and that they have an on going pro to type here


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/black-arrow-r9-12-threads-dz-miners-co-op-plz-move-s-and-discussion-here-328996    hashing made money has bugs


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closedr17x-black-arrow-prospero-x-3-dzmc-exclusive-130-40ghs-335145    you can buy at 130 a share 50 shares

  comes to 6500 a miner  a small premium .  


 read carefully both threads.  I have 2 shares of this. r17

  read the r9 -r12 yeah it is long but it is your money.  I have 11 shares of it.

If this is a real company and if the r17 buy is good all older gear sucks.

since  i made money on the r9 to r12 .  I grabbed some r17.  I am on the fence as to purchasing 10 more shares for 400gh

despite all the hype, I honestly doubt they can ship on time. I do hope they can prove me wrong because I am their customer as well. they priced their product competitively with cointerra though.

That's what people were saying about BFL mid 2012...

Yeah, and back then they were rightly saying BFL had a proven trackrecord of delivering FPGA miners.
About one year later than they promised.

Blackarrow so far seems to have done pretty much what they promised. Granted, there is a big difference between producing boards based on FPGAs and a custom asic, but its still unfair to compare them to BFL. Id also add that BA had one of the most conservative public timetables. Thats no guarantee they will deliver, but I wouldnt be surprised if BA shipped their kit before BFL gets Monarch out of the door, and Id be willing to bet that if you order today, a BA miner will be delivered before a Monarch ordered today.

April?They say their products will be available on 24 February,2014.

Yes thats when they say shipping will begin in order or payment, which means if you order now, you'll not likely get it before sometime in March at the earliest. Unless you think you will ROI in 2 weeks, difficulty in April and beyond will determine how "cheap" you think you bought your miner, and by that time, almost all vendors will be shipping their latest product in volume.

Its a real company with a proven trackrecond supplying FPGA miners. There is very little to no doubt their asic project is genuine. Whether or not they will be able to deliver what they promise when they promise,  is anyone's guess, but that goes for every other company out there.

I'm waiting on some cash and then definitely buying into black arrow. If it ships Q1 it is a really nice buy compared to the cointerra and neptune right now. I'm excited to see how they transition from FPGA.

They still haven't given any real pictures of the products.I am very eager to get the prospero X-1.But not sure if I will get what I will pay for.

I think that April launch he was taking about was Cointerra. But I could be talking out my ass here too, i've been known to before.

You need to learn how HTC works.

The bfl stock selling now. Will be completely useless when ba launches. As we go along you need more and more power to get the same coins.

Think of TH as the new GH. The next generation after the x-3 will likely be 10s or 100s of TH and likely the same price point.

Bfl was cheap on pre order. Wait and see what the x-3 sells for in Feb Smiley

How it could it not be real? And its no different than cointerra's april batch.

Whether you will still find those an unbelievable deal by that time, we shall see in April, but there is no doubt BFL is offering lousy deals.

I have been looking at Black Arrow Software from last month.Their prices are too low compared to Butterflylabs(BFL) and Kncminer:

Black Arrows' Prospero X-1 (100Ghash/second) is $352 only where BFL's 50 GH/S BITCOIN MINER is $2500

Black Arrows' Prospero X-3 (2000Ghash/second) is $5950 where BFL's 600 GH/S BITCOIN MINING CARD is $4680 and Kncminer's Neptune (3000Ghash/sec) is $13000

Black Arrow's Rent-Some-Minions - 6 months for 1000Ghash/sec is $3050 and BFL's 1Ghash/sec for 1 year is $10.83 that's $5.415/6month.Now for 1000hash/sec it's $5415/6month.


As you can see in every product Black Arrow's price is just too unimaginably low.They are based in China which also makes a suspicion in me if they are legit or not.Also they don't allow group buys.They start shipping from February next year.I don't see any other provider offering anything at that price not even close to them.

They have phone numbers for China,Hong Kong,UK and US.So are they real or just a scam?Waiting to hear from specialists here.
