That's probably an optimistic timeframe at best, especially if we're yet to reach funding for import taxes and shipping. But who knows, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility.

Round 7 almost certainly has not been fully paid, neither then nor later. But the latest transfer of money to SP might very well have been a partial payment for that GB – it's hard to tell, that thread has been awfully quiet since july or so. Round 6 phase 2, however, was supposedly all paid up a few months ago.
For all we know, R7 is still kind of ongoing. Last I heard, 7bit was hoping for a production slot early 2018. That might all have been wishful thinking on his part, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility that an order for R7 has actually been placed with SP. If so, the money recently sent the way of SP might just be partial payments of that order, and don't have anything to do with R6. Or there could have been a problem with one of the previous R6 invoices from SP, resulting in the need for an additional payment. Or something along those lines – it would hardly be the first time there are hickups in the 7bot machine, after all.
Glad to help out. Also glad I have completed my term of service, though. I hope no one else ever has to do that for Round 7 if that happens. This community should refuse to participate until a modern system is introduced.zslane wrote: I'm grateful that you have continued to help out as a collector, krutmob.

It's just a little discomforting to think Round 6 phase 2 wasn't fully paid for all this time, the way we were all led to believe. It makes one wonder what other unpleasant surprises still lay in store for this GB.

But what do you mean by confirmation? And who do you want a reply from? We're not very likely to hear anything directly from SP. 7bit has already said the R6 phase 2 keys are all paid and slated for production, and will hopefully ship before years end. That's probably all the confirmation we'll get, until the keys actually show up at 7bits doorstep in Berlin.
If you have questions about your particular order, you're probably better of asking 7bit in a PM (although it sometimes takes quite a while to hear back from him). And if you have questions about Round 7, you're in the wrong thread.
