actually been following it the whole time. I will not be preordering anything. I simply cannot afford the risk. Whoever demonstrates working product AND shipping gets my custom. However, I don't think they're scamming, and even PG has conceded that maybe they aren't the scum of the earth. And that boy would question free gold. Not that that is all bad, skeptics are helpful in many ways.
But, if they start taking pre-orders now and you wait till they show a product, you will be way behind in the pre-orders. And by the time you get your machine, difficulty will be really high! So I think if you want some reward, you have to take some risk.
True. But their business model is that once they start shipping, they aren't doing "batches", they're doing continuous production, so I won't be that far behind. I'm not trying to get rich on this one hit. Not that I would mind, but I'm trying to build several businesses long term. I'm tired of working for other people. They get the rewards, I get poorer and poorer. This is something that to me is part of a strategy, not just a quick hit. As it currently stands, I'm not comfortable with the level of risk. By august, when/if they have working prototypes (either one of these bad boys) I'll have more confidence. I cannot afford to go all in on one possibility right now, but spreading the risk involves waiting.
I'm not a patient man, but between being a father and just starting to get old, I've learned to fake it very well
