AntMiner S1-0.5 BTC
Speed: 180 GH/S
Price: 0.5 BTC
Wow they keep getting cheaper and cheaper. So so tempted to buy a few Don't buy. They promised batch 1 orders to be delivered Feb 28, 2014. Then delayed it to April 30, 2014. They still haven't delivered Batch 1 X-3 units. But are already promising batch2 units for next week when they can't even fill orders for batch1. He is talking about buying an ANTMINER from Bitmain. |

I realize that most people are upset about delays and preliminary power specs, but these are some of the risks of preordering. All should have weighed the pros and cons of a preorder and acted accordingly. It was a gamble, that's how most preorders have gone. No ASIC manufacturer has met their delivery date and their specs, why should we think BA would without any problems. This is not a normal business community and is not operated under 'normal' business rules. Everybody who put down money should have done some research and realized this. We're not ordering a pc from Dell. There was a big possibility that shit could go wrong.
Also, I don't think they owe us any compensation. No where did they promise to give compensation if they were late. I'm happy with what they are giving us. I realize some people are not. Everybody can't be happy.
No more complaining please. It won't help get our miners quicker. BA knows some people are angry. We knew what we were getting in to, or at least should have. We took a gamble and it didn't turn out like we planned. Plain and simple. No more preorders, this is a way we as customers can end this.
I'm sure BA is frustrated and tired too. I just want a working product. Go BA!

I think most people are mad that they didn't invest all the money they had in Black Arrow into Bitmain, Spondoolies, or Gridseed products instead. If only if I had a time machine to last winter before submitting that order.... |

Actually they did... Black Arrow promises to do its best to offer lower retail price than its competitors and guarantees that in the eventuality of a price decrease before shipment, all preorders will benefit of a proportional increase in hashing power. For this reason the customers who have been with us from the beginning will always receive the best deals. |

I don't want to get in an argument that does no good, but they don't mention any compensation if they're late, just security for early buyers if they sell it at a lower price. |

From the horses mouth: Dear Customers, We just want to let you know that we have not forgotten our promise and we will match in Ghash any competitor at the time of shipping. There is no point in discussing yet what extra hashing power you will receive as we have not started shipping yet. ASIC price match announced in this thread is part of our promise. Regards! |

Unless bobsag3 can work some magic somehow in his trip there for all customers. Doubtful. We get a slap in the face and a "bitch, please". But hey we get a discount next time we order.  |

Yeah they did because they promised it at time of shipping, with others prices decreased and hash rates up the compensation comes from that. Again, it says they will match ghs at time of shipping. Nothing about if they miss the shipping date, you'll get compensation. I was only referring to compensation for being late. Shipping hasn't happened yet, so wait until then to complain. Then you'll have reason to complain about a broken promise if they don't match. EDIT: I don't have that much money in it (3 batch 1 X-1s) because that's what I could afford to lose if it all went to shit, which it had the strong possibility to do. |

Yeah they did because they promised it at time of shipping, with others prices decreased and hash rates up the compensation comes from that. +1 , Most impotant things is delivery date. even BA knew time is real gold in this market. I paid for them to get miner on Feb not May and if they mentioned delivery date was on May, i did not even order.(they did not keep 30 April delivery again) So BA need to compensate us becuase value of miner dropping due to hash rate up |

That risk may be that shipping would be late, or that specs are not met, or even a company disappearing with your money. This is a risk EVERYONE should have been aware of. We should not be shocked that they're late and demand compensation. We didn't lay down our money, or we shouldn't have, with the belief that they would be 100% on time with no problems. It would be naive to think so, based on what has gone on in the past in the bitcoin community. That's all I'm saying. Now, saying all that BA can try to make it right and be a 'good' company in the mining world. And I hope they do, but I never expected them to if things went wrong. I won't post again regarding this topic as it really doesn't help anything. |

No company is going to come out and say "guys ya know if we miss the date we tell you we are shipping by we are going to give you free shit" because that means that is possible that they will miss the fuckin shipping date. That is not how most businesses operate. Most people actually TRY to live up to the standards they set for them selves. They don't putz around for a month setting up a random guys bitfury boards for him. |

Didn't miss that. That does not say anything about them giving you something because they miss deadlines. All that says is exactly what I said, and exactly what the other guy said, is that they will not be charging you more per Gh/s than anyone. In addition to the 1 unit for every 2 ordered, there should be some type of price reduction or something on the units to get them on par with what is available dollar per hash wise. Either that, or you are correct, that there has really been NO compensation package for the delay, and that the additional units given are just to satisfy their "best price per hash" guarantee. |
