Topic: Black Arrow Miners ??? (Read 1951 times)

yeah it is  sad they were a very good coop and made a lot of money on buys r5,6 9,10,11,12  but r 17 was a bleeping disaster.

that is so sad...

To chip back in on this.

This coop is the best chance to see if black arrow delivers.

And frankly they look shaky at best.

They refunded over 100,000 usd  on this r17 sale including  7 of 12 shares to me.

If we are not hashing in under 20 days this will be dead deal.  If this deal is dead you will be out your 12k.

There are quite a few holes in the boat.

PG is so spot on. Danny how can you not see or understand by now that this company is facing some serious issues... Read their production updates it's so worrisome that you should start reading forums on getting back your money asap!

Hi guys,

    we were thinking about reselling for black arrow, but after reading this forum, we are not sure we should. Whats your thoughts? I personally don't like pre-orders, but is that the way to go with ASIC's?

And, if they don't ship out this month or next, then they will add another compensation package for the delay. BTW, mathematically, they can't afford the first compensation plan. Think about it!

Depends on where you bought them. If you bought them from https://www.blackarrowsoftware.com or minersource.net then you bought them from the right places.
not only that but if you order from batch 1 you get an extra 1th/s of mineing power from each x3 you bought as compensation for the delay. They should be shipping out this month   

Unfortunately I did not see your previous posts... So you are saying I am screwed and BlackArrow is just a scam?..

Did you not read my over 300 deleted posts prior to ordering, or were they deleted by the time you read the main self-moderated thread on this forum? Fortunately, some were quoted, thus preserved. In brief, Black Arrow is run by a known Romanian scam artist, of which I offered up tons of proof.

BTW, if in the future you get your hands on bitcoins and want to trade on a safe exchange, I suggest using Mount Coxs - formally Mt Gox - operated by a pedophile. Your second option is Bitcoin-Central, own my Paymium, if you're in Europe, for they're kind enough to steal my 1,132 BTC under the guise of the InstaWallet "hack" and won't return them, but davout, staff on this forum and owner of Bitcoin-Central, is keeping them warm in one of his personal bitcoin wallets.

For your next bitcoin miner purchase, may I suggest KnC: for every miner ordered and delivered late, they built two for themselves to mine with in a helicopter hangar in northern Sweden (The Node Pole). This is done so to protect their customer's best interest, i.e. keep the difficulty in check.

But, there's no need to worry about any conflicts of interests because the same investor backing KnC will also be running Mount Coxs, coupled with trying to get one of the open seats on The Bitcoin Foundation.

The above would be so fuckin' funny if in fact it weren't true.

I ordered before 1/1 and I'm batch 2.

batch 1 was open until 1-1-2014, wich was supposed to be shiped the end of feb.. en of april is batch 2

Ordered before November 30th, is Batch 1 I think.

How do I know which batch I am ... Supposed to ship April 30.

from the looks of that thread over there - it looks like good news for you!

you can stop sweating!

If you're Batch 1, you get compensation.

You ordered 2 X-3's or 4 TH/s, so you'll receive an extra 2 TH /s, for a total of 6 TH/s with your order.

Batch 2s and beyond get fucked in the asshole.

Consider yourself lucky.  You'll probably get your middle end of May, June at the latest.

Hmmm I have 12k in my account I gotta spend it on something, can't just let it sit there and earn interest but what to spend it on?... new car/motorcycle/atv? nah ... Bad arse entertainment system or computer? nah ... stocks? nah

Man must be nice to be that rich that you can impulse buy something with that big a price tag! I don't suppose you want to adopt a son?  

I'll admit I impulse buy $20 usb sticks and stupidly "invest" in $200 mining equipment, but once the price is more than rent or paycheck that's when the Old "Do I really?" needs to kick in.

Granted I know all the new "cutting edge" stuff is all $2000+ and you need to buy it to keep up with this mining game .... but come on really?

Thats a sore point with me right now, I think manufacturers not realizing that there's a segment they're not catering to, the budget miner that actually cares about ROI. (unlike usb sticks)
Sure I can buy a Antminers or ect [Edit: not endorsing just top of my head they are closest], every couple of months to keep increasing my hash-rate every couple of months once I have spare cash to burn.
Sorry no way I'm dumping whole paychecks on hardware that won't even pay for itself. AND they all seem to think we have data centers with 24/7 Air con with racking and 20A circuits that we can plug multiple 1000W PSU's in.

I get it, it's EASY to build big and power hungry and just use giant fans to cool them off but come on don't you have any talented engineers that can take an older design and scale down the power or *gasp* under clock for "retail home users".

[EDIT:Ugh typed that all out and now I think this needs it's own topic]

you should call the guys at minersource.net and see what they're hearing from Blackarrow

No updated yet... they are simply ignoring me now... I am getting a bad feeling about this....

any update on your purchase???

you should contact the guys at minersource.net - they're a reseller for blackarrow and I've bought by bitmains from them - perhaps they can give you some information/assurances.

good luck!

Yeah, I ordered miners from them last year back in the FPGA days and they delivered a well made product. They can still run today, although there is no point mining 400Mh at 35w. I do think think they will deliver. I do have concerns over the Gh/$ price matching, but I don't think you are out $12,000 for nothing. If it makes you feel any better, there are people like me who ordered back in October before the difficulty went through the roof.
