that's hilarious.  It's pretty hard to make me laugh on this topic, but that did it.

send us more money.  actually made me laugh out loud.




sure BA, that payment will go out NEXT WEEK.

Dear Customer,

We apologize for inconvenience, however, unfortunately we are unable to provide refund at this moment. Reason for 50% in advance payment was receiving funds for your order assembly and purchase of the required parts. As money has already been invested in to production and your unit we are unable to issue the refund until we are able to sell unit to other customers.

Regards Alexey A.

Regards,
Black Arrow Team

I don't know how he did it, but the reseller I bought from agreed to ship me comparably priced hardware. More than doubled the hashrate i'd be getting with the X1

4. To cover time used to refund this order, for each transfer needed to be made, we will charge 50 USD and all 3rd party fees. In some cases, we might also need to charge a further 30 USD handling fee for each incorrect or incomplete transfer information provided by the customer.

Sweet!

On a side note it may be good to know "IF" this tard is telling the truth that it is a competitor, then it would be good to find out whom the so called competitor is and then simply have all users DDoS the Fcuk out of them... ahhem, I mean avoid using their services.

 

I can sell some to you on my website. Do you need US or EU keys? Price for 60 day US key would be 28.99 usd, for eu key would be 31.99 USD. (In bitcoins)

Let me know if you're interested so i can order them and make them available for you.

It's redundant posting it in there too, as this has already been proven to be a scam. Plus, no money was scammed, just peoples time and effort.

yep and they're still not answering questions on status.  simple enough to answer whether or not they've gone to tapeout.  similar questions posted to their social media pages are being pulled down.

this is not looking promising in terms of an on-time delivery, or a minor delay, for that matter.  They've got nothing to show with one month until delivery but a heatsink and some CAD drawings of the cases - and won't answer questions.   If there is more, snap a few pictures, for crying out loud, instead of giving BS answers like this one from their forum, posted by staff today in a thread asking for an update:


"Updates will be posted when they are available, i can understand your points however, but i prefer well working product instead of couple of shiny pictures myself. I can make you a picture of thousands different parts in 3d, will it make you more happy?"


Simply put, that's crap.  customers are asking for updates, and rightfully so at this point, as this is looking very bad at this point in the timeline. 

an honest update for those people that have in good faith sent thousands of dollars is not too much to ask.  if you're going to be late, fine, but it's time to level with your customers, BA.
