Yes, because you were right on the money with BA.

I knew there would likely be delays (actually expected underperforming hw but I was wrong).

You sound like someone who has never preordered a miner before.

You sound like someone that's wrong about alot of things 100% of the time.

That SP30 is one sexy ass beast!  6 TH/s for $5k and only 2400 Watts!!!!

And you'll get it in August if you already ordered it, maybe, otherwise September or later when the price per gh will be twenty-five cents.

Shorter time frame than Black Arrow.

Says your magic crystal ball? Mine says they will be way underspec and delayed weeks.

BA really isn't in the conversation anymore.  Bitmain and S-T are the leaders.

Should be lumped in with BFL and Hashfast discussion.

Now that company is legit.  Spondoolies Tech launched, took pre-orders, and delivered on time, no snafus.

They never took preorders before the sp30. They have only sold BTO.

And you know who else had no problem shipping in-stock/non-theoretical hardware? If you guessed blackarrow you'd be right.

Just say no to preorders. Rbox is about as cheap as the sp30 and shipping in a few weeks not a few months.

They sold preorders for SP10 as well as from stock.  More like a pre-sale, since it was more like weeks not a long time before delivering.

Rbox is a piece of shit.  It's 3000 watts for 2.4 TH/s compared to 2400 watts for 6 TH/s for the Rockerbox.  Also for the Rbox you'll need either 4 PSU's or 2 huge power supplies which aren't included.  And it's a minimum requirement to order 4 units, not 1 or 2 only.

Asicminer shit the bed for Gen 3, awful efficiency.

Im gonna refresh your memory NO you didnt post that last week. But thanks for that. lol  Grin

In some ways Bob, I kind of feel bad for you, as Im sure you are getting as burned on this as we are. Probably even more so. I actually didnt order with you anyway.

Any word on the X3s? I thought of Black Arrow when I saw this company offering 6TH for $5K: http://www.coindesk.com/details-spondoolies-tech-new-bitcoin-mining-asic-leaked-online/

Miners work as proposed, and they communicate frequently on their forum thread!

Order #576
    Status: Complete
    Date: 08 Nov 2013, 16:05
    Payment method: Bank Transfer
    Shipping method: DHL

I'm not sure where I stood in the queue, although I am fairly certain that I ordered quite early and paid ASAP. (I have a fuzzy memory of reading somewhere that payment arrival date might matter.)

(Disclaimer: I also let customer support know, just in case it might matter, that nothing else was relevant to me -- case or no case, Pi or no Pi, LCD or no LCD, GUI or no GUI, PSU or no PSU... just as long as it would hash at anything near the stated rate, I would accept it. I cannot say if my "anything that hashes" request influenced anything from a shipment perspective.)

I will report back as soon as I receive notice from DHL, and of course as soon as I get the shipment cleared in customs and the hardware out of the box. Could take a while, still.

I thought it was confirmed that a mass shipment was en route to you guys?  Is this not happening now or was it ever happening?


See above quote.

So how many X-1's do you have on their way to you that have the Rpi in them?

Did they comment anything about compensation?

One.
Please stop asking about the compensation, as they have stated multiple times it will be address after shipment.

Our X1 is out for delivery, should have it within 2-3 hours.

I also have confirmation the new X1 controller is working, and according to BA the full X1 backlog will be built tested and shipped within the next 2-3 weeks. Performance with the new controller seems to peak around ~130gh.

The way you worded that it sounds like this is a single unit? I heard rumors there was a mass shipment enroute to you over at Minersource. Can you confirm this?

Pictures/Video of our X1 will go up as soon as we have it.
