https://forums.butterflylabs.com/hardware-discussion/3752-group-buy-chips-board-production-ready-plug-usb-mining-24-32gh-s.htmlGroup Buy Chips for Board production (Ready:Plug in-USB -Mining 24-32GH/s)We are working on producing the PCB to mount BFL chips.
Boards would be ready to plug in the power and USB and then start mining (you will need a power supply)
Processing Power of the boards will be 24-32 GH/s (6-8 chips)
This group buy is not for buying single chips. The finalising of the PCB will be in approx.2 weeks time.
Testing of the boards will take 1 week when chips are in our hands.
Of course, BFL ASIC chips will be the main components of the circuit.
As you can see on the BFL's announcement, minimum order is 100 chips.
I will place an order to BFL every time that the 50% of the money for the chips will be paid.
The sooner the order is placed the sooner the chips will be in our hands so the sooner the board will start mining.
About Chips Group Buy:1)Paymet will be in BTC, but all prices will be in USD, as BFL accepts only USD for the chips
2)Terms of purchase and Considerations from BFL
3)50% of the chip cost will be due prior to the placement of the order. When the chips are ready and the final 50% is due to BFL, the remaining 50% will be due.
4)Pricing: i)Price for each chip will be 75$ ii)If you have credit chips the price will be $50, up to the number of credits that you have. If you want to buy more chips than your credits the cost will be $75
5)Board will have 6-8 chips, not finalised yet, so please do not place an order for less than 6 chips. If you place an order for 8 chips and finally 6 chips will be used 150$ (or 100$ if you have BFL credits) will be refund to you. If you place an order for 6 chips and 8 chips will be used, you will be asked to pay the difference prior to the shipment of your board.
About Boards Order and Buy:1)Boards will be finilised in approx 2 weeks time.
2)Specifications are based on BFL parametres, which means that boards will have the maximum possible efficiency and they will not be experimental projects as many of us can do.
3)Processing Power will be 24-32 GH/s, depends on how many chips will be finally used.
4)Cost for each board will be approx 500$ (excluding the chips), with the best possible specifications for the maximum productivity.
5)The deposit for placing orders for the boards is 25$ per chip. This is 150$ for 6 chips and 200$ for 8 chips
6)You can finish with the payment of the boards when boards are ready and fully functional.
7)You are responsible for covering the shipping cost and taxes/duties on your end.
