Earth to Pine64, please respond!

If I get no serious reply from Pine64 within the next day or so, I will have no other choice than to start a second challenge of the credit card charge of my pledge for the missing items, since I will have lost all belief in receiving anything from Pine. Secondly, I will have to ask Kickstarter to look into this project. Again: people at Pine64, you are running a business, not an out-of-control hobby.

You need to do what you must, of course.  Frankly, I'm surprised that you have not moved forward with your threat at this point. Its always better to take appropriate action; not so much to threaten action, but in the final analysis you are the one in control and your personal satisfaction is important.

My card was charged very early on;  and I waited just like everyone else, and I too had missing parts and final resolution did not occur for several months-- that is what I expect from 'kick-starter' (in fact some of them have been way worse than Pine) and when I invest in a 'start-up' its because I wish them well, want them to have my money to proceed with their venture, and not because I am purchasing a product. 

My reward for spending my money, and waiting, is that I now have the honor of being a beta tester and a participant in a very cool community of hackers and hobbyists, and engineers, and amateur radio operators, and other fine people...  its been a fun ride and the wait has been worth every penny I spent, and every minute that I waited.
