Re: Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $1.99/GH/s, miners from $2.97/GH/s
All february month u will be hollydays due china's new year are u shure that 24 feb is a real deal?
100% sure.
Ergo, Black Arrow garnered more sales all the way up to the 11th hour before announcing that tape out had yet to happen and will be delayed till yesterday, whereupon they announced again it'll be another three days, stating that Verisilcon, a big ass company, will stop whatever they're doing and work over the weekend to get this dingy ass contract of their's out the door for Black Arrow.
Fuckin' amazing, when you think of it.
Matt, I created my order 5 days ago when it was still saying Feb 24 shipping. I have been unable to transfer using BTC so will now do a wire transfer. If you receive my bank wire in the coming week can you confirm that my Prospero X3 will be available on February 24? BTW I also included hosting so I would expect the unit to start hashing on Feb 24 or 25 at the latest.
Also, how confident are you that the Prospero X3 Batch 1 will indeed hit the Feb 24 target date, given that there is no news on the ASIC tapeout as yet. With two months left, and the Spring Festival holiday in China that leaves barely 7 weeks for tapeout, server prototyping, and testing.
I appreciate your response

We're absolutely on track for Feb 24th. We're going to be unaffected by the Chinese new year.
Orders are shipped by the order they're paid. Since you purchased 5 days ago, I don't expect you're going to be hashing on the same day. We're going to be filling orders very quickly but you still have to allow some time for everything to be put in place.
Yea blackarrow has been really bad letting people know were batches were. First they said batch 1 was closed, and were going into batch 2. Now there saying that batch 1 is open, but hey were shipping your units march 10, instead of February 24. It's pretty pathetic actually, to see this company with a good product, to have such terrible customer service. Instead of just hiring people for 2 dollars an hour, they would rather try and do it themselves, and at the end of the day it's just costing them some serious $ signs
That's not what they said, they repeatedly said batch1 is set for original ship date, batch 2 is march ship date. If you followed this thread the last few days you'd know that so i assume this is a troll post.
Batch 1 is when we get all of the ASICs created.
Batch 1 will be shipped starting Feb 24th 2014. Because of the number of orders, if you buy now, your order will be shipped after March 10th 2014.
This date change is less about what batch you're in and more about when you can expect your product to ship. This date change is done as a courtesy.
We can't ship all orders on Feb 24th. That's just not realistic.
Matt, do you still expect to start shipping 24th?
Absolutely. Everything is coming together nicely. I purchased a Prospero X-3 on 30/11/2013 at BlackArrowSoftware. The delivery is on 24/02/2014, right?
If you paid for it on November 30th, yes.
Great. Thanks for you fast reply. Keep up the good work.
