Does XCrowd even have an engineering development team?

I believe that your question has already been answered several times.


It says "pay on delivery".  So I take it ordering doesn't require you forking over money yet?
Most likely the site will let you pay for the whole thing if you so desire, sans escrow. Yet another avenue for the scam. We shall see.

That option will not be available for at least 5 months. Sorry to disappoint.

It's very unclear. What exactly does this mean?  Will the site force customers to fork the full amount upfront on Monday or not? Or will the payment be due against delivery via escrow so the site will only take "sign ups" on Monday? You are talking about refunds but also talking about pay against delivery.
So confusing. Please clarify.
Thanks.

You would be able to reserve your units on Monday and will then be instructed on how to complete your order by sending your deposit to a trusted third party (e.g. Escrow.com or John K) to be released to xCrowd only after you've confirmed the delivery yourself.

You will have the option of only depositing 30% with the escrow providers for a 10% premium. Refund requests will be processed within 48 hours and you won't even have to go through us to have it processed as it can be settled by your escrow agent. Our refund policy and payment methods will be explained in more details on Monday 12:00 (PDT).

Does XCrowd have an engineering team yet?

Yes. The open listings are still in place as we are always open to talking to more talented engineers. Most our R&D work is being currently done by a third party design house with over 200 IC design and verification engineers. Although we won't be ready to ship for at least 4 months (currently still at pre-tape out) it still is an ambitious target to meet so we literally have the best working on it with previous experience in time sensitive projects.   

Hello xcrowd!


While I have gone through escrow.com payment options, there might be a problem with paying with paypal or credit card since they request premier service. I would like to know if there is any other paying option on reservation. Will there be reservation with paying also in BTC?

Thanks for all the answers!

John K will be handling all our BTC escrow transaction for a low fee. Escrow.com should be able to process normal credit card transactions and wire transfers. However if you could email us your correspondence with them we'll look into it and confirm it with them to clarify everything before Monday.

Thanks in advance.
