Yes and Yes
We can use as anexample DPD

Totaly agree 9700 USD can be covered by creditcard limit
I'll look @ this sseriusly as soon BFL have a real world working  production with this chips.
By my opitnion here are the mininmum reqiered to think about chips/DIY boards, assembly from BFL
1. Continius production with this chips (not on a 10-15 1 chip units per 2-3 days)
2.Full reference design including boards, BOM, software, mechanics
3. Having in mind BFL customer service history payment with escrow of some kind.

Yes I'll send them to BKKcoins to add them to the project as soon we have a working K16 board.
I did already sent a sample heatsink for single K16 to BKK for tests

We got a quotation from diferent suplier for both PCB and assembly for 1000 batch order

Just for information
PCB + test + assembly - About 31 EUR per piece for batches of 200 pcs based on 3 weeks lead time
PCB + test + assembly - About 27 20.5 EUR per piece for batches of 1000 pcs based on 3 weeks lead time
Components for 200 pieces batch - 18.85 EUR
Components for 1000 pieces batch - 14.85 12.477 EUR
I'll add to the cost 4 Usd or 0.04 BTC per piece for BKKcoins
My fee to organize everything would be 10 %
So do the math 31 + 18.85 = 49.85*1.1 = 54.835 EUR + 0.04 BTC sent to developer for 200 boards batch
So do the math 20.5 + 12.477 = 32.977*1.1 = 36.275 EUR + 0.04 BTC sent to developer for 1000 boards batch
