Topic: Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $0.49/GH/s - page 85. (Read 787050 times)

BA could NOT do in months what technobit did with BA chips in half the time but they have competent engineers lol . Who gets beat building something you have months of access to first ,BA needs to add a D to there name and call themselves BADS. You cant make this crap up its to easy to see just how inept this company is now .

I asked for a refund this morning stating that I will give the go ahead for my lawyer in Shenzhen who will work with my lawyer in The Virgin Islands and continue discussions with Scotland Yard if I don't have shipping info by the end of the month as it's the last promise I'm prepared to take. 
 
I will not sit quietly anymore after investing US$25K in this company and will happily spend more to regain that investment from them plus compensation if the lawyers do their job correctly.
 
I hope they actually don't send my X3s now because I will have a better chance of return through the legal system.  I'd love to see them produce the documents that made them decide they were ahead of schedule back in January let alone all the other documents they would need to produce to show why they have gone against almost everything they have told us.  i.e. documents to show the LCD orders from multiple companies and every document showing orders for each revision of board etc.  I don't believe they would be able to produce them so as my lawyer has stated... Should be a walk in the park.
 
This is the reply and if they are true to their word about their production capabilities (again, documents will be required) then it should only be a matter of days before they hit my order.  If I find that they've shipped to re sellers first then I'm not waiting for the end of month.

Dear customer,

We have started shipping X3s on Saturday. We apologize for not posting evidence on our website, unfortunately we did not have time for this. We are shipping in the order of payments.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
Black Arrow Team

Consider this scenario:

a. After months of cooling in oil the obsolete hash boards are removed and built into X3 miners for customers.

b. The miners are shipped to angry customers.

c. The customers plug in the units and start hashing in spite of the fact they'll never recover more than 10% of their investment.

d. The heat from the ASICs vaporizes the residue oil on the hash boards and quickly fills the room with an explosive vapor.

e. The capacitors that can't explode produce only sparks.





 

Sad thing is everyone who bought BA's load of crap would of been able to buy bigger and better at least 2 months ago.

That actually makes sense as to why the orders in the 100s aren't being touched yet. Ship out the orders of the people requesting refunds first, so you don't have to refund them. Then ship out orders for people who don't say anything, as they have most likely given up.

People on their forums are reporting that their miners are being shipped, even though their orders have been canceled after they have requested refunds.

BA haven't even moved on the #800-series orders yet, so don't hold your breath.

Bobsag,

Can you tell me when order #1429 will ship? I spoke with you by phone on the 14th, and you said it should ship by Friday. I have seen no sign of any activity on my order.

thanks

A little excitement today.

Go my 2nd X-1 in the mail.

Pulled it out of the box and set it up on my desk plugged the cable into the back of the unit and then into the powerstrip. There was a thunderous electrical crackle and spark and the room went dark.

Looks like the power supply died and popped the circuit breaker along with it.

This is the first piece of electrical equipment I have had die straight out of the box that I can remember. It sure does smell bad!

they dump their old miners cause they've got the new ones to mine with

and then this will become the X3 's and the X2 product (when they have suck all of the out of this shit)
backplane was a shitty reason they found to delay the delivery of their boards while they hashing



I hope the whole building will collapse on them with a giant hearthquake
(just after they send all the orders   )

Is there something wrong with their pricing model?

that's normal, they need to make the money come in

notice that the price is quite ok for this product
(that's normal, surely a lot of BTC has been mined with and it might cost them nothing)

it's not the same for our over priced X3s we payed looongtime ago

how a company can sell direct order cheaper than preorders ??

answer: the cheap direct order product cost them nothing and it already made a lot of BTC

welcome in the BA world ...

this makes me sick... how they can do it just in front of us ?
they screwed us and they show us how well it was ...  

I think what I would do as well is check every other electrical item in your house and see if it has done any damage to other gear you own.
Also, I wouldn't open it up, id get a certified electrician to open it and give a detailed report in writing.
You might need that sort of proof if you want to claim anything from these assholes.
Just my opinion of course.
