What I am trying to get at is does anyone who made a pre-order feel a little left out?
Not me, but then X1 and X3s are not my first hardware purchase so I have stuff to play with before the new toys arrive.If you wanted to do something with your satoshi (fraction of a bitcoin) try putting it in CEX.IO to get to play with cloud mining some bitcoins.
Other ways to get involved is to mine altcoins, those other than bitcoins which can often be mined with just a gaming graphics card in your pc.
minersource.net are very busy sorting out orders, I am not surprised they take ages to answer non urgent questions.
