Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $0.49/GH/s

[unois]

Hi, I write from Spain, so I apologize for my English.

I received today my Prospero X1, but is a model without rPi and not sent the SD card. How I can get a copy?

Thanks

You do not need a SD card or a Pi, your unit has the control board preinstalled.

Take a look here:

Thanks

It's simple really. Minersource is subject to lawsuits since they're in the US. If they go down because of BA, no other reseller will ever touch them.

Bobsag has said that all of batch 1 will be shipped next Monday, that's the absolute last straw for me in terms of dates and leveraging the risk in accepting these units and what I think compensation will be.  No tracking on Monday = Refund email will be sent.  (Bobsag, if you think it may be Tuesday, let us know now and I'll give you a day grace period, otherwise there isn't much I can do come Monday with no tracking)  I think I have been pretty reasonable up to this point, but as these dates that, "all of batch 1 will be shipped by XX" continue to be proclaimed, I am losing interest in these machines.  Their expected ROI is negative as it is, the only saving grace is a compensation package that is worth it, but hope for anything worth while is quickly fading, and the risk is getting past my tolerance level.

Bobsag, any news on the shipment? How many units are you  getting Monday? All of batch 1? Simple questions, simple answers. How about tracking picture like you showed last time? Otherwise conspiracy theories dance in our heads; "maybe they're  getting the shipment Friday and are mining the weekend", "maybe they're only getting 25 units again", "maybe they're not getting any". You can see where I'm going. Just want a little info...

I'd like an answer from BA: When do you plan to ship all X1 orders that were placed with you prior to Minersource placing orders?

One thing to remember is that BA order numbers are not relevant to Miner Source Order number.

MS order numbers are for any items. So a person who has order #1238 for an X1 that might be order #14 for BA.
So if your order is #125 MS might have 100 of the previous orders using order number #750, 830, 950, 1250 etc...

Also MS might have ordered 200 right away to resell and have 200 orders under order BA order #5.

So someone who ordered 3 month latter from MS might get there product first because MS did a mass order when the product came out.

I Doubt that for each order through MS is transferred to BA. MS does mass purchases then resells them.

These are orders placed prior to Minersource even being a BA reseller. Although I suppose it is possible that Minersource made BA purchases prior to officially becoming a reseller. Maybe bobsag3 could verify that?

Minersource purchased on "any day" in January 2014. So, what about other BA customers, who purchased and paid back in 2013?

I purchased from Minersource December 14th 2013 and my order# is 1197, and it looks like there are many people here who ordered from Minersource and have lower order numbers than me.

I was going to purchase 2 from Minersource back in November? back when BTC was at $1100 then it droped down to 500 and back up to 800 so I purchased mine when the BTC went back up to $800.

Minersource order numbers are not Black Arrow order numbers. It is like iOS and Android. Or Windows and Linux.

I think it also is tied to who paid first over who ordered first.  But yes, the Minersource order numbers have no correlation with the BA order numbers.

Probably 'whose payment was received first'

[Majixagi]

Yeah, paid in full BTC prior to Minersource becoming a reseller and no shipping yet, yet Minersource has theirs. There are several people in this boat.
Why is this so hard for people to understand, and why are people trying to make excuses for BA? All the BS above about order numbers and payment methods is pretty obvious.

[sorehammer]

Minersource may have had some but not all of their customers have had them delivered so we are all still waiting watching difficulty rise and watching roi way way down the road disappearing.

I'm not making excuses.  I think you got screwed.  Oh well.  I'm still waiting on an X3 and I feel screwed too.  So you're just another member of the bend over and take it club.  Welcome!  There are snacks in the main hall.  We'll be having a square-dancing competition tonight.  The royal reaming should commence tomorrow after the update.

This is my first post so I can understand if it comes across as a shill and I don't know of anyway to assure anyone otherwise. Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered directly from BA using pay pal for the brief period that they accepted it. I received my x-1 about 20 minutes ago and have it up and hashing. I had an order number under 100 so If you ordered directly from BA there may be hope that you will get your x-1 soon.

Someguy4214, in what country (or continent) do you live? How far from China?
Had you got a delivery tracking notice in advance?

I live on the west coast of the USA. I received a tracking number from BA 2 days ago but the email went to my spam folder. The delivery came in two separate DHL trucks one for the miner one for the cord.

Thanks for that info. The lack of info from BA is incredible.

I hope everyone gives their review here after they run fire them up.

Black Arrow has a proven record of successfully manufacturing and delivering Bitcoin mining hardware on schedule at competitive prices.

I would say that is not exactly true.

Are you sourcing the ASIC chip from Avalon? Or are you making your own ASIC chip?

blackarrow will you elaborate please?
