Blackarrow will deliver the goods, on time. I will be selling my X-1's for a grand each when they arrive. They will sell out in 2 hours.
I purchased 10 shares of one from dZcoop so I will have about 400gh coming on line late feb. this would be 1/5 of the machine

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Even if Black Arrow delivers in time,iits still 2 and a half months away.By that time bitcoin difficulty will increase so much that we wont earn coins anywhere close like we are calculating now.
wrong. black arrow is due in 60 -75 days 5 or 6 diff adjustments. do your math at 30% you get this 908 mill now 1180 mill dec 22 1535 mill jan 4 1995 mill jan 16 2594 mill jan 28 3372 mill feb 9 4384 mill feb 21 [...] Almost correct, but with a 30% increase in difficulty, the 2016 block period is shortened equally (to below 11 days; 14/1.3=10.77). Correct calculation for 30% difficulty increase: date diff in mio. time frame for 2016 blocks 10 Dec 13 908 10,77 20 Dec 13 1.180 10,77 31 Dec 13 1.535 10,77 11 Jan 14 1.995 10,77 22 Jan 14 2.593 10,77 1 Feb 14 3.371 10,77 12 Feb 14 4.383 10,77 23 Feb 14 5.698 10,77 6 Mar 14 7.407 10,77
I expect the difficulty increase to slow down a bit. Currently there are roughly 6.5 PH/s running. To boost that up to a difficulty of 7400 million until beginning of march, you need another 46 PH/s added to the Bitcoin network. The total amount of PH/s (that is yet announced, but needs to be delivered) for 2014 is only a bit more than 20 PH/s. Even with the late delivery that was announced for 2013 (and that may happen in early 2014) it can be doubted that the total network speed will reach more than 50 PH/s by beginning of march 2014. But who knows... The last retarget has come on Dec 21, not Dec 20, with nearly exact 30% increase (even slightly higher).. ;-) But you're right, the time periods in the OP weren't correct either, they were even the same for different expected increase rates.

I was very tempted to invest with them, but after they did a series of stupid things (hiring a random know-it-all pillock from their forums as a staff member, consistent stream of generalized excuses...which is still continuing to this day, as well as blatant refusal to acknowledge their lack of experience in customer support and accept good advice from others) I decided it would definitely not be worth the trouble. You can't expect miracles from people with hardly anything to show for their claims. They've overestimated their own capabilities, and everyone else who invested with them is kicking themselves for doing the same. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if they simply disappeared come May.

I just bought 2 Prospero X-3 (2000Ghash/second) from Blackarrow (Delivery Apr 30) I have tried to reach them countless times over the phone, email and ticket system and no luck. It's like I wired them my money and then I am being ignored. I fear that They are stealing my money because they aren't answering me after 2 weeks now. Now I have asked them to cancel my order and they are completely ignoring me again! I have a bad feeling they are a fake company trying to get in Orders and then disappear like Gypsy's! What do you guys think?
