We are using Escrow ( Excluding the Deposit ). The units are not massive capital outlays. If you could suggest any other way for us to limit the risk please feel free to tell us. As for pictures, when we have everything setup and I have been provided with the information it will be posted here.
The money collected during the deposit stage is not being used. But the reason we are requesting it is to ensure that the orders placed are serious ones. We have had many orders placed that are clearly a joke and unfortunately this is our way of differentiating between the two.
As stated four times in your thread iirc,
escrow the deposit to bitpop. Simple as that. Next up escrow the final payment.
My buddy ordered nine or ten units from you. He jumped off the train when he saw that every BTC1 preorder had a different wallet address. He didn't even bother to ask you why.
Also imho pics or gtfo

Fully agreed. If you are serious about selling these boards, you'll accept escrow for the deposit too. I'll certainly order several boards if you accept this simple condition. I have a preference for John K. myself, having used his services several times.
