Looking into my magic crystal ball here I don't see shipment as being complete by the end of the month.

Feb 28 2014: 3,815,723,799
Jul 12 2014: 17,336,316,979
17.3 / 3.8 = 4.55
4.55 * 2Th/s = 9.105Th/s
4.55 * 100Gh/s = 455Gh/s

Looks like the weekly update on the delay is delayed again. I still haven't seen any reports of anything but useless propriatary PSUs being shipped to direct customers.

Sorry to hear that. I have an order there too. So I guess the 15-31 July shipment date is another joke?
Not if you're a Batch 2, X1 customer with a lucky re-seller, you win a brick! No brick for you unlucky direct Batch 1 X1 customer! |

I'd say the major lesson learned here is that's if you're going to do business in China make sure it's actually run by a chinaman and not some eastern europeans running a British front company out of the Virgin Islands.  |

Now shipping X1s?  |

5. Black Arrow continues with it's unreasonable delay in delivering product.
6. Promises to match current market prices per Gh/s upon shipping broken.
Customers don't even get what their money would buy from vendors with in hand product? How can they claim they're not a scam company?

Question: The difficulty is raising too fast! Will my miner produce any BTC by the time it ships?
Answer: Your miner will produce the most bitcoins compared to any other similar priced miner. We think the rising quota in network difficulty should slow down as the power hungry hardware currently on the market will not be soon worth running. With our products we try and make the best design possible for the 28nm process node. We have optimized the chip towards best efficiency and raise the hashing power while ensuring stability. The next step as we see it will be a lower process node. Every possible optimization has been done on our products.
Furthermore, the price per BTC is increasing at an ever increasing rate. As the price increases it will offset the difficulty.
What about the S3, isn't it based on 28nm? Price per Gh/s and W/Gh/s they have it covered. |

How about a fun technical question while we wait. Will the Minion operate at 99.9°C? I know silicon still switches.

It's 1W/Gh/s @ 100Gh/s at the wall, the efficiency is the same no matter how you clock and volt it. They even mentioned this fact when they first got their chips.

I think Tritium is the prophesied hydrogen economy of the future. It glows (indirectly) and it produces power for 20 years. $30,000 a gram it's worth today. EDIT: I was pleasantly surprised to find that I can buy nuclear powered lights for under $50 on ebay.  |

Noone speaking about "Minion powered at 0.6V and the efficiency is 0.5W/ghash at the wall @ 50 Gh/s"  ? When will we see this result on an X1 or X3 X1 working at this state could be the one low hashrate capable to run standalone in high efficiency On X3 could be the only way for ppl who order a large amount of HW to handle compensation ( total power draw problmes ) Why work on X2, when few lines of code (+ few hours of 1 person ) can solve this givin you (very) little better immage @ cost near zero ?? Lets do a little math here, 0.5W/Gh/s @ 50Gh/s = 1.2W/Gh/s @ 120Gh/s. |
