I have 5 more x1 from MS I am waiting on. I am hoping BA does something good to reward my loyalty
Wow really quiet today! Everyone burnt out on the hate parade? I got plenty of bile to go round, come on slackers!
I think most of the Minersource customers blew their loads on Ant S3s, BTCGarden blades, Dragons, RK boxes, Gridseed blades, zeus blizzards, etc with their refund money.
No more pent up jizz for BA, we gots tracking #s and delivery dates to follow. ;D

well put :)))
So let's hope that this gives MS the room to breathe they need to (a) process the refunds queue ASAP or (b) even better, have this train-wreck-in-progress sorted out some way...?

Anyone that has a refund out with these people and would like to share the cost of an attorney, let me know.
If you have already have contacted me, I've got your info already, and will let you know when I have a short list of attorneys.
I'm looking for a lawyer in Shenzhen, have contacted a couple, and will get this process moving.

Dependance on Costs I might be interested
Where is my hosting? 
I really wonder what the issue is with the rest of the X1 group 1 and group 2 units.
They probably had a breakthrough with the LCD so they're postponing delivery to install them.

Black Arrow Software is in the top 3 shit companies in Bitcoin world
At this point, best case scenario they're a BFL, worst case scenario they're a Hashfast. Unfortunately supposedly Josh's trolling generated more orders which allowed the BFL Ponzi to slightly perform eventually, in this case BA's combativeness and trolling can't work because it just makes them look like losers compared to a few competitors now. I use the term "competitors" very loosely because those other companies have actually produced a product.
Personally I think they are the worst. They had a good marketing message in the beginning and used it to pull one over on people who had been burned elsewhere. They knew what could happen and charged forward anyway - be that incompetency or scaming - either way they earn the #1 place for worst BTC company in my book. At least BFL shipped first generation jalapeno miners to me in time to more than break even with them in fiat, which is what I paid for them (yeah buying BTC with my fiat would have been much better). After that everyone who bothered to do research knew the risk they were taking making an order with BFL's reputation. Hashfast smelled like a company who had no idea what they were getting into from the beginning.
The best thing out of this whole Black Arrow debacle is being introduced to Miner Source. They are a good company.
+1, they did right by me for sure.
A statement from Black Arrow regarding their promise to ship on February 24th 2014:
...
We've started the design in June. The only difference between us and our competitors is that we do not give unrealistic time frames which we know we cannot meet.
We are confident that we will deliver sooner but we do not make promises that we might not be able to fulfill.
It's now July 2014 and the X3 design is still not complete:
...
Following a thorough reviewing, the X-3 backplane has been put in production. The first batch will be delivered this weekend. We have several designs to our disposal and we have to decide which one was the best choice. We will be able to inform our customers on the X-3 shipping schedule within a few days.
...
-- Bitcoin Miners progress update - 27th of June 2014
4 months past the stated shipping date and this thing is still on the drawing board?
Oh, and by-the-way "a few days" have already passed.
Shipping next week? lol

turns out, not everyone can manage a project out there...
I mean, delays in all kinds of projects, IT or otherwise, is nothing new; but there's a certain line that should not be crossed, at least not in a client-facing context like here with MS and their less-than-wonderful Chinese partners over there.
If they do (cross that line, that is), they need to compensate accordingly -- and I do not mean any measly 24hr or 1wk hosted "compensation" plans but throwing in a FREE 2nd machine and/or making true order cancellation offers with a full refund.
"Buy one and get one free" -- others are doing exactly that, and in light of recent performance (or lack of it) MS should do this as well!
an 100% compensation aint gonna cut it..

I got a store credit yesterday from Minersource for my X1 order and bought some Zeus miners instead. Already got a USPS tracking number for the shipment
last week i read that the X1 was shipping batch 1. i still do not have my shipping update which leads me to believe that (1) even though i paid for a batch one product you conveniently changed it to batch 2 or (2) you are not ready for shipment for any batch. In any case, kindly remove your cranium from your nether regions and get a move on. you are quickly becoming another AMT of the bitcoin mining community in my book.
BA should put this up on their website.
what the fuk is going on BA ??
Exactly. It is JULY now, fuck it, no rush. They might as well spend time to develop their next AWESOME chip and just get those out.
Again, pathetic Black arrow, absolutely pathetic.
