FAQ

Q: Are the screen and button PCB going to be Helder's updated versions?
A: Yes, that means you will have the battery board build in, and have that much nicer screen.

Q: What version of the bezel does it include?
A: It includes the updated one, AKA the screw less version.

Q: Is the SD card pre-imaged?
A: Sadly, no, however I will include detailed instrustions on how to image it.

hi michael


How have you got 10 kits available....

Helder only sells 5 kits max....

and if you were able to order 10 kits from Helder, why would you put them up for immidiate resale (you've basically stopped 10 genuine builders from making the mintyPi, just to cash in.....)


Please explain.....

Thanks for that wonderful name. I always wanted that name and now i have it. As Wermey was saying in other post`s here on the forum. Sent him a private message and ask him. Maybe he is legit or not. He doesn't need to explain him self here on the forum because you want it!!!. It's possible to have more then 5 kits. It wasn't that hard to order from helder with 2 different address.

ohh, just one more thing.....


it seems like this mintyPi project has just turned into a money spinner for some (not a bad thing i'm all for making the $$$, if it werent for the whole maker/modder thing)


personally, if it is legit..... why initially block 10 legit people from making the project, only so you can resell to them....

whats the thinking behind this whole thing..... still need to hear it from the horses mouth....

First off all show some respect as a member here. I dont care if he is selling this. Still the same price what Helder and Wermy where selling this. Also its a complete kit. So for 150 a great deal. Pay buy paypal. If you dont get your item. Make a request on paypal and you have your money back. Whats the fucking deal if he has 10 20 30 kits. And second if it's bothering you if someone is selling this. Don't spam here and make a new topic. If you dont trust it report this post and ask the moderators to investigate.

First off all show some respect as a member here.

just so that your aware, keep this sort of advise to yourself (and ironically, try practicing what you preach)....

if i have an opinion, i'll share it.... if you dont like it, then tough.... its my opinion not yours....


and so that everyone is clear....

if Helder is selling max 5 kits per person, how is he able to sell 10 kits
(even if the profit for him isnt that great), but people on a budget, cant buy the bits as their pockets allow them to... having to stump up $150+ in one go....

and most importantly..... why buy the kits (if he was able to buy 10), only to put them up for resale, which has potentially stopped 10 other people from getting the kits (if this is how things are progressing, its time i start charging for everything as well, or just leave)....



the same nonsense happens with venue tickets, sneakers, iphones etc etc.... this isnt entrepreneurship, its stopping legit buyers from buying the items...

IMHO, if you dont like it..... explain the thinkng behind it...

I don't want to get involved in the fray but wanted to correct you on this. Helder didn't have an order limit constraint on his second round of the mintyPi PCBs, he only had a constraint of 5 kits on the first round. You could have ordered 100 kits on the second round if you had the cash. I know this because I read it in the sale forum and bought 5 the first round and 2 the second round. (I felt bad that I had 2 more than what I needed and sold them when I saw people couldn't get them.)

For everyone, please let's keep the language and arguemnet civil. There are members spanning all different ages. Please allow the mods to sort this out.
