Update: 26th of August 2014 1. Batch 1 & 2 shipping:
X1 - not complete. X3 - not complete.
2. Refunds refused.
3. After 6 months of excuses customers are still waiting.
These guys are refusing to refund or deliver; this is fraud over $5000.

My X1 arrived today (technically yesterday, as it's now past midnight)...
Paydate was December 3rd (ordered through minersource)
Income-wise / on the bitcoin side of things [ and only because of the manufacturing / shipping delays ] I was somewhat disappointed that it performs "merely as promised..." so I really can't do much to improve that, though once I got everything configured right I spent some time hacking around and loading flappy bird onto it.
Plays great!

Bitcoin Difficulty: 23,844,670,039 Estimated Next Difficulty: 28,744,274,375 (+20.55%) Adjust time: After 1211 Blocks, About 7.5 days Hashrate(?): 189,880,137 GH/s
Looking into my crystal ball here I can see the X3 will be making $10/day in a weeks time. In 5 weeks the X3 will make $0/day. 10¢/kWh power costs considered.
If my X3 ships "next week" and takes a week to arrive I'll be able to mine for 3 weeks and make $140.
Surely, you didn't order because what was stated in the OP, ignoring my, among others, to not deal with Alex Sovu now did you? At today’s Bitcoin price and network hashing rate, X-1 would return $682 in 15 days and X-3 would return $13845 in 15 days (1). Unfortunately I didn't become a forum member until I got the email from BA at the end of January that stated I wouldn't be getting my miner. I had read some forum posts before I purchased but they were people talking about their BA Bitfury miners; I was confident the hardware was real.

If our ASIC will not be profitable, no ASIC with the same power efficiency will be and bitcoin mining with your Prospero will stop.
FTFY

September starts next week and it marks the one year anniversary for many customers still waiting.

ASIC manufactures are taxing Bitcoiners heavily. In most cases by keeping their money and not delivering miners as promised. If miners do show up it's not until after they're unprofitable to run if they're not completely burnt out already from mining.
This is not surprising when one finds out these companies are run by shady individuals and convicted criminals in many cases.

... Wha? Is it the crop circle? You know the people who were making these have come forward. They have videos of the making each one. Is it the orbit of Venus? Its an ellipse, like all the other planets. I don't understand why they drew a star in the middle? Is it the "symbol" for Quetzalcoatl's head dress? Because there is no such symbol in Mayan. Quetzalcoatl, which means something like "snake bird" was a primary God of the Maya. The "head dress" depicts the feathers of the bird they believed contained his spirit. Below is a picture of the Quetzal. ...
It's not a symbol for a head dress, lol. You are correct the orbit of Venus is in fact an ellipse. ...but there's more at play here; you can smell it, can't you? Imagine yourself hiking in a distant and remote location and finding a bed of stones re-arranged to spell out the word BITCOIN. This shit doesn't happen by accident, somebody had to arrange the stones. Earth and Venus were moons of Jupiter populated with giant creatures. The Gods decided for whatever reason to use their technology to re-arrange the solar system. However the resulting move away from Jupiter caused an increase in gravity making this planet not suitable for giants other than whales and a few others that could handle the additional gravity. The Gods solution, create "mini-me" in the form of the human race. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fevolve-blog.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F07%2FDr-Evil-and-Mini-Me.jpg&t=663&c=Lx51_vaEWB6Fwg) Earth was placed in the most optimal energetic position around the Sun and is locked into synch with Venus. The star is simply the result of connecting the dots. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdcsymbols.com%2Fdivinefem%2FVenusPentagram.jpg&t=663&c=twmYpK3VUgLTLA) The reference to the Mayan head-dress is from the now almost invisible tail of Venus. With no magnetic field the solar wind hits it and it spews out crap from its upper atmosphere forming a tail. Venus was visible as a giant comet right after the planets were moved but the plasma spectacle has since faded. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thunderbolts.info%2Ftpod%2F2008%2Fimage08%2F080220venustail.jpg&t=663&c=Jd8byRbrs3jlSQ) The final piece of the picture is the bio-hazard symbol. The upper atmosphere of Venus is full of bacteria and viruses and the tail carries them to Earth. The spores become lodged in our sinuses and give birth to cold and flu season. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bullz-eye.com%2Ffurci%2F2012%2Fimages%2Fcold_flu_season%2Fheader.jpg&t=663&c=YJ_LZy9GFKuy7w)

Looks to me like this is proof that all the crap living in Venus' upper atmosphere can survive the voyage to Earth. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cropcircleconnector.com%2Fimages%2FJapan-crop10.JPG&t=663&c=6NSyi_FWt-A1rQ)

Will Bitcoin Island have its own forge? what about power? We need massive amounts of electrical power! We also need a giant laser to vaporize pirate ships! Oh and Kool-aid, who's bringing the Kool-aid?

Only 3 20% difficulty jumps and 6 weeks to go before the X3 makes $0 a day after power cost.
Customers who get their X3 today will make about $350 before they have to turn it off.

My ASIC manufacturer claims they have military encryption applications for their chips. Thieving bastards also claimed they would ship me a miner 6 months ago. They're definitely crooks and liars but it possible there's some truth to this.
rly? Military Encryption applications, you bought that?? That's more embarrassing than pre-ordering a monarch. LOL you're very close..... the only company made such claim is infact BFL. I ordered from Black Arrow, what a bunch of crooks they're worse than BFL.

The distance in time between me and my money is now 9 months. BA appears to be using their ToS as an excuse to keep my money and not ship my miner until its value is 0 if shipped at all. Nobody agrees to be defrauded.
An X3 currently makes $15 per 24/h (power included @ 10¢/kWh). It's 3 20% difficulty jumps (6 weeks) away from the garbage can.
Compensation units sent out after shipping is complete? LOL
That's like shipping the customer an extra box of rotten tomatoes to compensate for the first box being rotten.

The irony here is that they're going to throw a hissy fit about your outburst right there which is just frustrated words that hurt no one, yet they will continue to defraud their customers as though that's totally fine.
I've been scammed out of a lot of money how am I suppose to feel? In any case it's been adjusted to more relevant subject matter with less psychosis.
