Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $0.49/GH/s

[TheMinex]

david105396 as you will get your miner soon I am very interested in some information.

The relationship between temperature and overclocking.
The relationship between vcore (not me lol) and overclocking.
The relationship between temperature and power consumption.

We'r all interested in this, but let me ask you why you'r so sure we'll be able to friendly control you (hups, I mean voltages  ) throug the interface. ( just to speculate between us )
In past posts I rise some questions ( screeenshot showing 80° after 2 min, possibility in psu bottleneck in OC with consequently wasted money for those who keep the psu while compensation scheme appear IN PROGRESS ) thinking that could be usefull ( BA is clearly in develop stage in which tweaks can be possible ).

However I don't expect any answer cause queue is just too long. So tierd.

We just had a breakthrough: The control board is now working as designed.

 

We are now able to deliver full functionality to X1 customers.

 

Please check the below picture showing an X1 miner hashing with the control board at 120Ghash.

[Vcore]

Of course I can't be sure but software control of vcore is quite standar in modern computers and problems appart it is clear that prosperos are beautifuly designed so it wouldn't surprise me if they had it. At the very least they should have it but not exposed in the interface if just because it is a convenient way for them to do a late change without changing resistors. Anyway if they don't have it or if the range is insuficient I would also like knowing wich pwm controller they use ;-).

The psu might limit the oc but I am meaning to go sub 0 and I hope that means a significant reduction in leakage and I hope that it might be enough to offset the increase due to higher frequency (if those things love vcore then we are screwed as the relationship with power draw is quadratic at the least).
Also it would be hard finding more powerful power suplies, it would be expensive and if you have to pay electricity it would be too expensive if it is going to be over 4500W per X3.

I hold hopes of getting answers because it is David's personal miner. And I don't see why wouldn't he want to test it and share the results with us.

Not sure what that means.  Does it mean there will be LCDs and the X-1s won't require RPi's anymore?

How does that affect shipping time, will it delay it even more?

BA, always talking in puzzles never giving straight answers.

[AchrafB]

since you start making this thread shitty with frivolous accusations and stupid humor that has created a kind of endless trilogy
BA you must rearrange the blow and please don't confuse businness, emotions and especially in regards to your serious orders when some are on the verge of bankruptcy by relying on bitcoin and You because personnaly i dont give a fuck about X1 LCD and the damn interface I buy a functional Minions for only task is hashing :/ made things happen in the interest of TIME of everyone

The RPI was only temporary until the control board worked as designed,so no they won't require a RPi. They have shown before the LCDs and the uploading of the Android software for,so yeas the X-1s will have the LCDs. This should speed up production. The case and wifi are still unclear,they should have the plastic case by now.

How about an update for the X3 customers.

[primer10]

I would have them deliver with RPi than waiting for them to fix their control board (which by the way was not communicated nor announced prior)

I am glad that tracyhh has gotten the police involved, it's way beyond the time this should have happened.

Sorry but this show absolute ignorance about civil and criminal code and how the law works.

exactly what you think will do the police? Arrest someone? close the factory? freeze the BA assets? in which accusations?
 
God knows I'm not a BA fanboy and I'm pissed off just like everybody in this thread but please use your brain and common sense.

Our X1 is out for delivery, should have it within 2-3 hours.

I also have confirmation the new X1 controller is working, and according to BA the full X1 backlog will be built tested and shipped within the next 2-3 weeks. Performance with the new controller seems to peak around ~130gh.

Police, Android... Just keep talkin between u and let codes and bitcoin laws outside cuz like a see only a minority here are really suffering from what happen with this trolls collectif and Holy BA

Got that right. Too bad I just got off... ~40 hours of flying or so so im not even sure what time zone im in.

[sorehammer]

What do you make off the news about the fixed control board bobsag

Remember pics once you get it, or it didn't happen!   

Eager to see to what these guys look like in the wild, dam a painful 4 month delay!

The way you worded that it sounds like this is a single unit? I heard rumors there was a mass shipment enroute to you over at Minersource. Can you confirm this?

[bobsag3]

So how many X-1's do you have on their way to you that have the Rpi in them?

Did they comment anything about compensation?

One.
Please stop asking about the compensation, as they have stated multiple times it will be address after shipment.

They had told me they were very close to getting the controller working, so I elected to have them returned and have full working X1s sent to me.

Pictures/Video of our X1 will go up as soon as we have it.

[sorehammer]

Ahh no x1's in the post bummer but full working ones are better, so great call chap

[bobsag3]

I thought it was confirmed that a mass shipment was en route to you guys?  Is this not happening now or was it ever happening?

See above quote.

Double post from ecointalk.org. But yay. :)

> Your order has been completed. Thank you for choosing us.

Order #576
    Status: Complete
    Date: 08 Nov 2013, 16:05
    Payment method: Bank Transfer
    Shipping method: DHL

I'm not sure where I stood in the queue, although I am fairly certain that I ordered quite early and paid ASAP. (I have a fuzzy memory of reading somewhere that payment arrival date might matter.)

(Disclaimer: I also let customer support know, just in case it might matter, that nothing else was relevant to me -- case or no case, Pi or no Pi, LCD or no LCD, GUI or no GUI, PSU or no PSU... just as long as it would hash at anything near the stated rate, I would accept it. I cannot say if my "anything that hashes" request influenced anything from a shipment perspective.)

I will report back as soon as I receive notice from DHL, and of course as soon as I get the shipment cleared in customs and the hardware out of the box. Could take a while, still.
