Please add Order # 452 as mine - DX-Large 10 Module (180 GH) w/ PSU - Hosted

This was paid today by Same Day Wire Transfer (It will likely be marked as paid either today or tomorrow by Terrahash which is within the 2-3 Days needed to maintain Queue Spot)

I will be putting this order up for Auction once it has been marked as paid.

I'm fairly confident this order will be within the first batch (10,000 Chips).

If anyone is interested you can PM me but realise that there WILL be an auction that you will have to post on.

I hope you are left holding the baby - selfish behavior just pushes others back in the queue needlessly - TerraHash please cancel all such orders that you become aware of!

I simply do not understand this reaction. If he wants to resell his order, how exactly does it impact you?? He wants to make a buck like we all do, and if he thinks he will make more by selling the equipment, just like all of the sellers of this gear, then more power to him. Frankly, the majority of the people reacting like this are actually the selfish ones, caring that their precious spot in the queue will be disrupted and trying to move up by accusing others of doing something that they don't approve of.

Wow people, look in the mirror before you judge others, will you? The early bird gets the worm, and it's about 10pm in the ASIC world, so if he wants to maximize his ROI by reselling, who the F cares? We all had the same playbook in front of us, what plays we choose to run is our business. Next time be quicker if you are concerned what others in front of you in the queue are doing.



I understand it, not that I completely agree, but I get it.  It is still unclear whether TH is going to allow re-selling of the pre-orders or not.  I hope not.  I am unsure how I feel about selling an order...  essentially he is buying the machine, a risk, now reselling that risk to another for a even higher degree of risk just to reduce his own initial risk.  It's BFL pre-orders on Ebay all over again.  What I do know is that I got my order in during the very first minute.  I (among others) will be very disappointed if that order is pushed back an extra month or more on top of a 2 month initial wait.  All just because one person wasn't comfortable taking the risk on the hardware that he bought for himself.  If you can't take the risk, you probably shouldn't order in the first place.  Waiting to sell the actual machine (in hand) is a different story, as you are mitigating risk for the buyer (who gets the hardware directly after buying) and yourself (by recovering cost+ on the order), rather than passing 100+% of the risk on to someone who didn't have it together when pre-orders opened in the first place.  For instance, I can't afford a full Large DX so I didn't order one.... but I could have put it on a CC and immediately re-sold the order for a profit.  That wouldn't have been right IMHO, so I didn't do it.

All we can do at this point is wait and hope for good news from TH by email.  If the news is bad, then maybe take the refund and put that money elsewhere.
