Black Arrow LTD is looking for OEM partners and is offering samples of 28nm Minion Bitcoin miner chips (discounted or free).

Here is where your hard earned pre order money went!

EDIT: They are able to give away samples of chips and $10,000 discounts, and yet they cannot improve the compensation package...?

Well, this is the minion chip, which yeah, it's where our money went. If it was a scrypt chip I could see the outrage (and I'd be right there with you!), but I think they've always shown on their site that the minion was available to OEMs.

I do agree that it seems there is room for better compensation if they can provide discounts, but even there, that's a discount off of a net new order -- receiving less money, not digging into their pockets to pay out. You can be broke and offer a discount.

I like that they will give a discount if you open source your PCB design -- that might work out well for WASP and others. Maybe next fall we can order well built, open source, upgradeable machines... one can dream.

Any1 wants to buy a preorder of 20 prospero x-1 batch #1 ? Ordered @ BA site.

Will sell for same price as i bought, 290$ a piece + $ delivery + bank transfer costs.

PM me.

You bought twenty? Why didn't you just by an X-3?

Bought togather with friend

Well if your willing to reduce your price I may be interested. I can currently buy an ant for less than $350 dollars, which will run twice as fast and we know that they are a real product. No offense, but there is no real indication that these are even real yet. I doubt we will be able to agree upon a price though, as you would have to come significantly down.

BTW-we should be receiving an update any time now which should tell us whether they will ship at the beginning of May.

Which miner is that? Twice as fast and less than what i paid for my x1? Ill just get a refund and put it on that.

Antminers, where have you been? Tongue

Last year $290 a piece for 100 GH/s was a bargain, maybe even February. April and onwards....not so much.

Well looks like no renders for us today.

dude relax, there is plenty of time. They have not been consistent at all about what time they post updates. But at least they are posting them every week, so the last thing that needs to happen is for people to get upset about something that BA is actually finally doing right.

I'm relaxed. But how do you go from Wednesday to Thursday to whenever we feel like.

I can't even get a response from them via email about my refund. Perhaps I will try calling tomorrow.

Everyone who is waiting on a $ refund from me either via wire or check should get a response by tomorrow night, been super hectic between switching banks, NYC Conference and dealing with our new partner, Microcenter.

Does this include the people waiting for the R17 refund round as well?

Just for reference, will update when this is resolved...

I requested a refund from MinerSource last Friday, was immediately told it would get done and mailed on Monday or Tuesday of this week, and I would receive a tracking number. I have still not received a tracking number and have emailed twice asking for a status update. I have no idea if it is in the mail or not, or the status of my refund. Bobsag, please look into my email inquiry.

Thanks,

DebitMe

Update, received an email last Friday saying that the funds should clear into their new bank either that day or yesterday, as of right now I have not received an email with explanations or tracking. Sent an email earlier today asking for a status update and when I can expect to receive refund.

Will update when I hear more.

I notice that MinerSource has a new distribution channel, Microcenter, so I suspect with that and the expos, they're busy (congrats!). I'd sure like to get some resolution though -- bobsag3's been pretty quiet on here for awhile.

I called Matt at minersource and had a great convo with him about this situation. He was more then friendly and helpful. If your having a hard time getting a response via email and support tickets why not just call?

Don't suppose he happened to mention when our Prospero orders will re-appear on this new Minersource website?

+1, very similar, though even less communication.
