I really really wish they would allow for hex reservations, it cost them selling a 2nd MGW310 because of the long wait for shipments earlier this year. I had planned and purchased 1 to go at my house and was planning a 2nd location at my parents. Well why waited almost 2 months for shipping someone else placed a station. Meanwhile my WB hex was reserved and I was able to deploy a WB200 instead of a MGW310.
Even though the GEOdnet side of the MGW310 did not fail because of a faulty station I lost 30 days of WB mining and then I lost my binding NFT from the GEO side and had to start over with my new station. Luckily that station is in a rural area where there is no competition so I should be able to bind the NFT without any issues
