Or ppl with 1 X1 or an uneven number. already own 50% of an unit that they dont have.. why not giving them 50% discount one X1 + the 25% discount they get on future order so they only need to pay 25% for the unit.



Why should customers with an X1 purchase have to pay MORE money in order to be compensated?

Maybe it'll be a coin toss...  Heads, you get a free miner.  Tails, no miner for you!

I am anticipating the news on exactly single order X-1's will either receive or do to receive another x-1, according to the Blackarrow Forums on Ecointalk it seems like they are taking suggestions a bit and it isn't a set in stone compensation.

If a single X-1 get's another X-1, I expect my order of 10 X-1 to receive another 10 X-1 also.  The compensation must be fair for all orders.


And this is where it's not fair.

Why wouldn't that be fair?  If someone orders 1 and gets compensated with 1, someone that orders 10 of the exact same product should also be compensated with 10.  Ratios should match or else you deal with a bunch of issues, what happens if you order 3? Do you get compensated with 2?  What about 9? Do you get 5?  How about even numbers?  Huge can of worms if you do not compensate in equal proportions for all orders.
Well that is an issue when they have stated 50%, probably should do 50% and round up to double on odd orders, since this was unexpected and a preorder no one had insider trader and ordered 10 seperate single orders. 10 will still get 5 free units while people who ordered one won't get left out with nothing. Seems pretty decently fair.

I would define fair as equivalent without favoring any order amount.  Seems under that scheme if you ordered an even number of units you don't get an equivalent compensation.  I would propose even numbered get additional compensation over odd, which can be in the form of free shipping or included psu.  There should also be a compensation option available that does not require any additional costs.  It's not compensation if customers need to pay more, this is just upselling.

Just make an X1.5 and have it hash 50% more.

That's the solution. So if a x1 is 100 and x3 2000 is a single x3 a x2 at 1000 Smiley

I ment it gets screwed up no longer is it 50% but higher to compensate for the person only buying one then some one else feels they are being screwed because they see they got less. I don't care I'm batch 2 and on the naughty list so get nothing Smiley

I appreciate it, but it still says that no account exists with my email address in the forgot password page. I'll also send an email.

Where to confirm an order to buy?

This compensation plan can't work.
1. How are they going to have all these extra machines available and fulfill all the batch 1 and 2 orders.
2. If they do manage to ship all these extra machines they are going to flood the market with so much hashing power the difficulty will be so high the minimum you could mine with would be a tera hash machine making that as useless as a 300mhz usb miner.

have you ever thought how much hashing power KNC is going to bring to this party including its masive data center, this will dwarf BA hashing power.

+1 - tbh, the only way we'll ever make money on these orders.. is if btc raises to insane value again (which it will possibly do) but, that will be some time i think..

I ordered 10 X3 in December directly from BA.
If I understood correctly, I'll receive 30x 1Thash units, 10 of them without power supply.

If really I receive all this before the end of May, I'd say I'd be quite happy.
Not sure at all if we'll be able to ROI, but it's not all BA's fault ; if BTC was now $1000 as we all expected in December, this would be another story.

Damn you can make some serious roi selling the units to people at a knocked price I'm sore Eric.

Yes, but the compensation is actually decent.

Is decent only for customers that don't have to spend more money on.

Now orders forced only to acquire the compensation will lead to chaos, cause if you'r in debt with me you can't ask more to clean your debt.

Add the fact that BA had change the chance to buy prospero's single orders to a min quantity of 10. It's perfectly resonable compromise to handle less orders (probably the customes amount was high and this makes me think that batch 1 buyers with single X1 are a big portion involved in this unfair compensation) and now what did they do Huh A compensation that will force them in a complete different direction ( new orders - new payments ).

Perfect way to complicate both customers - vendor side.

I'll quietly waited if they wouldn't try to make me spend more. ( in the case isn't clear, i'll NEVER do it anyway, and BA will be delisted as future vendor ).

(HINT: If they are so bad with margins to think to deliver HW whitout PSU....well give us 2 prosperos both without your super PSU, if they are powered only by +5V and +12V lines, 90% of miners would handle it (probably with a better efficienty using a single PSU for both & haveing less internal heat (witch is better too for efficienty.) BA could be happy with a ton of PSU in magazine to resell recovering part of costs thus deliver a second prospero with less outcome.  For miners that don't accept this ( I'm only talking of direct BA single X1 buyers cause all others seems already happy )you can provide a hosting compensation similar to the old compensation nearly sure that the volume of hashrate needed will be resonable).
