If they fall in the $40-50 range with chips than I'll be in for 10

How difficult would it be to attach the Avalon chip yourself -- I assume it's BGA?

It's a QFN 48 pkg. Do a search on Youtube "solder qfn" and you'll see some demos to help you decide. With some skills it's not hard but you need the right tools - ideally an SMD rework station. There is a large thermal pad on the bottom and this has to be soldered without too much that it floats it up off the board. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Qt5CtUlqYYou'd want to practice on low cost chips. |

Way too early to tell, almost certainly under 1 btc. How much under, well, time will tell. |

1 BTC would be too high. The Bulgarians offered the K1 @ 10 EUR + Chip (around 0.08 BTC) and the K16 @ 31 EUR + Chips (16x0.08 BTC).

This is retail pricing with chip included, ready to go.
All i'm saying is that it will be less than 1 btc, but like I said, can't be sure now on anything more specific than that.

Do you have an estimate on when you expect to be able to ship? |

1.4btc = $180 for k1? no thanks
Board + Chip + Production costs no more $ 50
Up to $ 100 ok, above this value, not worth it.

This is why I didn't want to say a price I said UNDER 1 btc. (which means it could be anywhere from 0.01 to 0.99) This includes everything assembled with the chip. |

I was gonna put a disclaimer for that. but i thought my weasel word of "almost' would cover me. I'll be more clear. at the current Bitcoin price (~$130), it will be under 1 btc. If bitcoin doubles, it'll be under 0.5, if it halves, under 2...
As of right now I am 99% sure it will cost less than $120 dollars (and most likely a good amount less than that) but I have NO IDEA what parts and labor cost yet. the only expense I have right now is the 592 chips I bought with ragingazn628

A could also offer a full product, but I would have to buy the Avalon chips with real $$ and pass on the cost. If paid with BTC, then I could also purchase them. But I won't have them in stock. I spent all my bitcoins on BFL miners that I'm still waiting for plus some Avalon chips for klondikes I'm building for myself. |
