They will just tell you that they are waiting on the PSU company to fix the PSU or the CE to come back for the PSU. Which may be true, but doesn't explain why the X1 production has ceased. They are out of money. If they are still building miners, it is probably the owners working around the clock putting them together, which would explain why they get shipped to Minsersource and others at a trickle pace. They need a wealthy benefactor to step in and save them. Or a miracle to happen to the price of Bitcoin. Neither is likely, but both are possible. Go ask your rich Uncle for the money, he might be interested in the 14nm tech they have.

You should post that on the non-BA-moderated thread, too, before someone takes a break from assembling all those miners and decides to remove another 100 pages from this one.

FROM http://ecointalk.net ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Posted Yesterday, 04:55 PM They are not Chinese. If it isn't apparent, Black Arrow appears to be one or more Romanians who live in the UK. They pay Chinese companies to build their equipment for them. I believe they ceased production at their previous factory because the company they contracted out was very slow, and probably because they ran out of money. They found a new production company that can produce all the miners in three days, but I don't think they are producing anything, because they are out of money. (It would be obvious if they were, because in three days, they'd be done. Since that hasn't happened, you can figure out the rest.) I believe that they are looking for some kind of third party investor who will provide the necessary cash to complete production. In the meantime, they may be producing units themselves, slowly for lack of anything better to do. I believe the company is broke. They may be mining with some X3's to get enough cash to keep the lights on and pay people, and maybe finish a miner here or there by hand. But at this stage, it sounds as though they are just broke and looking for new investors. I would like to think differently, but when I ask about their financial situation and why they are unable to do certain things, their lack of answers indicates they are broke. No denials. No proof of any kid. I think if anyone looks at this with a clear head, you have a company that hasn't made a sale in over half a year, trying to pay people to build these miners. It's game over. Sure, they MIGHT find an investor. But this generation of miners are worthless unless Bitcoin goes to a thousand dollars a coin, but every difficulty increase that clicks by, no matter how small, shows us that the machines will be that much pointless to produce and ship out. It's a terrible situation to be sure. They took a lot of people's money, including mine, and gave them nothing in return. Being broke, they have no way to fix it. It'll come down to lawsuits and legal action before too long, because they won't be able to prove to any investigating body that they can make good on the contracts they agreed to. They are screwed. The only hope is some kind of angel investor, but I really don't see how one would step into this mess and waste money trying to fix it. Not unless they got complete control of the "company" and all of its IP. I wish Black Arrow luck in trying to sort this mess out. But the whole thing is a wash as far as I see it. Pretty soon I'll be able to get 2th for less than what it'll cost BA to ship me my units. Thx for posting.

I believe that we have already informed our customers of this: We are currently waiting for CE to check the X3. Until completed, no shipment can be made.
Another 2 weeks have passed. When is the PSU testing due to finish?

We would like to ask forum users to stop flooding the thread with obscene messages.
Thank you for your patience.
What about CE certification for the rest of the machine? The one YOU produced?

So long story short we've all been 'scammed'. Honest to god if it weren't for all the scamming and dishonesty from EVERY SINGLE investment I've made with bitcoin hardware and services, I would be pretty close to being a millionaire. Sadly and regrettably I am not. In all I have made a few quid over the years but it's absolute pittance to what I could have in my savings account right now. I'm out. BA you are the final straw.
My sentiment exactly. I will only buy from bitmain or fried cat from now on. Every one else has burned me, lied, decieved, disappeared etc. Black Arrow was supposed to be a trusted manufacturer and minersource a reputable dealer blah blah. No more trust except for those who have earned it repeatedly over many delivery cycles.

No more trust except for those who have earned it repeatedly over many delivery cycles. It's a wise move, but the entire exercise is to take a risk. You risked money here because there were various choices KNC, BFL, Black Arrow, and you chose the one you thought would pay off the fastest and earn you the most money. If you only go with the safest option, such as Bitmain, you might not get burned, but your profit potential is seriously diminished. It's a risk vs reward thing. This time the reward wasn't there. But if you were one of those people who risked your money on that first batch of Avalon's. Different story... Just buy coins and wait. In some years when the halving happens again, they are going to be worth some serious money.

Hopefully we should hear something
David has added to the forum at ecoin:
"I'm currently busy with an update. Just need to communicate it properly before posting it."
When asked if it will be today
"I'll do my best to get it out ASAP, but can't promise any date. It greatly depends how busy everyone is at the times I am able to contact them to decide what will be in it. "
I love the "everyone" ... the company is run by a man who's possibly nowhere to be found.. I wonder if david ever got paid..?
