There are a group of several early supporters on the SatelliteGuys forum that are unhappy that they have received nothing from their initial investment.
I fully agree with you that it is silly that they are selling kits to anyone for $99 and not sending
a ready built version of the same thing to early crowdfunders.
We’ve let people know that they can exchange the kit for a Lantern, but that’s really not a great trade. Relatively few people have taken us up on the offer. The ready-built version is running into supply chain issues because the CHIPs are so hard to source. To fulfill the IGG campaign, we need to buy in a 5000-lot.
If we weren’t selling kits, there would be no Outernet.
@Syed I’d like to exchange my kit for a lantern, but only when the final version is out! I’m going to continue beta testing until the end!
BTW, scrolling through anything with scrollbars doesn’t work very well on any device.
I suggest that you implement a host-system-side scroll bar so that I can scroll and click/drag through the content.
Also, if the window updates at any time, you get pushed back to the top. It’s really annoying on a small screen in the tuner tab.
@Jacob_Lysinger I think my phrasing was confusing. What I meant to say was that anyone who paid for a Lantern could choose to trade that order in for a DIY Kit. We have probably had about a hundred or so people do that so far.
Unfortunately, kits can not be traded in for Lanterns.
