Onion
Translation of the letter:
Hello everyone.
We are closing the company to collect donations.
We would like to inform you about the completion of the collection of donations for Omega 2, which has already collected more than 920 000 dollars for Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The project is fully secured, and we want to thank each sponsor for their support and patience. We could not do this without you!
I made a donation and still have not received a reward.
Those who have issued the order, we always send out packages, if you fill out the survey forum. In the next two weeks we will send 885 packages. This is for those who have already completed the survey form.
What is the form of the survey?
All customers must fill out an order survey form after they have indicated their mailing address and payment method of delivery, and added additional items to their order.
About 2000 customers have not completed the survey yet!
If you have not finished the survey, do it as soon as possible, we will not be able to send you rewards until the survey form is completed!
If you do not know how to open a survey form, please make an application on our website and we will provide you with your unique survey URL.
Where can I order more of your products?
Already now, Omega2, Docks and Expansions are available for purchase in the Onion online store, and in the very near future they will be sold in Amazon. In the beginning, not all products will be available, but we will gradually add new ones.
But I live outside the United States.

Now we are ready to work with a large number of sellers, so stay tuned.
Thank you.
Those who have not ordered a computer recommend hurrying with this, because Then I can have problems with the delivery to Russia, as we see, in this list there are no sellers from Russia.
But let’s hope that they will soon appear. When you try to place an order in the Onion online store, information appears that there are no available methods of delivery to Russia. As an option it will be possible to buy through Amazon (with delivery on the drones), but who knows what price will be there, and will it be taken to Russia?
To be honest, I learned about the poll only from this letter. Now written in Onion, I wait until they send a unique link to the poll.
If you go to the online store Onion, you can notice that there is a base version of Omega 2 is not sold for 5, but for $ 6. Although of course it is clear that the price of $ 5 is less than the self-sufficiency of this product, plus the cost of delivery. Of course there is a possibility that the product should pay off due to the greatly inflated price for the Dock station, but not everyone buys it (the equipment without a station was bought 4 times more than with it). Most likely, therefore, components were selected that consume relatively nonstandard 3.3v voltage (it’s about power, not logic levels), so it will not work for the charger. Here you need to connect a stabilizer or use a computer power supply. Well, or of course to buy a dock station, which the seller expects (a walk on an elephant is free, and you have to pay to get down).
This is it. Once I get the Omega 2, I’ll try to write a review of how it all works, and whether it’s possible to run it at home without a docking station.
