Well, well, well. A big box from Miner Hosting LLC arrived at my doorstep today. I didn't know I was receiving a package.... To refuse delivery or just accept that I lost a bunch of money on this, that is the question.
And I paid Dec 25 2013 for those of you who are curious as to shipping order from Minersource. I should also mention I threw a big stink and bugged them about my refund status nearly every day for the last couple weeks.
Topic: Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $0.49/GH/s - page 48. (Read 787047 times)
I just got an invoice from, "Bitmine Tech" but it was from [email protected]. All it says is "confirmation 18XX." There was also an attachment that is a .jar file. Is this possibly a virus because my email address was sold to someone?
It is most likely a virus. Why did you get it? Well because people suck. If they didn't suck, if they had your email, they wouldn't try to send you a virus. But we do understand what you are getting at!
Black arrow sucks, everyone here knows that. It is so much effort to scam people, then you have people who literally want your blood out there. Just never seems worth it to me. Easier to make an honest living. Ya never know. So many people on the planet, how can you ever be so sure that one of the people you fucked doesn't know people who know people. That is why i believe in karma. If ya go looking for trouble, it ALWAYS finds you. Even if you aren't looking for trouble it has a good way of finding you. That is how i know that what i say is truth. Keep it up black arrow, you can't run from karma forever

Yes, don't open.
What is the path of least damage at this point?
A. Take the comp ASICs and sell them (where the hell would I sell them, who would buy them?)
B. Wait and pray for BA to do something like ship the X3 and give a good scrypt miner as comp (hoping they used the x-1 x-3 to learn to do this and now at least have some clue and won't be a year late on that)
C. Ask for a refund, never get miner, never get refund (I'm assuming this is what happens if you ask for one) Any case of anyone getting a refund? I have plenty of free hours with an attorney that I can use but I don't want to blow them if "them being in china" means I'll still never get my money back.
And to think, I can remember a time when I was worried about letting BA do the 5 day hosting because the extra shipping delay might cut into my ability for ROI.
I didn't need that $5k so much then, but with things that happened since, that profit (fuck,..breaking even) and having that money would be a life changer.
(sigh)

Hope you'll get atleast something this year..
I opted for option C, bought from MS. their product was/is delayed way to far past the original communicated shipment date minersource and blackarrow is obliged to send customers a refund. They even agreed to send me a refund months ago and I'm still waiting. How both companies still exist and no one is jailed is beyond me.
Minersource do the right thing and send those refunds ASAP! You can't just keep playing with peoples money and get away with it.

Hello guyz,
Can someone tell me what is BA's address, is their office is located in HK and facilities in Shenzhen?
TIA

There's some info in this thread.

They have a registered hk company (Company Registration. 1520309).
If you do a hk company search (it is free) you will find more info:

I believe their address is:

Which android miner are people using on their X1's? I just received mine today and wanted to test it. (I wasn't expecting my X1 to come with a screen and even more so a android installed on it.)
CGMINER already appears to be running.To access it on the LCD itself, open Chrome and browse to http://127.0.0.1/lcd, log in with user/blackarrow
At this point you should also see what IP address it's allocated itself (otherwise click the settings icon at the bottom of the screen and look at either your wireless settings or your other -> Ethernet settings)
You can then web browse to it from a PC/laptop and add your mining pool details. No need to bugger around in Android trying to start CGMINER.
There are two websites built into it:-
https://ipaddress/ is the white-background one with the meters
http://ipaddress/lcd (or on the unit you can use http://127.0.0.1/lcd) is the colourful black-background one
Logging in on one machine logs out the other (and the Android browser seems to hate that) hence the recommendation above to use Chrome instead, which at least tells you the account is logged-in elsewhere instead of just hanging. I think it's worth setting up an extra user account on the web interface so the X1 screen can stay logged-in on one while you use the other.
This is my experience so far (X1 arrived yesterday afternoon). All in all it seems like a nice unit. Touch screen is a bit sluggish, but it's a miner not a smartphone. Runs nice and cool and the power supply (despite its incorrectly-spaced CE mark) appears to me fairly well built, with lots of input filtering/protection and insulating sheet between the transistors and case even though they're all insulated-tab devices. No sign of why some of the earlier ones went bang.
SHAME IT'S SEVEN MONTHS LATE!
Still, the sooner those Scrypt miners get taped out and built, the sooner we can get our compensation, eh BA?
lol MoreBloodWine how do you know I got goxed too^^
Why BA's adress is not the same on their website and the invoice, which one to use plz?
Since mi november 2013 I have been reading posts here and at ecointalk, the 6 months delay slowly but surely went to my nerves and affected my moral,
I really need to be out.
"Next week" after "next week" come on, 6 months late now for an X-3.
I have 4 X-1s running and they are good quality products working fine and quiet little warming the room, silently.
The GUI dashboard, one page for all BA miners is great, easy and looking nice.

I feel sorry for the sucker that paid $999 for this X3 as he'll only make about $300 by the time it uses more power than it mines in coins and has to be turned off.

The owner canceled all the bids, then let the first bidder win it. He stated as the reason, that he hadn't tested it and then when he did test it, the PSU wasn't working so that's why he canceled all the bids. Why he let the one bidder win at $999 is odd though. Probably the whole thing was a scam anyway.
Could you explain the reasoning behind posting that picture?
EDIT: OOPS, didn't put BA down in this post, BA sucks and are scum...There I feel better.
Also the picture of me is nice, a nice selfie from back in high school.
People are still waiting for their refund, please go send them their money ASAP.

From my understanding their Scrypt asics will only be sold as In Stock items to end users.
Maybe they are looking for more of an investor types? Dunno, I haven't heard anything.

If BA takes preorders on this scrypt asic of theirs, this will officially become a Ponzi scheme.
They already are. It says right on their website to contact them for a price. They are selling pre taped out scrypt ASICS. What a joke!
People, look at the scrypt scene. The hashrate is exploding with all the new ASICS coming on the market. They have marginally better power numbers for miners claiming to be out in December, than whats available today. By the time they actually ship, these will be as worthless as their other product lines.
By the way, there is no way to actually contact them. Clicking the blue link on the product page just reloads the page. And going to their contact us doesn't have an option for scrypt. Real professional launch of your new product BA.
To be fair to Black Arrow, they only say ready December, they don't say which year. Odds on it being Dec 2018 should be fair.
Don't forget that 1 black arrow 'next week' = ~40 real world weeks.
