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

[bobsag3]

Arrived this morning, currently hashing @ 1.05T-1.15T at 1Ghz clock. Have not tried 1100 or 1200 yet.

Wattage? Did you get more than 1 sample X3?

Looks like ~850-890 at the wall. Got a single 1 module X3 for testing eval and writing our guide, several X3s went out direct to customers on Saturday as well. I didnt want to take any units away from paying customers till my orders are hit in the Q.

Sir when you say SEVERAL went out do you mean more then two like when they shipped out two x-1's and tried to say they were mass shipping and they were employee reseller units also ?

[sirsmokesalot]

BS they are shipping X-3's and just didn't post notice anywhere! That's another lie these scumbags are spouting.  Do we really believe that anytime they had remotely good news they got on their main account just to say it, even though they have the lowlife David for that, and probably the biggest news, shipment of their flagship device starts, and they just don't update anywhere.  I am yet again calling BS.

Also, unless your sueing for some other reason, they probably won't need to be able to produce that evidence as it is in your right to request a refund at any point.  Good luck to you sir, hit em hard.

Ya think?  X-3's are going out and they simply haven't had 30 seconds to post that here or or their forum.

More likely that if they do start shipping they won't let people know or provide tracking #'s so they can't contact the shipper to stop the shipment.

IMO, every move has been tactical.  if X-3's are going out and they haven't let people know it's because they don't want people to know.  More likely, it's a misdirection statement, with just a hint of truth.

they've shipped 1 to somebody, therefore X-3's are shipping, or something along those lines.  they have been very adept at looking like they're telling the truth while in reality telling half of it, at best.

"we're on time or a little ahead last I heard"  anyone remember that one?

This is exactly right. Big fucking deal. OOOOHHHH ONE x-3 and look at that 80c? REALLY? Talk about space heater, i thought my antminers were hot @ 43c. All they are doing is patch working this shit together as they go. It is also complete bullshit that they are shipping in order of payment. How could bob have placed orders with them before they even had a reseller in the works. Everything about this has been so ridiculous. No time to post a 30 second thing on here, or their own forums, bullshit.

I remember them being downright ignorant about how there is no question in their mind that they would make the feb release.

Again, thank you.  You are the only one who has really bothered to post ANYTHING at all.

Black Arrow is a shame of a company, they need to learn about communication with their customers

Math lessons about the temps...  That is chip temp...  Energy creates heat not chip...  I have a Habanero running with 95C temps on the chip and the room is perfectly cool.  So more Watts used the more heat is produced.  Please don't be stupid people.

Does that make 80C any cooler? Heat is just a waste product of inefficiency.

well i got an email from MS saying that my order is in the next batch of X1's. i guess pigs will start flying soon.

[heslo]

Able to reply to my PM now @bobsag3? Or you still at that conference?

Just curious, do you have a range about where your order number is?

bob, any idea when you will get to order 1549 out of curiosity??

Bobsag, Am I correct in thinking that lower order numbers were placed earlier than higher order numbers and therefore will also be in the next shipment?

Your order is an X3 I presume?

Our order numbers have nothing to do with actual shipping order. Due to the numerous ecom platform changes and issues, we are shipping off a master paid-by date list, that has order numbers all over the place. For example, we have orders in the 12xx range that will ship before 9xx, etc etc.

Can you check your emails and get back to me please. Thanks.

Bobsag3, how far along are you with batch1 X-1 deliveries half way 3/4? Are there more in bound from BA or do you have all your X-1s in hand?

Bout 1/3 done with all X1 orders or so. I have another shipment coming this week, I may also be traveling out to SZ to help them get shipped out faster.

So there's no way BA can get all x1s & x3s out in 9 days! I'd say September.

EDIT: So 2 shipments in two weeks to be 1/3 of the way done to clear just the x1s. At this rate, it will take about 4 more shipments to finish the x1s. Now, the x3s will take longer to construct, because there are more parts involved.  And that's just for MS orders. Hopefully they got another production factory lined up.

Our 2nd shipment was 4x the size of the first one, exactly a week apart. I was told the rest of my orders for the X1 will be shipped to me by the end of the week.

Here's the BS spouted by BA as an autoresponse to any questions (I didn't ask about a refund, I asked when they were going to send my bloody X1!)

Dear ########,

Currently we are unable to raise the compensation more than announced previously. The final decision will be made after we complete all deliveries in order to calculate the yield and our final costs.

Once the all processes such as the hosting and refunds have been accommodated. Kindly understand that we need to prioritize according to customer's orders and services; Hence the compensation is also included but this will be on the later part. Rest assured that all has been taken noted off and once all considerations have been made; It will be discussed and it will be announced soon.

You will be directly notified with the shipping details once your order is already scheduled for dispatch. To understand the dispatch process - this is done when booking is made with your chosen courier, we can not give you any details as to the ETA unless the courier had already booked your order. Also please understand that our shipment queuing is entirely different from their process. The only time we can send you the exact details of your shipment is only when the courier had also shared the same information with us.

Currently we are unable to raise the compensation more than announced previously. The final decision will be made after we complete all deliveries in order to calculate the yield and our final costs.

We will send you the tracking number as soon as we will book your package with DHL.

Looking forward to mining with you soon!

Please feel free to contact us anytime for further questions, thank you.

Sincerely,
Sylvia
