Prototypes eh? I'd say they built a few more than were strictly necessary for prototyping purposes.
Do you suppose customers' preorder funds paid for those?

They arent prototypes, DZ mistyped. Those are customer's paid for BF boards. |

So nothing of the 28nm tech other than a FPGA simulator? |

BlackArrow has a Bitfury mining farm. Oh now I really believe they can deliver a working ASIC. Certainly if you buy an ASIC miner that immediately gives you the ability to design one from scratch. That's all the proof I need! Lol.  |

Ok, I placed an order with MinerSource for 2 X1's a couple of weeks ago, sent two emails since to the required address for payment details and still yet to Receive any info also Pm'd bobsag3 several times, was told in PM that it will be taken care of Post haste, never received any further information, all I have at the moment is the original email for the order with Matts email to send a request to for payment details. I give up on this waste of my time.

I haven't heard from anyone for a week now.  Got 2 X3's @ $4,899.30 Now my order was screwed up and they both show @ 5,949.15 each with only $1,049.85 discount applied. They already send me an invoice for 1st unit at correct price which was paid. I just cant get the correct price and updated invoice on the 2nd unit. Getting a little frustrated especially with all the BTC fluctuations lately on top of that. |

Wishful thinking on my part then Thanks for the pics bASIC built nice FPGAs but couldn't deliver an ASIC, so being Devils advocate here... you could scam a pre-order by using customer funds to build/buy equipment to mine Bitcoins on until they demand a refund with hosting as a cover. Did you check the company accounts to see where the customer funds are and if they really do have 70% of $5m needed to create an ASIC? If I was putting my neck on the line, with US authorities, by going into business with someone from China I'd certainly want to see their accounts. Thanks for the pics, and good luck everyone. p.s. hosting ASICs will one day be the death of Bitcoin, it's not a decentralized network! |
