unless someone else has a better idea, then, in short, yea. we'd be screwed.
I'd suggest just taking extra orders to be filled in place of people who Welch or get hit by a bus. The slope of the order curve indicates to me that there will not be much trouble obtaining enough overage to cover likely wash-outs (absent a giant leap in BTC valuations.) Also, I thought that ~friedcat simply specified a minimum. So if more than 300 units are ordered and payed up they could all possibly recieve joy.
I think that the most important thing is to get to the 300 before those damned foreigners so our order goes first. But since everyone loves Americans it could be that we get the priority we deserve just as Jesus intended even if we don't cross the finish line first. (I should check how the German effort is going before blabbing I suppose...)
well yea, i'll gladly take MORE then 300 orders!
as to the other bit: BHAHAHAH!
I'm sure too now that you gather more than 300 hundred orders, that clears this whole problem away. I was just pointing this out so that you could consider early on what to do if you end up just little over 300. BTW, that European group order (in which I am part of with my humble 1 or 2 units) is now at minimum 386 USBees.
That's the nick I had since a young age - didn't know where I picked that up though. I swear it had to do with bells.
