Since you're here, why don't you provide us with an update. What progress has been made in the last week?

Last week was Chinese New Year, most of the company was off work.
Anyway, we have completed the pinout of the chip, made some progress on the case but has not been completed.


What is a pinout?

where they realise that all the pins on the chip are crap and start pulling them out to begin from scratch.

Well, I hear they managed to delete all of PG's posts... surely that ought to account for something!  Roll Eyes

not spreading FUD, or trolling.. but, this all seems too familiar.
Collectively, we need to stop making any sort of pre-order whatsoever. It's very easy to turn an 'idea' into a reality with the help of other people's money.

there is a thin line which separates an good idea, from being an elaborate fraud.

Are you like these guys?
Hey PH could you please give me the cliff notes on your latest findings. I can tell your very excited but to me it just looks like rambling. I am glad that you have toned it down a bit though, thanks.

It's a bit of rambling. At one point the company is owned by one of our resellers. The latest was that the company is owned by someone named Alex Berk named after Berkshire which is where he lives. I'm having a hard time keeping up and it seems to me like he's saying because people fly, people must have wings. Some of the stuff even I find interesting. Some of the stuff is like fitting a square peg into a round hole.

He's shotgunning out ideas and predictions and when one of them end up being true he's very proud. He's said that Bobsag and I were the same person (wrong). He said that Bobsag was a liar and a thief because he moved around and leased a few buildings. He said that two people contacted him because Black Arrow wouldn't refund them - that turned out to be false information.

I've stopped debating with him.

I'm also working on pinning down more information. Sorry for the delay. I was hoping Bobsag had more information since he met with everyone. I'll see what I can find.

I think instead of more information, we need some information to begin with, we really haven't been told anything besides being shown a couple more renders of a product that looked very unfinal.


Exactly. It's time BA stopped pretending that any product has been delivered. Showing renders of cases is a long way from producing ASIC miners, a very long way.

So far all we've seen are pictures of non-existent cases and heard from resellers who don't have any product to sell.

Vapourware anyone?

Maybe you'd like your cards skimmed with that?

Or supersize your X-1 loss to an X-3 loss?

Shady or what?

I think with two weeks until the original shipping date, people have every right to complain and wonder what is going on with the money they spent. There should be a lot of progress already made, most components should be in stock, if you had a failure with one part of the design the rest should still be viable and in production to be ready for shipment as soon as revised chips / pcbs exist... At least, that's what would happen if there were some truth to the story at this point.

So he made a few mistakes, that's nothing compared to willfully lying to your customers, don't you think Matt?

The only thing BA had going for them was February delivery, the rest is quite shady about this company, including the fact that you're "hunting" for information - I have seen that a number of times now. Do you actually have any idea what is going on or do you only get to serve us some crumbs?

So just read 5 full pages of posts and no news apart from renders of the X1 and Australian reseller which was actually annouced on 1st Feb on the BA website.

BA, what are you doing with the compensation package and when will it be announced.

Ok, so the Minersource move from Missouri to Denver, CO happened some time in December.

Also, the "change" to a new database happened on December 12, notice can be seen on the Minersource website at the very bottom of the page, quoted here:

Quote
If you placed an order before december 12, 2013, your order will be imported and a new account emailed to you within one month. For questions concerning your order, contact [email protected], or 573-202-0370.

Helluva coincidence that the people (like me) who ordered before the database transfer are the ones being denied a refund because my order hasn't been ported over. We also happen to be the Batch 1 folks. See my previous post about the response I finally got with that particular excuse in it... And this timing also coincides with the physical move PG has noted.

And the location in Denver is actually the office of an entirely different company. Check.

For what it's worth, it's been well over a month and I still haven't gotten my account transferred to the new system. My last e-mail from Minersource two days ago said that it should happen within a week or two. Mmmmmhmmmm...  Roll Eyes

I for one appreciate the dots PG is putting on here because I can connect them. I can't understand that aspect of human nature that would rather choose to ignore said dots when money is on the line, but it happens all the time. Ignorance is bliss I guess. There are days when I wish I could ignore what's right in front of my face too, LOL.

My apologies to those who don't want to read these types of posts in here, feel free to put me on ignore as well. Smiley

You are aware that he actually has given refunds?

Anyone who wants a refund needs to contact BA or minersource through submitting a ticket.
Did you got a refund?

I wasn't even aware their would be a delay, they should have contacted all their customers (including from resellers). I've sent a mail to minersource a while a go but no reply yet..

This is annoying,

BTW I've also put that cage guy on ignore, admin should ban him.

Well Phinn, mu guess would be that shiny thing would be a mining rack.
It appears to contain 8 card style mining devices.... possibly GPU...... possibly not. I wonder what it has to do with a 4THps screenshot ..... 8 x 50ghps = 4thps

I like shiny things



Saw it, but since I hadn't a clue as to what it is, except shiny, I opted for my screenshot instead, to drive the bright idea thing home.

^^ This guy. lol.

Yes, watch this thread for updates, like the infinite delay that just started. You should take some humor in posts by bruno, he gets more information about these companies than anyone else does. Or do you like being ripped off by anonymous companies? Also, spelling, grammar, etc. Learn these things.

Any others? Can wait till down the road to unleash my sockpuppet to pour salt in the wounds when the shit hits the fan, if it hasn't started already, from what I've been reading on BA's forum.

While they're over there giving BA the finger, I'm over here providing the proof, but not to you fuckers opting to put me on ignore.

I simply had enough of this piece of shit Gage guy. Alway the same old crap. Motherfucker thinks that all because he has the most post count numbers, he can dicktate what we should think.Goofy fuck aint go brains. And all I want to do on this thread is read updates, but have to weed threw hes vial. Guess I'll have to put him on ignore now for this to be readable, being a shame that I had to signed up to this forum so that I can just put him in ignore. Everybody else please join me.
