I figured as much I realize they are self contained. But do they generate the coins? Or are you still tied to something like BTC Guild to place shares and get some in return?
Thanks for the info.

From my sources I can say the minion chips from black arrow have a good amount of headroom to overclocking so it's very good we will be coming out with a Minion Hive that will clock out at with 8 wasp blades x 2 Chips Minion 28nm chips per Wasp would mine at over 1.8 Th/s The Neptune does look promising though.
I'll be honest I believe Black Arrow is what I want.
But the only mining I've done is basic or erupter, so is it the same? I simply add my BTC Guild info to the Black arrow device, and let it run?
Or with such a big machine are there more efficient ways to go about this?
Seems like such a noobish question but having a hell of a time finding how you set one of these big bastards up lol.
thank You
Many ASICs have built in software (KNC, Bitfury, Avalon, ASICMiner) that sometime run on a built in Raspberry Pi or BeagleBoneBlack. You just need to configure it with your Network and Pool settings to get them to run. You can set them up and forget them for the most part. Or you can fiddle with them until your fingers fall off. Other devices (Butterfly Labs) need a host PC to run CGMiner or BFGMiner (and in some cases, a Stratum Proxy although apparently BFGMiner has it built in now) to run them.
I honestly don't know what BlackArrow are doing but I would guess that they are standalone.
Sorry if this is too much information but you are trying to dive into the deep end without learning the basic fundamentals and it's probably going to be difficult for you. It was for me too and I still learn new stuff every flippin' day!
And you are a bit behind the curve to earn the easy coin. It becomes more difficult every day and who knows where we'll be when you finally receive your preorder months from now... if it ever comes. Scams are everywhere!
Good luck!

Come into some money in the new year. and I'm thinking, screw it. We have the cheapest power in the country, and why give someone else my profit.
I'm considering buying the Black arrow X-1 (ten of them I guess)
Or maybe just suck it up and buy the X-3.
The neptune looks promising but is more than double the x-3 for 50% increase?
But as a noob to mining. Could I reasonably get this in the mail. plug it in down stairs and monkey my way through setup?
Or do I need an IT degree and weeks of learning to get it setup?
All in or all out. I'd essentially set this up and forget it.
Do I setup a wallet on the machine that it sends the coins to?
This mining thing has me a bit miffed lol
Thank You
Shawn
P.S. Half the year I can just crack a window and get free cooling
