I hope they get everything right. Every dept. is under pressure (that we created) to get these prints out to Global. People tend to make mistakes...under pressure.
Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen people do some of their very best work with a gun to their head. It's inspiring. I'll agree on that, although that knife can cut both ways so I do see what he's saying.
What I am concerned about is time for benchmarking/quality testing/troubleshooting to ensure these things don't run for a week and melt into a pile of ooze.
Ah well, at this point it's not like I want to wait for all that either.
Just get it done and get it out.
wait, that sounds like my wife
Wouldn't that be the other way around........got to get it out first...don't ya

did you actually think at all before posting the above message?
Hmmm...let me Think about that....I would say...yes.
You've got to be kidding me. There's way too much smoke in here for your health. Pressure is what makes the world go round. You want something done, you give the job to a busy person and he'll get it done. Give it to someone not busy and it will get put off. That's life. If you don't believe that, you're part of the recipient class who wants everything handed to them.
Hi, i'm a batch1 customer. In my opinion a lot of people here don't fully understand the terms and conditions of the preorders we put to BA and don't understand the risk of make an investment. As a customers whe have right to be angry about the delay and try to push to get the best posible compensation. But please stop the shit storm and the scam conspiracy theory.

thnx for that quote, so much fud and bullshit in here its giving me a headache trying to find something usefull 
Agreed. Maybe BA should create an official moderated thread where they could post such announcements...

Another great pearl of wisdom... so now if the chip doesn't work, it can't be BA's or Verisilicon's ineptitude but it will surely be our fault because we "created" this pressure!?
Are you even aware that the tape out is 2 months late? Or let me ask a better question - did you actually think at all before posting the above message?

Since it hasn't been posted here yet:
Dear Customers,
We have just received a call from VeriSilicon and they'll tape out in few hours.
The files have been validated by the 10 servers that have been working for the past 36 hours and they are ready for upload to Global Foundries.
Right now VeriSilicon is going through the review of each department to get the signatures required for tapeout. Once this is complete the files will be sent to Global Foundries.
We will update you once the files have been sent (tapeout).
Regards!
The Black Arrow Team.

What the hell does any of this have to do with my post? Your wacky ass posts are getting more and more incoherent, sir.
Matt Carson is Black Arrow's #1 reseller. I've shown where he lied about moving/not moving his warehouse. I've now shown where he gleaned text for his website. He's also the person that has access to all the tickets submitted to Black Arrow, possibly gleaning vital information that's probably not meant for his hookah smoked-filled eyes.
If this were any other motherfuckin' company, you, in your right fuckin' mind, wouldn't be conducting business with any of them fucks. But, since you probably have some vested interested in the whole ordeal, you opt to stick it up my ass. Well, dude, I'm sticking back, and I'm not backing down.
~Bruno Kucinskas
PS: I suggest that anybody who has miners hosted at Matt's warehouse in Colorado best get them moved outta there within the next 48 hours, otherwise they may be tied up in some evidence cage for quite a while. I'm just saying.
At no point has anything been stuck anywhere. No homo here, bro.
And I get what you're saying with all the moving bullshit, and I admitted that the customer service is shit. My point is that I and many others have had good communication with Matt and received refunds, that's all. I'm not proclaiming the dude a saint, but until he proff positive disa-fuckin-ppears with all of his customer's money and BTC, you should lay off a little bit and give him a chance to deliver. If he he does not deliver, I'll be here bitchin' too, although I've already got my money back.
Deep breath. Chill.

I had a few shares of R17 in the DZ mining co-op. .45 BTC. I asked Matt for a refund at had it in 3 days. Although they provide terrible customer service, I believe he's legit. I've transferred orders and gotten refunds from Matt. He's not scamming anyone.

Looks to me like if Black Arrow is still planning on attending the Bitcoin conference in Austin, somebody else other than Matt Carson will be manning the booth, for I've already shown once how this scumbag can't be trusted.
Remember my post (now deleted, but saved) where I shown that Black Arrow's apology letter was copied and pasted from other sources? Well, are you ready to see C&P again, this time on Matt Carson's Cryptmint site?

The two happiest groups that Phin is here having diarrhea all over the thread:
1. The BA responsible parties - "How can we communicate effectively when the thread is flooded with noise and we have to spend all our time sanitizing the thread?"
2. Jimmothy and the cheerleaders - "Everything would have worked out fine if it hadn't been for PG and his trolling. He ruined everything. It's his fault no one ROIed."

As an update to my customers, we will be importing the old database in over the next 72hrs, please expect an email when it has been done.
It's been 12 days since you posted this. 12 days = 288 hours If you understand maths, you'll see the problem here.
Did Colorado get sucked into some temporal vortex and I somehow missed that on the news? Unless that is what a polar vortex is. Hmmm....
I also sent an e-mail today. Again. Refund please! And don't give me that database bullshit again. Just get an old-fashioned pen and paper and write down my order information from your "old" database, then enter it into the "new" database, then send me my refund.
Better yet, just send me the damn refund, then you don't have to "port" my information into the "new" database at all. Simple!
Or is the problem that you don't have 0.344 bitcoins? That's a measly $190 today, when I paid it was over $300. So I'm even offering you a chance to refund me less than I paid in dollar terms! And you still can't bring yourself to just do it so I will STFU?
Disgusting.
I don't even think I'll laugh when I hear the next excuse. And there will be one.
What date and time can we expect the special update regarding tapeout? Its been 31 hours since the original announcement, so does that mean less than 5 hours, Verisilicon will be done?
Blackarrow, give some bloody good news regarding tapeout!
