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

Let's hope we are in the shipping of this week, or at worse next week ! Anyway most of us are on the same boat...

I was told they didn't get as many X-1s as expected so if you didn't get a tracking number yet it's doubtful you will this week.

As told by Bobsag: Order number has nothing to do with shipping order!
Thad sayed: I have no idea how they pick the customers who get the package ...

Yes,you are correct and I'm looking PAID date,not order #   You said you PAID by wire on Dec/13/13,I paid Dec/3/13 but yesterday i'm told I still have people in front of me.

Who told you this information ...

Originally BA told us we were receiving many more units than we did on this shipment. Because of that, we weren't able to fulfill as many orders."

[eXOBeX]

Neither MS nor BA are prepared to answer the question: which payment date are you now shipping orders for? It's a simple fucking question unless you're using a tombola to pick the orders.

Saying "that's not how shipping order is determined" is not good enough unless it's immediately followed by the process in which shipping order is determined. Quit bullshitting us and give some info to your customers, NOW.

No clear answer means we can only assume this is the process for picking orders for shipment (and also indicates a fucking sham of a business):-

[btcminer84]

I am sure, they will ship "next week".

[DonRavy]

I've just recieved this email from BA:

Dear XXX,

Please be advised that your order is already ready for dispatch and it will be shipped in the next few days.

Sincerely,
Sylvia

While I'm still trying to recover from the laughing fit, it just shows that as soon as they now your order number, they'll try to fuck you over even more. Ah hillarious, especially since my order was to be hosted for 12 months and no delivery should be necessary.

Gotta love BA, all that's missing is the perpetual Benny Hill theme.

[DonRavy]

I'm posting updates about that in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681965 - since BA doesn't have the time or manpower to handle refunds atm, but sure has the time and manpower to delete threads and moderate this topic, I'll keep the details there.

We had to wait for the chips. We had to wait for the boards. We had to wait for the cases. We had to wait for the power supplies (oh no wait bring your own). We had to wait FOR THE F*CKING LCDs

An LCD on a Bitcoin miner which has a lifespan of 4-6 months if we are lucky. And they delayed it again to put a LCD on it.

Talk about arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

[cdog]

Just to put the extent of this miserable failure in perspective, cex.io is already significantly cheaper now than what any batch 1 or 2 customer would've paid.

Wish I had never, ever mined with anything but a GPU. What a huge waste of time and money.

[bobsag3]

and this is maybe the big surprise? we can play angry birds while hashing?

From the looks of it, they're running Android Honeycomb Black Arrow: Staying ahead of the curve...

Nope, runs 4.2.2

[terrapinflyer]

holy crap is that an open offer to me also and is there a limit on how many cause at this point i'd at least have something ?

That's great!

The funny thing here is that I was defending your company and Minersource when PG was flaming this thread. It was not until you announced that you would not be standing by your promise to price match and give proper compensation that I decided to jump ship. So you can call me a troll but at this point it just seems like the pot calling the kettle black.

The fact that you have time to come here and make snarky remarks instead of answering the questions that have been repeatably asked is just more evidence of the level of incompetence that your company exudes.

But please by all means keep it up, its not like you have a reputation to uphold. It is already very clear that you have surpassed BFL in the absolute failure department and are heading full steam to join HashFast in bankruptcy court.

X1s arrived today with LCDs.

Running is my quickly setup chrome browser, next firmware/software update will bundle it all nicely together. Otherwise its a full android 4.2.2 machine with ethernet.

Wow,.. that's actually sexy, just makes me that much more sad that I'll never see my X3s before Halloween.

Oh, this is a smartphone?

[btcminer84]

When is shipping or refund time of my non-shipping X3? I wait since End of November 2013 (ordered and paid the same day).

[ninjaboon]

darn, when is BA going to ship the X3. crazy company

no, i thing it is  smart miner-let

I keep thinking of ways to ROI with 120 bare ASICs. I reason that with a small quantity of tritium it's possible to build a 13Th/s miner that will run for 20 years with no external power input. The tritium would be contained in a green phosphor orb and the awesome glow would be awe inspiring.   

It would look something like this...

Ref: rent-a-minion.

I have requested a refund and they still have my BTC in the receiving account (check Blockchain.info for yours), not sure why this cant be refunded, it obviously wasn't spent.

There is no way they can build this to get our BTC back. I will wait on my hardware order but obviously this rent a minion isn't standing up until December earliest.

"next year" or "in a few months".

I'm willing to bet they lost the password to their wallet!
