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

15 months and counting... At this point getting a package in the mail from BA would be like winning the lottery.

If you mean a lottery in which the grand prize is the huge sack of crap, then you're right.

At this point, unless you pay less than $0.08/kWh, the miners will cost you more than you earn from the second you plug them in.

So I've just returned from a short trip to Paris. My friend took me to maison du bitcoin! A nice little hangout where you can buy btc etc. Just before I left I started chatting to the guy who worked there. Asked him if he mined, he said "if you look over there we have a few miners..."

What do I see? 3 fucking black arrow miners!!! He said they ordered 20, received 6 and 3 were broken! Not to mention the 9 month delay he had. Well it's been 13 months for me and nothing!!!

@bennybong - i am on the same boat as you....still no news on my X3.

I'm british, and I didn't sat it was wonderful! I had my bag stolen, saved a woman from being followed by 2 rapey guys and broke up a fight right outside where I was staying! It wasn't great, but it is a beautiful city!

Haha, sounds about right :-) what about the tramps all about, like at the eifel tower :-) Copenhagen is a beautiful city, Berlin is a beautiful city, Paris....... Can't agree there but beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose :-)

still waiting for BA to host my X3. they are just too slow.

[SunnyIgor]

I have finally recieved my x1's
not x1.5 like they had promised.

Funny thing, when I ssh into them it says last login is July 2014

ha that is the evidence. looks like they've been playing with us.

[ElGrandJefe]

Having exhausted all other avenues, I think I've found a way to get BA once and for all.

If you live in the U.S. or the EU and received your miners directly from BA, and are interested in helping, please contact me by PM.

still waiting on minersource.net for a reply about my order or replacement, refund or compensation. 

The minersource address as seen on their webstore when searched for on google maps shows vacant looking and unmarked rent a unit/storage and looks like it may have been that way for a long time.  no branding on outside like the neighbouring companies there.

Finally got my X3 delivered today.. Beautiful gear, such a shame about the delay.  Is it me or is the BA site down for quite a while?

[MrTeal]

I know this is kind of rheotorical, but I do try to leave accurate feedback and modify it if things change.
I left the following negative feedback for blackarrow awhile ago.

Have failed to deliver to most of their customers, delete any critical posts from a self-moderated thread, and refuse to deal with their issues.

Blackarrrow recently left me negative feedback stating the following.

blackarrow -12: -3 / +0(0)   2015-01-10   15.00000000      Accusations are false. We have honored our contract to all our customers.

Would you the customers say blackarrow has honored their contracts with you?

Note even close.  You are fully justified in leaving the feedback you did.

I'm still waiting for answers from them too.  Thing is, they have had my order for months now (hosting my X3) but they were supposed to send it to me a couple weeks ago.  I think they'll just get to it when they feel like it.  I know they're not holding on to them for personal gain, since they are no longer worth turning on.

Some of the industrialized complexes in China have government-paid electricity, and some folks have put mining gear there. Food for thought.

Either way, they shouldn't be holding onto gear. Glad I didn't get in on this back in Aug 2013. Sorry to see the pain..

I frankly think you should petition the mods to remove BA's feedback. I've been on the wrong side of your ire a few times, and I can't say you were ever wrong. Dammit

But banter aside, it appears they have not honored the vast majority of their contracts, and have half assed it on the rest.

[Syke]

Less than 5% of orders is yet to be delivered. If you have not received your order, please PM me your order number.

When will you begin compensation shipments?

Thankfully, I was too broke to get into this mess. But I have watched avidly, and frankly, sir, your word has been less than trustworthy. I'd need a LOT more proof before I change or even modify my opinion. In the time it took you to sort of begin shipping half working units, two generations of Asic equimpement came and went, Scrypt asics became commonplace, and your device became an expensive incendiary device boondoggle paperweight. The only way anyone will break even on your machines, assuming no exploding capacitors or other pyrotechnic events, is if they have access to free electricity.

This is such a far cry from your bold promises when begging for our money as to constitute fraud in and of itself. But as I said, I was too poor to get in on it. So while I am disgusted and appalled by how you have behaved, I personally have no stake in it, nor any need for legal recourse. But companies that act in this manner are a blight on the world of commerce, and particularly damaging to the fledgling cryptocurrency movement. You should be ashamed. Were I in your shoes, I would live in a house with no mirrors, because I could not face that man.
