Religion/faith/wishful thinking. He's probably making decisions based on this belief, so to admit he might be wrong would be to acknowledge that he doesn't know everything. Which he obviously does.

Man I'm just tired of ignorance today..

So.....when's the next Black Arrow production update?   

I need me some renders and pictures badly!

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<sales@blackarrowsoftware.com>:
No MX or A records for blackarrowsoftware.com

www.BlackArrowSoftware.com works for me, ecointalk.net doesn't though.

Looks like their DNS is messed up.

http://whois.domaintools.com/blackarrowsoftware.com

If you go to http://cachecheck.opendns.com/ it lists some IP addresses for them, one of which leads to their old store closed page. http://91.205.173.3/store/

Im not delusional, if you think we will see 50,000$ a Bitcoin you are out of your mind. I would LOVE for you to prove me wrong as i would be rich since im a long term holder.

You have to consider the relative strength of the dollar you list as well. Few people see a future that doesn't involve a significant amount of inflation.

[TechByPC]

I wouldn't worry any more (yet) than we already are. It could be easily explained as a website move that just wasn't planned very well. Although, lack of planning could be seen by some as a pattern.

Reseller status of XBtek has been revoked.
Black Arrow has revoked the reseller status of Xbtek.
If any customer has placed orders with this company please contact them immediately for a refund as Black Arrow will not ship any miners to them.

Who the hell is Xbtek?

hehe all I found was a eBay member and a website deleted in 2013

Hell, Xbtek was never announced on Black Arrow's site, of which is now down.

I think they were the Russian resellers . BA announced them back in Jan or Feb

well, is a little bit off-topic but listen: I trade stocks, commodities, Forex,  physical gold/silver, futures... and in my portfolio BTC is in the side of the physical gold.
Exist many reasons for think in the long run the BTC goes up (at least to 1000 $ for sure  ) but I give to you only two. 1 Fiat money lost value in unstoppable way (you can call it inflation if you want) 2 unlike the paper Gold/Silver electronic markets for now is very difficult or almost impossible take huge short positions against BTC

This is not looking good.. I have a feeling the chips came back bad and we're in for another delay.. either that or they completely disappeared.

No need to worry. Like everyone else with a Linux server, BA have been sorting out the OpenSSL bug.  I guess it didn't go too smoothly.  Search twitter for "OpenSSL" and you will see the mayhem it's caused today.  BitStamp went partially offline too.

Two of my servers were effected.  I managed to update my server with only a few seconds downtime.

There is more about it here, if your interested:
http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/07/massive-security-bug-in-openssl-could-effect-a-huge-chunk-of-the-internet/

[TechByPC]

It is unlikely the SSL issue caused their DNS to fail, their MX entry to be deleted, etc.

I patched a number of Linux machines today. The outage was no slower than bouncing services to take advantage of the new libraries.

[FlappySocks]

Has the IP address changed then?  It was pointed out if you go the http://91.205.173.3/store/ it comes up with a closed sign... but if your running multiple web sites off the same Apache server, than it's just serving up the default page.  www.blackarrowsoftware.com resolves to the same address.

Anyway, I do know they were fixing OpenSSL, because I told them about it, along with everyone else I could think of that hosts web sites.

[TechByPC]

Google DNS doesn't know where it is. OpenDNS has about half their servers thinking it doesn't exist and the other half think it is at the IP I referenced earlier, which is the same one you listed there.

It may be part of a larger DNS problem, but I haven't noticed any other sites experiencing this, not that I am visiting a lot of different sites right now.

[zurg]

I got confirmation about an hour ago that they were working on the OpenSSL bug.
Should be fixed now.
I'll be able to only test fully when I get to work tomorrow.

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,

Update, received an email last Friday saying that the funds should clear into their new bank either that day or yesterday, as of right now I have not received an email with explanations or tracking.  Sent an email earlier today asking for a status update and when I can expect to receive refund.

Will update when I hear more.

+1, very similar, though even less communication.

I notice that MinerSource has a new distribution channel, Microcenter, so I suspect with that and the expos, they're busy (congrats!). I'd sure like to get some resolution though -- bobsag3's been pretty quiet on here for awhile.

I called Matt at minersource and had a great convo with him about this situation. He was more then friendly and helpful. If your having a hard time getting a response via email and support tickets why not just call?

Don't suppose he happened to mention when our Prospero orders will re-appear on this new Minersource website?

[terrapinflyer]

Nah, this was last week it was still on the site then.
