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

[Dallas5]

Celebration, my order (2 X-1) is 1 year "old" now, and I am still waiting ...

My X1 order from Minersource is 1 year old next month, still waiting for the promised refund. I'll be contacting the local police department waited long enough and gave them plenty of chances to send a refund.

Well, the 4 S3's I ordered a couple months ago have paid themselves off already and are 17.5% into ROI on my 4 X1's. Thanks Bitmain for saving my ass!

Well, thanks for coming to gloat.

[CryptoGuy]

Not so much gloating, but showing them how much better their competition is. I find it amusing I have to use a competitors hardware to get the bitcoins back I used to purchase their crap hardware.

That's one of the most appalling - if not THE most appalling - thing about the BA situation: I ordered in November, direct from BA. In return for my loyalty, I got to watch the resellers - who came on board 2-3 months later - get served with priority. And they even provided refunds (or, in your case, alternate hardware) to customers who requested them.

So fuck me, I guess. My fault for trusting a Chinese company. And this is not me being racist, it's me being pragmatic - because BA thinks they're immune to customer complaints due to their location and their convoluted "ownership" structure.

I got a mail today from the Hong Kong Consumer Council stating that BA has ignored their complaint on my behalf and they have sent them a more strongly worded letter, urging them to deal with it. I'll bet the BA cockmonkeys are quivering in their little pink booties.

My only hope now is that once the Hong Kong police are finished suppressing all the student democracy demonstrations, they'll have the time to take a closer look at BA's criminal activities.

Keep in mind I purchased the S3's myself, they were not given to me as compensation for my X1's by a reseller. I'm merely stating that I received hardware from a competitor, got ROI on them and now that hardware is mining back the coins I spent on the X1's. Those coins should be profit but thanks to BA, I'm still in the red for another 2.3BTC from those X1's.

Thanks for the clarification, I wish I ordered something from Bitmain instead. I ordered from Minersource a reseller of Blackarrow and received NO refund even though they told me twice they would send me back my money.

Did you order from Blackarrow and have you tried getting a refund?

[ElGrandJefe]

Same experience: refund requested in April, refund approved and confirmed in May, then months of silence, then a blanket "we have no money for refunds" - oddly enough at around the same time that they announced their new 14nm product line and the Scrypt ASIC chip.

They are lying, cheating, thieving bastards.

i've been wondering in the depth of bitcointalk's lately.. it is amazing the number of threads with unhappy scammed people. ^^

haha, that's what they are telling me

I tuned into this thread again to see how the BA fire boxes were going... seems there is no shortage of smoke or fire and that these units are probably the worst miners ever made. Lucky that you were home and awake when the units caught fire, could have been a terrible story otherwise.

 

Please note that the materials used to build these miners are fire resistant. The worst they can do is melt, which is what is show in the pictures above.

This is a really ignorant thing to say. There's plenty of proof of units literally going up in flames.

he knows that but he has to do something to be entitled to stand side-by-side with Alex in the dock when sentence is passed.

WHEN X1.5 BLACKARROW?

 

[CryptoGuy]

WHEN X1.5 BLACKARROW?

 

"Next week"?

[Syke]

WHEN X1.5 BLACKARROW?

Since the difficulty has levelled off, they're still profitable for BA to keep mining on them.

You're treading on dangerous ground here making statements like that David. Are you saying they're unable to start a fire because they're within a metal outercase? Because that would be a ridiculous statement.

No, not because they are in a aluminum case, which actually could also not melt and would keep in contained. But the materials used to produce the PCB's are fire resistant and can handle very high temperatures before melting. They are unable to burn.

Cut the bullshit already, David. Nobody's buying it.
