If you're confident in your assertion that details have been posted on this forum then back it up by providing a link.

It's important to note that Black Arrow have delivered nothing at this stage and everything they have said has been contradicted by their their own subsequent [spurious?] updates, so rather than just slack-jawing that 'something was said on the forum' how about you actually follow what's happened and appreciate that almost everything that BA have said up till now has been utter bullshit.

Maybe if BA finally get a product launched then they'll be in a position to publish information that can be relied upon, but you'll appreciate that the commentator above inquiring about exact specs is absolutely correct in seeking confirmed information from BA rather than potentially wasting more money on a power supply that isn't suitable for the requirements.

BA have said a lot, "Ya, ya, we're absolutely confident we can deliver in February..." but their words have proven to be garbage, they can't even communicate with their customers in a unified way and instead there's a revolving door of apparently well-meaning nobodies who parrot whatever rubbish BA feeds them, meanwhile customers are supposed to wait and wait and wait and give them the benefit of the doubt? - Nope, the real world doesn't work that way.

 

They have said it will be possible, but that you will need to solder something in order to do it. They will be releasing specs on how to soon.

Wow.. The PSU for the X3 is $220. I'm still hoping they decide last minute to include it with the extra unit for free..

Email [email protected] and give them your order details.

In the interest of being fair and open, I'm happy to report that my order from ~5 months ago has finally been transferred to the latest site. Hallelujah

Anybody else have their order# change after Minersource transfered to their new site? My order# went from 7xx to 23xx.

So I would get double my hashing power if bust out the soldering iron and re-attach the loose caps? Awsome. 

I appreciate it, but it still says that no account exists with my email address in the forgot password page. I'll also send an email.

KnC delivered product, made a lot of money and mined a whole lot of coins. What an awesome company!

I suggest you read back over the last ten pages on this thread, or even the last couple of pages and see what other customers have written. The reason I suggest this is it seems that you haven't really been following this thread otherwise you probably wouldn't ask such a question.

In the end it's all up to you.

BlackArrow are acting completely dishonourably.

Delay after delay has eroded the viability of their products that customers purchased and the compensation scheme is simply an attempt to coerce customers to try to salvage their investment by throwing good money after bad.

 

Or perhaps allow them to be sold?  I would split a 50% discount with someone to get 2 miners.   ie...

Someone ordered a single X-1, but cannot afford or chooses not to buy another X-1.  In this scenario, the customer would get nothing based on the current model.  If they were allowed to be sold, I pay customer 1 some agreed upon amount, then use his discount to buy an X-1 and get 2 shipped to me.  I would buy up all I could in this scenario and be a happy customer.

Thanks. Hopefully it will be imported before the miners start shipping.

Thank you very much Matt for taking care of your customers. I just wish you would import my order into your new site.

I am going to assume that I am out as far as the extra 25% off of future orders goes, although I have never once threatened any employee of BA.  Good thing I ordered through MinerSource and BA cannot link this account to my order account.  And for that matter, I have supported BA, whether that be in my almost 10,000 dollars of orders so that they can develop their chip, or through making them answer the tough questions posed by the community, of which they owe so much to.

And on to this compensation plan, now more money has to be thrown at you to get any compensation at all, whether that be getting our extra shipped miners to work (power supplies) or getting the money off of future orders?  So we went from getting free stuff added on for funding development, to, "give us more money or your left with nothing extra."  I think the last 2 pages of outrage by your customers shows that this was actually a step backwards.  If 50% extra hashing power is all your going to give us fine, but what led to the idea of not putting the power supply in them?  Why would you give us a product that we cannot use (unless we are really good with I assume soldering as these have special control boards to hook up to a ATX power supply?  I would have to assume you know most of your customers will not be able to do that themselves so was this move based entirely out of getting more money in?  I think we have a right to know.

How is mid-May to early June a few days away?


So every customer now has to wire more money or their order won't be shipped?

I know a Nigerian prince who's making a better offer!

I hope immigration shipps your ass back to Romania.

What note?

Black Arrow increases the compensation for preorders
As our shipping is few days away, we wish to thank and give back to all customers that have believed in us.
Today we are increasing increasing the compensation as we are looking to start rewarding our loyal customers:
For Batch 1 customers, the 25% cloud hashing compensation previously announced will be replaced with 50% in the form of physical hardware. The extra hardware will not include power supply or shipping but they will be available to purchase from our store. We will also offer a technical solution for customers who wish to use their own power supplies.
Details:
Every X3 will contain 3 * 1Thash modules, 2 modules with power supplies, one without.
Every 2 * X1 will receive an extra X1, without power supply. Customers who have not purchased even numbers of X1, for the miner that has no pair, we will also offer a free X1 on their next X1 purchase.
Cloud hashing packages will receive 50% extra hashing power minus setup and maintenance costs which will be announced at a later date.
All customers who have placed pre-orders until 05/05/2014 will be offered 25% discount on all future orders of miners based on Minion (limit: up to 10 times the hashing power of their previous orders)
Pending sales and further reducing costs once we go into mass production we are looking to continue offering discounts to the customers that have supported us and made the Minion & Prospero a success story.
Note: The discounts for future orders are offered only to customers who have believed in us and continued to support us. They will not be offered to customers who requested refunds and to a small minority who abused or threatened any member of Black Arrow Team.
