Weekly Pyra Preorder Stats

Naaah, I cancelled a few Bank Wire orders that never made the wire transfer, so the orders weren't valid :)
Didn't do that for a year... so... :)

I'm slightly surprised people were still making bank wire transfers six months after the preorders opened. I could understand people doing it to stake their place in the first couple of days, but I'd have thought that far down the line people could either get a credit card, or investigate how to make a bank wire transfer before placing the order, so they just had to place that one phone call or whatever to pay the money. But I guess it was only 10 people, rather than the 19 who ordered between May and September last year but never actually paid, and over a much longer period.
 
maybe they thought they could get it for free?

i did bank transfer since i still had euros in a european bank... now i don't. that's probably not a common phenomenon.
 
Chop down a tree - it's week 83 (thanks again, Trix!)

The week began with the preorder of an EU-cellular 4GB unit on Sunday night, but at 3am on Monday with a EU cellular 4GB RAM cancellation. Tuesday afternoon another two were cancelled for good measure. However, on Thursday night someone preordered an EU 4GB unit, but later that night over the change of the month, two of the same were cancelled over the course of about an hour, followed by the cancellation of a non-cellular standard 4GB unit. In the best news for the week, someone preordered a 4GB US-cellular unit on Saturday to round things out.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -1 4GB unit
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: -3 4GB units (+2-5)

That makes three lots of one step forward but two steps back, putting us back where we were in early August this year on the way up. It's certainly putting some strain on the holding pattern, but hopefully those new updated 4GB CPU boards are going to show soon and hopefully work as well as has been predicted.
 
2 years TM.What happened to not taking pre orders this time around? hopefully the interest generated by the pre order money is being put to good use.
 
It's pretty obvious where the money's gone if you follow the pyra news. Prototype boards, multiple case revisions, keymats after keymats. ED only opened the preorders after we badgered him to take our money, but it's impossible to say whether the Pyra would be out by now in a worse state if we hadn't lent him that money which allowed him to prolong development and get everything right.

But looking at the way ED's expanded his shop in the past 18 months, I can't but imagine that some of the profits from that have been used to fund Pyra development, so perhaps the preorders have only delayed his need to make his shop profitable in its own right.

Edit: And it was 18 months old at the start of November; best part of 5 more months until it's two years (though I wouldn't be the first to bet it'll be ready before next May to be fair).

Good point. It has only been 2 years for ~208 of us on the pre-pre-order & prototype pre-pre-orders. All 208 of us knew what we were getting into. I have no complaints anyway.

Surely shome mishtake? No cancellations this week? While I have my suspicions that ED's just too wiped out after the black friday sales to go through the cancellations this week, I'll take what I can get.

We started off with the first of two standard non-cellular 4GB units pre-ordered this week in the early hours of Monday morning. Around Tuesday lunch-time the pre-orders for EU cellular 4GB units started coming in; one then, one Thursday lunchtime and the other the following night just after midnight. And to round out the week, this morning we received the other preorder for a 4GB standard non-cellular unit.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +2 4GB units
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +3 4GB units

Thus far this is a repeat of week 67, but I'm not sure how long that will stick for. Meanwhile we're still waiting for news on the 4GB fixed CPU boards.

No cancellations again, which is starting to make me a little nervous. Quiet week otherwise, with one US 4GB on Wednesday evening, and another coming just a few hours ago at around dinner time, US cellular 4GB again.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: +2 4GB units
Euro cellular units: no change

After no US sales last week, this week is relatively full of them. News must take a while to travel that far I can only guess. I think ED must have cleared out all of the unpaid bank orders by now so perhaps we're back to him handling recent cancellations every three weeks or so. Only one more week to find out!

So, no cancellations this week, although based on his twitter ED is only just getting on top of his messages. We'll have to see if any of those are of the 'give me back my damn money' type.

Just two pre-orders again, Wednesday lunchtime for a 4GB EU cellular type, and Thursday lunchtime for a 4GB standard non-cellular unit.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +1 4GB unit
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB unit

That's a better income than a kick in the teeth for a week's work, but I'm glad ED's shop is doing well, and he's still doing TV work too. And finally, we're back in the (one thousand and) 90s after that last round of clearing out bad bank wires.

And we're back to normal; some preorders and the odd cancellation to convince us that everything's alright. We started off promptly on Sunday early hours with a 4GB non-cellular standard pre-order, with the same on Tuesday evening and one more Wednesday afternoon. And to keep it real we had our cancellation come on Friday afternoon, removing one 4GB EU-cellular unit from the pre-order queue.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +3 4GB units
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: -1 4GB unit

That cancellation's a bit weird, coming in at the more reasonable hour of a quarter to three in the afternoon. I guess ED's still using some holiday time from his day job. But ED's last news update on christmas day was a nice present, and has triggered the pre-order queue into being a little less bipolar. Which in itself, is a nice present for the new year.

New year means new preorders, apparently. Perhaps some people got dragonbox shop vouchers for christmas? On Tuesday breakfast time (the day after new year's day) we received a pre-order for a 4GB EU cellular unit, and on Thursday morning a little earlier in came another one. Then on Friday we got a 4GB non-cellular unit pre-order, breakfast time again. That only lasted a handful of hours until mid-afternoon when we received a cancellation for a non-cellular unit with the same amount of RAM, and coincidentally at the same time we received news of two EU cellular 4GB units being preordered.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change (+1-1 4GB unit)
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +4 4GB units

That puts us off into new territory - the first time we've ended the week above 1096. It's not the highest its ever been - the numbers did track up to 1098 briefly back in September, but that was just ahead of a fairly big cancellation which wiped out that week's progress. But it looks a lot more promising this time with cancellations being handled as and when for both this week and last, so with a following wind and a bit of luck we'll make it to a new grand total next week!
 
It is more stable than bitcoin! Week 88 sums up to 616 days. If we go into numerology, 6 is imperfect, 7 is perfect and 8 is completed, then day 777 is week 111 which we will reach on Jun 16, 2018.
By then it would be 26 months sinds pre-orders started. We are currently at 20.5 months (which is 2 months times 10... a shame, because that matches our 2 months counting)
 
On Thursday I finally got around to upgrading my WiFi Pyra Pre-pre-order to a 4G EU Pre-pre-order; so I hope that explains one of them ;)

I'm now thinking/hoping that the Pyra 4G will eventually replace my GS7. I have no doubt that Samsung will "drop" support for my phone pretty soon, (as always - expecting a costly upgrade to a new Galaxy device); plus I'm tired of selling my soul/data to the big corporates. So, with a suitable Bluetooth headset (any recommendations?! - I don't take many calls!), I would probably be more happy to go Linux/Pyra and not have to worry about sharing my data over a HotSpot any more :D
 
The voyager Headsets by plantronic are all very good. I'm using them for years now.
The quality, sound
and build, are awesome.
They sit perfectly on the ear without hurting, even with glasses.
The battery lasts extremely long and they got integrated microfones to clear out noise.
As a little extra, you can change the ear plugs with jusr a little twist to have a fresh one every now and then.

Week 01 (01/05-07/05): 563 pre-orders (000-563)
The classic case of two steps forward; one step back this week, although we started off with the back step on Sunday lunch-time with the cancellation of a standard (non cellular) unit with 4GB of RAM. That seems to be it, until suddenly unbidded on Thursday afternoon a US-cellular 4GB preorder came in, then about an hour later German time (and so it was evening by then) an EU-cellular 4GB preorder arrived. And that completes the dance (albeit we did it on the wrong order so we'll get bad scores from the judges I guess).

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -1 4GB unit
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB unit

Techincally that makes an equally high grand total as we've ever had. Next week I can see with my crystal ball (woo woo; wavey hands) that we reach a unique grand total briefly next week, but at the limits of my futuristic visions, I can see we bop down to the safe total of 1098 again soon enough. And there the visions become cloudy and I cannot predict any further.

And that's what you get for doing the totals this late after the fact ;)

Well that was a busy week, at least for Europe. We kick off the week with a pre-order for a 4GB EU cellular unit on Sunday evening, but that gets cancelled out the very next evening. And a moment later that same evening, one of the last two US-cellular units shipping with a 2GB RAM CPU board was cancelled. But Tuesday lunchtime marked the comeback to take us over the rainbow, so to speak, with a non-cellular 'standard' unit pre-order for a 4GB version, and there was another pre-order for the same spec machine on Wednesday evening. And Wednesday night marked the start of the European comeback as well, with a pre-order for a 4GB EU-cellular unit coming in, and there was another preorder for that type of unit on Thursday afternoon.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +2 4GB units
US cellular units: -1 2GB unit
Euro cellular units: +2 4GB units (+3-1)

This week marks two significant events; the breaking of the 1100 preorders sound-barrier, and the US variant of the 2GB units becoming officially an unique configuration. More significantly, it means ED's team only need to build 25 2GB variant CPU boards in total, so we'll have to see what he decides to do about that still. All we really need now is physical proof that 4GB of RAM really works now.

And you'll have to forgive me that -ly/-ty close rhyme at the top. The big 0s are always a pain to rhyme I find.
