Many of us were forced to adhere to the June 30th deadline... (which I did, I made payment on time, as requested... because I was told the money was needed to secure the parts for those batches!!) If I had known I was securing parts for other chip purchases, you would have seen a completely different tune from me.

After all of that, the deadline ended up getting 'lifted' on july 1st, the day AFTER the deadline.

The website wasn't even open to other chip purchases until July 13th...

It is not making any sense to me why the coins I sent to secure 'parts' for batches 1-4 was somehow batches 1-4 of every chip purchase that exists.

I'm not sure why everyone is getting ruffled.

So, if you have already paid for components/assembly before the 30th June deadline (or perhaps even a couple of days after that) I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Everyone who has purchased from Steamboat and dealt with him directly with chips and assembly and who have put all faith in him from the start up until now and his unexpected latest post which has so truly ruffled this community MUST be served. There are plenty of us including I, who can find many reasons for why even if there was a reservation for us based on the dates of those of us who payed before june 30th, july 1st (uplifted date), or even july 13th (when website became open for other chip purchases), it still would not be fair. I would have gladly payed before june26-july1 for my Batch3&Batch4 chip assembly orders if it wasn't for the matter of MtGox changing the wire transfer SWIFT code the day of my transfer resulting in 5-10 more days to resolve the issue.
