All purchases received, replied, recorded.
The OP now includes updated information. I will be taking a few hours off tonight to decompress and recharge. I will return for a short time later tonight to answer any questions, record orders.
Which part was updated today? And the date didn't change...

This, I believe: Chip purchase: BTC.086 per chip PCB and components: $35 per 16 chip board Assembly: $60 per 16 chip board Testing: Price TBD. Testing will be available, with pricing determined once the procedure has been finalized. Hosting: 8% flat fee based on miner production, plus electricity.

PCB and components: $35 + Assembly: $60 = $95. How do we pay for this? USD direct to assembler or play the BTC to USD game and hope for an 'up value BTC' day?
If steamboat is willing to convert BTC to USD that would be great, BUT I question the amount of 'lube' that will be needed when the IRS takes him in the 'back room'. Anyone have ideas on how to do this 'smoothly' ?

Well it would be nice if the board developers will accept BTC as payment. But we'll have to wait and see won't we?

I'd be very surprised if the Assembly folks accepted btc. Guessing steamboat already has an idea of how he'll be collecting payment from us.

Hey steamboat,
i'm considering 'doubling down' on my order.
1st order was batch 2.
2nd order may be batch 3.
Just wanted to know an estimated time in weeks between completed boards from batch 2 and completed boards from batch 3.
I would likely go ahead with another 12 boards if it looks like being a shortish period of time.
Thanks
Adam

Someone mentioned 9-10 weeks from the day of order iirc? Maybe 1-2 weeks apart if that is correct.

I sent 22.016 bitcoin, 256 * 0.086, for 256 chips. I do not know how to force them to come from any one address though, I thought in general the daemon just picks random coins from the wallet, regardless of what address those coins happen to be "in" ?
{ "account" : "", "address" : "1JWBFSmxeAMxK8W2GdpBPMKgc3z71yVkFa", "category" : "send", "amount" : -22.01600000, "fee" : 0.00000000, "confirmations" : 2, "blockhash" : "00000000000000abe85a7cda4a278e62a9b501950266e22297c7005d1720e335", "blockindex" : 8, "blocktime" : 1369370477, "txid" : "6af8b013c06a552b453156d0dbe61475de5f7405dd8c7708bea650a1a96a5942", "time" : 1369370438, "timereceived" : 1369370438 }
EDIT: Using blockchain.info, it looks as if maybe the three addresses it sent from were 18zQ3hh2HakeBCbmW7SRPYD1ScURycpx3a, 1GumnfaYT9bn7EmFodZqg4f5JVF8UB3D4e and 1L5P6D8hNuXmdmgx6s6u39phT2sMMNArfZ

The address shouldn't matter, just send the transaction id. If someone else claims that they sent the coins instead of you, you could sign a message from any of the addresses.

Thanks. I listed all three addresses in the email, plus anyway the ship-to address is the same one WHOIS shows for my domains knotwork.com and knotwork.net and anyone trying to change the shipping address would need the keys to one of those addresses so it should be safe enough. -MarkM-

I just used an existing address that I could sign from instead of the "sending address" off blockchain.info. Technically, a Bitcoin transaction doesn't really have a sending address. It's just easier to understand it that way.

Payment sent for 245 chips. 21.07BTC Still not sure about what other services I want. How long do I have to make that decision? Boards, assembly and paying shipping? What method is to be used for payment of shipping?

Board assembly will be offered. Prices tentatively set at below $60.00.
Just to clarify- Does this cover the cost of everything besides the chips to have a functioning board? If so that is great news. I was budgeting closer to $100 per board, looks like I'll be buying more chips... Earlier he said it wouldn't cover hardware, like fan, standoff, psu. Cp1 is correct. This only covers the PCB, components (other than the ASICs), and assembly. Additionally, these chips will be processed in a FIFO cue, which will begin once the minimum board run quota has been reached.
Strongly considering sending you chips from other group buys, are you able to specify the minimum board run quota? Currently it is 400 boards, pending confirmation with the assembly house. Which part was updated today?
This, I believe: Chip purchase: BTC.086 per chip PCB and components: $35 per 16 chip board Assembly: $60 per 16 chip board Testing: Price TBD. Testing will be available, with pricing determined once the procedure has been finalized. Hosting: 8% flat fee based on miner production, plus electricity. Correct, among other things. The date has been fixed. Apologies. PCB and components: $35 + Assembly: $60 = $95. How do we pay for this? USD direct to assembler or play the BTC to USD game and hope for an 'up value BTC' day?
If steamboat is willing to convert BTC to USD that would be great, BUT I question the amount of 'lube' that will be needed when the IRS takes him in the 'back room'. Anyone have ideas on how to do this 'smoothly' ?
This is something I have been working on, and one of the reasons payment is not an option at this time. I should have more information in the coming week. As a person, my position is extremely bullish, and I believe the price will go up, resulting in cheaper boards if kept in BTC. As a business, I have to do what's most responsible and mitigate the risk of BTC dropping in value and being left with the bill. Once I have ironed out the payment details, I will let you know.

10 days between batches 1 and 2, 11 days between 2 and 3. I just used an existing address that I could sign from instead of the "sending address" off blockchain.info. Technically, a Bitcoin transaction doesn't really have a sending address. It's just easier to understand it that way.
Please do not do this. The sending address from the TX is what is used to verify the signature. All purchases received, recorded, replied. Batch 3 about finished, and a couple large investors have shown interest in the next batch.

There is still time. An announcement will be made regarding that information with plenty of time to make a decision.
