some of the posts in this thread are very funny to read.

shipping first 77 was so unfair, should ship all at the same time....
uhh, so if they had 77 tested and ready to go, they should just hold it? how does this impact you? this rewards those who ordered earlier, first come first served. Difficulty will still be the exactly the same even if they held the first 77. If anything, the first 77 tested the non working pools for us, and since they felt so privileged, they didn't complain to bitmain at all while getting it to work. Everyone wins.
- early folks get to make more $$
- people just getting it dont have to endure the headaches of non working pools
- bitmain gets less complaints and tech support issues.

"I ordered at the 4 hour mark, how come these other people are getting theirs before me!!!"... uh they ordered before you, first in first out. it's not that tricky and it's the most fair way.

Mine just shipped and will be here, while i'm sad i wasn't part of the 77 (missed it by 2 minutes), atleast i wont have to trial and error pools until i find one that works the moment it gets here thursday. The promised to ship around the 20th and they delivered, no complaints. Now i just pray i can ROI before these things go negative.
