What a great start - prepare for the next level!


I forfeited my icp2 voucher to Link as a donation, I don't think he should be personally liable and I wouldn't feel right claiming it.

@EvilDragon ED I sent this as an email but you must be busy, so will ask here
I have ordered a 4GB standard Pyra, if I decided I would like a 4G version can I upgrade my order and maintain my current queue position? I won't be put back to last if I decide on a 4G one?
I am on a carrier in New Zealand that supports LTE on the EURO chip and 3G on the US chip, so I am still working out what to do.

thanks

Yes, a few have done that already. An upgrade is possible with keeping the queue position. Send me an email whenever you want to do that.

@EvilDragon
What is the production time? How many Pyra per week you send once they are produced?

Well, PCB production of 1000 units probably takes two days.
The rest is assembly. Assembly should take about 10 - 15 minutes (hard to tell right now), so if 4 people assemble, then we'd have 16 Pyras per hour, which would be about 120 per day.
So 700 per week WOULD be possible, but at the beginning, as assembly is still new and we need to tweak and optimize a few things, probably 300 - 400 per week are possible.

We can easily send 200 per day, so that shouldn't be an issue :)
 
If I work it out with Link as planned (that everyone can use the voucher for the final payment), you will get voucher for the DragonBox Shop.
Which means that you can ship wherever you want.
Ok. So I can use the link/dragonbox voucher to pay the additional 345 euros on my current pre-order? As my voucher is worth a bit more than 345 euros. Will I get the difference subtracted from my initial downpayment? Headache inducing;):D
 
One question ED regarding preorders:

What is the current-preorder number (including the pre-pre ones). I know there is an estimation here: http://p.rdw.se/pyra-preorder.html But could you please provide us with actual numbers (have we already triggered the 650? would be great :))
 
Oh, but wait, if @Wrath Of Khan can use his voucher to pay off the rest of his preorder, does that mean...

Can I preorder now, paying the full preorder price of 400 Euros right away
and then use the voucher on the final payment, later?

I thought that was not possible. In fact, that's what Link told me.

I am confused.

My voucher is <$80, so definitely not more than the final payment will be.

I'm really interested in how you work this out. I stopped myself from getting DragonBox vouchers since I thought I would have to order from Link directly due the ICP2 history. If it results that you will work out a deal where the order goes through the DragonBox shop for the Link vouchers too then I will start buying gift vouchers in order to "save up" for the Pyra! :)

so im going to be a noob here and ask, when is the estimated construction is going to start?
just getting antsy lol

Wow! Y'all are pro!
So you build some then you send them, then you build some etc... or you build them all then you send them all?
 
I don't build them, GC builds them and usually delivers them in batches of 100 - 200 to me.
We'll then ship them.
 
That seems like an incredibly quick turnaround. Maybe for some parts like the LTE chips there could be longer lead times though?

It would be extremely cool if the first batch shipped in time for DebConf16... ;) I see that TI are sponsoring it this year so maybe some of their engineers will be there.

That would be sweet as hell if that happens. If Ed can get them into people's hands orders should go up. I know here in Omaha my friends want to get one also but are waiting for me to get mine. They lived my pandora and was waiting for this. I just need it to show people here and I know at least 3 to 4 will get one for sure.

I think it's: You can pay 400 now and then pay the rest using your voucher from link when your pyra is ready to ship.
However my voucher exceeds the 345 euros amount so I'm not sure how that works. Ed will have to confirm though.

I was 10 EUR over on one of my Vouchers and it says I have 10 still on the voucher...
