Sorry for your loss. What other miners do you own or have on pre-order?

Fortunately none other than my x1.

I couldn't even bring myself to preorder the s3 because as with every competent company, bitmain will have no problem selling from stock if their hardware is solid.

Hope any straggler MS customers opts for refund or Gift card comp.  Minersource is the only decent thing to come out of this Black Arrow debacle.  They've treated me well and been very responsive.  Total opposite from those BA ass rapists...

The thing is I really doubt minersource has enough funds to refund everyone. I'm a fan of MS as well which is partially why I held off on requesting a refund for so long.

The other reason was because I thought BA would give us reasonable compensation like tripling each order or exchange miners for 10 x amount of chips.

With a little salt and pepper, word is, they taste delicious!

Well depends, if you have the funds, I think it might be worthwhile.

If you buy 25 boards, a discount of 5% applies = 195 euro each board

Thanks Marto, do you know why BA is stalling? 

Why would the designer of the chips not be able to get them running?  They MUST have had their customer hosting datacenter packed to the brim with gear for months and self-mining the crap out of it while telling us lie after lie?

Ofcourse they have been. Just because the miner isn't presentable for a customer doesn't mean it isn't good enough to sit on a shelf and hash away while they figure out the rest of it. They had working hashing boards a couple months ago.

Do you think they would let all the Raspberry Pi's go to waste? They were originally going to ship them to their customers in a cobbled X1 but then had a miraculous breakthrough with their controller. I don't see any Pi's available to buy on their page. And for a company hurting as much as BA I don't see them not liquidating anything that's not of use to them anymore.

actually, I'm glad you have.  I am wondering if you have stock to handle a crush of customers asking for 25 stuffed boards each and if you will offer a price break at 100 minions.

so, what is the lead and what is the cost for people that may want to decide to convert their X-3 orders to 100 minion chips and convert them to working boards

please be conservative on the lead/capacity issue. 
Our assembly service is2 weeks after the chips got here.
WE have enough PCB's coming in end of this week

Not to discourage anyone... but in addition to getting the boards populated with the chips you need cooling (do the boards from Technobit include the fans?), a box for mounting, power supplies, connectors/cables. Some sort of front end that can communicate with all the boards, hosting... who is going to provide all that and more importantly at what cost?

So who has chips in hand they are willing to sell?  Anyone besides BA directly I would consider buying their chips.  Chips must be in hand.

We will have 400 chips on Thursday in hand.

Hey Flappy, are you the UK reseller?

Yes  Smiley

Dear FlappySocks, if you are the UK reseller, could you please send an update email to your customers like when you went to China to see BA?
When do you expect the orders to be delivered? What options do we have? Do we get 3TH's as promised by BA? Chips instead of miners? Power Supply included with compensation unit? Are you able to offer refunds like MS is doing?
That would be nice.

Do you know what your price point will be?

There seems to be a lot misinformation about these, has someone compiled a list of what is exactly needed for these to get up an running?

Also, will I be contacted for my hosting or do I need to email you guys?

Same price as BA's site at time of order.
Technobit has it listed on his site what you need for each miner.

After running some numbers, I am willing to pay $25 per chip.  If you have chips on the way or in hand and are interested in getting out of the game, please let me know.  Will buy in packs of 8.  Due to the length it may take to get these onto boards and actually hashing, that is the best price I can give at this time.

I think most everyone would be willing to pay 25 bucks per chip. After assembly that's somewhere south of $1 per GH/S.

8 chips for a 4 chip board. = $200
and 150 bucks for coolers and PSU and controller.

$350 for 400-480 GH/S.

Not a bad deal.

I must admit that you make weird choices. You choose to do a full pre-order with BA, but you didn't pre-order from bitmain who has much better reputation than BA who is stalling since February.
