they changed their shipping deal because they set it up wrong:

Standard Shipping: $ 50.00
 TerraHash Hosting ? (Free)
 Local Pickup (Free)

Expedited was deleted as an option, but it used to be there and used to be $25 and I nabbed it when it was there.

It would have been easier to send BTC had terrahash just shown proof of an avalon order.  I understand fully that you had to place an order of 10,000 in order to receive a full brick of 30 sample chips, but those very well could have been purchased second hand for the sole purpose of slapping them on a board to generate pre-sales.

Until a payment processor pops up that offers buyer protection for cash transactions, I don't think cash will go mainstream.
Now read it again.

You don't give away cash to an un-trusted person unless you're willing to take the risk.

I just thoguht of something - What about a BITCOIN CREDIT CARD! Only problem is the money changes so durastically.

Its called paypal + credit card. You won't get scammed unless you buy the monster one. With orders < $5000 it should be okay.

Agreed, Paypal plus AMEX = buyer protection.

It's actually ironic how we're buying hardware to mine Bitcoin, but insist on paying for the hardware using traditional payment methods like paypal or credit card instead of bitcoin for protection.

I doubt this really matters outside of the Wild West World of ASIC pre-orders. No one would be worried if they paid $1000 in BTC to walmart.com through bitpay.com

Actually noticed it was cheaper to have 2 separate orders of 3 and 1 K64s than just an order of 4.  Expedited shipping was $200 for 4 or $100 for 3 and $50 for 1.

Ditto.  Trust me I sell stuff on Paypal all the time there is little to no risk if within the first 30 days you file a claim.

Yes 30 days... These suckers are going to be waiting much longer than 30 days...

damit only #4xx and #5xx orders ^^^rofl ^^ i ... was like 1-2 seconds after they opened ^^^
i think they started high. like in the 450's. any body know why?

Same reason that your bank doesn't start your checking account with check number 0001.  Makes people think you're established.

Still no chip order pic?



Not yet.. todays pre-orders will fund the chip order... or they hope they do...

Think they started order numbers at 450 or 460

If they started anywhere in the 4xx area that leaves me pretty happy at 518 and 646
