Article 40 Business operators shall, if the commodities and services they supply involve any of the following circumstances, bear civil liability in accordance with the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Product Quality and other relevant laws and regulations, except as otherwise provided in the present Law:

(1) there existing defects in the commodities;

Those who received the X1 test units reported that the units did not function correctly. Problems included incorrect airflow direction, controller shorting on the metal case and software glitches.   

(2) not possessing the properties for use they should possess and no declaration thereabout is made at the time of sale;

See section (6).

(3) not conforming to the standards indicated on the commodities or on the packaging thereof;

Units were stated to include an LCD touch display for the controller.

(4) not conforming to the state of quality indicated by the product description or by physical samples;

Stated 0.5W/Gh then revised to 0.75W/Gh. Reseller indicates it's 1W/Gh at the wall.

(5) producing commodities that have been formally declared by the State to be eliminated or selling commodities that are no longer effective or deteriorated;

Units will be obsolete if and/or when the customer receives them.

(6) commodities sold being short of weight or quantity;

Due to obsolescence of the units 550% in additional hashing power would be required to meet the original promise. Currently only 50% is being offered in the form of incomplete non-functional units requiring additional shipping fees. This also causes a violation of section (2) as the units are non-functional as a result of the missing proprietary PSU.

(7) contents and costs of services being not in conformity with the agreements;

Product was sated to ship around the 24th of February 2014 however dispatch of the units has not occurred to date.

8 - deliberately delaying or unreasonably refusing consumers' requests for repair, remanufacture, replacement, return of goods, makeup for the short commodities, return of payment for goods or services, or compensation for losses;

Refunds refused.

Black Arrow has violated every section of the PRC's consumer protection act. Not to mention fraud over $5000 for taking customers money based on a lie.

Not only is the customer getting the shaft but I'll also assume Black Arrow isn't reporting all the revenue they're generating with the customers ASICs.

China won't be soft on them, if this turns out to be another bitcoin scam.
They especially don't like negative publicity expressed from foreigners...

To be fair, though: it's not that they (at MS or 'minersource.net') were not trying...

They do try their very best, only they get hammered from both sides of the deal here: they got a bunch of Chinese idiots who are not delivering and not keeping their deadlines (most likely in spite of full-mouthed promises before their supplier-retailer deal was awarded and entered into) and then there is **us** on the other side -- rightly frustrated about not getting anything for our pre-paid money! This is what you get from "Globalisation" and outsourcing things to a developing (or threshold) country -- and from "buying Chinese" instead of sourcing your stuff as locally and reasonably as possible!

Minersource's (only) fault here is having entered into some difficult-to-manage deal with overly bold expectations and correspondingly bold marketing claims and promised delivery dates. (And **our** mistake, along the line what you are saying up there, has been **falling for that** although each and everyone of us should know by now that pre-orders do carry that overwhelming potential for frustration.) Still, MS are our counterparty and ought to MAKE GOOD on their obligations under the contract ONE WAY OR THE OTHER:

   (1) by sending immediate REFUNDS where requested,
   (2) by offering some really good compensation (over 100%, as it stands now, is hardly going to cut it -- as one reply to one of my earlier posts correctly stated --, so they would need to throw in AT LEAST one free X1 machine for every customer who still wants one=two for the price of one)
   (3) by learning their lesson and NOT making any such unrealistic promises again in the future. Others know how to manage their projects and what can go wrong; operators such as Spondooliestech or Mining ASICs Tech appear to know their stuff a lot better -- and, this way, do meet their deadlines; MS should, too...

What Minersource should ABSOLUTELY NOT be doing is DELAYING ANY REFUNDS (but they do just that) but REFUND IMMEDIATELY if so requested!
