zefir... could you post the list of sample chips divided by batch?
In my case, it does not make sense to split off the first batch, since there were large orders in there with no committed support so far:
Users decided : 124 / 265 (46.79%)
Chips assigned : 37340 / 55450 (67.34%)

The numbers for the 1st batch are displayed as chips and percentage of whatever we will receive with the first delivery. As you can see, the main open source projects won't all get enough.
Given that most of the products out there are based on the four designs (burnin, BkkCoins, allten, Avalon) and given that bitmine.ch will receive their own set of sample chips, I would like to ensure that at least those are supported with enough chips from the first delivery. Assuming 30 samples delivered for the 1st batch, I would propose the following distribution:
- BkkCoins / burnin: 8 chips each
- marto74: 6
- allten: 4
- hata1234: 2
Two chips go to a developer who wants to remain private for now (he ordered enough chips in the 1st batch for 2 samples).
Maybe we could organize a combined supply, i.e. instead of both of us sending chips to burnin, you send 14 to burnin and I send 14 to BkkCoins. That saves us some shipping costs, on the other hand it reduces redundancy and increases risk of some developer's package getting lost and leaving him without any chips.
What do you guys (both owners and supporters) think?
DaGreatRV and daemondazz create a own design too, see my sig for a list of devs and assemblers. And some in my following list will create miners too that go open source when they work but they didnt open a own thread yet.
I asked the developers that are eligible for samples and they told me they need a maximum of these chips for testing:
20 burnin
17 BKKCoins
2 allten (he has a 1-chip miner only)
4 daemondazz
3 bcdev
2 marto74
11 flyonwall
2 szym00
4 innovina
4 hf_developer
4 evilscoop
8 sensei
2 DaGreatRV
2 villex
I have the sending addresses of all of them too if you want to know. And dont forget when sending the chips outside of swiss to add customs forms. For germany ill use CN22-Form. Its best for not getting problems at customs.
So it looks like marto74 and allten would be pleased with 2 chips only. 6 chips more to spread i believe.
Let me know if you change the spreading so i can fill up with the remaining chips. I would then fill up burnin to his 20, bkkcoins to his 17 and the remaining chips to the other devs as far as possible.
If the samples from the other batches arrive all devs will have enough anyway.
I think its a good idea to share the developers. A downside would only be when one set of sample chips arrive later or some other problems occur. I could take burnins part with 20 chips. 1 chip goes to a private person and 9 are remaining then with me. If you could provide BKKCoins 17 chips you have 11 remaining. marto74 2, allten 2, hata1234 2, leaves 5.
That would make such lists as a suggestion:
zefir 30 chips
2 private buyer
17 BKKCoins (full)
2 marto74 (full)
2 allten (full)
2 hata1234
5 that could be spread to others. Maybe:
1 DaGreatRV (other unique miner)
and 4 chips to others.
sebastianju 30 chips
1 private buyer
20 burnin (full)
9 that could be spread to others. For example:
1 damondazz
1 bcdev
1 flyonwall
1 szym00
1 innovina
1 hf_developer
1 evilscoop
1 sensei
1 villex
This way each dev could at least get 1 chip. And the ones that will be used most will have enough from the start.
Let me know what you will do.
