are black arrow legit? i wanna put some orders in and 10 x-1s is most affordable option for me right now. but dont want to loase a few thousand $$

.. bitmine.ch is a EU company
they are located in Switzerland and Switzerland is definitely not a EU member 

No.

Yes? Maybe no?

look at your signature...Someone is angry 

Should be fucking mandatory for bitcoin ASIC companies to show a photo of thier board otherwise not be allowed to advertise for SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE PROVEN TO EXSIST, AKA VAPOURWARE, AKA FALSE ADVERTISING

Of course, any asic miner will work for Sha-256 but not for scrypt

Peercoin(PPC) and Namecoin(NMC) uses SHA-256 hash algorithm just like Bitcoin.Is it possible to use bitcoin mining hardwares to mine PPC and NMC?

True, but at the same time, you have to know that the mining gear manufacturers can make as many machines as they want for their own mining and their own benefit! They want money from us so we can fund their own investments. So basically they will be the ones that dominate the BTC market, and not us hobbyists anymore.....

My prediction 2014. Watch this space.

I like how everyone has a crystal ball that can predict the future. If you knew BTC was better than mining equipment then why didn't you buy BTC when it was sub .01 back in 2011? Could have gotten 10k of BTC for the price of a pizza.  Is holding BTC now really that great of an idea? For someone to make double their investment BTC would need to go to $1800.  Funny I heard the same arguments about KNC first generation machines. Never ROI. Well now people are saying I could have made more by holding BTC.  Yes you could have if you didn't get cold feet when BTC went to $60 in July and sold because you thought this was the end for BTC.

Yeah, KNC answered my question in 24 hours with a really good attitude.  I flinched and decided against ordering, silly me.  Then again, putting that money directly into btc would have paid off even more.   c'est la vie. 

I was going to order a set of 10 of the Prospero X1 and sent in a question in regards to them but have not heard back from them after 4 days.  If that's the attitude they have towards customer's I'll take the wait and see option

I'm confused, minimum order is 10, so is that 10 orders of 100gh miners so 1 TH in miners?

http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/prospero-x-1.html 

  so 3.33 usd a gh times 3000 gh = 10000 usd

they say 2nd quarter .  well late 1st or second quarter .    so march 20th? to may 1st fits the bill.  a long way off.  still kn has made money for me so I may get me some

the price on the Neptune is about $10,000.00 for previous customers.

Wasps & Hive

The Hives (Mother Planes)

On board USB hub with a port for each blade.
Upstream port connects to linux board or box.
At least one extra port for potential billboard display or local display & cooling-controller.
On board 24-pin and 6/8 pin connectors for PC power supply (650-750W) provides 3.3, 5, and 12 V.
Last blade connector can accept a server power supply (12V only) for higher power operation, not needed when system is tuned for low-power consumption, or when it has fewer than a full load of blades.
8 available connection points for the Wasps.
Any Wasp no matter the type of the chip will work with the Hives.
All blades driven through USB hub.
Stand-alone hive is just a small card with sockets for power and USB.
Hot swap will be added in 2nd or 3rd iteration of the hive.
Linux embedded system to run cgminer/bfgminer bolts right down onto big mobo.

The Wasps (Blades)

Wasps can slot into mother plane.
Wasps can stand alone and be stacked FPGA style.
Wasps are made to fit the mother plane form factor.
Wasps can be independently powered and controlled without mother plane.

28nm

A1 Wasp

Bitmine A1 Chips Available Mid to Late December
240 Gh/s Overclocked (6 chips); more likely, with untested chips, 200 GH/s per board

Nominal total 1.920 Th/s, for a single 48 chip hive (assuming that all chips are fully working AND overclock to 40GH - not really likely, but our software can get the most possible out of them).

Nominal likely total hashing from 50 chips (and this is all that Bitmine guarantees) is 48 x 25 = 1.2 TH on 8 boards

Minion Wasp

Black Arrow Minion Chips Available Late February

520 Gh/s Standard (4 chips) per Wasp maybe a 6 chip version could be worked out although there are hints higher hash numbers can be achieved per chip according to leaked information from the BA engineers.

8 slots x 520 Gh/s. Nominal total 4.16 Th/s; more likely lower but undetermined yet as to the max / min Gh/s per board.

Prices: Undetermined but you can do rough calculations based on the chip prices for the A1 and Minion and use Asian bog standard board fabrication prices for existing BitFury / Asicminer blades and backplanes as a rough guide.

Note: We will be selling licenses to those who wish to fabricate these boards. We will have a working prototype using BitFury chips by December the 13th, 2013. A1 Wasps could start production as early as Early January, 2014. Minion Wasps could start production as early as Late February and more likely Early March, 2014. Production depends on whether chips are shipped on time by Bitmine and Black Arrow.

Neptune ?sounds interesting but i think i wont be more than 1 TH/s,if yes so it will be very expensive at this moment Cointerra is op and trustable company 

Alright so the miners have now been placed in order of hashing power in ascending order. BFL has a warning next to it to warn any potential buyers of its bad reputation.

ouh yes! remove them! i hope no one is even thinking about to buy something from them!

why in the world would u add BFL there?
