fivejonnyfive]

With the caveat that the 5 month delay is quite bad, and the sincere hope of at BARE MINIMUM 1:1 compensation...

At least there is finally clear evidence of mass production!

[me2014]

i cant still believe..they will review compensation after they ship all orders..looooooooool..shity product are coming and we waited for full payed units for 7 months,you can imagine what will happen with compensate unist...OMG...!!I felt better when I was thinking ok,this is late but ONE DAY when they ship we will get it in one packing and we COULD START HOPING FOR ROI..and now "We are going to review the compensation after we have shipped all orders"..i dont know should I cry or laugh!!!

[nosferatujeff]

The compensation announcement is disappointing.

This looks like a legal move, in which they attempt to have customers "accept" the original purchase without their amendments. This, to safeguard against later claims.
