I finally can end this nightmare for the experience with BA... I got my refunds by BTC the amount I paid for my order last year. yes,in my heart it's not fair,but some better than none...
I will never do preorder anymore,mining is the lessness and meaningless work in the world...
good luck everyone! hope all you can got want you want.. for the customers here,I want to say,we all are victims...we are cheated by this bitcoin game..wake up !!! go for your work , go for your friends and family ...forget about bitcoin if you can got out of this stuff like me now...
anyone need help or infos can contact me anyway.. regards
While it's good to hear at least one person got a refund. Are you on crack? sorry,I am not very good at English ,what does on crack means? It's like Jack Daniels on steroids.

We've got an industry here where customers of the companies involved are the competition and are being dealt with accordingly.

All my block eruptors are off-line and all my GPUs are going off-line tonight.
Thanks to Black Arrow I've lost thousands in this venture and I'm no longer in the mining business.
If you have been using block eruptors and GPUs then you haven't actually been in the mining business for a while. No not that long, I started in October last year. It was profitable enough that I decided to go all-in and get some real hashing power in November. It's now June and I'm up Shit Creek without a paddle.

5. Shipping dates have come and gone. Will this one be any different? If they do deliver will customers be provided with compensation for the increased network difficulty?

2Th/s in hardware and 6Th/s in cloud hashing for 4 months per X3.

Will he be buying PeerCoins with those Bitcoins?

My block eruptors are off-line. I'm all for changing the encryption to a CPU only algorithm.
Good, you're on board. Now we just need all the miners who have invested millions in ASICs to agree to make that investment worthless and we can make it happen. Considering that all the ASIC companies have decided to keep those millions and not deliver any product I don't see too many miners being upset. This would not necessarily cause ASICs to become bricks. If enough time was given between the announced change and the hard-fork current miners could ROI. The established chip makers such as AMD and Intel don't seem to have any issues delivering product.

4x network difficulty means 8Th/s per X3.

possibly, they work like communists Apparently the owners are based in the UK the birthplace of communism. "The Communist League was an international political party established in June 1847 in London, England" -- Wikipedia

seriously if someone made a pic of a device with electronics inside, do people just throw, not give.. but throw money in said companies direction ?
I saw them flogging BitFurries and believed they had the knowhow to produce an ASIC. They appeared to be a real company delivering real product. In many places it's unlawful to fish with live bait and barbed hooks.it used to sadden me... now it frustrates me...
anyway if this company delivered now would people still make a profit ?? or is it another one of those companis selling expensive door stops ?
The network difficulty is now 4x what it was on February 24th. This means that 8TH/s today is the equivalent of 2TH/s back then. When the today number gets big enough it's a door stop or a space heater if you're one of the lucky Siberian customers.

The hash boards for the X3's are now being made into X2's for a hash farm. How does this work for X3 customers?
Based on the last update X3 customers don't even have anything in production.

Hashing at 2TH/s starting Feb 24th is about BTC17 worth of coins today.
with a compensation of ... 4TH (2 UNIT) per X3, this will cost them, let's say 4 BTC (if you don't count the R&D, the X3 miner shall cost to them 2 BTC max) so this makes 13 BTC pr X3 how many X3 have been sold ? 2000 ? more ? lets say 2000 this makes 26000 BTC / APPROX 14 M$ today ... even if they give us 6TH for one X3 they could make 14M$ (if there are 2000 X3 waiting) then, with that you can add the normal benefits that a company does in selling products... it would be naive to think they lost all this time with asic chips right under their nose doing nothing ... If we believe their story about the tapeout delays, one that was admittedly their choice to squeeze out a bit more power. Then it looks like May 15th would be the time they could have started a solo mining farm with the X2. Is there proof other than an admittedly hacked verisilicon email account that the chips weren't forged last year? Is there a date stamp on the minion?

Holly S... ! you found a little snack that titans or even Gods eat ! imagine the size of the scaled person for that gummy bear... I'll buy that for a $1. It's been proven that many dinosaurs couldn't even stand up in today's gravity. Everything was bigger including man. I guess they photoshopped people into that image to make it more dramatic.
