Black Arrow LTD is looking for OEM partners and is offering samples of 28nm Minion Bitcoin miner chips (discounted or free).

Here is where your hard earned pre order money went!

EDIT: They are able to give away samples of chips and $10,000 discounts, and yet they cannot improve the compensation package...?

Well, this is the minion chip, which yeah, it's where our money went. If it was a scrypt chip I could see the outrage (and I'd be right there with you!), but I think they've always shown on their site that the minion was available to OEMs.

I do agree that it seems there is room for better compensation if they can provide discounts, but even there, that's a discount off of a net new order -- receiving less money, not digging into their pockets to pay out. You can be broke and offer a discount.

I like that they will give a discount if you open source your PCB design -- that might work out well for WASP and others. Maybe next fall we can order well built, open source, upgradeable machines... one can dream.

They need to atleast match the Ant miners, if we didn't show good faith and buy into BA we could have bought the 180 ghash antminers and had them delivered on time.

That's exactly what I did with my refund on 2/7/2014 Grin

Got 1TH in Ants running now!! Good luck folks!!! Wink
