I won't post exact details of my order and refund request becasue I don't want to be punished by BA.

It seems that few hours ago they already changed my password on https://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/support/index.php?/Base/User/Login

so I can't access my account there to see the submitted tickets

I ordered X3 in the end of November and requested the refund in May.

Now what about the refunds? Where's the money BA?

If you have purchased from us, your money are here: http://www.globalfoundries.com/


What's that arrogant reply supposed to mean?!

We want our refunds. Period
506  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: July 29, 2014, 09:55:23 PM
For customers receiving units before October, we will adjust the price of your machines consistent with the 4.5TH/s +- 5% hash rate. Compensation will be based on preserving the $/GH ratio of the original deal. Starting in October, we will compensate you for the differential in hashing power according to each customer's preference. We will contact each and every one of you over the next few weeks to discuss your preferred method of compensation.

Early thoughts likely to be amended....

Whilst I appreciate that you will compensate buyers, $/GH isn't the only factor.

They've gone from 0.4w/GH to 0.67w/GH which significantly impacts both the running costs AND the length of time these will be viable to run.

Yes, this is did not receive any mention in the original statement. I am at a loss, however, at the 0.55W/Gh number that was a secondary comment.
If it is 0.55W/GH for 4500GH, then it is 2475W, which is exactly what was expected. Confused as to where the 3kw number is coming from.

July-September batches: 4500GHs +- 5% with 3000 Watt at the wall
October and later batches: 5500GHs +- 5% with 3000 Watt at the wall

Not sure why people of Aug-Sept orders have to wait until October for compensation.

Yeah I don't get it neither...

Hopefully they will start answering e-mails now as I have got few questions...

I'm currently in the process of collecting information for initiating some official complaints to the appropriate government regulatory channels. It's basically done at this point, Black Arrow has acted only in bad faith failing to perform even the most obligatory communications outside of simply collecting our money.

This situation has deteriorated to the point where the only recourse will be had once they realize that we can hurt them badly going after them.

I bet they think that these are empty words until they will be suddenly surprised. Same way as Hashfast, BFL, Bitimine and Virtual Mining Corporation were
509  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: July 29, 2014, 05:03:50 PM

That's great! :-)

How about also replying to our questions here and e-mails out there? :-)

I don't even get a t-shirt, KnC is still looking good from my point of view.

Who cares about some shit-shirts? :-)
Why would someone want to be walking advertisement, playing a faithul and obedient consumer and pay even more with their mindless consumerist loyalty with free advertising. Especially for such a greedy and inconsiderate company :-)

They are still far better than Black Arrow fraudsters

If they are not in first world country, you should just write it off as a loss.


Hong Kong is not a developing country as such. Alhough it is currently under Chinese control it has completely different and highly developed free market economy.

I found a picture with the KnC t-shirts! A real company with real people and real t-shirts.



Real company. After their Jupiter success (I had one myself) then transformed themselves into filthily greedy muppets who focused on building their farm while exploiting their customers by using their money from pre-order for Neptune. Neptune they failed to deliver on time with 2 months delay and major technical faults...

So because a BA rep contacted Dogie directly and you guys chatted for and hour but yet they have gone dark on even there own forum and the last few post from weeks ago was we are to busy to communicate . So that personal contact with you directly was enough to warrant a mid range com rating.  Roll Eyes I think i'm gonna agree with that fellow that said you were biased and getting something out of the situation . One of the biggest complaints about BA has been Communication for over 5 months now . Them talking to you directly does SHIT for the rest of us did you bother to ask them specifics to relay some useful information to the rest of us or your 1hr convo consisted of where to mail your on the house units ?
Mate, just read what is under the links above. It seems like he has been chased by Romanian authorities for large scale fraud!

I must inform proper UK authority about it! Maybe he has been chased by Romanian authorities. It is written in the article that he avoided prosecution because he left the country.
I will try to find out who I should provide tihs information to. And let them know that he is very likely to be commiting another crime again right now!

HashFast should have gone with ranking to 0 because they have failed to deliver 95% of equipment and what they delivered was with 6 months delay. Also they are crrently going through bankruptcy court hearings so they literally ceased to exist.

Black Arrow communication ranking shoudl go to zero. They have completely stopped any customer service 2 months ago. They have never answered any phone calls and they have been ignoring any customer's e-mails for last 2 months. They also, every day, on their forum thread they keep cenosring-removing any posts related to seeking any legal action against them.

I can't just mash a company's score to 0. They're listed as bankrupt and no one can even buy anything from them. They will slowly drop off into inactive (which currently isnt in this thread). They're currently joint 3rd last.

Black arrow are around, see above post. I can't punish them for using the moderated forum functionality, there are plenty of non moderated blackarrow threads you can post details about, including their CEO's address.

Dont get me wrong. I find your guide is very helpful and interesting. Thanks for doing it.

Black Arrow: That's interesting that they msged you because they completely ignore every single one of us, customers. They do not answer to tickets and they do not reply on forum. Please check up Black Arrow's thread to see the mess. They have no consideration for any of us whatsoever. The director seem to have been doing his best to cover up any details about his company and negative information about him.

If you don't believe us please read this article. If it is the same person he already has a history of computer fraud on massive scale!
