    @Nekki you found a dedi yet? So that you'll need storage vps? ;)

    How about mix of both, a few/provider can choose random or on schedule?

    Honestly, I don’t think it would work.

    Those crazy threads were almost entirely organic, they happened almost by accident (the first was literally the result of no sleep and too much red bull) and there was very little prep. It was glorious because everyone came together as a community, buyers and providers, to make something awesome.

    What you’ve got now is much slicker and more organised, and has a very different feel. If it’s all placed out, you’re not going to get the same insane spontaneity that let to some of the best (and some of the most unsustainable) deals in history.

    Nope, they continue to evade me.

    There might be a solution:

    • Black Friday: Organised
    • Cyber Monday: Fully random
  • @PulsedMedia said:
    That "reservation" cancelled, so it's avail again with the discount! ffs damn scammers

    Scammers? You post a very limited deal that only the fastest one can get - so someone is fast enough to reserve the deal and then has time to read what it is actually about and decides to cancel because it's not for him and you call that person a scammer for that? Did I get that right?

    That could work, IMO!
    Even the other way around would be fine: having the BF random, and CM organized. Seems like the hype is a little bit more on BF.

  • was there any even NAT - 100GB HDD in USA preferred East Coast location ? would be nice as a docker registry.

    It is bots or something like that. All fake info, no payment even after hours. If this was legit user they for sure would at least have initiated a payment and/or reaches out to helpdesk.

    Why should we cater to the chinese who just want to reserve just to see if they might make a profit from it, before paying for the service and most likely will never pay for it -- and let actual real users in the wind?

    It does not matter for regular services at all, but these super limited specials, would you rather that NO actual LET user gets them?

  • @PulsedMedia said: but these super limited specials, would you rather that NO actual LET user gets them?

    But even as an actual LET user you can ONLY get them if you proceed straight to reserve it and then read what it is actually about (and make a decision if it is for you)? Why would you then initiate payment or reach out to helpdesk if you know it's not for you?

    Talking of users left in the wind... :D is there a slightest chance of a lil restock to the V1k 8TB offer, maybe some still pending payments or smth. o:)

    I don't think you should jump the gun on buying something before even reading the description. You do that for real life products as well? If I did that I'd be broke in no time...

    In fact, there are far more Chinese people who will pay than those who just want to change hands for profit. Don't simply deny everyone,thanks

    That's what I am saying - you have to read the description before paying. But because of the very limited specials, you most likely don't have time to read the description before proceeding to reserve the offer (otherwise the offer is gone before you have even finished reading the description).
