I tried to pay with my credit card, but the 'fraud prevention' wouldn't let me place the order. So fiddling around for 13 minutes trying to pay them put me in the back of the line. I didn't get an order number until I requested to pay with bitcoin. Stupid fraud prevention...
I also think that orders should be reserved by when you PAY.
I don't quite disagree with you since I did pay instantly, but that could be problematic for anyone paying by wire, no? It sure would suck to get one of the first orders in and then be pushed back to the second batch just because you had cash in hand and had to wait 3 days for it to get transferred.
Also need to take into account some order are assembly-only order, like mine 
I posted a question earlier about sending terrahash user-supplied chips earlier than his own chips but haven't seen a reply yet.

I just got off the phone with the guy at terrahash. It made me a little bit uncomfortable because the guy answered the phone with just a hello, like I was calling him at home. He did tell me that they had already placed orders for 20K chips, not 10. The second order of 10k was made a few days later, and the chips would be arriving a week or so later after the first 10k. He also told me that orders were reserved by when you PLACED the order, NOT by when you have PAID.
He mentioned that he had not been on the forums much today to see the questions here. So all in all, Im still a little nervous. The Indian gentleman that I spoke to on the phone seemed nice enough, but I know if this were my business, I would be glued to this forum and dealing with any issues that may come up... it is the main source of revenue.

I think less than <550-650 made the 20,000 cutoff.
Order #'s :
518 - 1x K64 & 2x K16
646 - 1x K16
112 chips total, both paid
518 - 1x K64 & 2x K16
646 - 1x K16
112 chips total, both paid
Order: #692 (208 chips - paid)
I just got off the phone with the guy. He seems honest enough. Because of bank wires etc its more likely than not my order wouldn't be in the first 20,000 chip batches (but its possible). He felt very confident he could get more Avalon chips quickly though for future units I got a good vibe from the guy overall.
The window for profit is so small here though so if its not in the first batch of 20,000 chips I personally think it wouldn't be worth the risk vs gain. Even if he ordered more chips today which you can assume he will there is no telling if they will beat the other ASICs to market.

Thats interesting because I emailed them and received a response saying that as long as order was paid your place in queue would not be affected.
+1
That's 640 chips, right there...
absurd. Here's to hoping they sort by payment and not order (which would only make sense anyway).
I have an unpaid order #45x for a DX-Large 10 Module with PSU that I probably won't be able to purchase if anyone is interested.
This should still be in the first batch of shipments.

Agreed.
terrahash, it would be nice if the order queue was sorted by payment time instead of by order number. A lot of other companies already do this because an order is not final until you pay.
What about people doing international wire transfers, there 5 day lag on payment puts them at bottom of queue?
I am under the impression its by queue number and not by payment.
Does this mean that they are queuing by payment time and not order #?
I have talked with Terrahash and you have 5-6 Days to Pay to hold your Queue Spot.

If there are 31 orders equivalent to 31 large 10 module DXs that's all 20k chips.
Yes there are some small orders, but of any have multiple units that 31 order number to 20k chips could be a lot less.
Others will be waiting for at least a further 100 day delivery, at which point Terrahash's focus should be on assembling chip only orders from other group buys...
Yeah, there were a lot more large orders than I anticipated. TH cleaned up today.

Just noticed something:
If you choose to buy just 1x K16 board and select some other country (not USA) your only shipping option will be: "TerraHash Hosting".
Maybe you have to buy for more than 250$ for them to send it internationally?

Does this help as well?
#445 June 18, 2013 Cancelled - 640 chips -blocked by paypal, over their limit.
#492 June 18, 2013 Cancelled - 576 chips - blocked again for some unknown reason, "error unkown"
Wonder if they reuse order #'s, or that number is simply "deleted"
