Wait, how did you get a request for orders that exceeds your Avalon chip supply but pre-orders haven't even started until June 18th. How is this possible? Does that mean when we pay for pre-orders on June 18th, we'll be getting our units after this large order?

I'm disappointed that Terrahash is going to a preorder scheme when we have no manufacturing timeline, no way to guarantee a timeline would be adhered to, and still no details of (e.g.) their Avalon bulk order. I also find it odd that this reversal came so suddenly.

Also, while I'm glad they will accept PayPal, if preorders are far enough in advance of projected delivery, that may hinder our ability to obtain refunds (through PayPal) should Terrahash disappear or miss a delivery target.

We have received a request for orders that far exceeds the amount of Avalon chips that we have already ordered. The money raised from pre-orders will be used to order more Avalon chips, to ensure a constant supply of our products.

I think when he says requests for orders, he probably means people have sought interest by email/pm. So if you get flooded with 100's of people asking i'm sure that he can't supply enough chips for all. Therefore, he's going to use pre order money to buy more chips.
