There is no need to be offended. If your happy with their service, more power to you. I, and obviously other people as well, are simply not willing to send off thousands of dollars to an unknown company on the other side of the world that categorically refuses to do escrow or take any other steps to assure us they are legit. If they choose to pass up the business, that is their choice, just as it is our choice to simply use another vendor where this added risk isn't an issue.
I am not a newbie... not sure it make any difference to you. I just placed an order with X-hash for a G-black, order is confirmed and paid, G-Black is to ship on Monday and with receipt expected on Wednesday. I will update my post as the order progresses. I must say the customer service was excellent with very prompt replies to E-mails and requests for information. Great! We have a full member customer here! Lucky me! I was just praying and then you showed up~~~~~~ Thanks for your trust and if you do have time, please feel free to post your reviews, and thanks for the compliment, it's so gratifying~

I wanted to relate my experience as well with X-Hash and Sylvia. I did have reservations at first because I was burned by Markets.CX for 3 mos worth of Litecoin mining and the deal seemed to good to be true. Since X-Hash was authorized by Gridseed and because they were very helpful and upfront ( Sylvia will Skype you) I decided to take a chance and was quite pleased as well as relieved when the G-Blade arrived only two days after ordering. I live in Los Angeles which was the port of entry and probably helped speed its delivery. As in the previous post, the shipment was well packaged, the G-Blade had it's own box with foam as well as foam in the carrier box. Took it upstairs and tried it out with Windows 8.1 and CGMiner 3.7.2 init with hotplug 80 chips and freq 838 MHz. Also had the 5 chip miner running. That version of CGMiner needs some additional mods for the G-Blade, The CGMINER display indicated 600 MHz instead of 838 MHz and the mining pool hashrate is 4.1 MH/sec vs the 5.5 MH/sec anticipated. I'll be using a RPI with Scrypta as a controller when I get fully setup and expect the G-Blade will be performing to its rated values of 5.2 MH/sec . Attached are two photos, the first after opening the shipping box, the second the G-Blade in operation with temporary setup.
Hey, thanks for showing all of these~~it's really nice to doing business with you~please feel free to contact us if you need anything

An update on my new G-Blade, still running Windows 8.1 and CGMINER 3.7.2 and still not fully optimized. The G-Blade by itself runs 5.2 to 5.5 MH/sec (indicated by pool) at a difficulty of 384. CGMINER display is off by a factor of 5, thought it would be 8. When I added a single 5 chip miner it slowed it to 4.6 to 4.8 MH/sec, so it appears the the 5 chip miners which normally run at 128 or 256 difficulty get choked at the 384 difficulty, looks like I'll need another RPi or try and Multicast with Windows as I've done in the past, to avoid waste of a laptop.

Still waiting for the 2X12v 7A adapters. I've been assured by the shopkeeper about getting my product delivered today, so hopefully after setting my G-Blade I'll update with some more pictures. Thanks

Another update, I'm now running my RPi with Starminer which was recommended by Scynthetic at the Litecoin forum, https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=19129.0Starminer was designed with RPI in mind. Using the latest version 27 June, works good with G-Blade and easy to install and use. After booting RPi up installed wireless with sudo wicd-curses. Used the WebUI to setup, startup, passwords and config info are in Starminer Wiki. Took less than 20 minutes to set up after downloading and reading Wiki.

Update on my new G-Blade using Rpi as controller with Starminer software. It's been running over 18 hours now and appears stable except for a power bump yesterday, about 5 minutes outage. I apologize for the photo quality but it's clear enough to see the performance. The latest Starminer release is running CGMINER 4.3.5 First jpg is temp setup with RPi. https://i.imgur.com/CRhU5vr.jpgnext shot is closeup of CGMINER display for single G-Blade, shows up a two devices, 0 and 1 each running at 2.8 MH/s at a difficulty of 512 https://i.imgur.com/OmgqXTF.jpglast shot is WebUI. https://i.imgur.com/z5B33A7.jpgHope this has been helpful and Thanks to Scynthetic for link to Starminer.

Placed an order for a $400 G-Blade on Saturday 21, June. Had tracking information by Monday. G-blade was in the US ready for delivery on Wednesday. Unfortunately I didn't get the shipment Wednesday because of a mix-up with the zip code (postal code). Called DHL and contacted X-hash. X-hash contacted DHL to correct the postal code issue. I had my G-Blade by Saturday 28 June.
It is among the best packaged miner I've received to date. Double cardboard box with the inner box wrapped in bubble wrap. Had it up and running within 30 minutes of unpacking.
I'd go back to buy more G-blades without hesitation, but I think I want something bigger. The G-Black is enticing, but it is huge compared to some of the other offerings out there. I'd almost rather have 5 Gblades than a G-Black and the price isn't enough to compel me to go the other way yet.
I'm very pleased with my purchase of the G-blade @ $400 and I wish I'd have ordered two vice one... Saving my pennies now for something bigger in scrypt or hopefully an S-3 SHA 256 miner.
I'll follow up with pics tomorrow... very late here now.

Thanks very much for you sharing~!!! Actually, the 52usd shipping fee was less than the amount we payed to DHL, cuz we miscalculated the packaching volume back them, . but it's okay now, we've adjusted, the shipping fee is a bit more than 52 usd to US.
