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.

Remember pics once you get it, or it didn't happen!   Tongue

Eager to see to what these guys look like in the wild, dam a painful 4 month delay! Cool

I bet your as kiddy as a school girl waiting Smiley

Got that right. Too bad I just got off... ~40 hours of flying or so so im not even sure what time zone im in.

I am glad that tracyhh has gotten the police involved, it's way beyond the time this should have happened.


Sorry but this show absolute ignorance about civil and criminal code and how the law works.

exactly what you think will do the police? Arrest someone? close the factory? freeze the BA assets? in which accusations?
 
God knows I'm not a BA fanboy and I'm pissed off just like everybody in this thread but please use your brain and common sense.

I would have them deliver with RPi than waiting for them to fix their control board (which by the way was not communicated nor announced prior)

We are now able to deliver full functionality to X1 customers.


How about an update for the X3 customers.

Not sure what that means.  Does it mean there will be LCDs and the X-1s won't require RPi's anymore?

How does that affect shipping time, will it delay it even more?

BA, always talking in puzzles never giving straight answers.

The RPI was only temporary until the control board worked as designed,so no they won't require a RPi. They have shown before the LCDs and the uploading of the Android software for,so yeas the X-1s will have the LCDs. This should speed up production. The case and wifi are still unclear,they should have the plastic case by now.

since you start making this thread shitty with frivolous accusations and stupid humor that has created a kind of endless trilogy
BA you must rearrange the blow and please don't confuse businness, emotions and especially in regards to your serious orders when some are on the verge of bankruptcy by relying on bitcoin and You because personnaly i dont give a fuck about X1 LCD and the damn interface I buy a functional Minions for only task is hashing :/ made things happen in the interest of TIME of everyone

We just had a breakthrough: The control board is now working as designed.

Please check the below picture showing an X1 miner hashing with the control board at 120Ghash.

Of course I can't be sure but software control of vcore is quite standar in modern computers and problems appart it is clear that prosperos are beautifuly designed so it wouldn't surprise me if they had it. At the very least they should have it but not exposed in the interface if just because it is a convenient way for them to do a late change without changing resistors. Anyway if they don't have it or if the range is insuficient I would also like knowing wich pwm controller they use ;-).

The psu might limit the oc but I am meaning to go sub 0 and I hope that means a significant reduction in leakage and I hope that it might be enough to offset the increase due to higher frequency (if those things love vcore then we are screwed as the relationship with power draw is quadratic at the least).
Also it would be hard finding more powerful power suplies, it would be expensive and if you have to pay electricity it would be too expensive if it is going to be over 4500W per X3.

I hold hopes of getting answers because it is David's personal miner. And I don't see why wouldn't he want to test it and share the results with us.

david105396 as you will get your miner soon I am very interested in some information.

The relationship between temperature and overclocking.
The relationship between vcore (not me lol) and overclocking.
The relationship between temperature and power consumption.


We'r all interested in this, but let me ask you why you'r so sure we'll be able to friendly control you (hups, I mean voltages  Grin) throug the interface. ( just to speculate between us )
In past posts I rise some questions ( screeenshot showing 80° after 2 min, possibility in psu bottleneck in OC with consequently wasted money for those who keep the psu while compensation scheme appear IN PROGRESS ) thinking that could be usefull ( BA is clearly in develop stage in which tweaks can be possible ).

However I don't expect any answer cause queue is just too long. So tierd.  Embarrassed

If there is enough overhead in the stock heatsink you could test it by controlling the fan manually and setting it to the maximum. If there isn't it will also be interesting.

My guesses are that overclocking will be heavily dependent on temperature a midly on voltage hitting thermal limits with slight increases on vcc while on stock cooling, I also think that it is quite likelly that there is a significant decrease in power consumtion with decreased temperatures. For those things to be really noticeable we need at least 20ºC of difference.

That information would really help us extracting the best overclocking and or getting a better hash/w. I am building a custom cooling and it would help me quite a bit.
Also, what is the maximum overclocking and voltage that the interface/hardware lets you set? (even if it will never reach it with aircooling it might with water or phase change and what could be reached could determine what kind of cooling is worth).

So on their site they say their X-1 and X-3 are in stock, this is obviously not the case then?
They may well be in stock in one form or another, however that doesn't mean they have shipped any.

Ok, to save me reading back through 266 pages, what has BlackArrow delivered so far?

Nothing that I know of based on the Minion ASIC to an end user, unless I missed something.
