let's extend your point even further looking into the future.
everyone here, especially eve, keeps spamming the threads about using cc's and paypal. what about the punk that orders from the company that has stock in hand with cc/pp? he receives his machine within a week of ordering, plugs it in, and starts mining. 60d later minus one week, he claims it's not working, sends it back, and does a chargeback.
so many of you want to get the best of both worlds when it comes to this intersection of BTC vs cc/pp. it's not going to happen.
Here is my response:
1) PP i agree is has a % risk attached to it
2) CC is a lot more formal and can not be done as easily and the banks actually will hold pple to account whereas PP is a free for all
(I have worked in banking & billing systems for 10+ years)
3) your delivery schedule is ~ 2 months so in effect you are guaranteeing a refund if your dont deliver in those 2 months & a customer decides he cant wait
4) Why dont you have a deposit BTC value & the balance on CC
Explain to me why all the above does not stand to reason
I am not against you guys at all ...lets just see some form or responsability & reasonableness associated with your pre-orders
