Title: [UPDATE] BFL ASIC Chips $59/chip. Batch 1 purchased July 3rd. Post by: CrazyGuy on June 16, 2013, 06:53:58 AM Update 09-23-2013 - Prepare for second half of payment and make decision on mounting Please start gathering funds for the second half of your payment. I expect BFL will be asking for payment shortly. Also, I will be sending my chips to Mr Teal for board mounting. Please let me know if you would like me to include your chips in the order.
Update 07-13-2013 - SOLD OUT Thanks for all that participated, batch 2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255403) is now open Update 07-12-2013 - Fire Sale!! Cash buy dropped out and 20 chips have become available. Closing batch 1 at 9 PM CST Update 07-03-2013 - Batch #1 order placed on July 3rd. There are 24 chips still available from batch 1. $59 price is valid on remaining chips until Batch #2 is opened next week. I will be using my chip credits to facilitate a 100 chip group buy of BFL ASIC chips at a discounted price of $59 per chip. I will be doing 2 batches if there is significant interest. You are not required to provide any chip credits for this price. Price includes shipping to continental US. Original Price: http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/59usd.png per chip total http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/29.5usd.png per chip up front This batch is closed, If you are looking for a better price, batch 2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255403) is now open Current price for remainder of batch 1 http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/62usd.png per chip total http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/31usd.png per chip up front Current Batch and payment address: Batch #1 - Quote jelin1984 - 16 Chips 1FidVQkMfX4ezDHqfbrA4kprpKGPGUXdPT - 24 chips suprabitz - 6 chips CrazyGuy - 8 Chips aristodemus - 32 Chips lacle - 4 chips dat.le79 - 2 chips djjacket - 8 chips Batch #2 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255403 Payment: Users will be expected to pay 50% up front per bfl purchase requirements. Payment amount should be determined by buyer, using mtgox weighted average or ticker in thread. At the time of purchase, I will re-evaulute price based on BTC conversion rate and refund or request more money, dependent on where the conversion rate stands. The Second half will be required before shipment. To avoid shipping delays for all buyers, the second payment will be required within 12 hours of request. Inability to pay second half will result in forfeit of chips ordered. Please contact me before sending payment. Also, any payments made should be made from an address you own(not mtgox etc...) This will prevent any complication in returning payments. More Details - I will not be mounting the chips or providing a PCB. You will be receiving the bare ASIC chips. - Minimum order of 5 chips. - Price includes priority shipping to USA. Please contact for shipping rates outside of US. Title: Re: [Group] BFL ASIC chip purchase $65/chip. Batch #1 80 chips left Post by: CrazyGuy on June 17, 2013, 05:12:24 PM I'll kick it off by purchasing the first 20 of batch 1 myself. 80 chips available.

1. where are you from 2. shipping to EU, Slovenia 3. do you take BTL cupones(I have 12). If so how much is half? 4. any idea how many chips will be per PCB? 5. is 65$ biased on you having a lot of cupones or did you get discaunt? 6. since price is in $ not in BTC do you take Paypal?

No need to send them in to me, I've got you covered. If you do want to send your vouchers, I'll bring the price down to 59.50 per chip.Title: Re: [BFL ASIC Chips] $59/chip.

The BFL spec board that was released was can only support 2 chips reliably, otherwise BFL wouldn't have needed to design the "longboard." With some power changes (better mosfets), it could probably do up to 8 chips. Cooling the chips isn't really a big issue (use a waterblock CPU cooler), but you need to make sure the design doesn't cause other parts of the board to overheat and catch on fire. TLDR; There's a bunch of engineering work that still needs to happen before a community BFL board becomes a reality. Title: Re: [Group] BFL ASIC chip purchase $65/chip.

Title: Re: [BFL ASIC Chips] $59/chip. Batch #1 31 left. FPGA trade in accepted. Post by: FatMagic on July 01, 2013, 04:06:36 PM Hey Crazy -
I'd like to reserve 2 chips if possible. I will have the BTC in about a week's time or sooner (mining it). I have two coupon codes also from BFL, if those will help discount the price at all. If not I'll just sell my coupon codes on BitMit. I'm good on my word. But if you can't reserve the chips and wait for me to send the BTC for 2 chips, that is fine - I understand. Let me know. Thanks.

I'm really trying to keep the minimum order at 5 chips but we have 31 left so I'll allow orders smaller than 5 but you will have to pay shipping. I'll be placing the order within the next few days regardless of if all spots are filled. I will leave the 31 remaining chips up for sale at that point but I will probably raise the price as we get closer to shipping. Title: Re: [BFL ASIC Chips] $59/chip. Batch #1 31 left.

After thinking about it, I'm not sure I would get much use out of the chips myself. I was hoping to load them into my existing Jala - but I found out that's not possible. So I'll pass, don't reserve anything for me - but thanks anyways :) Title: Re: [BFL ASIC Chips] $59/chip. Batch #1 28 left. FPGA trade in accepted. Post by: CrazyGuy on July 04, 2013, 08:50:54 AM Batch #1 has been purchased with BFL, 28 chips are still available and will be available at $59 for the time being. Next week I'll be opening Batch #2, at which point any remaining Batch 1 chips will increase in price.

A few have asked to purchase less than 5 chips. I am willing to sell less than 5, however, the buyer will need to pay a $10 flat rate shipping charge in the US before shipment.

They did provide a 100 day estimate in the beginning and they have sent sample chips. BFL started taking orders June 1st so I would expect to see the first wave of chips hitting the streets mid-September. Title: [UPDATE] BFL ASIC Chips $59/chip. Batch 1 purchased July 3rd. Post by: CrazyGuy on September 24, 2013, 03:29:57 AM Group buy members, please start preparing for the second half of your payment. I expect BFL will be requesting payment soon and I want to ensure we receive our order in a timely manner. Also, I will be sending my chips to Mr Teal for mounting and I can do the same for everyone. Please let me know if you are interested. I do not have a price yet, but will update when I have one.
