Title: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware? Post by: animentis on November 26, 2013, 11:05:23 PM Hi - I am new here. I am considering purchasing some asic hardware from BlackArrowSoftware. Has anyone had any experience with them? Overall they seem to be pretty level-headed - but they seem to be a bit overloaded at the moment.
They say they can deliver in late February, but it seems like they are still in the planning stages. Is this a reasonable expectation? Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware? Post by: Gator-hex on November 26, 2013, 11:11:45 PM Not sure if you need to exit newbie status first but...
click "Bitcoin Forum" then type in the search box "Black Arrow" Question has been asked many times. Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware? Post by: The Ghola on November 26, 2013, 11:13:20 PM Me too, thinking of the same
although they have just changed the purchase quantities of the prospero X1 to 10 instead of 1 I damn well hope it is a mistake by someone on their site have you registered on their forums?

Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware? Post by: animentis on November 26, 2013, 11:20:56 PM Sorry - I just joined this forum - so this is the only place I can post. It seemed that it would be better than simply posting another Introduction post. I have seen other answers but I guess I haven't found anything that really made me feel confident in becoming vested in it.
I looked at their forum yet it seemed pretty sparse and it seemed like a lot of people were not getting responses. I figure they are busy and it seemed like I might get a better response from a more widely used forum. It seems like a great price - but it would be less great if they missed their target. Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware? Post by: animentis on November 26, 2013, 11:27:13 PM Thanks for the link - at least from what people have said it appears that they can be. I guess they just haven't put something out for awhile.
The quantity change does not appear to be a mistake from what I read. That's kind of a bummer. Apparently do not allow for group orders either. Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware?

It's a bad move because obviously people might risk $300 but think twice about $3,000! Title: Re: Any Experience with BlackArrowSoftware?
