Any hint on how large batch 1 is?  Also how large is batch 2?  They've been selling since Sept and batch 1 is still open... Seems like no one can make a decent return if they flood the market and aren't setting any limits.

Why is it if i add 1x , 100gh to my cart it says Subtotal $3,527.50


if you are ordering from BA site,the minimum order is 10 units@ $350 each,if you want less than that you should order from minersource.net

is https://minersource.net confirmed real?

Arg.. OMG.. yes!

If your investing in Hardware you should seriously READ more than the first/last post on a forum. It's mentioned nearly every page on this thread along with every other BA thread that Minesource (bob) is the official USA reseller.

Does anyone know how I can send a wire transfer besides going to my bank? I use PNC bank but I was told that their system is down nationwide  Angry and I probably won't be able to send my wire transfer until tomorrow. I looked at western union but $5920 is above their limit for domestic wire transfer. I completed my order on Saturday (without payment yet) so am I in the queue for batch 1 or am I not in the queue until my payment is received? Any info would be much appreciated.

Yes, that's basically the idea, running a mining farm for my friends, family and I.
 
I fully understand were Black Arrow is coming from and I wouldn't cause no confusion for them at all.  I will be running these miners from my place and sharing profit to others (friends/family).  I have fairly good experience in electronics, computers, networking and mining as I've been mining since early August with BFL and October with KNC miners, and haven't any issues with either of them yet.  Rest assured that your mining equipment are in good hands and will be looked after like they are my babies  Kiss  Wink  

If you or Black Arrow what my resume to see what experience I have up my sleeve you would most probably be impressed.  No joke  Shocked Cool

Every one should relax as this really isn't a group buy as you know it.  Sheeeesh...  I should have kept my mouth shut.

I work in customer service in the oil industry, and once customers that know you will bend and adjust to them, there is always that one that wants you to drop your pants and bend over backwards for them. After a while you have to put policys in place. (No cancellations, no group buys)

Its not your order that is complicated, its the guy after you who buys 20 of them for 15 people and when they tell him thats not allowed, he tells them "well merv77 did a group buy and black arrow was find with it" Hence, the policys they have in place.

He's not running a group buy, having investors back your purchase, and a group buy are two completely different situations. I'm doing something similar, people are giving me money for a ROI. and group buy who wants 20 should be told this. Getting investor's is NOT against the TOS FYI.

Chill out.

Finally managed to get the payment sorted. Funny how a HSBC to HSBC wire transfer requires so much time & process. Sad

How long do I have to wait for the status to change before I send Matt a PM?

Regarding the "no group buys"

Its probably a customer service issue. This is a small shop in China, not a call center with customer service reps on hand 24/7. They are selling specialized prototype equipment. Honestly, i dont think they want to dick around with complicated orders and offering many different payment options/plans etc.

Can you imagine selling 2000 of these things to every corner of the globe, and 6 months down the road you are getting calls from people for support, warrantee, etc. They arent on file, because they bought them from so-n-so, which originally paid with bank wire, but then added 3 more on with western union to a different address. They want a new part shipped to their house under warrantee. It cant go to the original buyer because now he lives 2 states over now. ETC ETC. It would be a nightmare. I understand what you are doing with your friends and family, but these guys are computer techs not customer service pros. Keep this shit as simple as possible as not to further delay.

Id say either have your friends order the units themselves (walk them through it)
or
have them give you the money to start up your mining farm and you give them a percentage of the profit at the end of each month.

I finally got a reply for my ticket requesting payment method changed.  It did take about 10 days but did come through..  for minute I thought this deal was going to fall through.

finally sorted.. Will be collecting cash from others involved in this purchase and should be initiating bank wire in 2 to 4 days.

Thanks BlackArrow Matt and/or Julia I. for your help even if it took a while. It's all good now  Grin  Wink

I thought group buys were not permitted??

Yeah, they're not. I did mention that a few pages back.

Well poop. Have an order that is presently in limbo, and would like to know if I made the batch 1 cutoff myself.

Have been waiting for a response from sales about submitting a payment :| Order #229x


double poop, I'm in exact same boat. orders #154x and #168x for (6) X3's that was meant to of been a group buy with my friends.  

now my friends that don't understand the bitcoin business think I've duped them.  I'm fucked from both ends.

This is one reason why we don't allow group buys.
https://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/5/2/why-you-do-not-accept-group-buys




Sorry, if I didn't specify exactly....

It's not group buy at all.  Not here, internet or anywhere public.  It's totally a private friend/family organized purchase.  Sorry  Undecided
As I said I'll be collecting cash from MY FRIENDS/FAMILY as we're in on this together, and I'll be doing bank wire myself getting machines delivered to my premises and hosting, maintaining, submitting RMA's if required, etc etc..

hows this not allowed, and seriously who the fuck cares how I buy the machines.. I could of just said they're all mine  Grin

I really don't think Black Arrow would care either.
EDIT. I fully understand Black Arrow's policy on 'not permitting group buys' and personally I never like them myself.
