Still very attractive at $1.91/GH/s.
i'm holding out for $0.10/GH/s in a monster sized ASIC board... ho-hum.

I'm just hoping for another delay thus delaying batch 2 then allowing me to get my money back and reinvesting in something that exists like magic beans or a unicorn farm.

Just for reference, will update when this is resolved...
I requested a refund from MinerSource last Friday, was immediately told it would get done and mailed on Monday or Tuesday of this week, and I would receive a tracking number. I have still not received a tracking number and have emailed twice asking for a status update. I have no idea if it is in the mail or not, or the status of my refund. Bobsag, please look into my email inquiry.
Thanks,
DebitMe
Can you only receive a refund where they send you a check? Even if you paid through wire transfer?

- Completed the all X1 and X3 hashboards designs sent to factory, waiting for final prototypes to be manufactured
- Everything on the control board is working proplery, we're writing the software
- Approved the X3 PSU, mass production has started.
- The mold for mass production of the heatsink has been completed and we have received the first batch of heatsinks. See gallery.
- We have started sending the advance payments for components.
- Received X3 case prototype
- We are evaluating more than 20 fan types to determine which provides better airflow with lower noise; Now that we have all parts in place for X3 we have purchased a smoke machine and conducting tests on the fans.
- More work has been conducted on our website payment system.
- Pool design is continuing according to the plan.

Click here for pictures Thanks for the update, so.. are you able to ship the X1's to your customers in May or can we expect another delay? Any chance for increased hashrate, is it still 100GHs for one X1?

if they get the minion by the week of 14 maybe is possible. At least they can start mining in his own farm and start compensate us with cloud hashing, refunds etc..

Boards don't take that long. That's something that can be turned around in a couple days. Finding a fan they like and getting the manufacturer to ramp up to send them enough is going to take longer than the boards.
I'd be more concerned about the chips coming in and being not-right. Like what recently happened to BFL. That set them back 5 weeks or so. If BA has that happen, game over...
Their previous update has said that the chips may be 4 or 5 days later than they wanted. So it's already a sure bet that we're talking May 5th or 6th if everything backs up because of that. Sticking to their existing time line.
I think it's possible, but again, everything has to go perfect which hasn't happened to anyone except KNC, and then they had a number of quality issues on the first units that left the building.

Fans are plenty full in china damn that's where they are all made, let alone pretty much every other electrical component they will need, so supply shortages won't be the issue, The minion on the other hand will be, no one ever gets the first run right so delays will be there if anywhere but they won't say that's the problem. my rant over for the week

Keep up that happened already, they are on Chip attempt no. 2, supposedly the first one wasn't fast enough to be competative.

You know, I was sitting here today and thinking. What would complete my day and kick start my weekend. Just then I got an email notifying me of a new post here, and what do you know. This insightful and unbelievably awesome post made me realize that that is exactly what I've been missing. So, I would like to thank you for such an unbelievable contribution to this thread. May your wisdom bring our ASICs to us at a much faster rate then it was possible just a few short minutes ago.

I for one am inspired to call up BA and offer any accounting services...pro bono of course...that they may need in order to get this done faster. Simply amazing! Lol, I did.., but I am only IT side. My accounting is not so good.

Any delay beyond May 1st has to come with a HUGE hashrate upgrade. Like 300%
