[CLOSED]Minion Chip Assembly GB

[Craige288]

Oh wow! Another channel to watch other than 'Late news with BA Today'.  This channel is promising full action like utter confusion, chips stuck at customs and I have no doubt chips going missing cos this is looking like a logistical nightmare.
I can see it now.  Where are my chips?  Where are my boards? and OMG I don't have an order with BA anymore and I'm now stuck in this nightmare.

Popcorn in the microwave and feet up, ready to watch!

So i just paid for my 50 boards. Shipping was not as bad as I thought it would be. Came to $12031.52 for shipping and all. Now to order another 5k in parts... ugggg.

 BTW, I do have a source for the fans at under $23 if anyone else is looking for bulk. I will be ordering them later this week if you are interested.

How much was shipping?

2014-07-15 22:46:28    UPS Express    93.000 kg    214,00€

So did you go with the group buy or by yourself and did they contact you for shipping.

 One of the first on the GB. I am unsure if my chips were in the original 400 from MS, or the ones from BA.

 Yea get that popcorn ready. I will kick back in a lawn chair and watch the leds flash while you have nothing better to do than cause drama.

Just saying how I see it and how you yourself have shown uncertainty about where your chips are at!
Don't' get me wrong... I want this to work out for you all, I really do but so many questions already plus emails and PMs no doubt.  I sure hope they can keep a track of everything because I don't think there would be any way to track your chips exactly with some flying from here and some flying from there etc.

Let's just keep it on topic, eh. You can be as entertained as you like but if it's not constructive you don't need to chime in

HI all,
I got a notice from DHL today for 2 sendings from USA and China.
I took the import documents paid VAT via bank transfer and left papers @ the customs office to wait the money to be confirmed and then papers cleared.
Usually in Bulgaria this takes 2-3 working days. If we got lucky I'll have the chips by the end of the day tomorrow ( second day).
AS soon I have chips in hand and count what received I'll contact miner source for a list of the participants in the GB.
This will be the moment we will count our 2 weeks shipping time.
WE 'll dispatch boards as ready by the orders number as it was placed  in our site .

Nice, will you be contacting the GB members so far it is impossible to order boards from your site without having shipper/tracking code.

There are minions in the wild that will not produce 100ghs.
Have the minion chips been graded?
Is Black Arrow sending out grade A chips?
Is this project guarantying 400ghs per four chip board?
Or will it be, be glad you got anything and STFU.

I was warned of a potential 2-5% failure rate but I am hoping that is not the case. I hope there is no grade difference either.

Edit: Here is what Blackarrow said,

We have received your ticket. I'll make sure that your ASICs are shipped on Monday.

Please note that our ASICs are not tested therefore 2-5% might not work. This is a standard practice in the industry.

Regards!

If they haven't been tested, there will be dead chips and there will be differences in how well the chips work. I suspect this may surprise some in the GB. Explaining the no response to my question of guarantying 400ghs. BFL ended up putting three low grade chips in a two chip Jalapenos at the end. Less ghs/watt.

We shipped marto more than a few extra chips from our personal converted orders to cover chips purchased from us to extra, and to account for dead chips for everyone else who has gone thru the GB, consider it a free bonus.

 Guys, take it easy on Matt. His ass is doing extra work to save his name and insure you actually get a damn good product. Marto has to test every board. With that said, he will run it and make a btc here and there.. this is understood, and he has to to test it before sending. I don't give a shit if he gets 10 days of my 25th/s as long as they are sent and working.

 Think about guys.. once he takes on assembly, he is pretty much taking on assurance of what the board will do. He said 400.. if you get 500.. so be it.

 Stop the pre-drama please. Especially those sending 4 chips, or none at all.

Scrap' out on the drama shit

[sorehammer]
