Introducing...The SnowballThe Snowball is the first unit of its kind. Not only is this a live, hardware wallet, but depositing coins to the addresses in this device will ensure your coins are always ready to stake on a stable, secure storage of wealth. Not only will this unit run nonstop, but now there are no more worries about forgetting to open your client or leaving a dedicated staking computer running at all times. Powered by nearly the small footprint of a cell phone charger, The Snowball aims to provide the first, and most energy efficient, staking hardware available on the market
The
Maieutice Snowball runs on a very low energy operating system with extremely efficient hardware featuring a simple, straight-forward setup that we are able to provide at an affordable price. The best thing about this unit is that you only need 1 or 2 of them; it is not a large investment for an extra layer of security and peace of mind that your funds are safe and accounted for
Pictures in this post are of the outside of the unit. They are the standard photos from the manufacturer that makes the case. When we open pre-orders, we will post pictures of that actual unit, which, until that time, are under tight wraps
AvailabilityThis is the shitty part. We are offering pre-orders for The Snowball. However, this is
not to raise funds. The purpose of the pre-order is to give early buyers a nice discount, as well as provide us with the amount of components we are able to order at one time, allowing us to pass those savings directly to the consumers. Our goal with these units is not to get rich. We would rather sell 1000 of these at minimal profits, rather than fewer units at a real world markup. We want these units in the hands of those that will use them, securing Maieuticoin, and ensuring our users are earning their estimated 50% yearly stake
There will be a 5 week pre-order stage with a delivery date posted prior to sales. Should we be even 1 day late, every single customer will have the option for an
immediate refund. I am writing that here, in black and white, so you can feel free to prosecute my company legally should we fail to fulfill every single promise we provide. Pre-order funds are
not being used for development. They are only used to produce already-designed units. There is no fine print. We will not open pre-orders until we are confident we can fulfill every unit by our posted date. What I post is what we will do, or you get your money back. Guaranteed
When pre-orders open (very soon), we will showcase a working unit and more pictures as proof and more specific technical details. I have never ordered with a pre-order personally, so it is completely understandable if you choose to wait for the 5 weeks at the retail price. The
Maieutice Snowball is officially launching 5 weeks after pre-orders begin, whether we sell 1 or 1,000,000 units. All pre-order funds will be used to build
your machines. Unlike ASIC manufacturers, we have no motivation to hold, and use, these units prior to shipping. As soon as your unit is built from scratch and tested, it will be on its way to you
Ordering and ShippingPayments will be accepted in both Bitcoin and Maieuticoin for pre-orders, but only Maieuticoin will be accepted after the 5 week pre-order phase has ended. The only reason we are even accepting Bitcoin at all is to get these units in more hands for more user reviews. Hopefully we can get Maieuticoin on either Coinpayments or Altaccept prior to the preorders going live, but neither one of them has responded to my emails. Should we not be on either one by that time, we will do Maieuticoin orders at a discounted rate manually
The Maieutice Snowball is assembled in the
United States of America. We will offer free shipping to all domestic customers. International buyers are encouraged to participate, as well, but we will have more information on shipping for international customers prior to the pre-order launch
Maieuticoin Offline StakingMaieuticoin Offline Staking will be discontinued on November 1st, 2014. I want to thank everyone for contributing to the Alpha Test. We may bring the service back, but it was mainly a test for our next Maieuticoin development
