One of the qualities I look for in an escrow is the ability to convincingly pull off referring to themselves in the third person.  |
Bitcoin is backed by the full faith and credit of YouTube comments.

Like get 3*100 discount coupons and get 100 chips for free? :-D I think that question does not need to be answered. |

In Josh's post on the the bfl forum he mentions $75 per chip. So have chip prices been reduced already?

*Note - I don't want to hear how this is a stupid purchase.
Man, that was a stupid purchase!  Nah, just kidding (you were asking for it  ) There is often a very fine line between stupid and brave Agreed! Hopefully I'm the latter and not the former. And I was asking for it. |

IF,BFL states in WRITING the chips will be delivered by such & such a date & IF you guys can get a working board,I will be in with my measly 16 chip credit  We need to see this documentation though,or at least a promise from the group buyer in some way.............Either way,I'm not going to wait another year for them to get the ball rolling |

As long as there is proof of board development, and assembly capacity (I would pay an extra fee for someone to assemble and test), I would gladly add atleast 300-400 chips to the group buy.

What does FPGA firmware/bitstream have to do with ASIC? Presumably this is the firmware that runs on the micros in BFL units. As Luke-Jr states, it's for BitForce SC (ASIC), not FPGA. |

FWIW I've paid for an order of chips and have requested developer chips and reference docs. When I get those I will post the docs here and then send the chips to whichever dev's have the community's support and can put the time into actually producing an actual working board.
*Note - I don't want to hear how this is a stupid purchase. I've done my risk assessment and think this is a good commercial opportunity. If you disagree with that then please keep it to yourself.
flowdab, you took quite a risk, but it could pay off.
Until developers have sample chips/documentation and are sure they can design a working board (or at least one of the lead developers is) it's too risky for the majority of potential group buyers (including myself).
We'll see pretty soon whether BFL is really willing to deliver sample chips/docs or it was just marketing move to sell as much useless chips as possible. Speaking of useless chips..........
I am worried that BFL is going to send us the defunct lot they are using right now instead of the brand new lot that will be baked at the Fab. I don't want yesterdays revision that has caused so many problems (let them deal with those). I want the latest revision fresh from the Fab.
......
Could you get in contact with BFL and clarify this point?
Although we should be able to find out what revision and quality the chips are during random hash test (prior to escrow release), this is still a very important matter to look into. Thank you for pointing this out. Let you know as soon as there is some reply from BFL.Credit program will be incorporated into the group buy?
I didn't discuss credit program options with Josh yet, but it should be incorporated. I see no obstacles there.
Thank you for the support guys. Stay tuned. |

What are we still waiting for? I think that we have all we need. Well only chips are not with developers jet. All else has been meet... So could you open GB?
EDIT: Unless we have some guarantees that we will receive them first... Time is BTC
