51k remainI cannot believe that I could have started the buying process at 1:00 PM EDT and likely purchased a coin rather easily. You know what would be really funny, though? That the first hour was sluggish solely due to DDOS attacks and the actual demand for this coin is minimal; that is, this coin is a bomb and the flippers get burned.

As of this post there's still about 68,000 of these available, check the page html.
Less than 60,000 sold in the first hour... what a looser!
That is a neat thing you found there.

43,550. Gotta pay for those DDOS attacks by the hour, I guess.How do you say that, I calculate at least 110k orders from 12:11 to 5 minutes ago.
I might be wrong.

For everyone who claims this is the worst web experience ever, don't kid yourself. The U.S. Mint always sucks on new limited product offerings.A press release with an apology from the Mint Director will be forthcoming later this week, explaining they're doing everything they can to address the issues.
But it will be just as bad on the next hot offering and every one after that as well.
I'm one of those that claims it was the worst experience ever. I definitely cannot claim to have been here forever, but this is definitely the worst time I've personally had. I don't know how to rate this beyond my experience, but being over an hour in and having 50k of them still remaining seems to indicate a huge problem. These aren't still around because people don't want to purchase them, but because nobody can purchase them. Consider how quickly most of the limited product offerings have sold out, it would at least indicate that many people were getting through easily enough on the prior ones.
Anyway, probably just splitting hairs. I completely agree they are always crazy

It won't be as bad going forward.
A lot of us Type 1 ASE collectors have had it with the Mint and will no longer be competing.
Also, I think they're bankrupt of new ideas for PM gimmicks.1 -
I think my ordeal getting last year's privy mark ASE was just a bit worse than this, but not by much.

An hour and a half in and there appear to be plenty left. Did everyone give up in the first half hour of hell or are these not as hot as we thought?

This may have been difficult or even unpleasant, but it did avoid a fast sell out and allowed more people access to try and purchase one.

Also, I think they're bankrupt of new ideas for PM gimmicks.It will be as bad as long as groups target these for flipping and commit to DDOS (Direct Denial of Service) attacks. Basically flooding the mints servers with thousands of requests per second on top of the high volume from buyers, in order to constantly bring the servers down.
The only way you can counter this is by basically being Amazon and having massive data centers all over the country to handle the insane traffic coming in.

13:01 11520xxxI think these are hot, but when thousands of people hit the website all at once, it doesn't lend itself to many orders being fulfilled in the first hour. It took me 48 minutes of bouncing around to get mine. My guess is that the initial crush has abated some and the website is handling orders faster now. I'd be very surprised to see this not sell out today.

So it took me around 20 minutes to get the first one. I apparently got the second one around 1:06. But my "ordering laptop" is not the computer where my mail goes. So I had no idea. I never got a "your order was successful!" message. At one point my cart DID empty out, and that was probably it. But I ran to the email computer and didn't see anything. I also got weird stuff where it removed my payment info and replaced that part of the cart with "your payment information is not valid for this product" but it would STILL let me check out, although it would error at that point.
FINALLY I started getting "you've exceeded your household limit" messages at 1:20 and then I saw the second email.
I was on the phone with a buddy who was also trying to order, and getting the same kinds of issues. He got his around 1pm as well.

The mint did a great job with the household limit of 1. Everyone complaining really shouldn’t be IMO.
