Reel #1 has been paid for and is now closed.
Reel #3. As with before, if the group buy for reel #3 is not executed by the 12th it will be cancelled and everyone will be refunded.

The reel needs to be paid for by 1/12/2014. At this I am asking for full payment to assure your place in the group buy.

MegaBigPower.com will be selling single chips once they are in stock. This may mean that they are available for sale on the site before mine have been delivered. They have not yet announced availability dates or prices for single chips, their prices will vary from mine.

Payment will only be accepted in BTC, as that's how the payment will be sent. However, since the price of the reel is pegged in USD, the cost of the individual chips will be based on a USD price as well.

At the time of this posting, the Bitpay value of bitcoin is about $770. Prices are currently based on that, a final price will be given at the time of purchase. In the event the price of BTC changes by more than $5 at the time of payment;  If the price goes up, you will be refunded the difference. If it goes down you will be asked to pay me the difference.

Please only send payment from addresses you can receive and sign a message from. In the event this group buy is not executed by 1/12, any payments sent will be refunded. Payment in full is required at this time.

Once I submit payment to MegaBigPower.com, no refunds can be given. If the order is not placed by 1/12/2014 all payments will be refunded in BTC for the amount sent. If you receive defective chips, all RMAs must be done through me.

Who am I and why should you trust me?
This is my first group buy. I have purchased a lot of hardware from this sub forum, mainly USB miners. Any of the large group buy organizers for Erupters, Furies, and now Antminers have me on their order book. I have only just started using the trust system on here. I would prefer to purchase through a group buy than organize one myself, but there are none available, and several people in the bitfury sales thread have expressed an interest in a group buy.

I have transacted a large volume of BTC over the past year through #Bitcoin-OTC on IRC. I am highly rated on OTC. It is under a different handle, but I have signed and verified in a previous post.

I am a top rated eBay seller with over 500 positive feedback in the past year for the sale of Bitcoin mining hardware.

I work with an engineer locally to produce mining hardware based on the Nano Fury design. I have offered the finished product on eBay, and a sample on here. I hope to sell in bulk at wholesale through group buys on here when I can get the price and productoin quantity where it needs to be.

I am more than happy to verify any of this. I am willing to provide a higly rated escrow agent a copy of my State ID. I am located in South Florida, 33076.

I am committing to 500 chips myself. I can take up to 1,000 if it makes the difference between this group buy going through or not.

I could be down for some, curious who's assembling with BF chips these days?

From my experience: Megabigpower is making modular rigs. Red furies are being produced but you don't see much being offered publically from the manufacturers. A lot of smaller people and groups are going by the open source Nano Fury design, a few different end products have been poping up on eBay. I have seen people offering "bumping" service, where they will mount your bare chips onto a working board for a cost. Usually less than what you pay for finished products but more than if you can do the whole thing yourself. I am trying to arrange something with my local contacts to offer such a service. There are also DIY kits out there, but I have not tried any myself.

I'm sure there are others, they sold A LOT of these chips on the last run, and only a fraction of it can be account for with what is sold publicly.

I would be interested in 20 chips

I would likely be interested in 200 chips.

What is the delivery date?  I didn't see it in the OP.  Thanks.

Thank you for pointing that out. OP updated.

They are anticipating mid February delivery.

I can get 250. Not 100% sure as I need to research a little more. In simple calculations I can get approx 1k USD worth.

I'm gonna put you down for 200. I have a feeling at least half of the reservations are not 100%, so don't sweat it. This is filling faster than I expected though, I will do 2 reels if there is enough interest. As soon as I get something official from MBP I am going to ask people to start submitting payments. I'm sending some additional emails and PMs tonight, so hopefully I will get word tomorrow.

I confirm my 100 because you asked for.

Sh..t, I'm currently out of BTC and will not have anytime soon. Wire transfer? Anyone have BTC for sale directly? I have verified account on Mtgox but it takes days to found account there.

Is there a listing available of current hardware producers?

Well crap, i have been waiting for this for a while now. Does anyone have links to either DIY PCB kits or know of a PCB with BOM to build a miner out of these with? I was going to do a $20,000 pre-order next weekend but if i can get a whole reel of chips for just over $15,000 i imagine if i could find a decent PCB design in play already i could build a hell of a mining setup for 20k.

If someone has a solid line on a PCB setup kind of like the massive swarm of Avalon gen 2 miners running around with the 100gh/s nodes stacking up to 400 GH/s in a case i would love to see a link, and would probably take a whole reel of chips if you can get them this month.

i have been looking for diy kits as thinking of buying some chips if anyone knows please give some links


thanks

Interested in 50.
DIY angle.
I also would like to take over the world via hashing but I'm still working on my hidden base.

(edits for OP: MagaBigPower & vale)

Put me down for 250

How much do you need?

put me down for 500

I would be interested in 20 chips!

I'm going to pick up a couple extra BTC today. I may be able to take some PayPal payments (verified to the address they are shipping to) or a wire transfer.

I'm also gathering some info on DIY kits and bumping service. Are you guys interested in single chip USB miners or modular 16 chip card systems? I am working on single chip nano devices myself, and may be able to extend such services.

I'm also looking into manufacturing a batch of single- or dual-chip USB miners.

Although it is arguably a wiser business decision to sell USB shovels, DIY multi-chip is my preference.
I want to make it and mine with it.

Here are three projects I have seen.
 - One String - a novel bitfury miner design - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370932.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370932.0)
Project QikFury - prototype v1 Bitfury H-Boards https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=391689.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=391689.0)
NanoFury Project - Open Source Design https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321287 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321287)

I can't speak to the viability of these projects and many of these already have high visibility but just 'for the record'.

Hello Guys,

Happy New Year And Best  Wishes To ALL  :)

I am interested for 1000 chips too,

Cheers,

BitcoinValet - Did Dave get back to you on the payment specs?  If not, I can get the info you need.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions!

-Jason

Not as of yet. I got an email from Jason that he wold forward my message to Dave, but I did not hear from anyone today. Please PM me

Thanks.

Hi sent you a pm

Would also be interested in 16 bit fury chips all on one board

Cheers.

Hey I know that guy!  I'll check up with Dave in a few.

-Jason

I'd be interested in 64 chips and assembly as either thumbs, boards or both.

The group buy for Bitfury chips is on!

I have approval from Dave to conduct a group buy with the following disclaimers;

1) Dave reiterated that MegaBigPower.com will be selling single chips once they are in stock. This may mean that they are available for sale on the site before mine have been delivered.

I feel that this has been addressed in the OP. This group buy is for people who want to reserve single chips the way you would be able to reserve a full reel. There has been no anouncment when single chips will be available on the site, or what the pricing will be. I based my pricing on the last round of single chips costing a flat 20% more than they do by the reel regardless of quantity. So I set the price of less than 50 chips at 20% over the per reel cost, and then discounting it depending on quantity. Also in the past the cost of shipping through MegaBigPower.com has been included in the price, but I do require that buyers pay shipping. If the group buy does not go through or there are unforeseen issues I will refund any BTC sent to my payment address, up until the point that the full payment is submitted to MegaBigPower. Once the reel has been paid for, I cannot offer refunds for anything besides defective chips.

2) Any support or RMAs from this group buy has to be handled through me.
Unless there is some extreme circumstance, I plan to refund any defective units, and will RMA them to the manufacturer once they have accumulated.

This shouldn't change anything, but please take it into consideration before ordering.

OP will be updated accordingly. I am submitting my funds for the chips I am reserving. I am no longer taking reservations and now asking for payments.

Regarding DIY Kits and bumping service;

Single chip USB Nano Furies;
DIY Kits:
We should be able to put something together before the mid Feb. release of Bitfury chips. For this to be feasible we would need to do an initial run of at least 500 kits. The kit would consist of a nano fury board with all the parts placed except the USB port and heatsink. You would need to solder the USB connector and your own bitfury chip. The hatsink is peel and stick. You then need to flash the miner, we can provide a program to do this. I need a couple days to get a price together if we do a run of 500 or 1000. My ballpark guess at this time would be in the $50-$60 range for individual kits, and there would be some volume pricing model.

Chip placement - "bumping service"
We will be able to offer assembly of your chips onto fully assembled Nano Fury boards. You will pay the cost of parts, and an assembly fee. General turnaround time should be around 3 weeks once all the components are in hand and provided machine time has been scheduled. I really need to wait to hear back regarding pricing, but I should know in a couple days. The quandary here is that bumping service would not likely be much less than if we just assembled the final product and offered it through this board at wholesale, which is one of our goals. There are however times when Bitfury chips may not be readily available, and this may be desirable to some buyers once MegaBigPower announces how they they are going to handle single chip orders.

Wholesale Nano Furies:
This would need to be organized through a group buy. We would need to do a run of at least 500 units, and that is a bigger order than I can handle out of pocket. The turnaround time is about 3 weeks (once the Bitfury chips are delivered) from start to finish including quality control and delivery times. I should have a more precise price in the next couple days, but we are estimating in the range of $70-$100 per unit with a volume pricing model.

Multi-chip cards and modular units;

A lot of people have contacted me in a short time expressing very serious interest in multi-chip cards. We hear you guys, and trust me we are listening. We are exploring some of the open source options posted in this thread, and considering some other angles. However there is a lot of research and development required before we can even begin offer something publicly.

I will be updating this information as it is received.

I will pay tomorrow. Probably upping my order to 500.

If everyone follows through and the trend continues, we may be looking at 2 reels.

Hi
Can you put me down for 16 chips please

Thankyou

I wasn't joking, if someone can come up with a DIY solution for a simple scalable multi-chip board, open source of course. or fairly priced to just buy the boards i would fully be interested in buying a whole reel of 3000 chips. Just something about building my own 7.8 TH/s miner that trips my trigger. I would love to see something like what all the Chinese are doing with the 2nd gen avalon chips. Stackable modules with like 100 chips per module, controlled by a FPGA or something. the ability to put 4 Modules in a 4U case and stack them up.

I really think its about time as a community that we start getting away from companies and doing for ourselves. There is not a single member on this forum who has not been held hostage by most of these companies poor business practices at one time or another. Maybe when we make it clear that we do not need them, they will change their ill-thought ways.

Any idea on how many total reels will be available? And what kind of a discount can one get for just buying a whole reel? or multiple reels? If there is a legit open source DIY option available and if it comes to fruition before the chips are available i might even consider ordering a few reels as i live only 5 miles from Advanced Circuits and have a good rapport with them so i could probably get my units assembled quite cost effectively and quickly.

I'll buy the last 10 from the first reel.

edit: Payment sent.

Those weren't actually the last 10, but your order is confirmed. The requests were taken to determine if this group buy was worth perusing. Chips are available on a first come first served basis, so they go to whoever pays for them first. If we fill the reel and there is still enough demand we will order a second one.

Ok, finally found a PCB i can work with, with only having to make some miner modifications. took 4 days of constant searching but i found it, and will be doing the re-design.

You can put me down for a full Reel, Probably a dumb question but do you accept Direct wire transfer? It would be much easier than me having to bring in coin from cold storage as i only keep 5 coin per freezer. Might take a week to pay if you cannot accept a wire transfer.

If you want a full reel you should contact MegaBigPower directly. I do not represent them, I put this group buy together for people who cannot take on a full reel themselves.

www.megabigpower.com is their website

Here is the announcement of pre-orders for full reels.

Thanks Valet, looking into it now.

Ah, sorry for the confusion.  Thanks.

I'll be looking into designing a board as well.  It's nice to see inexpensive chips on the market again.

sent BTC for 100 chips + PM

Must drop my order to approximately 8 chips + shipping

Will send payment in ~2.5hrs. (Have to rescan blockchain again, stupid Mac)


So that would put 42? Chips open

Paid for mine. Sent pm.

Am also interested in a DIY multichip board.

The chips will be delivered mid-February.

Ordering is now (on or before 01/07/2014).

Jump on in.  ;)

Please reread OP or PM BitcoinValet.

Fair enough! Bitcoin sent for 100 pcs.

PM sent with shipping info

Sorry that I was slow to respond to everyone today. A lot of paid orders came in, and we only have about 700 chips left to go. I know that DrZek wanted 1,000, but we needed to work out international shipping. So there may be a second reel that we try to get going.

Hey BitcoinValet I PM'ed you:

I just paid for 250 chips + shipping

I would be interested in 32 chips.

BitcoinValet I PM you
paid 470 chip

Paid for 250 chips

PM sent.

Cheers,

Odd, my old post never appeared.

I have paid for 50, sent a PM and am just awaiting shipping cost info.

Reel #1 is closed, and has been paid for.

https://blockchain.info/tx/b3be98e1609fdd6b15bd6e8bdfb3a274285257211d55fe1a354c847e13c189ca

Since the value of BTC increased a good amount, I need to calculate and send refunds to everyone that overpaid. Once I finish, I will open up a 2nd reel.

Huzzah!

Here is how I am calculating the refund schedule. Please feel free to double check my math or point out any inconsistencies.

At the time payment was sent, the BitPay rate was at $892. So I recalulate the BTC cost at that rate against the same the same USD price model. I then subtracted the original per chip cost from the final per chip cost in the different volume levels, to get a per chip refund price.

0.0067 - .0008 | 1-49
0.0065 - .0007 | 50-99
0.0062 - .0006 | 100-249
0.0059 - .0006 | 250-499
0.0057 - .0006 | 500+

So if you bought 60 chips, the final cost was .0065 per chip, the refund per chip is .0007, and I would owe you a total refund of .042

Since it only took a dozen of us to fill a reel, I am going to PM everyone with the amount I owe you, and request a payout address. If there are any discrepancies please contact me or reply to the thread.

50-99 group refund/unit looks good to me.
(error in favor of the group buy participant of 0.00000224 BTC/unit)  :D

Hi
I am ready to pay for some chips can I send payment to you yet

Reel 1 is closed, but you can send payment for reel 2. I am going to get 250 on reel #2, but other than that you would be the first person.

I am working on PMing everyone I owe overpayment refunds to. OP should be up to date, but I need to modify a thing or two, everything should be organized in the next few hours.

I'am rdy too. What is the price for chips in second reel?

All pricing and payment info is on the OP.

Is it the new reduced price we pay

Just updated the BTC prices, forgot about that. Sorry I have been slow today, I have had limited time.

Hi
Can you reserve me 11 chips please my transfers are being slow

PMs sent for overpayment refunds. If I owe you a refund and you have not gotten a PM from me, please contact me directly.

Interest seems to be dying down on the second reel. If the order is going to go through we need to fill the second reel by tomorrow. I can Get some BTC and bring my total order up to 1,000, but we still need other people to order the other 1,900.

If anyone has been waiting, now is the time to get your order in.

Things are not looking good for reel 2. Seems like most of the people waiting on these that couldn't buy a full reel placed big orders on the reel 1 group buy.

If anyone is still waiting to send a payment, please make it known. I could do up to another 500 myself on reel 2 for a total of 1000. If someone wants to order 1,000 or more before tomorrow, I will do it at cost ($5/chip) Orders of 500 and up I can do the reel 1 price of $5.10 per chip.

well...I am still considering...
Can you put me in reel 1 if I want to have 20 pcs? Is it possible? ::)

Put me down for 500 chips.  I will have to convert cash to BTC though - could take several days.

Can any hero member vouch for BitcoinValet?

Thanks a lot.

Can order another 100 from Reel #2 to go along with the 100 from Reel #1
already paid & confirmed. LMK if Reel #2 is a go.

Its really up in the air right now. There are only about 600 paid for, most by myself or spill over from reel 1. But from the PMs I have been getting people want another 1,500 or so. Payment is due tomorrow though, so unless it all comes in in th next 12 hours, reel 2 will be canceled, and anyone who paid will be refunded.

BitcoinValet and everyone else in this GB - I don't know if that would help with the hesitation :) - but if you guys need any help with the NanoFury manufacturing process I can certainly assist and work with you to meet the specific requirements of the various factories (and can also recommend a few US-based ones).
In a nutshell - if you elect to go that route I can help you with ensuring the guaranteed results.

I like to have 20 pcs.

0.0066 x 20 = 0.132

paid already.

Thanks.

Been meaning to post this, and have been getting requests for it through PM.


Reel 2 is looking a bit more promising than the OP may imply. I am working with a couple people through PM that would bring us close to the total to send a payment for the order tonight. My best advice if you want to reserve your price on Reel 2 is to just send your payment. We will know by the end of day today (Tuesday) if I am able to send payment or not, and if I don't have enough funds to put the order through everyone on reel 2 will be promptly refunded.

hi

have sent payment for 5 more chips if you can add to my order to make a total of 16

They group but for Reel #2 is on. The full amount of the funds are sitting in the wallet, and I am just waiting for an invoice from MegaBigPower so I can send payment. Most of this reel was filled by myself and a private buyer because we wanted to have the funds in today, but I am going to be selling off some of the chips I paid for myself. Please wait until the payment has been sent for reel #2 before sending any more funds. I will update this thread as soon as the order is settled with info on how many chips are remaining for sale through the group buy.

Do you know what your pricing will be for the chips you sell from Reel #2?

Sent payment for 100 chips from Reel 2:

PM coming

Thanks!

Still deciding. I can get 100 chips if I am able to research a few quick things. I did go through various links in this thread, and I am just looking for estimates.

- How much do we expect for the boards (I don't think I will want to make a board unless it's pretty easy to make). Some guy 'goxed' is planning to sell 16 chip board for $100+. Spending $100+ per 40 GHS boards, doesn't sound very exciting to me.
- How many chips per board can be used on an average. Do we expect some boards for more than 16 chips?

Reel 2 is paid. BitPay BB at time of payment: $852

Miner_48er your 100 are on there, and there is one or two other people I have to add to the order list on OP.

Dave has told me he can take payment through the end of the week, and I have PMs from people still wanting another couple thousand. I am going to open a 3rd reel but I first need to organize my order sheets on my end and respond to a small stack of PMs, reel 3 info should be on the OP a little later in the day. This is likely going to be the last reel I order, so make sure to get on it if you wanted in on this group buy but got closed out because of time constraints.

That's good to know, so I can research more.

Reel #3 is now open.

This will be the last reel I am ordering as part of this group buy. You have until the end of the week to send your payments, first come, first served. 1,000 chips have been pledged by someone from a previous reel who has proven they will send payments on time when they commit.

I am selling a few hundred of my chips from reel #2. orders in reel 3 for under 50 chips will be placed in reel #2 from my chips. I also have 100 chips that I will accept PayPal for at a rate of $6.25 per chip. You must pay from an account that has a verified address that they will be shipped to, PayPal payments must be eligible for seller protection.

Please set me up for 16 pcs

Payment sent for 500 chips from Reel 3.

https://blockchain.info/tx/3ee5a63ea4ae7f2c62ed02b77830afd6ecf76ddcedf2a455b3875324c03430b0

The info for reel #3 has been updated. There are still about 1,400 chips that need to be paid in the next couple of days if this reel is going to go through. I got a few PMs for small orders, but it didnt drop the number of unpaid chips much. I may be able to pay for 250 on that reel myself if I scramble to get some money into BTC tomorrow. But it seems like we need at least a few more buyers with big orders to get this through. Also Dave told me I could pay through the end of the week, but I am not sure if that means Saturday or Sunday. I am going to contact him for another invoice and find out the actual cutoff.

If you are looking for 100 or more chips from this group buy, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I do not currently have anymore from reel 2 available for PayPal, but that may change after I process the first few requests I got.

I like to increase my quantity to 100 PCs by PayPal. Could you please PM me your PayPal ID? Thank you.

Payment sent for 16 chips same address as my order on reel 2

Sorry to OP to go slightly off topic here but has anybody else from the UK ordered any of these? If so, send me a PM if you are going to be making nanofury boards as well, I was wondering on your quotes and the potential to get some assembled in the same order to lower production costs.

Hi
Wondered if reel 3 had gone through

so how is real 3 going i wanted to jump in but it said it might be cancelled 

I got an email today from dave that he ordered a few extra reels and will invoice me when I have the BTC ready to send. It also looks like it will fill up soon according to some pms I got.

So reel #3 is going to go through, but everyone needs to get heir money in ASAP.

BitcoinValet - if you need me to buy some more to close the reel, just PM me

I will be paying for another 250 very shortly.  Just moving BTC.

Payment sent yesterday for 150 chips - PM sent

Cheers,

add 18 more to my order of 32 please.  Sent PM to clarify amount to pay.

when should be possible get chips ordering now?

Any updates?  According to a previous post, Reel 3 open, but the payment deadline has passed.

Ditto - I am interested if there is still time.

I haven't updated the OP since reel 3 should be closed. Dave told me he ordered a couple extra so I could send payment when I have all the BTC together. There are still about 600+ remaining on reel 3, and it is going to be closed very soon.

Put me up for 28 pcs, payment comming shortly.
I would order more, but not enough BTC.

EDIT: Sent payment for 28 pcs.

Payment sent for +350 chips. PM sent too

Cheers,

Are there any left?

Reel 3 is closed, and the group buy is now officially closed. Reel 3 has not been paid for. I sent Dave an email Saturday morning requesting an invoice. I last heard from him Monday when he said a couple extra reels were ordered and to tell him when I had all the BTC in hand. In the off chance I am not able to send payment for reel #3, everyone who paid for chips in reel 3 will be refunded the amount that was sent. You can see the BTC is all still sitting in the wallet, and will not be moved until I hear from Dave, likely tomorrow.

The OP at this point is up to date. If anything you see on there does not match your order, please pm right away. My detailed order sheet matches the op as far as who gets how many.

There are 66 chips not paid .

if they doesn't pay in 8 hr,

I'll take it.

I'll check thread after 8 hr.

I have to admit i didn't even notice that, I was just adding all the number. The one for 50 I am working out a side deal for a different payment method, and the one for 16 has had ti reserved long enough that all of the unpaid chips were considered first come first serve.

I wouldn't mind adding them to my own stock, but since you spotted it I can offer up to 70 for sale as per the OP instructions.

Ok, I'll take 70 chips,  I'm outside of my home.

I'll pay after 8 hr.

Thanks.

Reel 3 has been paid for. Payment was sent direct rather than through BitPay.

Confirmation was sent by email.

Mid February is near. Any news, rumors, delivery times?

I need 50 chips. Would anyone sell the preorder to me? PM!

At the megabigpower web site, there was a meesage  "ASIC chips will be available in mid-to-late February 2014".

I think it mean 28,Feb,2014 :-)

I will make an announcement when we get them in.

Looking to buy 100

Hi I need to pay you the postage I have sent you a pm

Looking to buy 52, anyone cares to transfer order(or part of it).
Thank you.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a small number of chip to experiment with.  Just one would be a start but ideally I'd like between 6 and 10.

I've got some designs to experiment with but they're only in my head so far because I figure if I can't get hold of any chips it's not worth having designed and made the boards.

I'd appreciate it if anyone who can help me out would get in touch.  The ideal scenario would be someone who is also in the UK, as I am, but don't let me put you off if you're not.

Thanks and regards

I got an email today from MegaBigPower saying that reel came in. I don't have tacking yet, but it seems I will have them this week.

I'm checking over my order sheet now, and am going to be sending PMs to anyone who I have not revived shipping payments from. If the op says you have not paid shipping, but you have, please contact me.

Woohoo!!!!!

I updated everything today so I have a complete order sheet, and the OP matches my quantities. I Pm'd a few people today to collect shipping, but for the most part everyone is caught up.

For international Shipping;
Most people are using USPS express unless we have discussed otherwise. For customs declaration i declare merchandise, described as computer parts, and will have a declared value of $1 per chip, if you ordered 500 or more I will declare them $0.50 per chip. If you need to make other arrangements please contact me.

I got my tracking number today, I should get the reels tomorrow. Depending what time they get in, I will try to get packages out tomorrow. If not they will be packed and ready for the next day. A couple non USPS or international orders may take me an additional day. Everyone that is paid up should have their chips sent out by Thursday, assuming my reels arrive tomorrow (Tuesday). I will PM tracking numbers as they are generated.

Great news! Thank you for the update, and for hosting the group buy.

Have paid postage if you can update the op

Thanks

I was only able to get 3 packages out today. I will be packing through the night into tomrrow. Most packages will be sent out tomorrow, everything will be out by Thursday at the latest.

you have these chips?

Are you sending tracking numbers?

Bitfury assembly?

Does anyone have suggestions for chip assembly?

I see a couple of options available:

1) Technobit currently offers assembly

2) Wasp Collective offers assembly in the future

3) Drillbit Systems may offer assembly

I am not a spokesman for any of the previously mentioned companies and apologize if I am incorrectly stating their current position on chip assembly.

I am already helping some people with US-based assembly. I can check to see if they mind joining your order to theirs, or alternatively I can also assist you run your own series. Feel free to PM me if interested and let me know how many chips you're looking to assemble.

I am planning to make the S-HASH boards with the bitfury chips. For myself I make 5 boards, if there are more people who want S-Hash boards may be I can start up some sort of group-production, the more boards we make and assemble the lower the price. I live in the Netherlands, no problem shipping Europe or Worldwide.

Some months ago I got a pricequote for 5 boards fully assembled if I delivered the Bitfury Chips and the LPC1758FBD80's, price would be around 200 euro per board. Most expensive is the startup (Paste Stencil, Programming, etc), the startup costs were around 500 euro. So If we can gather people to make more boards, price a piece will drop.

The LPC1758FBD80 is quiet hard to get and not always on stock, you/we can buy it here:
http://nl.farnell.com/ge-critical-power/apts050a0x3-srphz/dc-dc-non-isolated-2vdc-50a/dp/2076816?Ntt=APTS050A0X3-SRPHZ
price is 38 to 33 euro.

All prizes mentioned are just an indication, if more people are interested I can ask a definitive quote. I won't charge any costs for my work (hours), the only thing I will ask is a small donation from the people who join this group-production. The only compensation/charge/costs would be shipping costs, but that is logical.

Hi, There was My ID in Reel #3 ( for 70 chips with international shipping)

But I can't find my ID in order list now.

What's going on?  ???

EAgerly standing next to my apt's shared mailbox for the postman to gimme mah chips ^_^


this past weekend killed me waiting but at least it was productive on the design front for my custom boards

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Chips arrived.  They look a bit different than the last batch..?

http://diffpair.com/misc/bitfury.jpg

Alternate packaging. They come packaged like this and the first first batch had a 5G or a Greek letter beta

No worries; I was posting an image so people knew what to expect.  They look good to me.

Now the waiting game begins for my prototype boards to be fabbed.

*Taugeran feels himself growing older staring at paint dry waiting

As people receive and inspect their chips Could you please leave me trust rating. Send me a pm after you do so and I will return the favor.

All the US buyers shuold have received their chips at this point. The international orders should start arriving late this week through the next week or so, hopefully not much longer.

I took care of that a while ago!

Thanks for the group buy

Have any left?

Postman was at my home with my chips but I was not home  >:( I will pick them up at the postoffice tommorow.

Monday 10th I am going to a company who can probably produce and assemble S-Hash boards. Maybe later that day I can give some prizes here for people who want to join production to keep prizes low.

can i ask how you got 3000 chips for 15K$ and in the site say 1 chip =45K$


thank you

Got mine today !  ;D Thanks BitcoinValet for this awesome groupbuy
