We want to say Hello to everybody in this wonderful Bitcoin community. We are opening this topic to introduce ourselves and to offer support to our existing and future clients.

http://blackminer.com/images/whoweare.png

We are a small company initially incorporated by two brothers that are passionate about Bitcoin. Our team is getting bigger and bigger every month. We manufacture Bitcoin Mining Hardware and we are miners ourselves too.

We've started in November 2013 with our first model, Black Miner Monster which had two versions: 210 GH/s and 430 GH/s.

We are working hard to deliver our next product, Black Miner Tower before the end of April (the guaranteed delivery time).

http://www.blackminer.com/images/bmtower.png

The picture above represents a 3D render of the actual case.

Black Miner Tower 1.2 TH/s is an Upgradable Stand-Alone ASIC Bitcoin Miner compatible with 19″ Racks. It’s easier than ever to upgrade! You simply have to use one Black Miner Tower as a Master Unit and add other Upgrade Units in order to get a hashrate of up to 7.2 TH/s. Upgrade Units have their own PSU and it connects to the Master Unit using an USB cable.

ASICs: Coincraft A1 28nm ASIC
Guaranteed Performance: 1200 GH/s
Power consumption: 1 Watt/GH
Chassis: 480(W) x 170(H) x 450(D) mm
Cooling System: High-Performance Cooling System
PSU: 2 x High Performance 750W Power Supply

Estimated delivery date is end of March 2014. Guaranteed delivery date is April 2014.

I have visited Black Electronics last month to check if they are legit. They are busy assembling and shipping orders but they still have the open doors policy available. Yes, they are shipping assembled Bitcoin miners made from generally available ASIC chips and custom controllers, power distributors, networking and firmware.

The advantage of ordering from them would be geographical closeness and delivery dates. Yes, you have to pre-order as any assembled miner would be instantly purchased by eager clients. If anyone on the forum wants me to ask them anything or interview them, let me know.

Why so much ($6200) for this miner?

China has multiple 1 TH/s+ miners (Lightning, JT Miner, Dragon 1 T) for $5000 USD.

We have different advantages especially for European clients like No Customs Taxes, no VAT and 1 Year full Warranty.

Europe is our main market.

ChuckBuck,

We usually don't discuss prices but let's do a quick math. As I mentioned before, Europe is our main market. In Europe the average VAT rate is 20% and Customs Taxes for Electronic Hardware from Outside EU is 7%.

Your price per TH: $4200.00.
Your price per TH after Customs Taxes and VAT: $5392.00.
Our price per TH: $5166.00 (Our unit has 1.2TH/s+)

Warranty: We offer 12 Months, they offer 6 months.
Cooling: We have Liquid Cooling, they have Air Flow Cooling.

And we can continue but I think that enough explanations were exposed here.

Please don't take this the wrong way but we don't discuss prices usually and we will not do it anymore. Every person has the right to choose the best offer that fits him best.

Thank you!

No problem, thanks for the explanation.

Just trying to make sense of everything is all.  Luckily I don't have to deal with VAT in the US, but appreciate you breaking it down for my fellow EU Bitcoiners.

Don't mean to nit-pick but there are not Customs Taxes for electronic hardware, just VAT and courier handling charges.

This is incorrect as I understand it. You do not need to CHARGE VAT to me in the UK, but I would be liable for VAT in the UK. Yes? :)

There are no Customs Taxes for things like Game Consoles, Monitors, etc. but there is a Customs Tax for PC Hardware. We deal with Customs very often, you have to trust us on this.

You will liable for VAT in the UK in the situation where you have the miner as a company owned unit and you try to sell it. That's the only situation where UK Goverment forces you the pay the VAT.

Romania are part of the European Union VAT Area, they must add VAT as part of the price when selling to an individual in the UK. When it arrives there is nothing extra to pay the courier.

If you are a UK VAT registered company and send all the VAT details to BlackElectronics then they do not have to add VAT to the price but that option is up to them not the UK company.



I must admit when I saw the thread before I just ignored it as a scam, now I am more interested but the price is too high. As pre order kit it needs to be $3,250 per TH plus VAT making their 1.2TH April batch tower around $4,320 inc VAT to compete with other pre-orders out there.

When are you starting to ship the Black Miner Prime? What's interesting is that if you will ship from stock then maybe people can get HF hardware before people who paid for preorders!

While I wish you all the best with your project, I regret you used Hashfast as your partner.

As a Hashfast customer, I can tell you from experience they have only delivered a fraction of the pre-orders they took. There are thousands of units (MPP on the BBJets Batch #1, Upgrade kits for the BBJets, Batch #2 "Sierra"s and MPP on the Sierra's) that still need to ship out and customers have been waiting for months without any updates or info. They changed their TOS on a few occasions to minimize the cost of refunds, and so an and so an.

If they now start bulk shipping you chips, they are actually reselling inventory that should have been gone to their own customers. Do you really want to do business with a company that uses such despicable practices? You'll end of holding the short end of the stick, like many others (the custom hardware forum has a few threads like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262052.msg5772340#msg5772340) like Icedrill.

I understand you only get the chips from them, but they are not delivering them to customers who already paid. Look at their track record.

So if they are willing to screw over all their initial customers, what do you think they'll do to you? Sure, you'll get a few samples, but the day you plunk down USD 200k for a batch of ASICs, you'll end up with a load of excuses why their chips can't be shipped. And you'll be like all those who prepared PCBs for the Avalon chips: stuck with a load of useless PCBs.

Worst, you might have already made promises to your own customers you can't fulfill

Dear Hashfast_CL, you take special place in my selective outrage. For 6 weeks now you are sitting on pre-orders and you are not shipping out anything of what was paid in September 2013.

It's not the case. As you can see in the above pictures they already received the chips. The only ones that are getting screwed are regular customers. Big company customers get all the goodies.

Because it's important that any potential customers of Black Miner realise the association with HashFast taints the deal and they are set up to lose all of their investments, just like all of us early HashFast customers have lost all of our BTC.

Or are you telling people now you did ship out the Batch #1 BBJet MPP, Upgrade kits, Batch #2 Sierras and Sierra MPP?

HashFast has a great record for taping-out the chip and getting wafers.

It was the substrate and board that slowed us down.

Black Miner already has chips; your FUD is irrelevant.

They will take pre-order now for 2048 or more chips. Good luck in getting them on time from HashFast, counting their history.

HashFast has a great record for taping-out the chip and getting wafers.

It was the substrate and board that slowed us down.

Black Miner already has chips; your FUD is irrelevant.

Then why aren't your customers receiving their units from the almighty CIARA assembly line?

Why not take your Scam Accusation to the appropriate subforum and leave Black Miner out of it?

You didn't order from Black Miner, so why bother them?

Bringing your off-topic rage into their thread is kind of...deranged.   :-*

Perhaps people should start blacklisting Black Miner on account of dealing with HF.  HF is certainly untrustworthy, I have a hard time imagining that anyone willing to do business with them is any more credible.

As the saying goes, "Show me who you run with, and I'll tell you who you are."

People still buy Avalon Gen2 and will buy Gen3 chip based products I wish they wouldn't but they do. Same for for HF Chips. I wish fabricators didn't use chips from disreputable businesses but you know what there are plenty of examples of this and some better designs do come out the woodwork.

Point is where do draw a line?

I wish the team at Black Miner all the best but there is a lot of baggage with HF I hope you can weather that.

No one is blacklisting those who used Avalon Gen2 or will use Gen 3 chips or those who used BFL chips to make chilies etc. of even the disputed A1 Chips coming out of Innosillicon. I don't see the value in going after Black Miner unless there is a direct link to HF as subsidiary or something like that.

You're not paying attention if you haven't seen people blacklisting Bitsyncom and the Avalon design.  The truth of the matter is that there are enough people in the world that there will always be another under-informed target.

It would be nice to support Black Miner and their products.  Unfortunately though, supporting some of those products also indirectly support HF.  If HF was open, honest, and humble I'd have no problem with that, but leaving countless people in dark, the underhanded tactics with the ToS, and their latest PR mouthpiece really isn't grounds for compassion and support.

I am MORE than paying attention. I was CHIP customer of Avalon and got mildly screwed. I didn't get BKKCoins, Burnin, Alten, Steamboat etc burned who lost millions and a few of these guys still haven't repaid everyone the outlay they put in as a result of Avalon not delivering chips and LYING outright about what happened to the chips. HF is no different than BFL, Avalon and unfortunately a number of other scams trying to pass as ethical businesses.

The point here is you are going after people who are buying chips and producing boards that didn't screw the community "YET".

I don't see torches at Marto's door, or those who built the BFL chipped boards or even a huge outcry for those miners being built in China off the A1 chips that were sold backdoor.

Where do you draw the line?

Ethically I agree you shouldn't be using HF chips but you know what the problem is HF not Black Miner or the others. In this case and others you can support the builder and hate the chip maker. And you should be warning people off HF as much as possible and you can rightly point out to Black Miner and others that HF is not a reputable company and you really shouldn't be dealing with them. But you know what if you bitch about Black Miner you have to bitch about the others as well who have done this before and continue to do it now.

I agree, and if I end up in other manufacturers threads on my pursuits of Hashfast_CL then I'll wave my flag there too.  If anything has been proven it's that the opines voiced in these forums don't mean shit.

I personally would never USE BFL in anything I am involved in but that is just my own take on BFL and the fact that Inaba tried to slander / libel me personally and get me fired. The other members in the WPC would have to make that decision as I am just one person with one set of ethical values.

Here is a list of chips I would avoid and vote down if the WPC was interested in using for ethical reasons and I would hope others avoid these chips as well:

HF Chips
A1 Pirated Chips
BFL Chips
Avalon Chips

But that is different than say slagging off Marto or Lucko or anyone who does use chips. I posted my own personal distaste for people using these companies products but again at what point do you say blacklist Black Miner or others for using HF chips? I would submit most of the effort should be brought to bare on bringing HF to account for their less than ethical behavior to our community. HashFast_CL is a huge distraction and should simply be ignored and people need to focus on education of the community and LAWSUITS against HF to bring them down. Same with BFL, Avalon and those pirate A1's out of China.

I am sure many might question the WPC for using A1 chips or using Minion chips if they have been wronged by Bitmine and Black Arrow but you know where you draw that line is important. I really think going after the company that caused the mess is the right way to battle against the thieves that pervade the community.

Having said that I would not be persuaded to buy boards or miners from anyone that uses these chips either but I am not about to make it my life's work to drag Black Miner and others like them to see the ethical light. Nope I'd rather tilt the windmill that is BFL, HF, Avalon and Pirate A1 chips before that. I think that is a fair and reasonable approach besides I don't have the time to play around in the 100's of incidents like this.

Bicknellski,

You have been begging HashFast for free chips via PM and email since our GN1 was announced.

I get it, you appoint yourself head of some collective and then want free stuff on behalf of the collective.  Very clever.

You didn't get any free stuff, so now you are angry at us for not helping you achieve your collectivist goals.

If you want Golden Nonce ASICs, buy a developer kit like everyone else.

Everyone was BEGGING them for free chips.

The answer I got was we had to SPEND 100's of thousands within a 2 day window or we would miss the boat on chips that would be shipped in December or sooner? We of course MISSED the boat and given the flaming shit bag HF created we are glad for that. I am not mad nor was the WPC mad at HF when we didn't get sample chips. We all had a good laugh at the sales tactics of "HURRY UP AND BUY GIVE US HALF A MILLION FOR THESE CHIPS TODAY OR YOU WILL MISS THE BOAT" we moved on to other chips and we are grateful we did.

That was when? September? November 2013?

We put the same question to Asicminer, Bitmine, KnC, BitFury, Gridseed, Cointerra, Black Arrow and a few more chips that the community doesn't know about and we continue to do the same right now as I write this we are engaging with any number of chip fabricators for SAMPLE sizes of chips. So where is the smoking the gun? We are not a huge company the WPC has limited resources and we are never going to get into million dollar chip deals. We get samples. We build boards. We release the boards as open source. We collect our license fees.

Hashfast_CL just another shill and unethical player in the market place. If you want the full transcript of the emails and chats I had with HF sales people I can provide it. I don't have anything to hide from the community. You on the other hand have no ethical standing in this community and it is rightly deserved.

You are on ignore.

HF doesn't care about their initial customers and they certainly don't care about their promises.  What they do care about is lining their pockets.  They've already got people's money so now they're in the position of power.  What other options are there?  Where do you get the most leverage on getting HF to start holding up their end of the bargain?  I could give you a hint but I think you see what I'm getting at.

Post by: Bicknellski on March 20, 2014, 02:40:29 AM
Yes. BFL is a well deserved target and I think my next all in target might be HF given the attempt to shame me publicly in this thread but I think there are plenty of people working on that end already to bring HF to a reckoning. I feel for the HF customers and the way they have been treated is just a nightmare. We do need to build an index for reputable and ethical companies selling to the community that would go a long way to pushing out the thieves.

Obviously at different points in the saga that is pre-order land different tactics are probably required and I suppose in a street fight all bets are off. I just think there is already too many flaky companies and who is to say that Black Miner or others can't be upstanding ethical players later on. We will see just know you got my support and whatever is required for going after HF. There are plenty of people making the decision to build with HF chips... there are certainly a lot of flies one would have to swat. Some people I guess are willing and able to make the leap from HF is scum to but we will support a 3rd Party Project knowing full well what HF has done to the community.

What type of confidence you do have that HashFast will deliver their GN chips? Additionally,
where is that confidence coming from? Have you spoken with members of their team or do
you have access to their chips/boards already?

I ask for several reasons, most being to clean up the bad taste in my mouth!

Mr Teal:

We've spoken with HashFast already and they have assured us that they have sufficient
quantity of the chips available immediately for what we need. We do have a couple
chips ready now (that you can see in the picture) that are just waiting for the boards
to be built so they can be tested.

Guess what, if people who did not get any free stuff are angry at Hashfast, how angry are those thousands of customers who did pay in 2013 for Hashfast products and did not get any of it so far?

No Batch #1 MPP, no Upgrade kits, no Sierras, no Sierra MPP. If you claim to have plenty of ASICs to ship out to these new projects, what is holding you back fulfilling your 2013 commitments?

Can you see the shitstorm growing nearer and nearer? And it will of course spill over onto anybody who gets into bed with HashFast and supports them by bulk buying the chips you should have long shipped to the customers who already paid for it

Black Miner: sleep with the dogs and you get flees

To be honest, I wish somebody would have posted 3 pages of complaints about HashFasts bad reputation back when they opened their thread trying to allure new customers. A lot of us would have realised it was a bad idea to spend money on any venture where Edward (Eduardo) Decastro is involved.

History will repeat itself here once again, due to the link with HashFast. Care to come back in 6 months and see how things worked out?

I'm buying only ready to ship ASICs no pre-orders for me. I know I will get less BTC from mining but my risk is lower as well.

To be honest, any association with Hash Faster is quite relevant. If Black Miner gets their stuff from them, then how do we know that they will continue to receive their supply of ASIC chips? Even a delay in construction can mean major monetary losses.

I mean if you found out that a certain store got all their supplies and merchandise with people associated with the mafia, would you do business with that store? Would you continue to depend on them for support?

As a relatively unknown company in Romania, and as a resident of the US, I have to be sure that I am dealing with a legit company. With the presence of this negative association, and no specific positive feedback about the company, I don't really feel comfortable throwing Bitcoins or $$$ their way, even if they claimed to have product in stock ready to ship. I contacted them and they do not accept credit card or escrow services for Bitcoin.

This means that if I send them bitcoin but they don't ship product for any reason, as a US resident I have absolutely 0 legal recourse if they choose not to give me refunds. This is not acceptable to me.

If anyone has actually received ASICs from them in a timely manner, this thread (along with trust feedback) would be a good place to let us know.

I was one of the firs customers to order a "tower" + upgrades when they were announced initially on the Romanian section of the forums. I had an online chat conversation with the guy before placing my order and I was told that they really hope (and believe) to have the machines ready by the end of March, but April was specified as a shipping dead-line just in case... Initially, the tower was supposed to be based on A1 chips from bitmine.ch, now I see on their website that "ASICs: 2 x Golden Nonce ASIC Chips" will be used instead. Also been asked if I'd accept a different type of case (middle tower type) instead of custom ones, because the custom ones producer was delayed. Although I asked several times so far if a specific date is available for completion of my order, the answer I got was "not yet", but was told over the phone that "what we initially talked is still available", while the answer to the question about ETA on towers on the Romanian forums was clearly mid April (for both tower and prime). As soon as I get more info on the progress of my order I'll let you all know here.

Cool deal. Yea, any new company that wants to establish itself better get things right from the start or they will have a hard time establishing credibility, esp with international customers. The slightest bit of difficulty or negativity (for example, constant complaints of delays by customers and users) is red flag enough to avoid. Every negative feedback destroys the last 9 positive ones that came before it, and halves the effectiveness of the next 10 that come after it. Low or no feedback users selling expensive stuff......not even worth a look.

This is true. You don't have to sleep with a man to use his ASICs ;)

So describe the situation, how many ASICs has Hashfast sent you? Just enough to do your development or do you have in hand the hundreds of ASICs you'll be using to complete your boards?

If you don't have the bulk of the ASICs yet, by what date do you expect them to arrive? Do you have to pay them up front?

The quoted text above implies you have all the needed components, including the ASICs right now. Is that correct?

We have enough ASICs for our first Batch production for Black Miner Tower and Black Miner Prime.

Of course we've had to pay for them upfront. The PCBs are manufactured locally and this is the only thing we are waiting for before we deliver all orders.

Here are some pictures for you: http://imgur.com/a/XTqRs

I hope you have more than the couple of chips you show there, or at least did not pay for more than you already got. HF are criminals, they sell the same product multiple times.

Probably one or more of the chips you have, where paid by me in September 2013.

Think about customers that (without considering the MPP) have (October 2013 orders) bigger than this "first batch".
No respect can be brought to HF or people reselling it's hardware.

So you are sitting on about BTC 400 of hardware that HF should have shipped to me and not resell again to you

The anger should be directed at HF rather than black miner, they are customers just the same as us. Its up to HF to decide in what crooked way they want to deliver things.

Black Elec, can you respond to my PM dated the 14th please?

Black Minor is just a guilty as HF, they are helping HF to keep their circus going by supplying them with needed funds. In the mean time the original customers of HF are left in the cold.

And yes, there is no way in pleasing the original HF customers, other than supplying them with either the hardware we ordered (which now seems to be in Romania) or a full refund.

As BombaUcigasa said, we do think that people are never satisfied. I don't know why we are accused of different things because we are using HashFast ASICs.

This is our last post related to ASICs and Hashfast. Please discuss our products or please ignore this forum thread.

Thank you!

The issue is pretty simple.  Hashfast has failed to deliver hardware that has already been paid for by their customers.  If you are taking chips from Hashfast now, you are interfering with the Hashfast customer's right to have their purchases fulfilled.  This means that you will be party to the active lawsuits against hashfast.

Google 'torturous interference' to get a clue of the world of hurt you are heading for.

Anyone buying from you is likely to have their gear mired in the disaster as well.

You are talking about like we forced them to sell the ASICs. Also, I repeat and please remember that we only have the ASICs from them and we produce our own PCBs.

Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract).

Ask your lawyer how it pertains to you taking delivery of chips ahead of people with contracts for delivery before you from Hashfast.

The only person liable is Hashfast if that were the case.  There obviously was a request made for chips and I'm about 99.9% sure during any conversation was Black Miner telling Hashfast man screw the customer give us chips first.  Also Hashfast is US based correct?  Black Miner is located in Romania so then it becomes international for any group with an attorney already.

Back to my point who all owned Avalon 55nm setups here?  How many manufactures alone got dicked over on that deal yet nobody cared running the loads of clones from China.

It's not their fault. HashFast can do whatever they with with their chips. It's not BE's responsability and duty to verify where are the chips coming from. A judge can only decide if HashFast acted in good faith or not when they sold customer's chips to BE, but BE has 0 guilt.

You are both wrong.  If Black miner, or MrTeal take delivery of chips knowing that they are being diverted from customers owed delivery ahead of them they become liable under the legal principle of torturous interference.  That makes them party to any judgements against hashfast, and could expose them to unlimited liability in the process.

What i was saying? How can they really (100%) know that the chips are diverted from customers? They have no means of checking. Or at least i can't see one. A good and well informed judge can decide that with proper subpoenas, but BE can't prove/check anything.

Edit: Please tell me how can BE know "beyond reasonable doubt" that HashFail is selling them customers chips.

And then even if they did know it was 'other customers chips', that doesn't create any liability. The order queue is none of their business, unless they actively paid more with the discussion that they could skip the queue.

Just to make sure, the other paying customers ordered chips or full miners? They are different products listed with different prices. By the way, not taking anyone's part here, but I hardly believe BE will hold any responsibility for HF misbehavior, no matter how many trials will be won against HF.
