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

So you want to pay more tax then you have to on unit that is late and already unlikely to make a profit

[sirsmokesalot]

I finally have the X1 in my Hands.. Maybe BA want to comment on these issues.

- The Value of the Unit was quoted in the packing slip as $100 which is a lie to I presume get around people paying high import duty etc. If the value/cost of the unit is only $100 can I have a refund? Can you please ship your units correctly. As it says on the Slip they are Legal Documents you are lying on. It is not just me as other people have said the $100 is the cost/value of the Items.

- It has some black  sticky tape on the back of it and glue all over some of the buttons and the bit metal plate where I presume the LCD (which is missing) should go looks like it came out of a dump (Pictures Coming when I get home)

- I have not turned it on yet as I question the quality of the inside looking at the outside and the dodgyness they use to ship them.

That is not a lie, that is the current value of the unit. Try to sell it for more than that if ya don't believe me

Thanks black arrow, you are the bomb diggity!

From what I understand order number does not matter it goes by paydate. My order is #1147 and I have not received a unit or email yet. And order #858 in the original system.

I had the black tape and hot glue on several of my units as well. 2 out of 3 are defective....Minersource did some amazing testing on these.

When a deal sounds too good to be true...

[LennonNZ]

Finally got it plugged in and put in pool and it went up to 10Gh/s and restarted. and restarted :-(

The default (as shipped) is running at 1200Hz but its not stable at all so set to 1000HZ and it started again and now running at 60C and about 110 Gh/s

[LennonNZ]

Another Problem. Even when set to use DHCP it it looks like its hardcoded to use 8.8.8.8 as the DNS..

Blackarrow.. please fix to use the DHCP Supplied DNS Server.

Number of Watts and Voltage shows 0 used (on both interfaces)

That's because of the high efficiency of the miners.

Yeah... looks like theres some room for work done on the software.. Maybe they should hire sandor111 - he did an awesome job on LA's software.

Bout 1/3 done with all X1 orders or so. I have another shipment coming this week, I may also be traveling out to SZ to help them get shipped out faster.

I like Your aproach towards customer. Next time I'm ordering  by You.

I received my 2 x-1s today.

I've opened one up and got it running but it doesn't seem to have a steady speed. It's all over the shop from 15Gh/s up to 115Gh/s although it seems to stay above 80Gh/s most of the time.

The graphs that you can access from the web browser have a rosy view of the speeds of the X-1 though. According to the graphs, it's never been below 80Gh/s since I turned it on even though I know that's not true.

In terms of blocks, I have ~45 accepts, 0 rejects, but >210 Disc. whatever that means.

Can any of the people who know what that means explain whether that is normal or not?

Thanks

You are most likely running 1200Mhz - thats unstable. Change it to 1000Mhz and you'll see steady speeds.

[Seven111]

I hadn't made any changes but I had noticed that the Freq was set to 1100, I've turned it to 1000 and it is steadier.

Thanks

Yeah. mine were set to 1200 when i recieved them. Guess they tested them..

[bobsag3]

Can the voltage to the ASIC be changed? Probably not enough volts for 1200MHz.

They can, I am waiting for instructions for how, or Ill tear the software apart and find out myself. I know from a hardware standpoint it all can, and that they intended to add it to software, may just not be added yet.

The value written is correct. For next $100 of what you paid you will/should get another one X-1 as a recompensation (when they make the final decision). The rest of money went for shipping.

From the horse's mouth:

Dear Customers,

We are sorry for the lack of communication lately. We've been mostly in the factories setting up the line and managing that the parts are manufactured and delivered in the right place in time.
We'll write a detail update later if the time permits.

We've added new pictures

Regards!

Seriously, what kind of joke of a company is this that with millions of dollars of customer funds on the line...

What the hell is going on here?

Ha, you think this is bad? This is rainbows and puppy dogs compared the meltdown thats happening with scrypt ASIC maker Alpha Tech.

I mean, I saw a pic of a X3! Its practically like seeing a unicorn. And then this:

No kidding i received two out of the four X-1's I ordered and the first one i plugged in sent a shower of sparks everywhere, so far the 2nd unit hashes anywhere from 9 to 90 Ghz regardless of what the Freq is set to, the errors do seem to drop a bit if it's set to 1000 or below.. Your mileage may vary
