I found out today that my creditcard has been charged twice for my pledge. That made me more than a bit angry , because it came on top of having to wait months longer than expected AND having to pay an additional customs charge of about 1/3rd of the pledge amount (another $34).
First time was when I submitted the pledge in january for the full amount by Pine64.com ($104)
Second time was when I received my shipping notice and tracking number. That time it was charged by backerkit for only the items that were sent (all but the Zwave module) ($70).
AFAIK, I only gave Kickstarter the GO for charging my card, so how can it happen that Backerkit can charge my card again and for no reason?
Can any of you confirm this has happened before?
Any luck getting that money back?
I just received my backer pledge...well part of it. I ordered the acrylic case and it arrived with no posts or screws. How do I go about getting those?
Thx

I'm trying to burn sd card for my Pine64 2GB board, using Phoenix card utility V310 20130618. if I select any android or remix os image form the tool, an error window pop and complain there's "No script, try a new version image".
Should I burn the Phoenix image first with this Phoenix card utility, then use Win32 DiskImager to write the image I want to use?
My idea is to create a crypto-currency miner from the Pine 64 board, it is more than possible but it will take a bit of resources in order to bring it to life. All profit made from this idea will be donated straight to the Pine 64 organization.
If you would like to fund this project, here is my PayPal address: senpie@tutanota.com (Est. amount needed: $50-100) - I already have 2 off-site backers for this project who have donated small amounts to me.
OR if you happen to have any of these items: (feel free to contact me if you're willing to send them to me)
USB Hub (Preferably with 7+ ports)
USB Attachable Fan
Mini LCD Screen
So I got 2 of my boards going as media centers, however I'm having some issues with power
Currently, I have 1 plugged into the USB port of a PS4, and the other into a PS3. Doing so, they will boot up and operate fine. However, doing this means that more power is being used as the PS3 has to be on, and the PS4 has to be in standby mode for the USB ports to be powered.
At first I tried using a wall charger from my phone, and it would boot fine but as soon as I opened kodi the board would reset.
Then I tried the USB port on the TV, which didn't work (not sure how much power it gives since it's the service port. I was hoping to have it turn on with the TV)
Lastly, I tried the Power over Ethernet. I got the official adapter from the kickstarter campaign. Tested the network cable and it checks out. Plugged the network cable into the adapter, and the adapter into the ethernet and mini usb power ports on the board. The router (Asus RT-N66U), wouldn't even detect anything on that port, and the board's red LED wouldn't light up.
Is there something I'm maybe doing wrong? I want to get this sorted out before I install 2 of these in my cars.
