Those accusing bitpop of being malicious:

He's not. He is simply informing you all with perfectly accurate information. Hardware wallets are the next step in securing our coins, but they are certainly not bulletproof and (as with anything) should still be treated with care and without negligence.

Yes, BFL has provided firmware for interfacing with the chips and some additional documentation.

I expect that by the time these chips are shipping I will have a board design in place and ready to go.

And here's a quote from BFL:

0.00000001

[Reserved for shipping updates]

Winner!

Please send coins to 1Garr2555P4oiAaLQqXkcdAKGg4SMt3RZS and PM me your address. If you are outside the US I will charge you separately for however much shipping costs.

Cheers,
Garrett

You can't edit in the auction subforum to prevent people from retracting bids and sellers from changing the terms.

Auction ends today!

Replied, thanks for the inquiry.

Chips remaining: 55

I've placed an order (#100066934) for 100 BFL Chips, and will be reselling them to those who want to purchase less than BFL's minimum order amount of 100.

Orders will be processed as they are received, in a first come first served queue. If more than 100 orders are placed here, I will purchase another batch of 100. The chips are scheduled to arrive no later than 100 days from the purchase date, which is September 24th.

The chips will hash at a minimum 4gh/s each. Please understand that you are not purchasing a ready-to-mine product here. The processors being sold will need to be incorporated into a host board before being used. If BFL does not deliver I shall not be held at fault.

The pricing structure is as follows:

1-4 Chips	5-9 Chips	10+ Chips

Thread rules: No advertising BFL chip/credit sales.

Yeah seriously... where are your manners kids?!

Indeed it is!

I'll raise a motion within a week polling whether we should buy chips or sell the codes.

Hi Ben,

The boards will be produced in a professional assembly house, by trained people who know exactly what they're doing. Because the assembly etc. is being outsourced the operation will be highly scalable, so there should be very little lead time to make chips into hashing miners (most likely under 1 week if you choose to overnight all the shipping). The $130 mentioned above will very likely be the final number, although you should not count on it yet. There is always the possibility that the board designs do not work and we have to go with a more costly board design (and that goes for all of these ASIC projects), although this is extremely unlikely. What I believe sets me apart from other services, is the increased likelihood of a fast turnaround. I will be producing boards for 10,000 chips before this group-buy order arrives, so I will be able to familiarize myself with the process and hopefully make a bunch of clients happy

Best,
Garrett

PS:

I couldn't agree more!

Order received, thanks

There are two types of people that argue against trusted escrow... scammers and asshats.

If you're neither of those, you should have no problem making a transaction via escrow

I sold some of these a few months ago for 100BTC each 

I just ordered one of each kind. Awesome work guys, I'm excited to see the produce

To you: yes.

To someone who knows how to use them: no.
