One concern I have is that it appears that there is no limit on pre-orders. That definitely doesn't sit well with me.

How can you be sure of that?



because is possible to place order for hundreds of devices without any problems..

And there's no way they have enough chips on order. Per 10,000 chip batch = 15.666666 fully loaded Terrahash DX Large miners only (at a full 180GH/s)

It would be faster now for them to buy bulk BFL chips as potentially there has been less uptake there, so may be a faster turn around. In any case there is no way Terrahash have remotely the required chips on order, and any first 15 Large DX's are probably their own.

I really hope they're going to come through, but they aren't being forthcoming with the figures you need to see yet.

I'm going to be pissed if they play games, as regardless of not investing here, I wanted to see them do this right. Accepting Paypal (thus credit cards) was a step in the right direction.

I'm not sure how many Large DX's were sold today though, and I'm not at all certain how many got in before my order, which was maybe 3 minutes after they opened up.  The Large DX, recall, required a huge investment, and far greater faith than a sub $10,000 order after all.  If they sold $150,000 in Large DX's in four minutes I'm going to be very surprised.

Surely they have a unit or two for themselves and a couple of friends...I would if I was assembling them and obviously the chips would be coming out of the bulk buy, clearly paying their share, etc. but 10k chips is gone in 15 2/3 of those units. I use them as a representative example. Point is you've only seen 1 10k order, so I'd imagine most buys will have to wait the 100 days for chips minimum. Also there's been nothing mentioned about the chip assembly service they were offering, that will reduce manpower on their own assembly...
