First come first serve is how it's always done .. why change it ?

Why should someone who paid 2 months ago receive later than someone who paid last week ?

Lets not turn business into gameshow.

Let's say they get a queue of 2000 thousand orders in one hour. Extreme probably, but who knows.
and then let's say they can only deliver 200 a week for the next 10 weeks.

See the problem now?

orders should go as Odd being the order as they come...

you will have a handful of random ppl doing trade-ins and full orders... so it's only right...


one thing would be nice to Limit the amount per order, per month.

so... if your pre-ordering, or trade-in...

10-20 jalapenos limit for first order for that month
5-10 SC single limit for first order for that month
1 rig limit for first order for that month...


that way it provides a balance of orders that go out to a variety more of consumers, rather then if someone has 20-30 singles ordered... well there's a problem...

just like most retailers, manufacturers, etc... would do for something in demand... put a limit on it to create some balance of fairness to other consumers down the line...

This will only work if you have no friends, I have friends all around England and France, I can get them to order on my behalf and pay them.

This just will not work.

true indeed.

but you included the word Friends... which im betting theres about a 90% chance it will work then. lol

BFL:  Will you allow customer pickup's for the ASIC's?  I will seriously drive up there to pick them up.  It will save you shipping and I will get to mine a few days earlier.

We've been working with Bit-Pay for a BTC exclusive order form.  This is meant to both promote the good services of Bit-Pay and give dedicated miners a bit of an advantage in getting in position.  We'll have that posted later tonight.  Alternate payment methods of Dwolla and BankWire will come shortly thereafter.

Please help...   We're respectful of the significance of order position, but we can't think of any good way to organize it other than opening it up to orders and letting it go as it may.

Another alternative is to go odd / even.   Odd being consecutive down the priority list and even being a random selection from orders that month.  

Any thoughts on this?



BFL, I appreciate the sensitivity to the issue of order position.

Right off the bat I will assume that the logistics of storing inventory to be released in few, but large quantities will be difficult.

What I, and many worry about, is either the slow, steady flow or the incremental, but frequent flow approaches.  To what degree those on the end of the trade-in list get burned is, I suppose, based on your output velocity.

A lottery of the pre-orders is the only fair way to do it and you still have not said how the hashing power is to be deployed so you don't end up screwing everyone over with a massive diff rise(s).

When can I start ordering? Or at least, join some sort of queue. I am going to be down for a bunch (five, maybe eight) of those Jalapenos, or maybe just one Single SC. But like the other guy said, we're greedy and want to get in line ASAP. When can we start doing this?

No plans for PP or CC?

PP will come later.  We don't process CC's.

That's fine, PP will do the CC processing for me. How much later do you expect PP to be added?

I know you said we can't turn in two items to get a "free" single back. But if we want to upgrade to even something higher, can we turn in singles to get the 50% credit of that purchase price?
That's what it sounds like. My best guess is that they are priced 51% above cost. All the profit come from new customers without trades.

Or you could just pay the $1300 now and ship immediately, and have them credit your CC when they receive back in their hands.

Let's say I place an order for some ASIC singles when you start taking pre-orders.

When they are ready to ship can I drive my FPGA singles up there and get the ASIC's?

I plan on using a 1000W inverter in my truck and my verizon wireless internet connection with a hp thin client to start mining in the fucking parking lot.

I will mine all the way home to Dallas.

I have made it from Dallas to KC in under 5 hours averaging 115mph on the Turnpike.

I will drive slower on the way home since I will already be mining.  Cheesy
Lol awesome, but I doubt the cell connection would remain connected at that speed. Grin
