Also, I don't think they owe us any compensation. No where did they promise to give compensation if they were late. I'm happy with what they are giving us. I realize some people are not. Everybody can't be happy.

Actually they did...

Black Arrow promises to do its best to offer lower retail price than its competitors and guarantees that in the eventuality of a price decrease before shipment, all preorders will benefit of a proportional increase in hashing power. For this reason the customers who have been with us from the beginning will always receive the best deals.

I don't want to get in an argument that does no good, but they don't mention any compensation if they're late, just security for early buyers if they sell it at a lower price.
Yeah they did because they promised it at time of shipping, with others prices decreased and hash rates up the compensation comes from that.

+1 , Most impotant things is delivery date.  even BA knew time is real gold in this market.
I paid for them to get miner on Feb not May and if they mentioned delivery date was on May, i did not even order.(they did not keep 30 April delivery again)
So BA need to compensate us becuase value of miner dropping due to hash rate up

There is a risk to preorders, correct? That risk may be that shipping would be late, or that specs are not met, or even a company disappearing with your money. This is a risk EVERYONE should have been aware of. We should not be shocked that they're late and demand compensation. We didn't lay down our money, or we shouldn't have, with the belief that they would be 100% on time with no problems. It would be naive to think so, based on what has gone on in the past in the bitcoin community. That's all I'm saying.  Now, saying all that BA can try to make it right and be a 'good' company in the mining world. And I hope they do, but I never expected them to if things went wrong. I won't post again regarding this topic as it really doesn't help anything.
