As I said, I won't mine with them.  I'd use them for other projects.

Menig: Go on hkinventory, post an RFQ for XC6SLX150-3CSG484 (same IC on the ztex) and say quantity 100, reballs ok.  You'll get a deluge of suppliers from Shenzhen offering them at $40-$50 USD each.  Anyone who quotes AVNET, Digikey, etc are only useful for sourcing prototyping parts with short turn around.  They just buy from the same Chinese suppliers on hkinventory or alibaba for < 5k lots from Xilinx.

That's what crossed my mind as well.  Somewhere in the American government is the belief that Bitcoin is a currency.  Who still believes Bitcoin is monopoly money?  Even the government is saying otherwise.

I agree Lets all get together and make a huge group buy and buy as many units as possible so we can get preferred treatment and jump the line. We can all meet at a convention and video tape a group video of us running our units giving BFL a great media exposure. That alone will get our units quicker.

Just imagine the love and peace we can bring to the world as we show that BFL is good and loves everyone.

Oh my gosh I'm think I'm gonna cry.
