file a report with the HK police, consumer council and your local police force. The time
for asking for a refund past months ago...

What's the fucking point of having a website, their pre-order scam is over and they have nothing anybody will buy on their site.

I'm still out the $5k that I paid them in November 2013 and have received nothing but lies to date.

Fuck these scumbags1

anyone taking bets that the database wasn't backed up and they lost all the data on the whole site?

Data seemed to be there when I posted as I could see order and communication history.
However site is down as I am writing.

Their email server doesn't react as well... That s*** doesn't smell good as I am/was still hoping for my compensation....

Dear customers,

Our website is currently down due to HDD catastrophic failure.

We have been waiting for our ISP to bring it back online for the last 24 hours. 12 hours ago they brought it back online but the mysql database is corrupted. While we tried to restore it from the backup we lost ssh access and we are unable to login anymore. We are waiting for our ISP to restore the access.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are doing our utmost to bring it back online but as the server is in Germany we cannot fix it ourselves and must wait for our ISP to fix it.

Thank you for your patience.

One of the scummiest, scammiest Mining companies to date in Bitcoin's sleazy manufacturers history.

The amount of reputable mining companies that deliver on time and on spec, you can probably count on one hand.

Thank God I was able to get out of my Black Arrow X-1s order through Minersource somehow, and they themselves have proved to be somewhat underhanded.

Between BFL and Black Arrow, they've definitely left an indelible stain on the mining scene.

Not too many miner companies besides Spondoolies and Bitmain, that you can truly count on.  KNC and Cointerra have proven to be shit companies.  Maybe Rockminer/Asicminer, but that's about it.

Don't forget to add AMT Miners and Bitminer to the shit list.

anyone trying to get to the blackarrow site... your not gonna be able to...

webserver hosted at address http://91.205.173.3/ is down

doing a DNS check their NS servers are still up and running, but interestingly.. both point to the 91.205.173.3 and 185.2.102.115

185.2.102.115 is their forum server... ecointalk... which a lot of people have been blocked from accessing now
91.205.173.3 is the main blackarrowsoftware.com web server... which is currently not responding to requests at all.

anyone got any other info about this ?
