you can see a one of their staff is inspecting for flaws on the hardware made, and she certainly does look Chinese to me. And them being located at China, that tallies up.

10/10 investigation work

The only reason I decided to give them a chance is because they (according to others) have delivered and even on time.

Hmm I was about to unload all my bitcoins on them until I saw this thread hahaha. Well they do have one of the best bang for buck asics out there. If you found better ones, do let me know lol.

However, I personally don't think that they're a scam, if you take a look at the 2nd vid posted:

You could order from Butterfly labs, but my goodness, anyone who has ordered stuff from them will know, exactly how longgggggggg we had to wait lol. But the good thing about them is, they eventually deliver, so if blackarrow proves to be a scam, which i doubt so, then I just might have to settle with a monarch card.

So why are the UK and US numbers the same? Everything about the site and prices does seem a bit off.

hi,

i *wanted* to buy, ordered with payment by bitcoin, then got after ~12 hour an email with the Bitcoin amount to submit the payment to within a 24hour frame. However i got online 25hour after this, so i missed the deadline - since then 9 days have passed and i have no reply from them.

This makes me at least believe that there is a certain risk involved.

Don't listen to the Trolls. Black Arrows FPGAs were sold through CardReaderFactory. So this is not news.
They also have links to Europe, so hosting in Germany is not exactly anything to worry about.

I have talked to the people at blackarrow, they respond fast and have shipped product before. I don't think they are a scam.

No NO.....HUGE SCAM!! ALERT ALERT!!!

DO NOT BUY!!!

They will not deliver, EVER!!! Cool

so, typing random info on some forum...how useful is this? Really, think about it?

I rely on the guys who have been to their facilities and talked to them (posted pics etc).

If you need more proof than this than you are..well, gay. You put the 'g' in gay.

It is as simple as that. You are gay and you love the cock and should not involve yourself with bitcock.

Yes I agree, 100% a scam, suggest you do NOT buy
/sarcasm

Now with all the unsold units they will drop the price and I can buy even more than I already have.

LOL , BlackArrow and Alex are legit .... gotta have some patience in this game.
Unless you want to buy some BF boards right now ( i have plenty , that I'd gladly sell , only to give BA more money for new stuff Wink

They are legit. I have met them. I have bought stuff from them. They are a professional operation. The customer support team have been swamped with support tickets, that's all. Looking forward to my Bitfurys & X3
