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!

  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 Their hardware was literally 30 years outdated, and they shut down and disappeared just a month and a half after operating.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

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

  No, he outright supported the scalper since it saved him time. The scalper used a script, a big Fuck You to the humans in the queue.

  So what you mean is that I should just keep queuing for hours and end up with nothing in the end? As a consumer, am I supposed to pay the price for an unreasonable promotional campaign by the company? If you really want to combat scalpers, you should develop an anti-bot script to block them, instead of foolishly blocking normal users like this.
  You should spend more time working on improving the situation rather than wasting time on pointless arguing.

  $1.5 is essentially meaningless and nothing more than a symbolic charge. As a consumer, I don’t care where I get the product from. If the official promotion were fair and reasonable, no one would turn to scalpers.

  Honestly, you are one of the types of people I dislike the most. It’s like saying that buying a leather bag would cause the extinction of animals. In that case, I’d suggest you stop breathing, because every second you are killing tens of thousands of microorganisms in the air.
  If you really despise scalpers, go deal with them directly. Go and provide effective anti-bot solutions to companies, instead of coming here and dumping meaningless complaints on consumers.
  For me, I simply need to purchase the product. Obviously, I have found a way to save time, and for me that is a success. As for you—so obsessed with scalpers yet unable to do anything about them—you can only keep complaining endlessly here and morally lecturing consumers.
  so poor guy😤

  Yesterday’s event was suspended due to technical issues. At first, it was said it would resume after one hour, but that never happened. Fortunately, I didn’t keep waiting.
