I have no issues with MON or PLX and PLX is a dead coin...
The fact there's no source and the wallet is broken gives the accusations from Vod about this being a scam some weight.

Your wallet gets confused and corrupted when I try and mine on it! So I tried compiling the source myself... no source?
Will I be able to mine this coin after the dump phase is complete?

Update: 17th of November 2014.
1. Promised delivery date: 24th February 2014.
2. Batch 1 & 2 shipping:
X1 - not shipping (BA claims 40% were shipped).
X3 - not shipping (BA claims 8% were shipped).
3. Refunds refused.
4. Some customers have reported receiving their units within the last few weeks now that the problem with the exploding capacitors has been resolved. Unfortunately the majority of these customers say their now obsolete and practically worthless units have all burst into flames. BA has responded by halting production and shipping.

In their most recent e-mail, I was advised that my miner was of such high quality craftsmanship that they couldn't provide refunds or compensation for the unreasonable delay. They stressed this point by stating that the capacitors used were of such high quality that they couldn't explode. It got filtered as spam and has since been deleted. In hindsight considering the current 50% - 100% failure rate resulting in fire it really was a stroke of genius to use non-exploding capacitors, they'd surly have exploded if the cheap ones were used.  |

Quoted for posterity, images mirrored. So I recently purchased some X3 Units, and 2/4 boxes burnt down. One was burnt to complete rubbish (picture below), worst part was the blade was burnt from one end to the other so the machine stayed on causing quiet the smoke and an awful smell of burnt plastic, spoiled eggs, and burnt electronics. LUCKILY I was home..I was able to unplug em and throw the unit outside in my shed.  As for my second unit, it kept going on and off and hashing extremely low. The smell of burnt plastic kept coming and going. Opened it up and saw it begging to blacken/char on the metal of the blade; needless to say I threw it outside as well as the major fire hazard wasn't worth the cost of my home and my other mining gear or better yet my life.  Neither of the units were at default frequency; in fact all my units were under clocked and on its own dedicated 20 amp breaker. So yeah..not sure I'll be using Black Arrow products anymore. |

If I was to venture a guess I'd say the payments to KnC were for miners for his farm before the customer hardware was ready to be installed.

http://ecointalk.net/topic/392-black-arrow-weekly-production-update/page-520blackarrow #10385 Posted Today, 10:39 AM In the last few days there have been increasing reports of X3 units that have failed during hashing. We have now located this issue: It has been introduced by a part that we have used in our latest shipped batch (shipped between 20 Oct to 13 Nov). All miners affected by this problem have a barcode sticker (picture will be posted here: http://www.blackarro...y_hashboard.jpg. We are currently sending individual emails to all customers that we believe that are affected. If you have not received an email but are concerned that your miner is affected, please open it and check if your hashboard has such sticker. If your miner is affected, please stop using it immediately. If you do not stop using your miner there is a very high possibility that one or more hashboards will burn. We are now testing new hashboards in which we believe that we have solved the problem. We will send new hashboards to all customers as soon as tests are conclusive. Alternatively we can make arrangements to host your miner in our partner's datacenter in China that charges an all-inclusive fee. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Technical details: On the latest batch of miners we started to use a different mosfet because of higher efficiency and better sourcing availability. However, to achieve this efficiency this mosfet lacks a diode that protects it from short circuiting the 12V with GND in case there's a wrong message received from the controller. A wrong message can only be caused by the noise in the circuit or by a faulty controller. We have encountered this issue back in May but we have been working with Vishay (the manufacturer) to fix it. Initially, when we found the issue, we wanted to return the chips but Vishay declined to take them back claiming that they are considered safe to be used in consumer electronics and Sony is using them in PS4. Upon applying the changes in our design based on their advice and after testing more than 20 miners we believed that the problem has been solved and started manufacturing miners with these chips. However, it turns out that the problem is still there and in some unknown cases it happens and the mosfet burns, causing a short circuit which heats up the board and sometimes melts the PCIE connector. So you're saying a bug in your shitty software causes your shitty hardware design to burst into flames. Why not send customers the same solution you use in your mining farm? You know the one where all the used Bitfury boards (minus PSU) you have for sale in-hand on your website come from. Let me guess you're still too busy mining with the original batch of customer X3 hashboards you produced in May?

I'm also pretty sure every dollar given to Black Arrow funds terrorist groups like ISIS.
OH MY GOD I was just looking through the international Terrorist Database and I found this: http://archive.adl.org/terrorism/symbols/popular_front_pa1.htmlThe Black Arrow as represented by terrorist groups!! Now I'm not saying with 100% certainty that Black Arrow supports Terrorists.. But their model would be a stellar way to do so (Impossible to litigate, moving bitcoins around to buy arms, drugs, soldiers, etc.... I mean Glenn Beck Raped and murdered that girl didn't he? It's entirely possible BA funds Acts of Terror all over the globe!! Someone NEEDS TO EXPOSE THIS (if it is true)  It looks to me like their logo is a 1:1 ripoff of the Adobe logo.  Like many things in life there often are are no coincidences and the terrorist logo does contain a backwards black arrow turning 90° as central feature.  |

"Prospero software update: 1.14
Should there be a short circuit, the PSU will refuse to power up. If this happens, the customer will need to return us the faulty hashboard for replacement.
Note that this protection is working only with APlusPower PSUs that is included in our miners.
Soooooo... "Download our software so we can brick your miner." At this point there's a "Trading Places" like bet going on somewhere... "What should we bet on?" Well last time we bet I turned Kanye West into a superstar,.. so you need to do something very difficult, something that I'll quickly agree can't be done, but you're sure you can do, that way we'll be even. "OK I bet you I can repeatedly defraud, lie, molest, insult, overpromise and underdeliver, bait and switch, and make up excuses over and over to a group of people who will buy my products. I will break every essential rule of business, and I will still walk away 100% in the clear with not only the money I charge them, but I will actually have them work for me and give me money above and beyond what I charged them. To make things really interesting,.. I'll even wait over a year to deliver to many of them,.. what do you say?" Can't be done,.. You have yourself a bet! "How much shall we say for then?" The usual, 1 yen of course! Their latest offer is for you to download their windows control centre software, probably to monitor your wallet.dat file. BA has a bright future with this potential cloud mining gold mine. |

This was probably already commented on, but didn't Nicola Tesla find a way to tap into the earths...."hum"? Frequency, whatever you want to call it. I think that's what wardencliff was all about. But there we're some bazaar mental implications that came along with it. And he was afraid that it could be used as some kind of psychological weapon. It was also backed by a rockefeller who thought free energy would zap his plans at the money game. So it was scrapped.
Antenna towers are so informal, I prefer giant marble coated gold capped stone pyramids. |

Yes, nuclear energy comes from the aether (zero point energy). Dont show me mathematics. Mathematics are not science. It is a tool for the science. Show me experiments. Science = experiment. Tell me the input and the output of an atomic bomb.
Math is a model useful for prediction, if the model if sufficiently accurate. You think the Manhattan project just randomly blew things up in Nevada until they got lucky and used enriched 235, then just had also happened to be refining across the country? Without math? input=uranium output=boom Without math how can you quantify these inputs and outputs? How much uranium do we use, lots? What is the blast radius, really big??? you dont even know what zero point energy means...idiot. I had a professor who's day job is at CERN, a student in class asked him about the zero point energy, "what does that mean, there is still a potential in the ground state?" He literally shrugged his shoulders and said "who knows, its interesting though". So please tell me what use this is, how to harness it, and collect your Nobel prize. a) It's magic space energy. b) You harness it with giant pyramids. c) I get a prize for this? |

Too optimistic by half. Once they're done blaming the solderers, they'll find some other bullshit excuse for non-fulfillment.
"Sorry, it's a 2-week national holiday again in China."
"Sorry, the dog ate the plans for new firmware revision."
"Sorry, someone made the mistake of feeding the gremlins after midnight."
0.5% failure rate my hairy ass.
The gremlins technical skills make it my all-time favourite supernatural entity. The original Twilight Zone: The Movie was awesome!   |

Date added: 12 Nov 2014 Prospero X3 issues
There have been several reports and X3 units returned to warranty that have failed during hashing. While the issue has happened to less than 0.5% of manufactured machines, we would like to assure that this is under our standards of quality and we deeply apologize for any inconveniences this has caused.
We take this matter very seriously and have started looking into it with the first report we have received. We have also already contracted several expert companies to help us analyse and locate the problem. Until now we have not received their final answer but their preliminary analysis is that the problem is caused by faulty soldering of the mosfets which allowed them to overheat and enter in a state of short-circuit which caused the PCB to overheat and the PCI socket to meltdown. We believe that the smoke caused by the mosfet and plastic burning is toxic and must not be inhaled. For this reason we ask customers who have just received their X3 to keep it in a well ventilated area for at least 1 week as we did not had the chance to test the latest shipped miners for more than 1 hour.
Please rest assured that this issue is covered by warranty and in order to provide peace of mind to customers that are concerned that this might happen to their machine we are offering hosting into our partner's datacenter in China. This includes any X3 unit that has been shipped or still due to be shipped. Please contact us via our customer support, should you like us to host your X3.
This reminds me of back in May when they stated they had multiple teams of engineers working on the serial communications problem around the clock for weeks on end without rest. This new problem and the multiple teams they've contracted out to fix it seems like a smoke-screen to cover the fact that they're not actually shipping all but a few X3s. Can we expect delivery in Q1/Q2 of 2015 now or is this too optimistic? |

The OP has a valid point, last November I was in the market for some Bitfury boards. They were sold out on every site except Megabigpower who only had bare chips. Too much R&D for a full-time wage slave like me.
In my quest for Bitfuries I ended up at Black Arrow who like everybody else was sold out of their Bitfury solution.
Seeing that they were producing real hardware all-be-it with another companies chips and were offering their own ASIC based miners three months down the road I paid over $5 for the Prospero X3: 2Th/s @ 1W/Gh/s, shipping date: 24 February 2014.
A year later I have nothing and they're refusing all refunds, fucking scammers. I hate these Romanian clowns and their Russian sock puppet engineer. They never would have got me if it wasn't for their use of Bitfury chips.
ROFL ... this is the LOL of the day ! So because u bought a HP laptop from your local IT store, and they refuse to fix your laptop, its HP fault ? Cool logic dude !  The logic here is they (Black Arrow) used Bitfury on their website as part of the bait to lure me into their pre-order scam. The OPs point here is that there are companies out there using Bitfury to flog their scams and I'm saying yes companies are scamming using their chips/brand. In reality it didn't matter what company I chose back last November, they were all scams I was doomed no matter what. BFL, HashFast, Cointerra, AMT, VMC, KnC, etc, every one of them a scam. Is my logic really flawed? Are you saying I'm a retard for trying to invest in Bitcoin? Is Bitfury (KGB?) who only makes chips for themselves behind the pre-order scam conspiracy because it was the NSA who invented SHA-256? Am I fucking high or just dumb? |

Have you guys ever heard of the Dyatlov Pass incident? Thats one of the most interesting to me. "The absence of witnesses and the subsequent investigations concerning the death of skiers inspired intense speculation. Investigators determined that the skiers tore their tent inside out, fleeing on foot under heavy snowfall. Although the bodies show no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls and two broken ribs. Soviet authorities determined that an "unknown compelling force" had caused the deaths; access to the region was consequently blocked for hikers and adventurers for three years after the incident. Due to the lack of survivors, the chronology of events remains uncertain." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incidentyes, that incident is fascinating, there's so much to the plasma phenomenon including the involvement of a few malevolent forces. Simply labelling it "ball lightning", patting yourself on the back and walking away doesn't do justice to the phenomenon at all. Some cultures would make human sacrifices to these entities that generally live around the peaks of mountains where the piezoelectric fields feed them. NASA films them in the ionosphere regularly. I've seen proof beyond any doubt that these plasma entities create some of the crop circles. Any ball lighting witness will testify that it flies around with intent like an insect (one that can fly through walls). Now what kind of insect has supernatural abilities? Oh, and what's this near-by the crop circles, an ancient stone circle? Can some organizations use microwave equipment to simulate or spawn these entities? Perhaps somebody who isn't just taking shots in the dark would like to chime in on this? |
