Guys
I'm not at all confident that you'll get your money back even if you try.  Several weeks ago, I went to the BA site and was looking around. I checked my invoice, and it had been altered.  I checked my original copy and verified I had purchased for a MARCH delivery.  The invoice had been edited to say it was now a MAY delivery.  I decided to request a refund on Jan 13th.  At first they didn't respond, then they kept asking clarification of what currency it had been paid in (bitcoin) stating that it had to be returned in the same denomination. On 27th they sent me an email saying the funds 'had left the bank'.  Strange place to keep bitcoin, so I asked for clarification and they apologized and said they meant to say they would pay in bitcoin.  They asked for a bitcoin address which I had given them numerous times.

Still no refund

On their internal forum people have been asking the same question about why their invoices had been altered.  The moderators have all been stating that it was a mistake, and just reflects what they are currently selling.  Then the email last nite.  BA has known they were gonna do this for a long time and have lied about it for weeks. Their inability to complete my refund goes way beyond ineptitude, and makes me wonder if anyone will get their money back

SCAMMERS!!!

Black Arrow is no longer concerned about a single one of their investomers, consider...

Chill Black Arrow!  Seriously, these are some of your customers?!

Sorry about that. Comment corrected. I was hoping that nobody will notice it by the time I had the chance to fix it but this is a very active forum.


Ergo, they're mining with your shit built with your money, and this is their way of saying, "Fuck off! We got ours. Now, you're bothering us, kids!"

Now, I say anybody who negates this post is most likely in bed with them fucks. Please quote entire thread during the negating process.

The bigger question is will BA deliver in May ?
I mean, does someone see anything else than an autocad render ?

A few days ago BA were telling they were on time, no problem. After silence. And then big delay announcement.
No legit company would communicate in such a way.

They obiously lied in their statements.
So what garantees do we have that their ASIC even exist for real ?

I've seen video of their previous PCB work ; but that was month ago.
The have cashed probably tens of millions of dollars with their pre orders.

Why should they even care about delivering something ?

If the product would really exist, they would post some pictures or video of the design.
I have huge doubts about the reality of their operations.

I'm not telling all this to troll, I have $60K in early orders at BA.

Eric


As I tried to warn all you fucks last year that BA stands for Bad Actors, but BA removed all such postings from this thread being that it's self-moderated but, guess what? You can post all the shit you want now, for they won't take the time to delete jack shit, jackshit for those playing at home and are no longer able to get it up to jack off due to all the depression pills you've been prescribed.

Hi!

I've received numerous reports of trolling on our thread therefore I've deleted all your posts.

While going through them I was shocked with the amount of hate you have for us. May I ask what we have done wrong to you and why do you have a vendeta with us?

Regards!

The above was sent from BA to me via a PM, with apologies for quoting it, but opted to address the concern here, seeing nothing personal is within.

Firstly, I hate the word hate, and don't use it in RL.

As you probably didn't read, I didn't want to reenter your thread, but was asked to by two fellow bitcoiners to investigate your asses due to them having refunds denied. According to BA Matt's tone, I'm the one that was probably trolled into conducting this investigation, but that fact doesn't take away what I've uncovered, of which all the posts deleted will now be in this thread, one post at a time.

You folks had every opportunity in the world to get in front of this clusterfuck, but opted to hee-haw around most every concern presented. We've all seen the same exact act played out before to the tune of bitcoiners losing millions. One of the main differences with your script is that an extra layer was added in the form of resellers, at least one of which I clearly shown is Black Arrow proper.

Everything you've done to date concerning the ASIC line has scam written all over it, and quite frankly I'm motherfuckin' sick and tired of reading about it, especially since I'm still waiting for the return of my 1,100+ BTC from InstaWallet, loosing control of them since April of last year. Ergo, I'm one pissed off motherfucker, but I don't hate anybody. I've yet to report a single post to the mods or put anybody on ignore, case(s) in point.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some reposting to do, thanks to you know who. Damn, I hate doing this, but you spelled vendeta incorrectly.  Grin

Reserved for the list of actors associated with Black Arrow, along with a future I-told-you-so.


I just realized that this is going to take a while, and the first few post I've posted after replying to blackarrow is not really driving the point home for the purpose of this thread, therefore allow me to continue to post in the fashion I'm doing, but when I come across a deleted post that should be closer to the fold, I will shuffle the posts accordingly.

Due to the most recent events over at Team Black Arrow's thread, I'm sad to report that Black Arrow of blackarrowsoftware.com is most likely a scam, mainly because they have yet, to date, offered up any proof whatsoever that ASICs are being produced, in spite of numerous requests by fellow bitcoiners. They are also refusing to honor any refunds at this time.

This thread will be populated with all the posts that were deleted by Black Arrow, penned by me, mostly consisting of the ongoing investigation on their operation(s), along with their resellers.

A myriad of people have requested refunds, but their latest excuse for not complying is that they have to wait till after all the files are transferred from one computer to another, something they've been working on since December.

Fair warning, for there's over a 100 posts of mine that were deleted, but luckily they're saved and will now enjoy their new home on this non-moderated thread.

Any entity that's worth their salt, doesn't need to have a moderated thread, for there would only be a small handful of naysayers that can easily be dealt with, with the...wait for it...truth (and sugar, oppose to vinegar).

Apologies, if the posts are not in any chronological order, for I don't believe Alex Sovu/Alex Berk took the time to delete them in such a way. Also, this isn't the first time he deleted my posts from his thread, doing such during its beginnings when a myriad of things were brought to light, some of which were rehashed and will be posted in this thread.

The vitals are included above if Black Arrow decides that it's to their best interest to use their investomers' moneys to sue my ass.

EDIT: The following was asked during the time frame that Black Arrow was online deleting my posts proving they're a scam operation, then opted to reply to my sockpuppet's retarded post (unaware that it belonged to me), but felt it wasn't important enough to address. Any entity worth its salt would have replied to the below, especially since its been asked a myriad of times since late last year.

Since you're here, why don't you provide us with an update. What progress has been made in the last week?

Last week was Chinese New Year, most of the company was off work.
Anyway, we have completed the pinout of the chip, made some progress on the case but has not been completed.




I remember post after post about how you guys would not be affected by the CNY, care to comment why "most of the staff" had off when you previously said it wouldn't affect you guys?

Also since a yes or no answer was never given, will minersource be giving refunds, yes or no?
Need an answer to this as well, blackarrow.
Ask minesource they are not black arrow, they are just resellers.


This is where the official record seems to be, not that anything is ever official, it does matter here as the way bobsag will get money is if BA gives it to him to give to us. So I think this thread is very appropriate place to pose the question, which has been asked numerous times, not only by myself, and never answered with a definitive yes or no

I never said this.
I already contacted coindesk asking them to fix their article.

Feel free to watch the video again:

I said that the fiat withdrawal delays were not being caused by a lack of money in the bank.
That is very different from saying that they are solvent.
If I had to guess,  I do think they are solvent, just horribly mismanaged.

I truly love Roger Ver and it would hurt me inside to later learn that he's somehow tied up in that Mt Got fiasco. <I realize that I am quoting RV>

Play Me

The following apology email was sent from Black Arrow to its investomers, of which anybody with any brain cells left can easily read that in no fuckin' way anybody at Team Black Arrow is capable of penning such from their heart without the help of Google, of which I will prove.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have to inform you that our schedule to manufacture and assemble the system has been disrupted and we are unable to make delivery of the Batch 1 Minion ASIC chip on the initial scheduled date (end of February). We are now expecting to dispatch all Batch 1 orders on 1st of May 2014.

Please be re-assured we are confident that we have tried our best to accomplish our initial ambitious targets. However, we came to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of our customers to delay shipping in order to ensure that the product provides the best-possible user experience.

Without this delay we would have achieved 1.5W/Ghash which would have meant that our chip would not have been competitive at all.

We have now finalized the design process using our newly improved code and will start manufacturing the chip (tape out) in the next few days.

We are happy to announce that Black Arrow Software’s products remain on target for being the best in their class for power consumption. We confirm that our latest improved design has the following technical specifications:

·0.75w/Ghash on TT corner @ 25C which is expected to run at 120Ghash/sec.

·SS corner will be 0.6w/ghash and will run at 100Ghash.

·A further underclocking and underpower should be possible and should yield 80Ghash @ 0.5W/ghash. However, please note that this is not guaranteed to work stable.

Please note, that a further push for improvement in the optimization process would have guaranteed further delays for at least 1-2 months.

It is no secret to us that the Bitcoin mining process is proving to be more and more difficult every day. To compensate our loyal customer for the unforeseen delay of in delivering our miners for batch 1, we are happy to offer free extra hashing power which consists of 25% of your purchased hashing power from our Rent-Some-Minions cloud program for 4 months.

The account for the tape-out has been settled in full and we are confident that the delivery will be completed shortly.

We are taking all the necessary measures and positive actions to expedite delivery to you as soon possible and we are confident that we have the resources to be successful.

Please note:

·We estimate that the delivery for the Batch1 will coincide with the delivery of the Batch2
·The delivery of Batch2 remains unchanged
·The one-off offer presented above is open to the customers who placed orders for Batch1

Sincerely,
The Black Arrow Software Team

We are taking all the necessary measures and positive actions to bring back everything in right shape but still we are of the opinion that the supply will be delayed by at least 15 days and we expect you to have patience if possible.

We can assure you, however, that if your order remains in force we will expedite delivery to you as soon as we are in position to do that. Please accept apology for this delay and thank you for your anticipated understanding.

In the call, Buckwald said that the company had always planned on having a beta test, but that it simply fell behind and decided after "wrestling internally" with the issue that it would be better to delay shipping in order to ensure that the product provides the best-possible user experience.

A man does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. He doesn't winnow, winnow, winnow until truths can be humbly categorized, or intellectualized, until behavior can be written off with an explanation...

Looks like I got that wrong  Roll Eyes

even Phinnaeus Gage dropped by.


I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then...
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition YOUR condition was in

From what I've read, it's not looking too rosy. Case in point, the following, beautifully written, apology letter. Please, nobody quote me, for I don't want the fuckers who have me on ignore to benefit first, in front of you kind folks, due to me exposing more shit on Black Arrow.

"But, but, but... It's only a letter! Surely you can't take such a simple act and stick it up BA's ass... Or can you?"

Watch me! <as I talk to/answer myself thinking that my doctor says I'm improving>

Are you already able to cloud mine or did they give you a date? Could you copy paste the mail here?

4-month compensation cloud mining starts on May with the Rent-a-minion program.

What is not clear to me is if they are moving to 20nm to solve the energy problem or what ...


What should be clear is that I can't think of a single person at Team Black Arrow that's capable of penning the above, let alone somebody on their Software Team. The only person who may come close is Kano, who's located in Oz (fuck me! just thought of something I may have to research, even though I somewhat like the guy in spite of how he feels about me in this regard--BA).

Did anybody here, having an order on the books for BA product, have the question cross their mind, after reading the above apology letter, as to who wrote it? Don't think too hard, for remember, you have more money than brain cells, and you don't want to compromise any of the few you have left.

Yes, I could've penned what needs to be said in one short sentence, but then I wouldn't get to play doctor, trying to reactivate some brain cells in my patience's heads, pro bono to boot.

Without further ado, for I'm booked on the course to play 36 holes of Snow Golf, I present to you lazy fucks the author of the above apology letter: http://www.effective-business-letters.com/Example-Of-Business-Apology-Letter.html

BTW, here's what happens when you don't follow the script...wait for it...to the letter:

He could take that daily $50K and deposit it into a real game, one with a real pig bouncing on blue balls. Once you reach some unknown high score, you're able to cash out, unless technical issues arise, then you have to start all over again at level one, level two if it's a Monday.
