So what is the best deal shipping right now?

In terms of new mining equipment without coupons, bulk discounts, or back room deals and that is shipping right now.  I think it's Dragon Miners which are near $1.60 - $2 per Gigahash.  This is a rapidly moving target though.  Most manufacturers are not keeping up with the difficulty adjustments.  You need something around $1.30 per Gigahash to break even right now with the average difficulty of 47 percent per month.  (Assuming around 13 cents per kwh.)

Antminer S3 if it's priced at 1 BTC per unit or less, will be the best deal shipping on the block.

Please Bitmain, don't let us down.... Cool

Man those S3s look nice. Come on Blackarrow and Minersource, speed things up or we are all SOL. I am sticking this out and waiting for the X1/X3s. Time is running out, don't pull a Hashfast and file bankruptcy on us.

If I don't hear any shipping news by the end of this week, I think I'm going to attempt to get a refund on the X-1s I ordered through Minersource and spring for a couple of the Antminer S3s...

BA, you're so behind the curve, dudes.  Embarrassed

That is exactly what I have been saying, I am giving until Friday (in all honestly, I would request now with the news of that awesome sounding S3, but I previously said Friday, so I will stick to it).  So come friday, if no tracking, I will happily take all my bitcoin and buy as many S3's as I can.

Debitme, let's have a pact and both go for the refund route if we don't hear anything by Friday.

Sick of the bullshit stall tactics and long confidence tricks.

Bitmain: 1)Announce 2)Build Miners 3)Accept orders 4)Ship within a week 5)Happy Miners

I know I know some exceptions with the S2, but the S3 it pretty much the S1 on steroids and I'd say there was 1% failure rate or less with those little tanks.

BA, last chance homeboys....

That is what I have determined I will be doing.  That will allow me to hear whatever they have to say tomorrow (as we will more than likely not hear anything today), and after that, based on my calculations by what I can reasonably assume BA can and will offer as compensation, it is not worth it anymore.

I have talked with my lawyers, and really the only thing left to do is for me to request my refund and be denied and we will have a case.  I can't speak to much more on the matter for various reasons, but I doubt it will be much of a problem on getting a refund.  Then all of those sweet juicy S3's will be mine and I can laugh and leave BA far far behind.

BA is so far behind the curve it isn't even funny.

Im with you

Curve they don't even register on the damn curve and if they knew about this said curve it would be next week before they would be near it.

Black Arrow has told me that the only way they can refund me is if I choose to get a refund and then wait until after the x3's have been shipped.

So basically you are going to hold my money either way?

Minersource, How's that shipment of X-1s? They should be in the USA today or tomorrow? Refund requests are most likely coming if they're not. People are fed up with waiting until "next week". Let us know.

I got a shipment email today including working DHL tracking number. But this all is just for the fu...ing PSU only. The Miners where NOT shipping. What a scam trick. Nice try BA. BA is trying to cheat me or what is that kind of fu...ing trick?

The bad is, I paid for the manufacturing service as fulfillment service and it seems - if they ever ship the Prospero X-3 - I need to manufacture the Prospero X3 server manually by self combine it with the PSU or what?

Pull your finger out BA! Either come clean and admit we've all been scammed, or ship this stuff like you've been claiming eg "The shipping of Prospero X1 (Raspberry Pi version) is ongoing."   .. 

The more I read your past news releases the more bullshit I find.. WTF ARE YOU PLAYING AT??

http://www.lketc.com/engoods/show/252.aspx : 1TH for $1,600, shipped.

This means that, if shipped today, X3s should get a little under 2x compensation (you can currently buy 4TH for 6,400,  so that is 2 extra 1TH units per order,  minus power supplies)

With 96.7% positive customer feedback this Chinese girl has significantly better odds of delivering a $0.63Gh/s @ 0.36W/Gh miner long before BA customers see their $2.97Gh/s @ 1W/Gh miner.

You're joking right?

Is Dragon Miner a joke? You tell me, because Black Arrow is most definitely a joke. The odds favor the Chinese girl.

Dragonminer is not a joke. They make real hardware.

Blackarrow has real hardware.

That website you linked is a lousy attempt at scamming. Its not even remotely believable.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the compensation PSU's were in stock?  Apparently this is not the case and why my question from last week went unanswered when I asked if I could order one and get it delivered now.

I don't want information about their package coming from China, as I understand that it could be intercepted (besides a yes/no it is on its way), I want information on how many X-1's I will be receiving, so I can have the appropriate number of PSU's, Ethernet cables, switches, space, power, and what not available.

i recieved my psu's last week, for what it's worth.


When did you place your order? Was it from BA or Minersource?

I paid in BTC on May 14th and still nothing.

I orderd mine on May 22th from Black Arrow.
Five x1 psu's.
