Of course we understand purposes of that. Information about manufacturer, specs, and place of origin accompanied with device.

Is there a reasonable explanation as to why customers who ordered with Black Arrow (and claim to have only used the email address for their order), are getting advertisement emails sent to them from XBtec?

[psahx]

Has anyone else just got email spam about an XBTec PACIFIC V2 machine to an email address they've only used at blackarrow? I'm wondering if they've sold/passed-on their customer/victim database to someone else, or had it exploited?

Yep, same here. Email address used only for the Black Arrow order, nowhere else. The bulk mailing has been sent via MailChimp, there's an abuse report address in the email header.

Whois search indicates it's owned by Artem Solodkiy. First registered 16th May 2014, yet the About page reckons they were founded in 2012.

The Pacific 1250 even uses the same PSU as the Prospero X3.

Looks to me like Black Arrow is getting ready to jump ship and start scamming under a new name (seeing as the BA name will be forever mud it's the logical thing to do). In any case XBTec have obtained email addresses without permission, which gives you some idea of how trustworthy they are. Scammer or spammer, you decide.

PACIFIC V2
The Best Miner Available Today
XBTec* unveils a 1.57TH/s compact bitcoin miner with the fastest ROI for a period of less than 3 months, for the price $1399! The power consumption is only 0.8W per GH, which is the most effective solution available today.
 
In development of this miner many shortcomings of previous miners were taken into consideration. In order to achieve such performance with such sizes and power consumption, we had to overcome multiple complex technical problems. Here are some photos of our first model PACIFIC 1250 which is available in stock:
 
XBTec PACIFIC V2 is a joint product of Chinese and Russian engineers. Today it is the most competitive bitcoin miner in terms of price, power consumption and size. Our engineers have optimized the architecture of the PCB board. While developing the miner, we took into account how important it is for the users that the hardware does not emit excessive noise. Indeed, many people use these devices at home, where unnecessary noise is undesirable.

The PCB boards and aluminum cases are ready now! The miners will be shipped on August 31st. We have a special offer on the pre-orders: just use this promotion code kdie8-rjdy2-274jf-3lroe and get $100 extra discount (valid for the first 100 orders only).
 
Moreover, XBTec is preparing to bring a cloud mining solution into the market. The capacity of the data center will be 1 Petahash.
 
*The company’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong. Its developers are based in Moscow and Shenzhen. Factory is located in Shenzhen.

+1

I received the advertising email and want to know your relationship with Black Arrow as well as how you got their customer email list.

one thing i also dont get is why ROCKMINER did not mentioned Xbtec in their latest update:

So far as we know, there are only 3 miner producers who used AM Gen.3 chips and developed own hardware and software solutions then put into massive production: BTCGarden, Hashratio(ZhaoDong team) and our ROCKMINER. Among these three, only us is completely new entrant. BTCGarden has been set up from the first half of last year, they even successfully taped out a type of 130nm chip and completed massive production. Hashratio had been in secret development and successfully taped out a 55nm chip. Although the chips hasn't been massive produced into miners by multiple reasons, they still accumulated precious experience. Plus technical giant Kevin Pan worked for them before, it was not surprising that Hashratio was the first one who had solution and done massive production.

There were NDAs surrounding XBTec, Friedcat has confirmed their legitimacy. My unit will be arriving tomorrow (along with others), I'll do my best to turn it around ASAP.

The case is not the same as the X3, but it is the X3 PSU. The factory that produces it is now selling it to other parties.

[XBTec]

Let me explain the talks about Blackarrow software email database.

1. We have tried to work as the resellers of Black Arrow in Russia but rapidly understood that they won`t produce their hardware on time and stopped all the relations.
http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/reseller-status-of-xbtek-has-been-canceled.html

2. We have bought the email base from Black arrow. If you do not want to receive information from us, just click on the unsubscribe button in the bottom of the email and we will not disturb you.

Sorry for inconvenience.
