+1 looking for  64 Bitfury chips. Ofcourse the prices will make sense if <USD 25 per piece. $15 is something I am targeting.

Bitfury chips are sold out world wide. I was looking for some myself, looks like there are gone.
Contact bitfury directly, he is a member on this forum and ask him if there is another batch is being produced.

does that mean they will not produce any more?

what is taking them so long

if they have already produced why can't they just do it again they have all the infrastructure in place

im sorry for my lack of knowledge in chip production

I just contacted support and Dave e-mailed back explaining that he's out but can accept preorders at $5/chip for a full 3000-chip reel.  He expects to restock in February.  I've asked to see if smaller orders will be available directly through the website in February, no response as yet.

Nope.  We're waiting for February I guess.  In the meantime I'm scouring the 'net still hoping for someone willing to resell.

Forgive my ignorance but what are you guys using the chips with to build up systems? I didn't realize how strong the market was in that regard and it has me very interested.

I am just building Nanofurys - just for time spending and gather solder experience.

BTW: What is the actual price for a bitfury? What do you think?

If I ever get some chips I'll probably start with a NanoFury or two, then I'd like to put together a 16x board like the Klondike (yes, I'm aware that's Avalon-based but still...). 

Once I get a good feeling for how the hashing process actually works I have a couple ideas for a new miner that I'd like to test.  Nothing groundbreaking, but it's frustrating that I can't even work on a prototype because I can't get the chips.  These guys who propose designs in the contests before the chips have even been released amaze me - no idea how they do it.  I need something physical in hand to play with when prototyping.
