The invite system that OnePlus has deployed with the OnePlus 2 this year and the OnePlus last year is pretty much just a chaotic mess. With the invite system in play you have a slim and none chance of actually owning the device. Some people became so desperate last year they actually purchased OnePlus One invites from third parties. OnePlus has taken notice. For the next 5 days they will be auctioning off 100 OnePlus 2 invites.
These auctions will benefit the UNICEF Tap project. This project provides clean water to underprivileged children around the world. $1 can provide clean water for a child for 40 days! The auctions work like any other ebay auction. You will have one week to claim your invite, and one month to purchase your phone. Invites will be emailed to winners on August 10. This is not a bad way to actually have a chance at a OnePlus 2 invite! Of course the bids are getting ridiculously high so unless you just really want to donate to UNICEF it may not actually be worth it.
