I will still be receiving my first batch next week, I have elected to receive the entire batch without the LCD in order to get them ASAP. Screens will be received and distributed after the fact those who want it.

Do you have any idea about whether they will have the plastic case or the metal one?

Metal. I never advertised or stated the X1s would have wifi or anything of the sort, so I am full steam ahead in getting the X1s out to customers ASAP. Most dont care for the LCDs as stated here often enough.

Completely agree, don't care about LCD (possibly want in future if it ever gets fixed for resell purposes) or WiFi (LAN is better anyway), but my concern is stacking of units, which was and still is advertised, but David has said will not be possible with metal case. Has this been fixed or will we need tons of space to spread them out?

And if the X3 ever does ship, I really can't see how they can afford to give proper compensation; they'll 100% go bankrupt.

Not if they've been mining them all this time. They would have plenty of cash to provide good compensation and maybe even enough for us to recoup our losses. They win, we go away bruised but can't complain!

1. We control the horizontal and the vertical.

2. The X3 hash boards are going to be ~~taken from the~~ made into an X2 raspberry pie hash farm.

3. No LCD for you lucky X1 customer.

4. Punch and pie for rent a minion customers.

5. X3 customers have 6 teams of engineers working 24 hours a day on the problem.

Short update:

X1 arrived earlier today, broken cable included, but luckily I had a spare.
A wire inside the case blocked the fan from spinning.
Have yet to get the unit hashing, but after lots of trial and error, I am at least able to login to the web front-end.

Does it have a pi or a custom controller in it?

I'm not seeing any circuit diagrams for the X3 backplane.

I guess this means they fixed the problem, mass production is underway and we can expect our miners early next week.

After being flamed at on the ecointalk forums for asking this very question, I contacted MinerSource and they stated that they will not know what cords will come with your unit until it arrives at their facility. They will then notify people on whether they need to buy cords or not.

Per ecointalk forums, David said they would do their best to ensure everyone has the correct cord, this was also stated previously in updates. But, the first actual miner, received by MinerSource, did not come with a power cord per Thomas_s, and the first miner, not to a BA employee or reseller, came with the wrong cord (per ecointalk forums). Obviously we know what BA's best is given our current situation, but I think given proper notice from MinerSource I can still order cables and have them arrive in time with my units so I cam holding out for that. (although I would be very unhappy to have to lay down another 10 or so dollars per X-1 along with shipping costs)

We may go ahead and purchase sufficient cables for our US customers.

/cheer, once again MinerSource showing why they get the gold amongst all this fail.

.....and my faith in thinking we would receive X-1's this month is starting to dip low again. Quite frustrating, but on the bright side i just ordered a GAW miner that GUARENTEED to be shipped on the 16th or they will pay the amount it would mine for everyday it is late.

Too bad we had to be the canaries in the coal mine for a company to learn how to do correct compensation eh?

Why do you feel your entitled to compensation be glad that your getting your btc back and hope the value goes up.

I understand his though process, BA said that all bitcoins would be converted to USD to pay for production costs, and by not doing so, they were effectively gambling, risk free, with customers money. I understand their position as well, you paid in bitcoin, you get the same amount back. Its just a shitty situation that could all be solved if they would do the job of a halfway decent company and provide some kind of information, ANYTHING would be helpful at this point.

X3 progression ?!

They need to come up with the next stall tactic on the X3.

They did a stellar job on the X1, where magically the original controller started working the moment people started asking about the rpi version shipping.

I'm sure they'll be able to milk this backplane "problem" for many weeks worth of delay.

Still able to mine $50 in BTC a day, it's going to be a few more months before they're unprofitable and ready for the customers.

Bobsag, what temperature is the X-1 running at now being over 12 hours into mining?

Exhaust is around 80F, about 5F above the surrounding area, 10F higher than the rest of the room.

Thank you, can you share which power cord came with the X-1 as the other person who has said they received one in the U.S. said they got a foreign power cord and had to run out and get one?
