I've resent my PM from, May 02, 2013, 01:06:17 PM in case you missed it.
I've received it. Sorry for the delay but it's due to the jetlag. I just arrived in China to help and to ensure that everything goes well. Will reply to you shortly. Regards! If Black Arrow in located in China, then way the fuck did he have to fly from the UK to China to make sure everything goes well? |

@blackarrow: Are the Lancelot units actually in stock or are they going to be shipped out in August (per the description)?
That's May, not August. Who came up with the idea to say: medium / small / big ( month/day/year). Should be ascending or descending, not random :-) Me think Black Arrow is still trying to figure out how some calendars work. |

$350 + $70 shipping seems to be a lot. Keep in mind, ASICs are coming out this summer, BFL is about to ship 1st batch of orders and there is KNCminer too.
We can work on the shipping price if that's an issue. Just drop us a note in the notes and we'll inquire DHL what is the exact price to your city. Yes, right. By the time BFL ships, we'll also ship ASICs. Just keep an eye on us!Roger, that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

If trust is an issue for you (which I understand why it might be) keep reading this thread and you'll see happy customers. Maybe then you'll change your mind.

|

On that date in February we will sell cheaper than our competition. This is our promise.

Do you have any more renders? Wa-hahaha   stop it, these guys have paid a lot of money to these crooks. Thanks for the update, blackarrow. But the fact that your product page still says "In Stock" is blatantly deceptive.
If we put the product out of stock, our website will not take any orders. We've added a note to the product to explain the situation. Three days ago, I placed an order for an "In Stock" product and was immediately told the item was backordered and I would receive a notification in the next 4-7 days for payment. I now learn through your post that my order will most likely not be available for an additional 4 weeks.
I understand the manufacturing and supply chain process can be very challenging, but placing an overseas order like this requires a great deal of trust from the customer and when a customer's expectations are manipulated and/or misinformed by the seller - that trust erodes quickly.
Of course, I have not yet made any actual payment, so there is no measurable loss of funds here, but you should know - this sort of practice is disruptive & irritating and furthermore seems unsuitable to the communicative & helpful person that you seem to be.
We've been more than open with everybody here about how the production is going. We've asked everybody not to pay for the products that are not in stock but we still see unhappy customers like you. I guess you cannot make everybody happy whatever you do. I'm amazed how some people are so sensitive about such a minor detail but they are pouring money in some companies that have not shipped anything for 1 year (Butterfly Labs). |

Gotta wonder how trustworthy DZ is now.. It would be a shame that a weak and rushed Vetting process on someone ruin a reputation of what might be a honorable guy.
So now these things linger:
Did DZ not know Bobsag was deceiving the co-op?
Did DZ not know Bobsag did not perform the "Upgrades" to the "WORLD CLASS FACILITY in MO. " ?
DZ states several times about the CO-op transparency so IF HE DID KNOW about all of this stuff was he transparent enough to let the Co-op in on what was going on and how they were being misled?
If DZ did not know what was going on.. SHOULD HE HAVE - being the Leader of the Co-Op , entrusted with almost $100,000
Now that a lot of BS is coming out with investigation has DZ thought about Bobsag being the first person he REVOKES his Vetting Badge and Co-Op Citizenship award from?
And why did Black Arrow almost immediately embrace Matt Carson after being vetted by DZ? And why doesn't a guy who supposedly works at Kauai Test Facility not want to disclose who he really is on this here forum if he truly is providing an honest-to-goodness service? |

Black Arrow has deleted the above post no less than three times, yet continues to champion their number one reseller.
Says a lot about who Black Arrow is, ergo they can NOT be trusted.

Seems to me that with deleting posts of only one Bitcoiner--me--and creating a banner for the upcoming Austin conference to be manned by a proven liar, I don't see where they'll find the time to do other things, i.e. answer repeated questions about refunds. 
<snip?
Do we accept resellers?
Yes. In order to save our customers shipping costs, we will accept a company that wishes to become our reseller and proves that they are experienced and trustworthy.
Let's revisit Black Arrow's first trustworthy reseller, shall we? From the desk of Bobsag3, a.k.a. Matt Carson, Black Arrow's first and #1 reseller for their miners.
<snip>
I never ended up moving to another warehouse in Rolla, just the one. We went right from small warehouse in rolla > denver warehouse in one move, early Jan.
We paid for every month, and if your in contact with who you should be to verify that kind of info, they will verify it. So yes, your blowing smoke up peoples asses.
And with that im done on the subject. I think people have seen im more than up front compared to most here- but lets stay on topic about BA, or about actual minersource orders.
Timeline of Matt Carson's datacenter locations. Originally posted in Black Arrow's self-moderated thread, but quickly deleted for being...wait for it..off-topic (and that I was trolling, so they claim). Black Arrow has proof that Matt Carson can NOT be trusted, but continue to use him as their official reseller in the US. If I were to use Tom Williams, of mybitcoin.com, as my official reseller for some product, stating that people change, would I be able to sell many product, Alex Sovu, of cardreaderfactory.com? Me, the asshole, no think so, yet... BUILDING #1: Purchased the building, awaiting infrastructure. Building was purchased today!
All the wiring and infrastructure equipment arrives tomorrow-Wednesday. Over 400lb. Poor UPS man
<snip>
Thanks- Ill be moving to a custom made facility here in under 3 weeks.
BUILDING #2: Moving to a better facility here (still in Missouri) located 90 miles away. Major Update!
We will be moving to a much large, much better facility here by the end of the month. There may be a short down time (its only a 90mi drive) while being setup at the new facility, but we will not be turning anything off right up to the last minute.

Building acquired  I cant answer on the software but I can on the shipping. Looks like the boards should be done here within 48 hours, and then will be dispatched after a small amount of testing to AUS, and me in the US. At least from me, all boards will then be tested again (Not sure how long... suggestions?) and then immediatly shipped out same day via UPS Next Day/2nd Day air [depending on location]. As soon as we know the boards are done, we can give concrete delivery.
I'd sample test say 1/10th of the boards for a few hours on testnet. That'd be my recommendation Yeah I can do that. *might* be able to live stream, or atleast upload a ton of pictures. I will be shipping from MO. Middle of the country, and if your anywhere close to me Im ok with local pickup . And I just want to say guys - Barn has been working very hard behind the screens to bring this all together... this stuff is immensely complex.
<snip>
This is why I went from garage > warehouse > bigger warehouse. Heat is nuts.
Shenzhen, China 11/26/2013 8:05 P.M. Departure Scan
Yea, but do the thumbs have any tracking info? When you get the board delivery after a quick run though where are they coming from for you. I seem to expect California. No idea on the thumbs- thats all Barn. I will be shipping out from Central MO.Does anyone have any details regarding power consumption. The genesis block calculator says expected power usage per unit to be 2100 watts. I am afraid for me that's not going to work. To be honest I was expecting something that would work on a residential 120v circuit. They also do not offer any hosting yet unfortunately.
I got ya covered  But yeah that is kind of silly. Im glad when I put my new facility together I decided to say fuck it and got all 240vNovember 26th, edited on the 28th, Matt Carson is still in Missouri at the second facility: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=347732.msg3723600#msg3723600bobsag3: Vetted Co-op member. World's lowest hosting fees for vetted miner hosting at a professional colocation hosting facility in Missouri! Official Black Arrow US Reseller and US Distributor for Drillbit Systems. New Pres. of our Mining Operations arm of our LLC. Providing R19 and R19B miners to the GB Forum! And still upgrading his second facility:
<snip>
No problem. Im having a 400A 240V pannel installed just for the 2kw+ miners that seem to be coming out.
On December 12, 2013, fresh back from China, Matt Carson posted the following... BTW, still located in Missiouri:This makes no sense financially and if it's going to be hosted in a data center it should be using specialized GPU mining racks that can run more GPUs per motherboard/CPU. You really need open racks and to use PCI-E riser ribbons if you want to build a GPU mining rig, using a desktop computer case makes no sense especially because heat is a huge issue with scrypt mining. Also to be honest, scrypt mining is VERY finicky compared to SHA256 mining, you're talking about constant lockups and crashes if heat isn't perfectly controlled. The amount of time that's going to go into keeping everything running is going to be much higher than with bitcoins and given how the Bitfury towers already caused a ton of problems I'm not sure the coop has enough manpower to keep racks of scrypt miners up and running.
The new facility comes with me also having hired 6 more people to help out. I am currently training them right now.
<snip>
I am working with them right now for me to help with their tickets, so we can get the response time much faster. I have hired additional staff that start work here in a few weeks, and I know they are working hard to improve their systems.
I cant speak on the refunds unfortunately, I am still discussing the options with them.
Four hours later, Matt mentions for the first the move to Denver, right after somebody ask about local pickup since he lives in KC. Did his new hires move to Denver with him?We will offer local pickups- but we are moving to a massive new facility in CO, so pickups will have to be from there . ALSO: I now have access to the BA ticket system, so if you need a response feel free to PM and I can at least check on the status for you. We are all moved into the new place, lots of updates and pictures to come!
BUILDING #3:Somewhere in Colorado, in some warehouse with 16-18 foot ceilings, ideally well-suited for bitcoin miners that love fiberglass dust sourced from the exposed insulation in the ceilings and walls, blown free from the constantly moving vortex of air due to the industrial-sized air conditioning unit(s). Whatever you do, don't open up that massive overhead door that's probably not well-sealed, otherwise you'll really have the dust a flying. This has been the third time you're on record in stating that you only moved once. Care to try for a forth time? ~TMI BTCITW |

A man left his cat with his brother while he went on vacation for a week. When he came back, the man called his brother to see when he could pick the cat up. The brother hesitated, then said, ''I'm so sorry, but while you were away, the cat died."
The man was very upset and yelled, ''You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn't come down. Then when I called the next day, you could have said that he had fallen off and the vet was working on patching him up. Then when I called the third day, you could have said he had passed away.''
The brother thought about it and apologized.
"So how's Mom?" asked the man.
"She's on the roof and won't come down."

Soon, the only coins that'll be left to trade will be Bitcoinica's, that is if Mr. Blue Balls didn't already move them off the exchange.  |
|
|

Bitcoin wouldn't have reached $1000 as early as it did without Gox. Show some respect.
Blue ball on head. CHECK! Big gut. CHECK! Going up in flames. CHECK! Kept the flames small to show respect. DOUBLE CHECK[MATE]!!!  |
|
|
|
I don't know why you all want Gox to die...we should be rooting for them to fix things. A lot of people have a lot of money tied up on that website. Obviously, the people just rooting for it to just implode, don't have any skin in the game over there.
The best case scenario would be for another company to come in and buy out Gox, fix the problems, and slowly be able to pay everyone back the money that they are owed...

I just found the below pic via Google image search and immediately saw a face in the wave hitting the shore. I thought it would be fun to pay out a bounty to one artist who best depicts the creature. The resulting image I choose will be hand-tooled on some leather ware by my bother-in-law, Martin Basurto. Please post all submission in this thread, so that even if you don't win, others will be able to see your talents, thus possible garnering future commissions. I think two weeks is a long enough timeframe to run this bounty. Please ask any questions via this thread or PM. Good Luck! ~Bruno Kucinskas http://www.weathercast.co.uk/weather-news/news/ch/0d56586ae7e121c02d2e6bc8fcd5c68e/article/february_weather_summary.html |
