Hello everyone,
As you know we are planing to start shipping on Monday.
So if you haven't done so already, please send us your order number and TXID.
We cannot ship without both payments in order.

You could always send a screenshot of the transaction from the exchange it that would be the case.
Easily faked with "Inspect element" and just editing it to be whatever you want it to be.For this run we found it was mostly people we know that ordered, some of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting in person. I strongly doubt someone will try to cheat us or others out of 0.005 BTC because it would be swiftly noticed; and the party at fault would be publicly banned from ordering from us again.
We agree that for the future better measures can be implemented. And we will be looking at options after shipping these out. However, for this run it seems that this potential event would be quite limited in scope if it were to occur.
Since this series will continue with higher denominations (therefore higher risk), it will be imperative to mitigate this for the next run.
The next note in the series, code name: 'blue jay' will be 0.01 BTC.
We appreciate you brought this to our attention.

Yes it would be problematic if honest customer pays from exchange where they do not control private key. Dishonest customer notices this (because exchanges tend to batch transactions and are easily visible) and says that was my transaction. You would not likely get the exchange to investigate this, so it would potentially never get resolved.
There is an easy solution for that: "Though luck". Either you can proof you bought the note and loaded it or you get nothing. Plus, as they used an exchange to sent the funds, it cannot be returned. I do agree that Polymerbit should have used multiple address so it would be a lot easier to track who paid what.

Thank you the info, but just to clarify:
Cannot anyone see TXIDs, since it is all the same address they have to send to?
E.g. this 0.05BTC with this TXID has not been send by me, but how would they ever know that if I just mail this TXID?

polymerbit would notice two people using the same txid, he would then know something was up and request that both people sign a message from the sending address. only the real sender would be able to sign.
Exactly this. We will keep a close eye on the BTC coming in and the associated addresses.
Each order will have an associated TXID. We are building a spreadsheet for it.
That is why we need your order number. We can then match all. And see who is outstanding
This is why you should use a payment processor that gives each customer their own BTC address to pay... makes it super easy to keep track of any and all orders.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Okay, we have started contacting everyone for their TXID for the notes and order numbers.

0.005 BTC plus transfer fees. We cannot give an exact figure of how they will be. So to simplify things, we only expect see the full 0.005 BTC in the wallet (so only cover the first fee to get it to us).
We are offering to cover the second fee to load as part the cost of the note.
Step 2: Then please send us the TXID and your order number.
You will also need to choose if your want the notes loaded before shipping (at your own risk) or when they are in your possession.

Script Notes
Regarding the scrip notes; since they were not working correctly at the time of launch... we want to offer everyone who attempted to spend them yesterday retroactive use.
Even if you have placed an order through PayPal, we will refund you the difference if you present valid and peeled scrip note codes + SN.
I apologise for the confusion and mess this has caused. But we will do everything we can do make it right.

What a joke, they are all sold out but only 5 people sent to the address on the site to fund them, and I was the only one that sent extra btc for the tx fee. Who would have thought I would have been the easy customer to deal with?!
You are an idiot - You cannot gauge how many people bought because of that...
How do you know someone didn't request a new address etc etc?
Anyhow, I'd still never deal with you again personally, and this is why - all you do is whine and complain, no matter what the outcome.... Did you get one? Are you happy for that at least?

Damn, i missed it, if anyone has one spare you may pm me.
Only two left in stock.
So there are only 5 left, it looks like these will have sold out in an hour and 15 minutes or so. I really cant beleive it took that long I thought it was gonna be a 10 minute thing
The limit allowed more people get them
Limit now increased to 4 per person until it sells out.

I just purchased one of them, do I need to send 0.005BTC + fees to 3N36sCJXN1iQEzjJm7uhXBCZc2g56SppJ2?
How will you know which customer paid and which not?
Sorry maybe for the dumb question...

There are no dumb questions:) Most likely email your order number and txid of the .005 bitcoin transaction to the return email address of the order confirmation you got from Polymerbit. Save the txid so you can prove you sent the btc as requested. That should do it.

Transaction IDs are specific to the transaction. Just go to https://www.blockchain.com and enter your txid in the search box you will see you sent the bitcoin to the requested address.

I peeled 2 $50 script notes no function 
if you have scrip notes to use, use the offline order method. And we will sort payment out later, minus the value
Its obvious that for some reason this system does not like our new website

I peeled 3 $50 scrip notes and none of them are working...
I peeled 1 $50 scrip and it didnt work either. I picked manual payment I am so annoyed it slowed me down. I thought I would get a lower serial number, I did not
Same, I peeled 2 of them and they're not working. I'm sure Daniele will figure this out though, no worries

You changed the terms on your website for US customers, before it said that the notes would be loaded from your wallet, after the note cleared customs and was delivered and now it is not. Why did you change the terms in the last 10 minutes?
These are REQUIRED to be funded. The old terms would have made it so someone could have went back on their word and not funded the note. (Refer to smoothie's only unloaded King K set). Good on polymerbit for rectifying this.
also in case of a stolen or lost note.. I would hope that it still gets funded so nobody can game the system for a fake "error" note.
You changed the terms on your website for US customers, before it said that the notes would be loaded from your wallet, after the note cleared customs and was delivered and now it is not. Why did you change the terms in the last 10 minutes?
The opposite. Before it said that you would load the notes. It was an earlier draft of the terms.
Terms are valid from sale starting in 5 minutes.

30 mins remaining
Do we load the wallets during the checkout process?
Due to US law, US customers will follow different procedures. All will be explained on the desc.
I apologise for the confusion. Used GMT which is not current.
The correct time is 5PM EST (NYC,FL)
10 PM UK TIME
11PM EUROPE
This means we still launch at the same time, only that we fixed it for the US.

Will there be a limit per customer? 1 or 2 would be good imo
Dear god, I hope so!
There will be a starting limit of 2 per customer.
We will test this limit. If we find that there are still sufficient notes 2 hours after launch, the limit will be relaxed to 4 per customer.
In the case that this occurs, customers who placed an order before the relaxed limit can place a new order if they wish.
The sale will be carefully monitored. I will be on standby through the new chat app on the site if there any issues.
Will they be posted under the 'shop' page, I imagine?
https://www.polymerbit.com/shop
Dumb question, I'm sure, but I want to make certain I see it when it's posted
