Black Arrow = Scumbags

Pentax, add your comment AFTER the quote, rather than inside it. Thanks.

BFL is over 9 months late. BA is only 6 months late. You can't outdo BFL. They are masters of overpriced late hardware.

Black Arrow in my mind is worse than BFL. They delay but their miners work. BA delays and when they deliver their miners are crap.

Dont worry, Im not trusting them anymore.

Don't fool yourself. They aren't poring money into anything. The 14nm announcement is pure BS because they need money. Don't believe anything BA tells you.

29/08/2014, Shenzhen, China

Black Arrow, a leading Bitcoin ASIC manufacturer, announces that it has been working towards building its next generation Bitcoin ASIC since the tapeout of its last ASIC (March 2014) and it has now set a tape-out date: December 2014.

This new Bitcoin ASIC will use the 14nm FinFet process and the power consumption target is 0.3J/Ghash at chip level.

Black Arrow has enlarged the team that made Minion ASIC a success and now has obtained support from one of the leading foundry that is able to tape out 14nm FinFet.

Work has already started on the backend of the chip in order to port the Minion RTL into 14nm process. Black Arrow has added several improvements to its ASIC code: the chip manager features now has more commands and SHA256 engine is in the process of improving the power consumption by fully utilizing the new features of the cutting edge 14nm process.

The schedule tape-out date is set to December 2014 with wafers scheduled to be completed in April 2015. Chips will be ready to be shipped in May 2015.

Black Arrow Ltd has already a proven track record in successfully manufacture Bitcoin mining hardware at extremely competitive prices using shorter full lifecycle than their competition without compromising the top quality required the highly-competitive niche market.

Black Arrow’s expertise in software engineering, hardware design, manufacture and customer support lead to develop unique solutions addressed to technology savvy clients. Their customized solutions are encompassing the most advanced lithography. The end result is a strong contender for achieving a reliable mining and high revenue backed by reduced costs and with high expectations on the customer satisfaction front.

In order to make this project a success story, Black Arrow is now actively looking for fair joint venture partners including other Bitcoin ASIC companies who were unable to gain access to this process node or who wish to share the cost of the mask.




Sad.. they are pooring money into another adventure before even completing and honoring the first one.. Wheres the compensation? Wheres the deliveries? Wheres the honor?

That's where the 40% comes in I bet. The Prospero X1/3 project is 40% of the entire development costs of the Minion, the scrypt ASIC, and we now know their 14NM chip design.

Hm. That's kind of like... odd... isn't it?

Taking a break from reading BFL bashing, wondering how other chip vendors are doing.

The Black Arrow store site now displays the following.

BlackArrow, is this temporary?  If not, what is the new URL for the support site?

Thanks!

It is BS! +1

Oh, greate!
May 2015, you will get the the world's best PSU

"Sir, we have Black Arrow on line 1.  They say they have a new product for you."

Definitely NOT for me

whatever happened to the 'rent a minion'?  Have they even started hashing for people yet?

It's a great success, they've managed to rip off all of us, successfully!

These guys can't be serious!

"Black Arrow has enlarged the team that made Minion ASIC a success..."

Success!?!? Compared to what? Wow!

I almost fell out of my chair while reading that announcement.

Sure have and MinerSource is learning from their example by ripping off their customers. This whole nightmare leaves the worst taste in my mouth. How companies can act like this; and get away with it, disgusts me.

Wow, the scam never ends does it?!!  

Vicious cycle, just in time to reel in the next batch of suckers that don't know the meaning of "in hand" or "shipping within 2 weeks" (I know I was one of these BA suckers from last year).

May 2015 HAHA, what a fucking joke!
