On Monday we get chips and getting ready to start urgent production.
In order that would get everything done in time, we will need to spend your Bitcoins, but it needs your consent.
All ordered will be notified by mail, please read and answer.
First of all, need an answer from those who disagree.
The approximate delivery time is ready devices - 2 weeks from the date of receipt by us of all the components.
If someone has direct access to the warehouses of electronic components as well, please contact, you may need your help.
Seems like they need to spend some pre-order funds for getting all electronic components. ailikun did you get a letter from metabank?
I guesstimate that they begin shipping in the middle of September...
