As a lucky rent-a-minion customer, I also received this today (I did mess with the spacing):

Dear Customer,

We received an update from the Hosting Team:

Please be advised that currently we are finishing the last
preparations in our data center, such as setting up power
lines and testing the hashing hardware.

Once this are complete we will be able to launch this
services.

Please take note that will not have 100% coverage of orders for
hashing; Crrently have around 100 TH/S but we will keep adding
devices to cover all of the orders, which is around 300 TH/S.

Of course we will starting with the queue on Early orders
1st. Further announcements will be made soon.

If you were not yet able to share your BTC payment address,
and/or should you have questions, kindly do so using
our ticketing system and contact our support.

Sincerely,

Black Arrow Team

Well gee, wasn't that done in May? That's what they said, I seem to remember.

This is total crap, the Rent-a-Minion service was sold under the specification that the user could connect it to public pools of their chosing, which included a Black Arrow pool (and even alt SHA256 coin pools). Simply sending them a payment address is not the service that customers paid for.

nope. it does, however, allow them to pay BTC as if they were mining. it's not as if anyone is ever going to ROI on those payments, so trickle it on out. allowing users to independently control their miners, as sold, would circumvent that option, most likely. Plug yourself into eligius and now you know you have hashing what you paid for. them saying so proves nothing.

maybe they've got a data center and maybe they don't. who knows. they've told so many versions of every aspect of this debacle that I'd be surprised if even they could keep track of it all.
