Quote from: Karura on Mon, 26 October 2015, 22:33:01I would like to announce that SKIDATA+ will be partnering up with a very reputable vendor, with extensive pre-ordering experience and impeccable track record, and most importantly, one of our own (read: not MassDrop).That means Bingecap, CtrlAlt or Zeal, unless I'm forgetting someone. I'm ok with all of them.

For those who are reading the thread and joining us for the first time: Welcome to SKIDATA+! I would like to offer some insight into the current state of the GB, as well as make a BIG announcement.As observed in previous GBs, such as GMK RGBYK (btw, kudos to ghostjuggernaut and radiokillah for making it happen despite the situation), PayPal has introduced a new policy where they will flag any account they deem as suspicious, suspicious meaning any large influx of funds being received by the account, regardless of whether it's a new or older PayPal account.As a result of being flagged, PayPal places restrictions/limitations on any and all funds in the account from being withdrawn, unless the account holder provides proof via "shipped tracking" updates, but that is literally impossible and spells death for the GB, as we are only able to pay GMK to produce keycaps by withdrawing the GB payments from the account, which cannot be unlocked unless we ship out the caps. It's a total catch-22.That said, have no fear my friends. I would like to announce that SKIDATA+ will be partnering up with a very reputable vendor, with extensive pre-ordering experience and impeccable track record, and most importantly, one of our own (read: not MassDrop).This is crucial to the payment step, as we do not want to risk having our funds frozen in a PayPal account, and PayPal has assured me that our funds would definitely be frozen if we took on the GB with a new account.So I earnestly ask everyone to please be patient, as we are currently ironing out the payment details, and making sure that there will not be any problems when it comes to GB payment collection time.I understand there is a lot of anticipation, excitement, anxiety, buzz, hype, and rustlin' when it comes to GBs, but rest assured, Karura is here to put in the effort and make sure we will have nothing but a successful run. Please have some patience and faith in the group buy. It's really all that I ask from you guys, as I've done all the work that's required to make this happen.I understand people are concerned about meeting MOQ, and I anticipate that we MIGHT have some issues with meeting it, but I'm sure the community will somehow work it out and meet the MOQ, like we always have for well-designed sets.Feel free to post if you have any more questions, but really, settle down people, I'm literally doing the best I can to ensure that we get nothing but the BEST quality GMK has to offer in years (GMK has assured me that they understand our concerns for a high quality set, and will make it as good as OG Cherry sets), the most complete layout compatibility that has ever been offered for a GMK GB (ANSI, ISO, 60%, HHKB, 1800%, LightSaver), and absolutely no problems when it comes to payment via PayPal.Hope this helps answer some questions.

Thx for the updates and your hard work KaruraI can assure that this gonna be an epic GB, would be even better if there is an artisan keycap to go with it, maybe raffle system with the purchase of the set?
Looks like we'll be ahead of schedule; SKIDATA+ will open just in time for the Halloween festivities. Stay tuned for an announcement later today.

GB is live and waiting approval.
