<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedbump, post: 2406659, member: 75637&quot;]Finding a way to temporarily increase bandwidth isn&#039;t really a viable solution for a 1-2 hour period. Keep in mind that Apple, a huge tech company with massive data centers and back-end resources, still has server melt downs on product launch days. Just try to order a new iPhone at midnight on day one of pre-orders, or try to download the latest major iOS update the morning its released...</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, 125k is a lot compared to other non-bullion gold coin products from the Mint. They were probably not expecting to have most all of them disappear in less than an hour.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, it doesn&#039;t really matter. If there were no connectivity issues and everyone ordered right away, the thing would have been gone in a couple minutes. This too would have resulted in upset people not being able to get their coins because their clock was 3 minutes off... When the ordering system is slow, its slow for everyone. Some people get lucky and click just at the right moment. Some people aren&#039;t so lucky. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only surefire way to make sure everyone that wants one gets one, is to make as many as people are willing to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
