Good news for all those waiting for #pinetime and #pinecube dev kits - They are available the the Pine Store (http://store.pine64.org).

NB. The PineTime now ships with @codingfield's FOSS InfiniTime firmware!

Not really the sort of news we wanted to give today, but it's important nonetheless: https://www.pine64.org/2020/09/17/psa-vulnerability-disclosure-2020-09-17/

The Pine Store is online again as of a few hours ago. Sorry for the confusion, we had some miscommunication last night.

The Pine Store is down until further notice due to a serious issue. Manjaro CE PinePhone preorders unfortunately must be postponed. More information will be given later.

We are upgrading the #PINE64 cluster to make it more reliable and easier to maintain remotely.

Scheduled downtime 12 Sept. at 11 AM CET (5/6AM CDT/EDT).

Services will be offline no longer than 5hrs.

Pine Store will remain operational.

New Pine Store (WIP pictures) with more payment options (Stripe) being built. We are, however, struggling with crypto payments (@BTCPayServer), since we haven't received a response from
Bitstamp as of today. We won't use Kraken - their form requires disclosure of private info.

We’re pleased to announce that the next #PinePhone Community Edition will feature @ManjaroARM

Variants available:

* Regular CE - 2GB RAM/ 16GB eMMC

* Convergence Package - 3GB RAM/ 32GB eMMC bundled with a USB-C dock.

Pre-orders open mid September.
