I'll give you 1.5BTC for the GB 7950's

Hmmm...let me Think about that....I would say...yes.

I hope they get everything right. Every dept. is under pressure (that we created) to get these prints out to Global. People tend to make mistakes...under pressure.

When it comes to making the purchase it is...

"At present time we accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, Namecoin, Novacoin Peercoin, Feathercoin, Devcoin, Terracoin, Digitalcoin, Catcoin payment  methods. In order to ensure we can dispatch your goods as quickly as possible, Bitcoin payments are taken at the point of order.

Bitcoin is electronic currency. Currency exchange points:"

Personally, I think if they had hit their mark during pre-fab stress tests...we would be mining with new rigs by 2nd week March. Where's the Kool-Aid...

I' not spamming...just looked at his site and noticed it was btc only. It seems strange...big market loss.

Your store is btc only? Most stores are anything but Bitcoin...CC/Paypal.

Wow...good to see! I stand corrected...and I'm glad.

First, what I said was "handles other company's proprietary technology". I did not say "Handing out proprietary technology"...there is a difference even my feeble mind can understand. But regardless of my previous statement, NDAs mean you keep your Mouth Shut...Non Disclosure Agreement....what part of that is hard to understand?

And that is why i do not trust that email from Veri.

I guess BA Could Have authorized them to release a that information but then why go through the trouble of making everyone sing a NDA? Hell...even Matt is under the obligation of an NDA.

Again, I will state...something is amiss. Unless they are throwing out disinformation because they are in actuality, working on their 14nm tech. and want to blow away all their competition.

But that is just a dream I have...

Yes, I understand...but that does not detract from standard corporate policy of...keeping you mouth shut. BA can say all they want...it's their Tech. But Veri is under an NDA and That email blows it right out of the water. Think about it. How long do you think a company that handles other company's proprietary technology under NDAs would last if they had employees that talked to general population about said technology?

It doesn't make sense...IMO

This is very troubling to me. NDAs are very simple contracts...you talk and you're liable. Company's that deal with NDAs have standard policy not to divulge any information concerning any contract. So, if your Very lucky, they MIGHT tell you that XYZ Inc. is a client. But in all probability, they will not confirm anything...let alone that "we are working on a 28nm ASIC for Black Arrow". Their lawyers would have a field day with that. So I question the validity of the email.

True, but you will make a lot of coin during burn-in and may be able to leverage that for emergency funds to meet public demand.

Personally, I'm in for the long haul...hopefully I'll be able to make a few bucks.

I understand but the design is "Hot Swap" but now that you mention it....is the X-3 going to have redundent PSUs? Hot Swap? or at least swap-able?

That about sums it up...I like the first design. Stackable...I would leave one usb and move any other ports to the back for ease of cable mang. And the hot swap power supply is also nice.

Not necessarily...they already had two runs in the pipe line...but the first Fab run was a wash...so now they have to double the second production run to make up for Batch1. So it makes sense for them to ship at Batch2.

D'OH...why didn't I think of that...much better now. Thanks

    This is excellent news and very good for all BA stakeholders. The competition has raised the bar and set a "new" standard for just compensation. I may not know all the ins and outs of the bitcoin industry but I do know business. It's a cut throat world out there and surviving means do better and cheaper than your competition. If not...you can kiss your ass goodbye because you will slowly erode away into nothing...leaving only a bad taste in people's mouths and minds. It will be interesting to see how BA and Miner Source respond to KNC's shot across their bow. I believe in BA, I just think they went about it in a bad way. They should have announced it as an investment opportunity...your $ now for a piece of the action down the road. Put out your projection on what you expect to produce and just keep the investors in the loop.

    Anybody with half a brain could could figure out that this was a client funded R&D project. And I am sure that everything was going well.  until their bench test of their pre-fab run...they didn't hit the mark. Back to the drawing board...BA fault was choosing not to inform their investors (because until they have product, that's what they are) of a possible delay. I say delay, because BA could have chosen to run the FAB and make up for it in the ass end. Investors would have product and compensation for not hitting their stated goal...win/win. OR they could have made a statement after the testing and said the FAB failed to meet it's design specs. "After careful consideration, we at Black Arrow have decided to redesign the chip to meet or exceed original specs" and then follow with w project brief. Sadly they chose not to do either and will be playing catch-up for the next two months...under extreme pressure to perform....would NOT want to be in their shoes right now.

Now there has been something stuck in the back of my head. BA, like everyone else, is going to make millions during burn in...maybe. I say maybe because I don't know if they are like the computer industry and burn their equipment in before release. If they do...their lies all the capital they will need to fund just compensation.

This whole pre-order thing is quite ingenious. Wish I had thought of it. Obtain VC without have to give up a stake in your company. This if fact boarders on Super Genius.

and yes, I am a pre-order holder.

I take it this is not something that can be done, Is it possible to re-flash it from failsafe?
