I would be infuriated if I was told I was first in the queue and then saw 'my' product in someone elses hands. Surely this deserves an apology.
I hope you receive your units soon Garr.
Even I have to side with BFL and call BS on the apology request. If BFL apologized for everything worthy of an apology they wouldn't get any work done. I'm not asking for an apology. I'm asking for the product I ordered  |

Orders start before 1600.
Months ago, a BFL employee confirmed that I was the first order. Humans make mistakes, sure, but I really wish you as a company would be a little more straight-forward, forthcoming, and transparent. No hard feelings, Josh. I know you do your best  |

This kind of angers me... BFL gives promoters the items out of line.
I have the absolute first SC Single order (#1656), and not even a shipping notification yet.

I am interested in purchasing some chips and a board but am a bit new to the ASIC DIY stuff. I am familiar with soldering boards and surface mount, however. I have seen various DIY board discussions, is this different from the other DIY board discussions and group buys?
Yes this is entirely different. We are using a custom overclocked board that will use the same chips to achieve a better hashrate, blowing the competition out of the water which achieving over 340mh/s per chip. Then my question is, how many chips designed for each "card"? Hope I understand your answer of the hosting board somehow  Yes, you should purchase chips in increments of 16 or 80. Currently we can host 80 chips per controller, between five hashing cards of 16 chips each. We hope to modify our power controls to be able to host 300+ chips per controller, but that will depend heavily on parts sourcing which is being taken care of this week Cheers, Garrett |

Stress-testing on the real blockchain or testnet? And for how long? Sounds like you're hinting that I should buy some more cog shares :p
Anyway btc for 20 chips headed your way, going to wait to see how difficulty and price fluctuates as well as your plans before considering more.
On a side note, and this is probably the wrong thread to ask you, but do you have any plans to put some asic boards into action for cognitive?
Testing will be done on both the real bitcoin blockchain. There's no sense in boosting the testnet diff and not making money... that's a lose-lose! Thanks for your order And yes, the Cognitive boards are a part of this group-buy (actually the first in queue) so they will be online as soon as the rest of these! Best, Garrett |

Okay to compensate for that mixup I'll bump my bid up to BTC1.5 now
Cheers

Is this the cost of the bare board or does it include assembly and/or additional components (heatsinks, standoffs, fans, etc.)?
That is everything you need to run the board except power, so heatsink and fan are included. How many chips planned for each host board?
It will be a modular design similar to Avalon's, where there are a number of chips per "card" that can be plugged into the board. This makes it so if one piece fails it is easily replaceable, as opposed to boards where everything is together Will it be possible to send the chips from you to the manufacturer of the boards and then have them shipped to us?
Regards,

Yes, this is exactly what the plans are. |

Would it be possible (physically and software wise) to upgrade a BFL 5 GH/s miner to a 25 GH/s?
I mean the board has space for the chips but only 2 (or was it one?) is soldered onto them.
In my humble opinion yes, but I not a soldering expert for SMD devices/chips.

I've concluded that it is not possible to populate the entire board, because of power issues. Thie Jalapeno case that they are shipping now was supposed to be the 25gh/s Little Single case, but the same power issues came about with their Jalapeno. I believe that it could be possible to add one or two chips to the board currently, but certainly not to populate all the sockets. Best, Garrett |

Update, 16 Jun:
I am working closely with a private board developer who is creating host boards for Avalon chips that will be able to achieve a higher hashrate per chip than standard boards. I will only be selling these boards to people who have purchased chips via my group-buy. Specifics will come within a month, after we have created the first batch of boards and stress-tested the heck out of them!

Update with regard to assembly:
I am talking to a private developer who will be working with me on Avalon boards and they are completely willing to do the same for these BFL chips.
Things are looking good!

I could still load a private key with 1 satoshi, then you include that in another transaction alongside a larger amount of coins to move it to your own account. There are many ways of procuring microtransactions through the standard network still, you just have to be a bit more creative I know there's no minimum price, and I know you're very clever Just don't expect to go below the minimum accepted transaction of 5430 satoshis 0.00000001
