Yeah, it looks like I'll be offering the Nano as well. There's been enough interest. I've started looking for quotes on it.

I'd be interested in 3 of the K16 boards... and possibly some of the K1s ( depending on how many chips get damaged  ) |

A new quote just came in from a plant in Washington. They're offering assembly for $45.33 on batch sizes of 128 with 3 to 5 day turnaround. They gave the quote based on a previous revision, which was a bit simpler, so I expect the final price to bump up a little, but that's still a bit better than what Colin was offering for that same revision. (Though the batch size of 128 means I'd need to wait until I have enough chips in hand to create 128 miners at minimum, whereas Colin was willing to work with batch sizes as small as 10. Still, the proximity means in-person pickup would be pretty easy and fast compared to how it would be with Colin.)
I'm still considering looking at prices for renting my own equipment, but that's honestly a route I'd like to avoid if possible since I feel I'm much more likely to mess up people's miners than a plant that specializes in assembly is.
With the new quote, that brings the back-of-the-envelope estimated cost per K16 miner to $89. Since the K64 is just four K16s on a single PCB, I think $356 is probably a safe bet on the K64 miner cost, though (as with everything in this thread so far) that's still pretty tentative and assumes we run the K64s in batches of 128. (Probably not a very safe assumption, honestly. I'll get more accurate quotes once Gerbers and a BOM for the K64 has been released.)
I didn't request a quote from them on the K1 (I sent the RFQ before we'd decided to move forward on the K1s) but I'll request one now.
Still waiting on a quote from the plant in Corvallis and a plant in Tigard that was recommended to me yesterday.

Can do. At this point, I suppose I'm fine with you putting the currently projected prices in with a "(tentative)" after them. The price can still change since the design isn't finalized, but I think we're now in a reasonable ballpark of what it'll end up being. |

I think i will put a notice that all prices of the offers are tentative because no one really exactly knows whats the endprice. |

~270-300$ per K16 Sounds pretty boss considering how fast we will get the units compared to BFL's speedy production.
Considering how simple K1's seem to be, It's going to be pretty easy to push those little suckers out for around 20-40$ depending on who you go with.

First.
Would like to thank everyone for the effort to get this going. Thank you.
Second.
Would like to get in on this...I have chips coming from zefir. When the time is appropriate let me know who to send the chips to.

Could I get some clarification on who I should be sending my chips too from zefir? He has a request to post what developer you are supporting..is this supporting BBKCoins or ryepdx? I want to eliminate any potential confusion before it happens.  Where should I tell zefir to ship? |

You'd be sending them to me.
Btw, does anyone know how these chips are going to be packaged? I'd assume reels of 10,000, but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere.

Meh. The plant messed up their quote and forgot to include the price of stencils. At 100 K16 miners, that brings the price up by about $4 to $49 for assembly. It'll take 256 K16s to get to $45 per miner for assembly. At the moment, that brings the price up to $93 per miner.
Also, it occurs to me that we haven't discussed heatsinks. I imagine you might want those included with the miners, right? I'll start looking at prices in order to get a ballpark figure, but from what I've seen on the Klondike thread, I expect that to kick the price up by $3 to $5.

I'm interested in 10-15 K16s (depending on number of chips I end up with) and a handful of K1's for leftover chips.
I'm east coast US and this looks to be a reasonable option for boards... pricing looks great so far!

I would be interested with 3 K64 if the price and turnaround time are feasible. However that would leave me with 8 chips left. I have an order with zefir for batch 5 and 7. I'll be checking this thread regularly.

Okay, let's do this. I'm in for 128 chips, either 2x 64 or 8x 16 depending on what ends up cheaper.
How much time do you think in-person pickup would save? Kind of a drive from San Jose.
Drop me a line if you want a second pair of eyes before you put in an order for parts.
