Dartnode is too disappointing

Fake line and worse event!
This is by far the most disappointing merchant and event I have ever experienced. I have been stuck on this page for almost two hours, and several of my friends are facing the exact same problem. Instead of moving forward in the queue, our positions keep getting pushed back. This is completely unacceptable. I strongly urge the community to remove this merchant from the event program and prevent others from having the same terrible experience.

Cheer up, mate. Seeing your screenshot of the queue line, I honestly think the server gods were actually doing you a massive favor. You should be glad you didn’t pass that checkout page.

I managed to battle through their broken system and grabbed an instance during the DartDay rush. Want to see what you "missed out" on?

Here is my fresh YABS disk benchmark on this node:

• 4k Mixed R/W: 1.6 MB/s (404 IOPS)
• 1m Mixed R/W: 45 MB/s

Yes, you read that right. 404 IOPS in 2026. Daniel gave us a beautiful 900Mbps network pipeline, but it seems he paired it with a hard drive stolen from an ancient TiVo. Doing apt update on this machine takes long enough to brew a cup of coffee.

If you are genuinely still disappointed and absolutely need a server with a great network pipe but the storage performance of a 90s floppy disk, I am more than happy to transfer my invoice/VM over to you via a support ticket.

Save yourself from the FOMO, you dodged a bullet here!

Running GB6 benchmark test... *cue elevator music*client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset

I once came across an even more ridiculous Turkish provider called DPnet. Their hardware was literally 30 years outdated, and they shut down and disappeared just a month and a half after operating.
Dartnode seems better！Lol…

Lol @lylone. At least yours got provisioned, mine is still in the "Waiting in provisioning queue..." since yesterday. I had the same issue during last year's sale too. Hopefully they fix things in time for my pre orders to deploy

yeah, the queueing system is a big mess. I had the same issue in 2024 sales

What plan did you get/pay?

@AdamWilliam your queue has been doubled

In the end, I spent more $1.50 and bought one from a scalper who was using a script.Its totally worth to save my time🤓

The script scalping was probably the reason for your issue. Way to support the bad guys!
