sorry for not posting up till now, have been pretty busy.
miner was there 3 days after it shipped from honkong (Jan. 13th), got
a call to send my invoice from the dhl due to the tax-stuff, was on it's way the next day.

miner is now up and hashing at 200gh +/-10%

thanks for the good service and fast shipping

I got my tracking number as soon as the order status changed to "shipped".

It leads to a working tracking number, the service was (and is) awesome.
I'll give an update as soon as it arrives.

Thanks for the good work! Don't let the impatient/rude people get to you.

i also just registered to try to pn a vendor on here regarding a purchase of mine
(well he possibly talks about my purchase, i'm not a 100% sure)
i'll just wait and read my way through some forum posts which i haven't read yet.

i only found out about cryptocurrencies 2 or so weeks ago, but it's a highly interesting topic
can't wait to learn more

in my opinion the coin will be around for some time, some good reasons were already posted:

1) Quantity  -             People just like to have coins... many coins. I don't know why, but for many people 1000 cents just sounds more than 10 $/€
2) Easy to mine -        The difficulty is still very low in comparison to other cryptocurrencies. another point is you get a ridiculous amount of revenue for solving one block (see pt 1)
3) The meme factor -  Many doges, so much known, very interest, wow

and many others
