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 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:

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.
