oh, the x36 is very ugly, and they don't show any image of inside the miner. Seems a movement to avoid problems with old custumers but no one will accept this compensation.

Eeek!  Sounds like a broken record or am I in the Matrix.  Good news until they said they need money upfront (something FREE)
Oh and the whole hosting stuff. 

Do these broke companies all get together and read off the same script.
At least they want to keep selling vaporware and continue to sucker the people who are unaware.

Too bad when they first announced their product it was at the right time and at a good price.

Don't know who'd buy any of these.... :/

No one they are old chips, looks like someone trying to unload old gear.  And they don't ship out of China.  So most of world will have to use hosting...

And they dont sound to confident in hosting "The hosting is provided by a 3rd party and they (not us) will be responsible of safekeeping of your miner."

daylight robbery in my opinion.
To be fair, it's at least the finest example of a turd-polishing attempt I've ever seen.

We're really, really sorry about everyone who feels ripped off because they sent us money and didn't get anything in return. To get your compensation, please send us more money!

Fool me once, shame on you. Try to fool me twice, you must be Alex Sovu.

After the "buy our worthless proprietary PSUs for your vaporware compensation miners" scam on top of a scam, that would make it fool me three times.

To re-cap for those just joining us, I paid over $5k USD for a miner in November of 2013 and have received exactly nothing to date.

Sad joke, make you pay for a miner that's ALREADY OUTDATED as "compensation" - assuming they actually go through with this pathetic joke of a "compensation offer" for past failure to perform.

I'm very happy I never bothered with this company.

I wish I could say the same.... luckily I fared a lot better than most on here... I was only in for one X1

It would be nice if the police would act on the stack of complaints they've got against this company.

So how exactly is sending more money to proven liars and thieves with no guarantee of receiving anything in return compensation for being lied to and stolen from?

There is none that is why this thread is half a joke.  Who want's to buy old gen chip miners and pay BA for hosting?  No one want's this.

I would be very surprised if people jump on this, I think it screams avoid me.

Maybe they actually already had these machines running for a while now and figure they can try to unload them to the few rubes left with any faith in them to recoup some more investment before disappearing entirely.

Nail on the head there buddy!

And given their estimated power use, $3 per day plus maintenance is a decent rate but not great. At 2.2TH and 0.6W/GH I can think of several places to host for less than that. I'd pay less running it at home or hosted at my shop.

I can't complain directly about their inability to fulfill original sales, as I was primarily on the receiving end of a screwover by Minersource who claims Technobit with the assist; however, that wouldn't have happened if BlackArrow had gotten their butts in gear in the first place. I guess they just haven't figured out what to do with all their old Minion chips they fab'd last year and couldn't get rid of - or didn't want to get rid of. Maybe they actually already had these machines running for a while now and figure they can try to unload them to the few rubes left with any faith in them to recoup some more investment before disappearing entirely.
