Does the X-1 come plug and play ready to mine, or do we need to buy anything additional?

EDIT: 
Awesome. thanks man!

You have to setup a pool from wich you want to mine..

I figured that much.  i was just concerned with having to by additional things to even get started.  I am new to the asic world and as I was looking I noticed some didnt come with PSU and others you needed some extra random part like that one miner needed a PSU jumper.  If I am going to drop the money I want it to be ready to roll.

Do you mean you have to have a local stratum set up like the block erupter cube or just point it to the pool u want to mine?

These will come with PSU's built in, but you will need to plug them into your network somehow.  Depending on how many you order you may need a switch (if there are too many or you already have stuff plugged into your router's extra ports).  You will also need 1 ethernet cable for each one.

Understood, thank you all for the info.  Once some of my alts pump I will likely order a few.  I am only a little hesitant about what KnC is going to announce along with ASICMiner.  But I am sure they will not be as cost effective for us little guys like Black Arrow.

Don't bother preordering. Huge risk and no benefit. Just wait until BA is shipping to make your decision.  It is likely asicminer gen3 devices will be out by then.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure what the consensus was.

Exactly !!!!  Good advice jimmothy !!!!!! I think we'll get a surprise from Bitmain as well 

IF Blackarrow starts showing proof,IE: working chips & working prototypes,THEN think about "pre-ordering".Until then don't bother..............

[ChuckBuck]

Totally agree.  The pre-order model should be outdated already.  Delays and scammy companies leave customers with a bad taste.

I'm also awaiting announcements and upcoming release dates for AM and Bitmain, as well as, keeping my BA pre-orders(might as well as this point).

The question of where Black Arrow are located has been vociferously debated for at least the last three months on this thread.

It's easy really, if they were legit they'd publish where they are located but they don't, do they?

 

Ask bobsag3,he visited them back in late Nov/early Dec

Could I get some advice?
I ordered through Minersource but decided to try to get a refund. They agreed but I made a dumb mistake and actually entered the Minersource x-1 payment address (from the Coinbase receipt) as the address to refund the bitcoins, not my actual bitcoin address. Minersource in effect refunded the bitcoins to their own address. I realized my error and wrote back with my proper refund address.

But its been 3 days and no reply from minersource. What do?

PM Bobsag3. He'll probably be able to fix it. Other than that, just keep on 'em.

Be glad you didn't give them some 3rd party address. The coins would be gone!

[LennonNZ]

Very good LennonNZ So am i right to say that Alexandru Ion Sovu is the guy that is in control of my hard earned cash and he lives in that address in the uk !

My information is fact (not rumours) Taken from the Hong Kong companies office and you can take it as you will. All the information is in the PDFs

He is the Director of Black Arrow the company but the owner is a British Virgin Islands company which I have not gone any further with. It may be the same.

Hello,
Is X3 have software onboard like Antminer S1 ?
I need miner that can :
1. Sometimes my place got power down for 10-15 min, I wish it can power up themselves after my place's up
2. X3 can change pools if the priority pool is down
3. In the end I need miner that I can sleep without worrying it

Thank you...
