2, about payment: confirmed accept bitcoins and wire-transfer, and bitcoins will have much higher priorities. credit card is still considering (expect the possibility and BUY bitcoins if you intend to order).
...
Does the above mean BTC payments will ship before wire transfer payments?

If so why? Wire transfers are hard unredemable cash, so generally I'd assume those payments should be high on the priority list, or at least equal to BTC...
...
That's exactly what he said : "confirmed accept bitcoins and wire-transfer will have much higher priorities."

In term of priority, Wires take much longer so I don't see how you could get in the queue faster than with a BTC transfer.

It really says something about the bitcoin community when China has the most transparent hardware companies

It says less about the bitcoin community than it says about business practices in these countries.

On yet another note, don't forget about taxes. On top of the 1300 dollars I will have to pay another 19% on 1359 dollars because customs adds shipping to the overall price to be taxed. So the actual price for ordering one unit from Germany will be about 1617,21 USD.

I am actually in Beijing and will be returning to Belgium early January. If you want to save on shipping costs [pm me].

Hi ngzhang,

Does the above mean BTC payments will ship before wire transfer payments?

If so why? Wire transfers are hard unredemable cash, so generally I'd assume those payments should be high on the priority list, or at least equal to BTC...

If there is a difference in shipment priorities, could you give an estimate of the effect? For example would BTC payments receive units weeks before wire transfers or months before.

Lastly how has the survey gone? Do you expect pre-orders to close very quickly?

Thanks,

Hi ngzhang,
If the silicon for your initial production batch is somehow defective or inadequate, would there be a refund?  Where would the funds come from for the refund (or the 2nd run) as I assume the money has already been spent on the NRE for the 1st run?

Thanks.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
hrm this means ~ $400,000 USD will be exiting the bitcoin market.. prepare for incoming bitcoin price drop.. the question is how much will it drop.

I have a great, three-step advice for all the speculators:
1. Whenever you make an expert prediction like the one above, make a note of it
2. Keep track of your success rates
3. Adjust your self-confidence accordingly

That, and always try to stay on topic on the forum.

Will you accept MtGox codes for payments ?

I've already sold my BTCs in preparation of a big sell off.

19 hours to go  ... Cheesy

I did something like that at 6.4 getting ready for my SC Preorder.... Look were the price went after that! Cheesy
