We're still alive and we haven't ran off with any "reservations" just yet for those worried. Some of the allegations are slightly amusing but quite a few relevant points were made. It seems like it won't be worth the hassle in securing escrows in the first place if we have to deal with the same folks for the next 5 months if we're able to go without escrows or deposits in general.
The reason we've been absent from the forum for the past few days this weekend is so that we could spend some time going over the latest simulations of our main design from our verification partners and weighting our options (same reason why we haven't requested any escrow deposits yet).
Details will be released when we deem it ready to be published, in the meantime if you have any questions please do contact us directly or simply wait for further updates from us.
Let me be the first to say its nice to hear your still alive and sorry about the "problem children" of this forum. Excited to hear of developments and updates and appreciate a word from you to let us know that things are still on track. Please do not get discouraged at some individuals for being trolls, they are here and will always be here and there is nothing that can be done about them unfortunately. Some of us are happy to be in line for your product and are looking forward to what will eventually come. I really hope that you do not back away from the escrow idea, that is one of the main reasons coupled with the difficulty insurance that I went with your company. It is nice to have a refreshing idea among all of the preorder scams and failed attempts at delivery dates with no way to get your money back that are offered by some other companies, plus it might hurt your reputation to originally say that you will provide escrow, and then when its time to pay, all of a sudden say, no escrow. Just my 2 cents, hope development is progressing nicely, cant wait to hear more and have a great day

If we do step away from requesting escrow; it will be only to start accepting orders once we actually do have products in stock and ready to be shipped out within 2/3 days like the other 99% businesses out there.

Hey thanks for the update xcrowd!
I would definitely like to keep my spot in the order queue because I am in the first ten orders. Does this news mean we will have an extension on the 7 days. I understand you say you might not do thee escrow because dealing with us all would be a burden. Would it be possible to keep our spot in line until the products are ready to ship and ready to order?

No Escrow?
No way, byeeee

The first 50-100 orders can be under an escrow agreement just before dispatch if we do decide to go down that route.

We're still alive...
What is it with ASIC vendors, disappearing acts and the shared belief the community fears their deaths?! It has to be an 'in' joke, we're missing...

Most of the people here in Deadwood are not going to be able to understand this real world you speak of (99% of businesses)

I can only imagine the drama bomb if they actually had the escrow setup, people committed funds, and then the disappearance for a couple days..

So once you have product stocked and are ready to ship you will no longer be doing escrow-only now--apart from these first 50-100, correct? You'll take either BTC, bank deposits, or credit card purchases directly, yes?

The escrow guys request for passport and what not and he can't gave them the information. So he pull out. Anyway he is not sincere from the start by not disclosing his identity. Shows that using escrow alone will not necessary work/.

I like hosting deposit option but how does the escrow option work for it?? Will escrow be initially mining for me as a proof of service delivery?? Doesn't make sense.

Nope, he's not disclosing his identity! I cannot figure for the life of me why anyone's interested at all.

Of course not. xCrowd can ship space heaters, how is escrow.com going to know the difference?

Although it's funny, all they had to do was manage to setup their escrow account properly and they could have raked in millions of dollars. Oh well.

Are you guys seriously bitching about them having hardware built and ready to ship before paying? After all the crying you do about no pre orders here is a company who is not going to take pre orders but actualy have the device Iin hand and you all cry. This has to be the dumbest community alive. This isn't towards you Ytter just used your quote lol
