I will still be receiving my first batch next week, I have elected to receive the entire batch without the LCD in order to get them ASAP. Screens will be received and distributed after the fact those who want it.
Restoring confidence when BA can't seem to, Thank you Bobsag3. I have emailed you asking for a refund, i sent a follow up talking about this message saying i do NOT need a refund. Information like this changes a lot of things, thank you for making Minersource a great company that is able to keep things moving foward and letting us know about it.

I appreciate the feedback.
I should be getting most if not all of my B1 X1s next week, and we will be pulling as long days as required to get as many shipped back out same day as physically possible. Even our UPS pickup guy has offered to chip in if we need the help.

While I can't say the same about BA, you and by extension minersource have earned a loyal customer in me for as long as I'm in this game. Good luck with the shipping.

Semi related - do we know if there's any chance of getting the lcd's shipped out after the miners for customers comfortable installing them? Honestly I prefer mine to have no screen (less power draw) but if I could install it later it could boost resale value.

Thank you again.

Any customer that wants the LCD after the X1 has shipped and they are available will be able to get one.

How locked is the Rpi on the BA X-1? Can CGminer still be modified to be a pool for other miners on the network?

Its not "locked" at all.

All i ask if there is anyway when they arrive you give us an update, also if you know if they are coming early next week (mon-wed) or later (thurs-sat) that would be amazing information.

Def. Wed-Friday for arrival.

When they arrive, I will spam this thread with pictures, yall should know that by now.

BA, I think you'd better think about the huge compensation if x3 still delayed...

truly I hope you fixed the X3 and ship to me now with good compensation...

but as everybody can see here...it's impossible for now

BA,I really suggest you just refunds us...refunds us in a fair way ..
take  me as example..if you paid me bitcoin?you should refunds me BTC values 6068USD wich my order cost..of course you can refunds me through bank..if you still refuse to refund..We have to add and increase compensation for refunds...

or you may can't afford all the customers' compensation both for refunds and hashing units..if delayed still

BTW,my contact still available ..

Do you have any idea about whether they will have the plastic case or the metal one?

Metal. I never advertised or stated the X1s would have wifi or anything of the sort, so I am full steam ahead in getting the X1s out to customers ASAP. Most dont care for the LCDs as stated here often enough.

Completely agree, don't care about LCD (possibly want in future if it ever gets fixed for resell purposes) or WiFi (LAN is better anyway), but my concern is stacking of units, which was and still is advertised, but David has said will not be possible with metal case.  Has this been fixed or will we need tons of space to spread them out?

When I visited I was shown the render for the stacker, looked pretty awesome. I dont know the current status of it, I will check.

Remember when they were 8 days ahead of schedule?  Good times:

Bitcoin Miners progress update – 10 April 2014

Have discussed and received great support from our packaging company, we’re looking forward to receive the chip.
2. X3 hashboard – final design
We have received the X3 hashboard sample, 2 days later than expected.
Pending assembly
3. X3 backplane – final design
Adjusted parts based on feedback from the case
Reviewing design, will send to factory tomorrow.
4. X1 hashboard – final design
PCB has been assembled
5. X1 backplane – final design

6. Control board – final design
Waiting for LCD + touchscreen factories
7. X3 case

These guys are pros in the confidence trick game.  Trickle enough info, and you start believing it's right around the corner.

This is "Stall Tactics 101".  Nothing more, nothing less.  Taking pages out of BFL's playbook. 

Well played BA, well played.   Cheesy

It make one wonder why Minersource had an order of X-1s returned to BA last week

Seems naive to believe this. No proof like tracking number / pics from BA logistic department etc.
Obviously just a claim (unneeded lie) to calm down ppl that preordered.

It make one wonder why Minersource had an order of X-1s returned to BA last week to 100% completed as ordered if only now the control boards are working,no LCDs and no mention of the plastic cases at all. Is BA bullshitting their resellers as well Undecided,can't find that post where Bobsag3 had confimation that BA would have their entire backlog of X-1s shipped in 2-3 weeks,or my cut and paste of it on ecointalk Shocked

We just had a new major breakthrough: Using 2 boards we've made two X3 boards to run stable. The result is 400Ghash at 1Ghz. We're still looking into ramping up to 1.2Ghz and 5 boards.

bobsag3 what are you going to do for your customers BA are leaving you holding a very big bag which is very fucking empty mate. This is now the time to help us and not attack us.

I really feel for bobsag3, MinerSource and of course, us. All bobsag3 was trying to do is run a company and sell a product from a supplier.... it's now turned into a massive headache for him and his company. Wouldn't want to be in his shoes that's for sure

It is pure lies there is no way they went through 5 failed LCD comapnies, the truth is they are buying time and have been since Feb. It has been long enough time to start shipping the miners BA, this joke has gone on long enough.

+1

and those lies in updates telling us-u are not going too get these until we get more money so we can compensate and earn some...
