This would be good news actually. Honestly, nothing would get done if this had to be discussed endlessly in the community, hiring a professional studio may actually get it done.

it is not a professional studio. they dont even have a website, or people who work for them.

that $350,000 is to help them start one so they can start on the project.

i just wonder how much this will end up costing and if we end up with anything.

What if the $350K was put in escrow via John K., paid out once the task is completed?

It is $1,000,000 plus now, but this "firm" is not able to do the work with out being able to hire staff and workers. I doubt they would trust that escrow anyway.

Why not! He vetted Matt Carson, the first ever double vetted person in all of BitcoinLand.

BTW, I just learnt that MNW deleted his Reddit post. Odd!

You expect him to run a secure forum for a multibillion dollar industry but spend not spend big bucks?

He's the #1 seller because somehow he has exclusive rights to run a group buy. Others started them and were quickly hit with that shit policy

Matt Carson was double vetted by John K. and DyslexicZombei, both of Hawaii. BTW, I'm one of the few that knows JK's real name.

I'm willing to bet that neither DyslexicZombei nor Matt Carson can provide receipts for said upgrades. Worse still, I know as a fact that a permit was never pulled for 939 Parkwood Ln (or Dr.) there in Rolla, MO, for one was surely needed when the three-phase electric power system was installed, unless Mr. I-smoke-too-much did it on his own.

Surely, it was done, for I believe DZ paid MC for such, taxing my memory of what I'll read on blockchain.info. I know I've read that DZ has tipped JK for acting as escrow, in spite of him sticking it up our asses in stating he's been doing shit for free.

Hey motherfucker MENSA dude! I'm the one doing shit for free, and have never bitched about it nor asked or accepted one satoshi for me doing such. Stick that in your Hawaiian hookah and smoke it.

Note to self: Never post after eating an entire 16" pizza at one setting, but damn it was fuckin' delicious.

Time shares. Are you vetted?

Not yet, but I submitted all my documents to Dank, Atlas and Tom Williams. Soon, I'll be the first to be triple-vetted on this here forum.

You think that's funny? Get a load of this:

Where are you located?

I am located in Spain.

That means around 21% in vat of the value that HF declares and more fees for handeling the customs. Just thinking about the price makes my wallet cry   Undecided

Ouch, gotcha.

Have you considered other hosting options in US? I think there was a Group Buy organizer offering up hosting services.
The GB man would be Mr Zombie, with me as the host

I mostly take a back seat to Group Buys nowadays (more of a head cheerleader), with thomas_s leading the charge for new GB Rounds, but yes, I do help others with vetted miner host matchmaking.

bobsag3 has been double vetted by myself and John K, and is offering the world's lowest professional insured hosting prices at 2.75% per 2 week payout. He's also done a number of impressive upgrades to his professional colocation hosting facility specially designed with my input and with ASIC miners in mind.

You want to know what's even more fuckin' funnier? Matt Carson didn't do a single fuckin' impressive upgrade to his professional colocation hosting facility before he failed to make October, November and December lease payments, then packed up his hookah (and some miners) and headed to Colorado on the day smoking and growing weed became legal in that state.

Fuckin' hysterical! Sadly, Black Arrow has proof of all this but keeps their number one reseller in place to...wait for it...continue sales.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of eating a pizza. (seriously)

The site that PG linked just went down right now for whatever reason, but here's a google cache:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TpxePg-hmE8J:www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php%3F331715-8000GBP-retained-by-Bank-of-Scotland+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk
Post #7 is where the name is mentioned.
blackarrow = yew = Willie Carson according to PG's research.

Wait... That's the name of the person who was replying to yew/blackarrow, not the identity of yew/blackarrow himself..
LOL. Carry on. Nothing left to see here.

I do wonder why blackarrow tried to delete that post he made on this forum referencing that site though..

Because it has nothing to do with this thread and is distracting.

It had everything to do with that thread before whoever is behind Black Arrow deleted what I was trying to show.

First, we have...


<snip>

Payment: We accept Bitcoin (at today's mtgox's rate), Western Union and Bank Transfer.
Shipping: We are based in Shenzhen, local pickup available. We can also ship worldwide with DHL, UPS and EMS.

Regards!

Yet, one day later the following was penned:

[clip]

The reason given for the post being deleted on September 14, 2013, 08:25:04 PM by blackarrow is that he posted off-topic, thus wanted to correct his error.

But, by the magic (I love that word) of being quoted, I present to you...

He said transfer wire, not transferwise.

I'm using transfer wire (SEPA) to bitstamp and it worked fine twice. (Sending; I haven't tested receiving yet.)

Whoops, good to know.

Bank of Scotland is the biggest gathering of thieves ever.

This bank has closed my business account in 2009 and refunded the money after 4 years with no interest. I had to invest hundreds of hours of my time in reading legislation and writing letters.

Not only this, they have also sent the Police and HMRC over my house just to hassle me. When they've seen that we are legit, they just refunded the money but paid no interest.

My fight with this bank still continues.


Dam, Good luck with that.

Now, you want to see something really amazing?

I do not have to sue them for the $8k. They have been returned 1 year ago.

Now I want to know why this has happened and I want compensation for the anxiety caused, my time lost to deal with this and interest on my money,

You see it? Thought so.

Which begs the question, why would a person living in the UK for an extended period of time post using GBP throughout the entire ordeal then, for the first time, opt for $8K at the end?

Especially when 8000 British Pound Sterling equals 13370.40 US Dollar.

To be clear, Black Arrow is Yew and is located in the UK.

I have a suggestion: Forget this entire episode and start a new user account today with a different user name. In ONLY 9 short days, you, too, can become a Vetting Hero. Simply contact DyslexicZombei and you'll be golden. Perhaps, if you play your cards correctly, you could be the official reseller of Black Arrow Minion Miners of (pick a country--any country that's still available). Myself, I'm buckin' for Lithuania, even though I don't speak the language, but my dad was born there.

Amazing... This is the last question I'm answering on this topic. Please do your proper checks in the future.
Please use the government's official website: http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk

CardReaderFactory is a trading name, is not a company.
BByte LTD is the company in UK. (company number 07035674).
CardReaderFactory LTD company's number is 08125672, not 03016878. This was created only to protect the name; don't expect to get invoices from this company.

BTW, don't bother going to that address because Matt Carson went to the UK and reported back that they've moved to a London address before he came back to the States and moved his plant (pun intended) from the Show Me State to the Grow Me State. (sometimes, you just can't make this shit up)

To recap, Black Arrow partnered up with Virisilicon to produce the Minion, and has an Alex Sovu (BerK) as a trusted employee (only), but opts to use Alex's bank account to accept payments via bank wires. And to think I had doubts about this viable entity. My bad!

BA cannot simply disappear because they have a company bank account/contracts with 3rd parties/physical location some have visited.

I stand corrected! I forgot all about Hookah Man visiting the Chinese plant (no pun intended).

Do you really think hookah man can just disappear? I literally just bought a graphics card shipped via ups so I think he would definitely be leaving a paper trail behind. I think its nearly impossible they commit multimillion dollar fraud while accepting bank transfers.


I have to admit, you got me on that one, for I honestly can't think off the top of head of a single entity that has ever committed fraud when they, in fact, accepted funds via a bank transfer. Has anybody here heard of such happening, otherwise I may have to concede my position? I know it's a long shot, but please try. Perhaps, together, we could hunt at least one down via Google. Or will we be wasting our time?

So are you saying that the people at Verisilicon - who personally confirmed tapeout to me directly - are in on this scam?
-____-

Glad that you appeared. Since "jimmothy" mentioned someone emailed Verisilicon, I've been searching for this piece of evidence.

Could you please show us (again, if you had already done so, sorry) the details of the correspondence with Verisilicon? I'd like to examine it (in details) in a fair manner.
Start here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294197.msg5123598#msg5123598

and keep reading til I mentioned that it's been put to rest.

I no longer think so. You see, Black Arrow and Verisilicon are partners in this venture. Verisilicon is also the co-designing for Bitmine's chip, along with Synapse and Innosilicon. Ergo, it's to their best interest to...

Don't you find it amazing that it took three IT entities to develop Bitmine's chip, but Virisilicon was able to accomplish basically the same task on their own for Black Arrow's Minion? It wouldn't surprise me to see Virisilicon consume the ASIC mining chip market with fireballs from their eyes, and bolts of lightning from their arse after accomplishing that feat.
