Someone wanna explain to me how to get into the pre-order tomorrow?

I took a look at the bit-pay site and couldn't sign up cause I'm not a merchant of any sort.

Buyers do not need to register with Bit Pay or have any type of account with Bit Pay.

Our merchant service works with every bitcoin wallet. just have your wallet up to date with the block chain and have enough BTC to make the purchase

sorry for the dumb question
I have a mtgox account with a wallet . I presume I login to my MtGox account and goto withdraw bitcoins - specfiy the amount and the bitcoin address is one you give me .

also is there any fees?

BFL - what about those of us who have an existing order for regular singles, and want to switch it around to the new ones? Should I put in an order and just not pay for it? Or...?

That's my currrent situation. I was thinking of bailing out and getting my refund since they have failed to deliver on time. However, I was reconsidering to give them a little more time. It would be better to at least mine a couple months with the hardware instead of sitting on stagnant cash. If the hardware isn't delivered soon, the refund option will be most palatable. Maybe, just buy bitcoins instead of ASIC hardware if it becomes more apparent that they will have this deluge of orders ahead of everyone else - might very well be more profitable as the block reward size halving approaches or passes.

I don't have enough BTC, just cash so no ASIC for me. The wait is going to be too long when they accept dollars.

My exact problem. I trade my BTC right into USD to help pay bills. But I guess I could withdraw from my bank and buy Bitcoins. Should have bought weeks ago when they were cheap... damn.

That will not help. They will be accepting orders payed with wiretransfer when you have your BTC. At that point the waitlist is so long that you will not see your equipment this year.

Let's hope someone else develops ASIC too and doesn't require interest free loan as a payment.

What will happen, if BFL is unable to deliver those products in time (what is currently expected to happen) and customers want their BTC back while USD price per BTC already rise to 8 USD?

I got hacked on MTgox for $200 a few weeks ago & was hoping for that time to make up my loss & be able to trade my single in with cash for a 40 gig model.........guess not.

How would you like to see BFL handle priority?

Vote here:

[POLL] BFL Order Position
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bfl-order-position-closed-89147

One thing is for sure, for their own sakes they better have a pretty solid policy on how they will handle order positions before they start taking payment or they will continue to be flooded with email. It's in their best interests for them to take a breather and make sure all their ducks are in row before starting.

will there be a direct BTC pay option?

or will i have to transfer btc to another location in order to transfer for pay?

it would be nice to know these details before having to wait on multiple btc confirmations...

- Bit Pay provides a seamless BTC payment solution in line with your order placement. It's pretty impressive.

- The trade in upgrade option is built into the order form.

We've been flooded with emails echoing some of the same suggestions here on the forum regarding the best way to determine order priority. I'm writing now in case any of you had been staying up waiting for the order form posting tonight. We're going to sleep on it and post tomorrow, but at the moment we're leaning towards a system that satisfies the two most significant arguments which are first come first serve & the lottery style distribution.

The way we're proposing it would work is that the orders are taken and tagged in priority order. When product is ready on any given day (let's say 40 units) half of them would go to the order priority list while the remainder 20 would go to randomly picked selections from the daily ship lottery.

Also worth pointing out for anyone interested in participating tomorrow, orders will be taken only via Bit-Pay initially. This is a special promotion with Bit-Pay to promote their BTC merchant account service and may give existing miners a bit of an upper hand in first wave delivery. (alternate payment methods will be added within a few days).

Regards,
BFL

Would you consider randomizing the order priority for the first day in order to make it a little less stressful and difficult for people in difficult timezones? You can still use the 50/50 lottery system after that, but it will be a madhouse around the time that preorders open.

The problem with the lottery method is that buyers who paid later could get there order filled prior to someone who had their money tied up for months. I don't see any need to process orders differently then they have been. It needs to be first come first served.

Good point.

But then again, what if (hypothetically) the first ten people order 1000 Jalapenos?

There should be an order limit per person. That would be healthier for bitcoin than a lottery system.
