There is more to it than that. Everything about my order says that it is one of the 1-500 Jupiter units, but the pre-order number does not reflect my order within the first 500.
So you pre-ordered and got an email that said
Order ID: 17xx
The desired goods: KNC Bitcoin miner numbers 1-500
Quantity: 1
Name of the customer: wowc8
...
?
If so, I agree how can there be 17xx pre-orders for the first 500
Probably best to email knc to ask them, I think we are all just making it more confusing
(I have an sub #500 number so not affected, but curious)
So, I had the same confusion and emailed Sam after paying for my order. I was in the 1-500, but my order# when I paid was 9XX. This is the email I received back:
Hi XXXXX,
Your order number is irrelevant as we are basing your shipping queue number on the placement you received when you made your pre order. In your case the queue number is 4XX.
We are not able to give you your exact queue number until the 7 days payment window has closed. However, as far as we can see everyone who has paid within the first 7 days will be shipped in September/October.
I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks
Sam
It makes sense to me, your pre-order number is different than your Order number. If you were allowed to order a 1-500 machine you should be able to find a pre-order # from when you first signed up, that is your actual place in the queue, subject to moving up after the 7 day window is closed and they toss out pre-orders that didn't pay.
