Title: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: sameev29 on November 26, 2013, 08:39:36 PM Today I was looking at Black Arrow Softwares website and found out they changed their cloud mining plans.Now their hashing speed starts from 1thash/sec and costs $2000+.Earlier they were from 100ghash/sec and costed $200+.
Why the sudden change,no beginner miners will start with them for that high power and price.

When you buy a mining contract you're just buying equipment, getting them to host it, and then gifting it to them when the contract ends.

Could it be that the majority of cloud miners never clear their initial investment?

That is just a chip no board or anything else.
the Prospero @ $2000.00 is a full miner board/device with 10 chips Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: mogrith on November 26, 2013, 09:04:33 PM Could be I way was not watching cloud mining just the hardware. For my cloud mining see my sig.
(I'm just a customer) Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: Gator-hex on November 27, 2013, 12:37:23 AM It seems they've changed their minimum X-1 order to 10 units too!
Must be desperate to raise the $5m needed to produce the ASIC ;) They should really rethink their policy on no group buys if they are trying to upsell. Also maybe consider a referral scheme reward like KnC had. Sell 10 units get 1 free. Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: cooldgamer on November 27, 2013, 12:40:23 AM Was thinking about preordering a X-1, but by the looks of it, they're starting to go the way of BFL pretty fast.

Seems more like they are pushing for customers to buy from resellers and are offering a quantity discount to them.Must be desperate to raise the $5m needed to produce the ASIC ;) They should really rethink their policy on no group buys if they are trying to upsell.

Because the majority of those that mine at home clears theirs :P Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: malumeze86 on November 28, 2013, 12:11:13 AM Haha, have to buy 10 X-1?!?!
I was reluctant to preorder even one of them.... Oh,wellz.... EDIT: Fixed drunken English.... :D Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: revilo on November 28, 2013, 12:12:02 AM looks fake.
Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: Raw-H on November 28, 2013, 01:11:49 PM This is their statement on their own forum:
Quote As our company grows we needed to take the decision if we want expand towards retail business or hardware developing. We have concluded that we cannot do everything, therefore we have decided to concentrate on development and let our resellers deal with the retail business. For this reasons we have decided to raise the MOQ for X1 and Minion ASICs.

Oh,wellz.... EDIT: Fixed drunken English.... :D If you read their news section, they have stated minersource.net is their reseller. You can buy single prospero x-1 units there, as well as single minions. http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/index.php?dispatch=news.list Title: Re: Black Arrow changed there cloud minions plans Post by: terrapinflyer on December 15, 2013, 08:37:25 AM Today I was looking at Black Arrow Softwares website and found out they changed their cloud mining plans.Now their hashing speed starts from 1thash/sec and costs $2000+.Earlier they were from 100ghash/sec and costed $200+. Why the sudden change,no beginner miners will start with them for that high power and price. Have you considered that they sold all there 100gh/s contracts and are still selling the larger ones? Also the 10+ order limit is so that they can ship units faster and deal with less customs issues. They have enlisted some re-sellers to handle smaller orders. |
