From what I know the invoices# and not the orders# themselves are for the monarch pre-order, as my original orders from back in 2012 would indicate. Those orders do not have an invoice associated with them.
There is an invoice # even if not paid.
You haven't explained how you reach the conclusion that 1,800 invoices = 1,800 paid orders. BFL uses bitpay which generates a unique invoice number for every payment request. For the record the invoice when checking out now is #100075776. How many of those are paid orders? Who knows.
I feel i have explained my reasonings clearly.
Not sure if you know but there were at least 1800 new paid invoices (not just unpaid for orders) placed within 48 hours from the moment they posted the pre-order on the page.
So you are a little late.
According to whom? Could you provide a link to a list of orders made?
AFAIK BFL does not publish their numbers.
There is anecdotal evidence of a few people upgrading their 2013 Singes orders. Other than that, it is just inferring that order number = paid order.
According to me.
On August 17, 2013
Order# 1000744XX was placed and paid to BFL's payement processor with in the hour of posting the pre-order details.
However due to an automated payment issue.
The payment was not resolved by the payment processor until Tuesday morning August 20, 2013.
After the payment was processed the
Invoice# 1000389xx was posted the the order.
If you have an order you can find it under the "invoices" tab on the "view order" screen
Others who had ordered and did not have similar experience had invoice numbers in the low 37000.Is that number you provided an invoice? or order #?
As stated the order#'s that I had used to compare my order# placed were 200+ over when I placed mine and the invoices on the order were 1800 lower then when my payment was processed. Hence take my invoice and subtract their invoice# for their order and you get more then 1800.
I will leave it up to them to choose to disclose their experience and order details.
I provide info to help you and others reading this post in hopes for them to share their personal observations.
AS I have.
However I want to be clear on what you are implying.
From what I gather your viewpoint is that BFL is using invoice numbers from Bitpay transaction pool that includes invoice numbers from all merchants unrelated to BFL.
If substantiated then I can see your point and as such my statement remains inconclusive until more than the handful of orders that I used in my hypotheses is open publicly.

I have several invoice numbers on BFL unpaid as I was too slow before Bitpay timed out. The number of paid orders is way less than the invoice numbers would have you believe. I even emailed BFL and reported the invoice numbers that didn't get paid so they could delete them, and they replied and told me just to ignore them.
@erk
Thank you for helping confirm that unpaid invoices for orders do exist.
I have not had the opportunity to see if others have unpaid invoices on their orders.
I knew that order numbers could go unfulfilled.
Hence why I used invoice numbers to compare. I have not compared them to unpaid unfulfilled invoices.
The other unknowns for me are.
Does BFL use invoice number generate by Bitpay.
Does Bitpay include invoices from a pool of numbers for all merchants.
Or
Does BFL use Bitpay Invoice Numbers or use their own system generated invoice numbers?
However I digress from the topic of the OP
