Title: Who else has 65nm BFL chips on hand?
Post by: Bogart on November 17, 2013, 04:51:47 AM
So I'm stuck with 87 chips that were delivered too late for me to get in on MrTeal's batch 1 or batch 2 Chili productions.

MrTeal says that a third batch could happen if there are enough orders for 100+ boards:

What would it take for there to be a batch 3?
I would guess at least 100 boards or so.

So...with 713+ more chips it could happen.

Is there anyone else out there stuck with these chips?  Post how many chips you've got, and let's see if we can make this happen.

I still have 16 chip credits. Not the actually chips themselves. What would be the best way to use/trade them?

Thanks, I'll inquire with him.  I've also inquired with Lucko himself in his Cointamination thread but have not heard back yet (I imagine he's in bed asleep now).

Yeah, everyone has chip credits.  They are of no use for this effort, unfortunately.

Could make them into Wasps... just need to see if any of our EEs would be keen to even bother with these. Drop me a PM.

Give them to someone you don't like.

I have 10 chips myself. Would love to get these made into something.

Thanks.  We've exchanged PMs now and I ordered 10 Chilis from the webstore.  I just shipped the chips off an hour ago or so.

It looks like they have another 17 boards available to purchase yet.

I kept 7 chips here.  Maybe I'll try putting some onto my jalapeno boards like this guy did:
