Yes, I believe a PayPal account is required to pay, but this is by far the standard for pre-orders and group-buys in the community. Making an account is quite painless. I invoice via PayPal, which provides buyer protection for you and payment processing and invoicing resources for me. If you are unwilling to make a PayPal, PM me with why and with alternatives.
Unfortunately yes — but luckily only for those group-buys not handled by bigger dealers.
Yeah, because they make paying with CC but without account deliberately a pain. I regularly have to fiddle with the URL to be able to checkout in online shops without PayPal account even if the shop owner claims that it works without account.
Thanks for the offer. Will think about it.
About the why: I refuse to become a customer of PayPal for multiple reasons:
They already destroyed or at least nearly destroyed several ambitious projects by not paying them out their money for months. The Neo900 mobile phone is the one case I remember very well. But over the time I stumbled over further cases where I already forgot again the details.
They’re a monopolist.
I still want to be able to regard any mail claiming to be from PayPal as spam.
Last day to join the GB! We are almost at 100 orders! Form will close at midnight CST on Nov 1st. Thanks for everyone who has supported the project Deeply thankful this has done as well as it has.
the pcbs are tested and flashed, and the boxes for the cases, weights, and plates arrived earliler this week! i will be doing sorting and QC for the next couple days then starting shipping, with domestic US orders going out first then international orders.
Yeah, definitely. I ordered ~20% extra in case of B-stocks, but it looks like the factory quality is very high on the first pass of QC. Once the GB orders go out, I’ll throw some extras up on the newly minted Walletburner.co. I’m starting final QC and packing today, so it should be in the next few weeks.
the easiest way to stay up-to-date on this and my other projects is to join the 40% Keyboard Discord and keep an eye on the #neuron channel and get the Neuron ping role in #bot-shenanigans. of all the places to talk about keyboards, i am here the least, so if you wanna snatch an extra quickly, that is what i would recommend thanks for your interest
Thanks for the offer, but I do not want to create an account at Discord, at least not for now. Their centralised (and commercial) approach is not very simpatico to me (the same with Slack btw.).
I subscribed to your mailing list on the website. That has to to suffice. If it doesn’t, bad luck for me…
All domestic and international orders have shipped as of a few days ago and the vast majority of extras have sold. I want to thank everyone for their support of this project. The final order tally is 121 Neurons sold. The Golden Ticket holder has yet to reveal themselves, but will be automatically refunded within a week if they don’t come forward. Check your boxes
Deeply thankful this has done as well as it has.
