Great argument! But how do you explain Verisilicon replying when not once, not twice, but three times they were asked if Black Arrow was one of their customers with an affirmative? The exact same argument applies here.

What is being asked is in no way NDA related.

No reply.

It's been over a week. What was the reply from Global Foundries when asked if Black Arrow has a contract with them in producing a 28nm chip from sand that'll hash zeros and ones into money?

Bump

So will this be done manually? ETA?

That would be me.

Difficulty will definitely not be 19 billion in May. My estimate is around 10-11 billion.

Hope all is cool over here in this thread. AMT's been digging me a new asshole for the past couple days.

How can you see what difficulty you're mining at in elugius?

Done.

Yes, same here.

Thats nice to hear, and nice to see a proactive approach to this issue, I would like to be put on the list to receive one with my order.

Is that pretty much confirmation that these 2 units will be completely separate units?  The last we had heard was that BA were not sure if the 2 boxes would be independent of one another, or if they would have to be daisy chained together.

Well I'll probably be using Eligius and there's no option for adjusting difficulty. The internet at the apartment is pretty shitty (free, included in rent) so I don't wanna run into any troubles there.

Thanks guys

Also does anyone know at what point internet speed can become a bottleneck? How much bandwidth is gonna be used at 2TH/s?

Thanks for the recommendation, but I think I'll just go with a long ethernet cable.

I didn't realize how cheap they had gotten since I last looked.
I'm gonna wait til it gets closer to the shipping date before I buy though. Need to figure out if I should go with the 25 or 50 feet option.

For us laymen, does that mean they are on, ahead, or behind schedule?

I'm glad to see some information coming out, just like the rest of us, and I can see how people might get aggravated if they think someone is spamming or trolling this thread when all they are looking for are clear answers to production questions.

However, BA didn't bother to give us information until people started getting pretty bitchy about it, and just kept telling us all was hunky dory, when it clearly was not.  There are still some things that they are simply not answering.

It is also interesting to me that nobody, or close to nobody, seems bothered by some of the shady dealings that some of the people seemingly associated with BA have seemingly had and are just willing to take them at their word again, or that nobody will seemingly step forward and say, "I am the owner(s) of Black Arrow", as if it is some sort of fucking State Secret.  That, to me, is the largest Red Flag in this entire thing. 

If had a shred of doubt about them when making the decision to buy, and I looked through this forum as best I could before doing so, there's no way in hell I'd have given these people my money for exactly the reasons we are seeing now, in terms of putting their profit before their customers, which is what, IMO, they are doing. 

Does that surprise me?  No.  Does that mean I think it is right or that I should just shut up about that distaste?  Again, no.

People may disagree, which is fine, of course, but I think it takes a complete absence of any sort of integrity at the highest levels of any company to implement a policy whereby they are seemingly walking with profit and continuing to pocket mined coins, if that is actually the case, while their customers take a substantial hit for their failure to deliver on time.  It's bullshit, and, yes, I know that other companies have done it.  I don't give a shit if that's the common practice, that does not in any way justify it from any angle. 

People thinking about buying a miner should know this stuff, if it is indeed true, as these are large purchases, so, while I can see how some can be frustrated at times at what they see as noise in the thread, some of this information may be of use to people thinking about buying a miner and deciding who they can and cannot trust.

That motherfucker only came here to do one motherfucking thing and that was to delete my posts, not giving a SHIT about any questions/concerns or refunds.

FUCK YOU, BLACK ARROW! FUCK YOU!

Obviously, PM'ing won't work because he was here a couple hours ago, stopping by only long enough to delete my posts, then leave.

Scammy motherfucker if you ask me.

By the way, I'm not a customer of Black Arrow, but neither am I of Mt Gox, yet https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5402576

According to InstaWallet, they didn't have any customers, ergo taking 1,132 BTC (documented) from me didn't happened, according to them.

Let me tell you how pissed off I am at the you mohterfuckin' bitcoiners that I'm trying to help on my dime/time, but you feel like I'm the asshole here. If I ever meet any of you fuckers in person that's been sticking it up my ass, I WILL put you to sleep. And that's a motherfuckin' promise.

Now, which every one of you cocksuckers is the one that alerts Alex Sovu, the scamming bastard, about me posting in his self-moderated thread, do your fucking dick sucking now.
