Thanks for the update BA! You could ditch the display or just use a small one to save some cost, everything you need to know about the miner will probably be visible in a web interface. I only need to have one nice green LED on the X-1 showing me it's on.

Would be nice to receive the compensation package sooner, my miner was promised to be delivered this month and it sucks to wait so long. I know it's a pre-order but still. The X1 and X3 do look nice and can't wait to have them mining at home.

Keep us updated! And yes you too minersource if I didn't visit this forum I would never have known about the delay.

1.We have approved the 2nd review of the Minion substrate and it has been taped out. Chip packaging is on schedule.

Estimate on how many more weeks to go on the Minion chip?

We are keen to get our hands on the Minion!

6 weeks left.

The question of where Black Arrow are located has been vociferously debated for at least the last three months on this thread.

It's easy really, if they were legit they'd publish where they are located but they don't, do they?

 Sad


Dear Oleole/OMG/Onoz,

Our address has always been on our website: http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/about-us-en.html
Why do you say that we do not publish where we are located?

Regards!

1.We have approved the 2nd review of the Minion substrate and it has been taped out. Chip packaging is on schedule.
2.We have encountered roadblocks in the X1 and X3 case design due to not all parts being in hand, we are working with 2 factories to solve them.
3.We have received and partially assembled the control board and X1 backplane board. We have received today the X1 hashboard and we will start assembling it.
4.Based on reviews we have made some schematics changes to the current boards therefore new boards are on pipeline.
5.We have visited the heatsink factory. We have paid and started manufacturing the heatsinks for all current orders.
6.We have received the PSU for X1, visited the PSU factory and have paid today the X1 PSUs. X3 PSU sample is scheduled to be delivered after 1 week. X1 PSU: Image1Image 2Image 3
7.Automatic BTC payment system is still under review. We are taking extra time to review the code to ensure that we’re not losing coins.
8.Customer support:
a.We are still lagging behind and have a queue of 700 tickets. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience please bear with us until we get this sorted. Our most experienced agent (Julia) is in maternal leave, the next experienced one (Alexey) is working on the case half time and the 3rd one (Sylvia) is in training. We have one other agent (Matt) working part time, remotely, but his limited time does not allow him to make much progress.
b.Customers must understand that our headquarters from China do not have access to Facebook. This account is maintained from abroad and they are unable to access any customer support issues.
c.Few customers have requested refunds. Please rest assured that we will refund the USD in May and we are trying to refund BTCs sooner but we are waiting for a legal document which was not returned yet. Please note that customers opening more tickets will just get you back to the end of the queue as we reply the tickets in the reverse order of activity.

Pics look nice

Question about the X1

You guys are going with the top with max airflow and not the design with holes only in the shape of an X correct?

Hello,
Is X3 have software onboard like Antminer S1 ?
I need miner that can :
1. Sometimes my place got power down for 10-15 min, I wish it can power up themselves after my place's up
2. X3 can change pools if the priority pool is down
3. In the end I need miner that I can sleep without worrying it

Thank you...

It'll do ALL those things & MORE!!!!!!!!!!  It'll get you coffee in the morning,get you a hooker in the evening & tuck you into bed at night.......you will be AMAZED at what the X3 can do!!!!!!   Grin

BTW,the X1 only does a third of that stuff...........  Cry

Very good LennonNZ So am i right to say that Alexandru Ion Sovu is the guy that is in control of my hard earned cash and he lives in that address in the uk !

My information is fact (not rumours) Taken from the Hong Kong companies office and you can take it as you will. All the information is in the PDFs

He is the Director of Black Arrow the company but the owner is a British Virgin Islands company which I have not gone any further with. It may be the same.

Could I get some advice?
I ordered through Minersource but decided to try to get a refund. They agreed but I made a dumb mistake and actually entered the Minersource x-1 payment address (from the Coinbase receipt) as the address to refund the bitcoins, not my actual bitcoin address. Minersource in effect refunded the bitcoins to their own address. I realized my error and wrote back with my proper refund address.

But its been 3 days and no reply from minersource. What do?   Sad

Be glad you didn't give them some 3rd party address. The coins would be gone!

PM Bobsag3. He'll probably be able to fix it. Other than that, just keep on 'em.
