As I said in the very first sentence, I UNDERSTAND THE RATIONALE, it just would've been nice to know that was the plan. I was under the impression it was first come, first serve. I absolutely appreciate what Nimo is doing, it's a thankless job with a very skeptical audience. He was grilled hard and didn't flinch.

I do understand the rationale of prioritizing large orders to reduce the number of unique participants to fill the order...however, this should've been communicated up front. I've been holding off on ordering through other sources thinking I was good to go by getting in relatively early on in the group buy.

Nemo, why would you not make it first come, first served? If you're over subscribed then I don't see the need to service the 'big' buys first.

I held off on ordering through other mechanisms as a result of this group buy knowing that my order was on the list before reaching the original cutoff. It's disturbing to hear that the priority is shifting based on order size now.

Nemo, I tell ya what, once this deal does or doesn't go through, your 'trust' rating is either going to be untouchable or unsalvageable!

I think that was directed at someone else, but just in case...I didn't mean to make you think I was suspicious of you, Nemo. By "same here," I meant that I registered recently, have a low post count, and have been included on the suspicious buyer list. I appreciate the work you're doing to make this happen, I'm not sure what else you could be doing differently either.

Just watched your underwater drill video. I dunno, man, looks fake. Anyone could have CGI'd that in, like, 30 secs, #amirightfellas?

Same here. I have lurked in the forum for a few months (usually the result of coinwarz pointing to a thread about an alt coin announcement). Have never felt the need to register/post until this thread.

Between the ebay prices and scammers on CraigsList, I've been trying to buy an AntMiner for a month without luck. I suspect other people are in a similar boat.

I'll do 5 via through a reputable escrow. The procedure would be straight forward and would add very little time/risk on your end. The product would be shipped to escrow agent...I'd then pay you via your web site upon notification that he has the goods, then he can ship them to me, does that work? You don't need to be concerned about the funds being transferred to escrow and then to you.

If you prefer USD via bank wire...happy to do it, that would remove any volatility.

Also curious where the units ship from.

I know you're just getting started and I sympathize, but you have to know this is a scammer-rich environment.

Can you verify that if the units are DOA, you will facilitate the warranty process?

Just added 5 to the signup (first post here), also in NJ. Would be happy to have the units sent to a single east coast location and then farmed out appropriately via Philipma.

Can you address how warranty issues would be handled?
