Release dates on BA have changed to March/10/14 No word if this is batch 2 or not,but seeing how tape out hasn't happen yet

Update from BA: "At this point, buyers are still in the first batch. The bump in date is when everyone who buys now can expect their units to be shipped."

Yeah I talked to the support, said its the same batch but just different shipping date since they cant ship them all at once I suppose. Something about already 1,500 paid orders in queue so they are moving the next shipping to then.

First date.

Hey Bob, I wired money on Monday and nothing has changed to paid on my account yet, I understand that this is a manual process, but when can we expect updates for wire transfers?

I have over 20 wires still "pending", I update wires twice a day, ones that clear in the morning and ones that clear before I go to sleep.
Let me know if your order has not cleared by tomorrow.

Ok will do, thanks for being vigilant.

Bob, are you able to check for status of payment that was made to BAS?

I wired my payment over on the 16th this month & the status still showing as "Processing payment". Should I be concerned?

I can check the status of tickets etc, but not payments :/

My Wire transfer payment took 7 business days to fully process. When it did my order was changed to Processed. I would not worry since you are still within the time frame. It can takeupto 10 days from what they told me when I opened a ticket with Black Arrow.

We have just received new heatsink samples. These are fixing several issues from the first version. They now fit in a U3 case and are a little bit longer. We have also have a custom mounting base that will allow us to put 10 minions in a 360mm line.

Thanks for the assuring reply. I'll keep a look out on the order status in 10 business days from the wire transfer date then.

When can we see an x-1 or x-3 prototype?

Did i read this correctly on the website, If i place an order today it will take almost a year (10/3/2014) to receive a working product? If that is the case, that would be one hell of a scary purchase. i dont even want to begin to do the math on what the difficulty will be a year from now. 100 GH/s will be the equivalent of a 333MH/s usb today by that time. Can someone confirm that is in fact the case, the 10/3/14 availability date as listed here ( http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/prospero-x-1.html )

quoted for truth. By October 2014, we're hoping to be done with batch 1

[Atomar]

All irrelevant now anyways, just realized that BA is holding on a 10 unit minimum order, AND now confirming that expected delivery is almost a year away (October 2014) as quoted. Chance of ROI EVER is now .00000000000000000000001 %. I do give you an A+ for efforts in design and manufacture, but a 10 unit min. order and an almost year wait time, there are about 15 companies out there with better products and much sooner delivery.

No. March 10 is the confirmed date. He was just saying that by October they hope to be done with batch 1. 10 unit min order can be avoided by using the reseller minersource.net

Makes much more sense now. will be ordering one in the next few minutes.

Does anyone have any information or know what should we expect from US customs when ordering from BA?
