I really feel for the BA customers...

I was looking at getting an x3 back in December, I heard BA had delivered in the past using other ASIC chips, I felt confident they would actually deliver something but I wasn't confident on BA delivering on time, the delivery date seemed too good to be true, I held off getting in on the early batches until it got to about January, then after hearing the updates and the fact that chip hadn't been finalized and looking into the whole wafer manufacturing process(and comparing where they were at in the process compared to Cointerra and Hashfast at the time), I knew there would be no way they would make the Feb Deadline realistically, so I held off on the BA purchase and got a whole bunch of Ant's instead. i.e. something I knew I could actually get my hands on.

Glad I did in the end, having 6k tied up with a company for 6 months would have driven me insane.

Best wishes all those still believing that you get your ASICs sometime in the next few weeks, my guess is people will start receiving them late/end of may.

Hope you break even.
