Updates guys. C'mon let us know something.

Updates guys. C'mon let us know something.

It's kinda obvious, isn't it?

BA is mining the heck out of your units until, and stalling the time as much as possible.

That is if any machines actually exist.

[philipma1957]

I kind of moved on on an emotional level .  So whatever happens happens.  Sorry for the ones that lost big here.

[howardb]

Thomas_s/bobsag3 you have both ignored requests made a week ago to provide proof our money was actually passed to BA. If you don't respond within the next two days I will be contacting your local law enforcement to register a formal complaint of fraud.

You have been warned.

[vulgartrendkill]

I feel that when ever something goes wrong in the bitcoin world people just think oh well i`ve been shafted and leave it there.

They don`t seem to realise in some cases if is actually potentially criminal fraud.

An update please guys.

[railzand]

bob didn't accept any shafting. he flew out to find out wtf.
no update = no news
there'll be proof of the purchses from ba in the blockchain. chill on that front

Prospero X-1

This month we have manufactured and have shipped Prospero X-1 miners and during the latest shipments they included LCD, touchscreen and WIFI.

Because of manufacturing issues we have not been able to clear all X1 orders yet but we're working hard to clear all queue in the following weeks.

Prospero X-2

Has been put on hold due to lack of human resources.

Prospero X-3

First units have been shipped to our resellers 3 weeks ago for testing. However, this showed that the inductor heatsinks were not stable and hashboards can get out of the socket during transportation. It took us 1 week to fix these issues. Since last week we have begun shipping of X3s and now we are ramping up assembly and shipping.

Rent-A-Minion

Will start in the following few days.

Compensation

We are working on a new design in an attempt to lower the BOM and increase the compensation offered. This design is almost finished and we plan to manufacture the prototype in the following days.

ASIC exchange plan

We are increasing the number of ASICs offered to our loyal customers who wish to exchange their order to Minion ASICs:

-Each X3 preorder can be exchanged for 120 Minion ASICS

-Each X1 preorder can be exchanged for 7 Minion ASICs

-Each $45 paid for Rent-A-Minion service can be exchanged for 1 ASIC

Note that customers who choose to exchange their orders for ASICs forfeit the compensation announced previously.

"Bob:

If you wish to convert your order to chips and have them assembled, please see:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SO reading this article I now like to know a date when WE recieve all the units. So if Bob has flown to them he should have this answer. Put some pressure on them thanks also fight for more compensation.

So basically, jam tomorrow, as per usual.

There's a surprise /s

[Rea]

Can we get an update on whats going on?

[philipma1957]

sad this all started out so nicely
.
now with rounds 17 and 1 I am going to suffer about a 1k loss


so my all time worse was BFL but they refunded me.

Then Bips grabbed .39 btc at 1100 usd a coin   so they held top rank.

this loss is really black arrow but  still quite a bit of coin. 

 so far 2014 has not be that good to me.  I had losses with scrypt mining.

this may end up my first losing year in crptyo coins.

[BrianM]

When will this one hash?

[ruggedman_dan]

Updates would be nice. Seems like the operators has abandoned this groupbuy.

[slayernine]

So unless we convert our orders we are just getting screwed?  What about those of us who aren't interested in spending another dime...  I just wanted to get hashing

[steamon]

I really hope they come with a picture soon with them all running else its really over no profits to by made here only hoping to get your buck back.

Funny story is before I started investing I had 17 bitcoins from a good deal and now I only have like 2 or 3 left. So the point of the story I should have just holded the coins. I know there are people here that lost far more coins or stolen.

[umdorado]

So please explain in order to get a refund "What one should do?"

[btc6000]

So please explain in order to get a refund "What one should do?"

1/ Submit refund via post and PM
2/ Wait 6 months without any response
3/ Keep posting here so that any potential customers can make an informed decision.

[Epicurean]

any news? anything? it's annoying that we have to run behind you and keep poking your for some basic answers. even if once a week you just post "no new information" that'll be better than the current situation. Q4 of 2014 is starting soon... are we gonna get some compensation? or BTC refunds? or what?

[steamon]

I can assume that black arrow have lied about shipping x-3 atm? Else we would have had a message weeks back that there were units coming in. Anyone tried to contact black arrow directly?

[philipma1957]

looks like a complete bust out. Well at least we did not send more money at this as far as I can tell the ones that sent more money at this lost more money.
I glanced at this and do not see any hope for us or them.
