Dont remember if I posted this last week:

Im gonna refresh your memory NO you didnt post that last week. But thanks for that. lol 

In some ways Bob, I kind of feel bad for you, as Im sure you are getting as burned on this as we are. Probably even more so. I actually didnt order with you anyway.

Any word on the X3s? I thought of Black Arrow when I saw this company offering 6TH for $5K: http://www.coindesk.com/details-spondoolies-tech-new-bitcoin-mining-asic-leaked-online/

Now that company is legit.  Spondoolies Tech launched, took pre-orders, and delivered on time, no snafus.

Miners work as proposed, and they communicate frequently on their forum thread!

That SP30 is one sexy ass beast!  6 TH/s for $5k and only 2400 Watts!!!!

They never took preorders before the sp30. They have only sold BTO.

And you know who else had no problem shipping in-stock/non-theoretical hardware? If you guessed blackarrow you'd be right.

Just say no to preorders. Rbox is about as cheap as the sp30 and shipping in a few weeks not a few months.

And you'll get it in August if you already ordered it, maybe, otherwise September or later when the price per gh will be twenty-five cents.

They sold preorders for SP10 as well as from stock.  More like a pre-sale, since it was more like weeks not a long time before delivering.

Rbox is a piece of shit.  It's 3000 watts for 2.4 TH/s compared to 2400 watts for 6 TH/s for the Rockerbox.  Also for the Rbox you'll need either 4 PSU's or 2 huge power supplies which aren't included.  And it's a minimum requirement to order 4 units, not 1 or 2 only.

Asicminer shit the bed for Gen 3, awful efficiency.

Shorter time frame than Black Arrow.

BA really isn't in the conversation anymore.  Bitmain and S-T are the leaders.

Should be lumped in with BFL and Hashfast discussion.

Yes, because you were right on the money with BA.

I knew there would likely be delays (actually expected underperforming hw but I was wrong).

You sound like someone who has never preordered a miner before.

You sound like someone that's wrong about alot of things 100% of the time.

Bobsag3 what purpose does the usb port serve ?

Bobsag3 what purpose does the usb port serve ?

Good question, i think for a wifi dongle? Maybe wrong?

[tempestb]

That Minersource sticker is going to upset the precision heat vectors from doing their job and burn the unit out early.  BA ran a number of simulations but didn't account for the magnetic field variations of the glue between the sticker surface and metal casing.  That will cause a chain reaction and a tachyon pulse will emit static-field portal generation, and you may find yourself in the stone age running from dinosaurs.  Be wary!

Bobsag3 are the full spec x1's going to come with the wifi please.
