News & Updates

Batch 3C will be restocked the next few days!

November 25, 2021 7:04 pm

Hi everyone!

First of all, welcome to our first public news post! We feel the need to have a separate news & updates channel besides Discord so that all our customers can be reached easily, especially the one’s who don’t use Discord. Here, we will also post technical updates like miner software updates, dashboard updates, and much more.

Now, let’s move on to the important stuff:

Our Batch 3C stock is almost sold out now – this time, we experienced the most ridiculous amounts of traffic that we have ever seen, and besides having an absolutely overkill server for this website, it still almost crashed! Thankfully, almost all orders went through correctly and safe. Quite an experience, to be honest… thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your trust. I guess we need a beefy upgrade for our already beefy server now.

For those of you who didn’t got the chance to buy, you will have 2 options:

  1. We have kept some of the Batch 3C stock on the sidelines, as we expected high demand today. To give everyone a fair chance, we will open up the rest of Batch 3C stock during the next couple of days. It will be announced here, as well as on our Discord, as soon as new stock is live.
  2. Our new Batch 4 pre-orders will be published at latest at 8th December 2021, with deliveries starting End of April 2022. More info soon!

Why is Batch 4 so late, you probably ask? Well, as most of you know, the bottleneck here is Semtech (the company that produces LoRa chips like the SX1302) – or actually, not them directly, but the global chip shortage crisis all in all. They just can’t get that much chips produced in a short time at the moment, and we are not the only one ordering there. We ordered a 6-figure amount for next year a few months ago through our module provider and we will get the first round of chips End of April 2022. That’s the current situation – thanks, Covid and stockpiling car manufacturers…

Anyway, thank you again for your trust! More news to follow during the next couple of days.

Stay awesome!

Pre-Orders for Batch 3 launching soon.

We will be opening up Pre-orders for Batch 3 starting at some day next week, between Sep. 13 2021 and Sep. 19 2021. We will NOT publish the date and time beforehand for obvious reasons.

Oh, and as we have your attention now, we would like to raise our glasses for a second and make a toast:

As most of you already know, we have now finished our successful launch campaign for Batch 1 and 2 through our waitlist. Although it was quite an amount of work to manage all pre-orders, inquiries and messages in the last couple of weeks, the effort was worth it: the pre-orders were very organized, our server infrastructure was rock-stable and we got amazing feedback from the community.

So we just want to let you know: thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your compliments and feedback, and for joining and especially trusting us on this incredible journey! We know that trust is everything in this space. It’s amazing to see that our work pays off and you honestly believe in us. So again: Thank you for having you on board. You are amazing.

See you next week!

PS: don’t hestiate to write us in our Discord if you have questions, feedback or other ideas!
