My apologies to everyone else, but BA keeps deleting posts, we need these here for future generations and for reference.
Well I have asked time and time again, what has BA actually done? They have told us that the chip was designed by a group at I think it was Versilicon then sent off for manufacturing. The backplanes had to have other teams come in to fix the issues because BA wasn't competent enough to even do that. They have outsourced every single other part, so basically, there only job has been to receive units, write software, assemble, and ship.
Now they have said, there are many factories around that they can use to assemble, and yet, this has been a total shit storm as they can't seem to get it right.
Receive parts, it has taken at least 5 different LCD companies and who knows how many companies to get the case designed (still never figured out what happened to the plastic ones). Then power supplies have had major screw ups, and apparently, now the control board (which I guess they didn't even design) isn't right. Sure doesn't sound like they got this part right.
Write software...well, look at past posts. They have continuously said that it will take "x" number of weeks to have whatever piece of software written. Units ship, and software is buggy, things don't seem to work properly, and the "surprise" which apparently is just being able to daisy chain them together (which is worthless since they didn't tell us this and anyone expecting any number of these units probably already has the infrastructure in place to handle multiple units.), still has not been released. So they can't even write software in a timely manner.
Ship...Don't even need to write anything here as I think it is pretty self evident they have fallen flat on their asses on this one.
So, that leaves customer service as what they are actually doing. I think their customer service can pretty much be classified as a joke at this point. You have a known criminal running this shady operation, and doesn't have anything better to do than counter legitimate questions with nonsense on these forums.
So I would have to say, that everything about BA has been a fail. They can barely assemble a device, much less a properly working one. I must agree with Dogie on his "F" rating of this failure of an endeavor.
Oh and BA, you keep asking me to stop and go away. Well you must not have read my terms when you accepted my order. They clearly state, that in the event of nondelivery or utter incompetence on the part of the manufacturer, I am entitled to do whatever I want, as long as it doesn't stray from the truth, in calling them out as much as necessary, up until a time that I am either satisfied or paid a bribe of 10 bitcoins. Now obviously, it is much more cleaner than that, but you get the gist. So I wish I could go away and forget you stupid asses, but since we both must abide by our ToS, it just doesn't seem like I am able to.
Good morning (I assume its your morning about now), I hope your chi isn't too effected by the utter shit storm you have created for yourselves.
Or they're actually semi competent, built them and have been producing/mining with them 6-8 months and decided to see how many "shipping next week" runs they could do while mining until they got a call from an actual attorney with any clout (to date my guess is that the number of calls from such has been zero). It doesn't take a lot of effort to look clueless on the internet and to a few resellers. Keep all your prototypes in a closet until late in the game, break those out and show them as just having been put together, and no one does a thing other than bitch. It's the perfect crime. They get the money, they sell the product, eventually even deliver the product and all the while people just assume they're stupid as opposed to being evil. SHA-256 miners are a dying breed, why not build them, soak everyone and let the whole thing fold. It's not like it was a business you could make a profit in more than a year from now. New coins, SCRYPT, x11 = No more bitcoin arms race soon. Notice how they ditched their BA scrypt miner, it will be released under another company name probably with a new logo and new awesome promises, wash, rinse, repeat.
Dumping some X1's (that are mainly doorstops now) was just throwing the dog a bone earning yet another few months of "Next week" while squeezing the last few precious orphan's tears out of those X3's before dusting them off and shipping new X3's to people.
So, has anyone who signed up for their 5 day hosting had BA request a pool/miner/wallet etc yet? Seems to me that would be a pretty core requirement if they thought they were shipping within a month and no request to date. No info on that hosting. Because they're months away being given to us while they get those last few precious coins mined.
