RagingAzn how do you plan to allow us to weigh in on sample chip distribution?  Samples should ship in 1-2 weeks.

was wondering this as well

I'm reviewing the newest "Klondike" PCB schematics from BkkCoins today. He has agreed to let us license the boards for $2-3 per board, I'm guessing $2 for the 16-chip boards and $3 for the 64-chip boards would be fair, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a tip also for his hard work on designing these new PCBs.

I'll be ordering a couple 16-chip boards and a 64-chip board for my own needs from an assembler in California, getting them ready before the chips arrive. If you guys are interested, I can start a group thread for PCBs from the California assembler.

I hope RagingAzn can chime in here also. It would be great to get some of our "sample" chips onto a test board as soon as they arrive in the States. Cheers, all.

Interested.

Also interested: potentially 4x 64 chip boards.

What's the pricing like? There's already an Oregon-based effort going on here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203388.0

Looking at (conservative)
Projected K16 price: ~$93
Projected K64 price: ~$372

If you can significantly beat those prices, I'd be very interested.

Who should I talk to about getting the spreadsheet changed/my name put on it?

I'd also like to get my name put on the chips i bought from atcsecure and dserrano5

I thought the 64 chip boards were just 4x of the 16 chip boards pushed together?

They're 4 16 chip boards, printed on the same piece of FR4. So yes and no.

I would also like my name added by replacing rallye's since I bought all them from him.

   I'm still waiting for BkkCoins to release schematics and board files for the K16 and K64, I can't really do a logic-level review of the Klondike from what is up at github so far. I'd be wary of buying the Klondike board until there are some running prototypes or until the schematics are open-sourced and reviewed. I hope that BkkCoins decides to completely open-source his Klondike files, or possibly at least share that stuff with some of us who are arranging group-buys and have promised to pay the licensing fees.

Cheers, all

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177827.msg2278718#msg2278718 <--- Can we get an update like this OP?

BKKCoins clearly stated it will be open source and has done so a number of times on his own schedule and not before he has tested the design out.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.msg2242265#msg2242265

Not to be too impatient but no response on this yet. I sent a PM to both raging and John with no response and I'm not one to spam their inboxes.

Can I at least get a quick one line post in the thread confirming that I wont get lost in the paperwork even if the spreadsheet isn't updated? Something?

If btc is the issue I am happy to pay to get this all squared away...but I'm not just going to blindly start tipping when this is the only experience I've had with either of you and I can't get a response anywhere.

PS: As I said above, only ragingazn controls the updated spreadsheet now. I think I've replied to you regarding this, right?

Da Bump... when you get time please let us know about the developer chips coming early June.

Confirmed

Open source usually means you make all the files in a project open for public viewing, in this case BkkCoins is keeping much of the project to himself and he's asking for licensing fees... Anyhow, if he's not releasing designs until it is "tested", that could be months from now.
