Hi you asked this twice in the thread; just replied to your other comment but copy/pasting here to be thorough:

"Hey there, we sent an email out first thing this morning to all our v1 preorder customers (thousands and thousands) before we publicly announced the preorder campaign for Mesh and the mail system we use for newsletters bungled it and didn't send it at all, except to 24 people and their dashboard didn't show this happened til hours later (so we assumed everything was fine). We are working to remedy it right now. You all were supposed to get the very first email. (Here is proof of me yelling at the company whose software is responsible for this on Twitter -- after they didn't reply to 4 attempts to reach them prior: https://twitter.com/danielaperdomo/status/781222497131827200 We are working in real-time to get this issue fixed, which was the opposite of our intention. I'm really sorry this happened."

The email's in the mail. I guess I should have been grateful for what, 2 hours advanced notice. You obviously have little loyalty to your crowd sourced folks. Seems to me a LOT of advanced notice and some extra information to the original crowd sourced folks would have been appropriate.

Another reason why I'm NEVER crowd sourcing again. The very people that should get the MOST consideration (after all we're basically throwing money at a promise) actually get the least consideration (we often are robbed or get a 1/2 ass implementation.
