Bitfury chip sales are not in the pipeline. Chips are designated for sale only to Metabank and 100TH as far as we know.
Do you guys know about this: http://www.bitfurystrikesback.com/shop/Is that legit? Bitfury posted that link on Russian forums, so seems pretty legit. So chips ARE for sale to the general public. Man, it's about to get crazy difficult to find a block.

Man, it's about to get crazy difficult to find a block. At 80 euro/chip, I don't see them flying off the shelves. Would be interesting to see if 1000 euro boards sell, as they seem like the "sweet spot" in terms of risk/reward/ease of use/time to market of their products.

For raspi owners, please try my modification of cgminer: https://github.com/legkodymov/cgminerI compile it with: ./autogen.sh --enable-bitfury --disable-opencl --without-curses make It can be executed with similar command: sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u legkodymov.worker1 -p YeDRuvbg --debug Miner is based on Bitfury's spitest code. Oscillator and SPI freq are hard coded. Please, post results back!

Upcoming tests will include use of an external clock and chaining of boards.
That`s that I want to do at first time but still wait any news about chip samples program from tytus. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) I`ll be wait your new blog post with test results.

We're still waiting on our heatsinks (had to get a custom sink since the SMA connectors poke out the bottom of the board a bit, couldn't just toss it ontop of any 'ole sink). Nigel also didn't have a FLIR camera at that location to be sure the chip didn't over heat while running without a heatsink. He was playing it safe. We should have more information soon. The clock of the chip is determined by the clock setting and what the chip is capable of running at on a specific voltage. We have a break down of a previous test at the bottom of the following URL. All of those tests were conducted with no heat sink. https://bitcentury.io/blog/initial-testing-of-bitfury-asic

No idea, you'll need to ask whoever designed it. We're just an alpha tester and not directly related to any of the current distributors or suppliers of the H-Board.

Nice, thanks for the link, running of a Pi is a good idea too.

Made a few changes to Legkodymov's fork to provide initial support for multiple chips / chaining. My fork is located at: https://github.com/OrphanedGland/cgminer. It looks like I will need to maintain work/owork for each chip in driver-bitfury.c, which is not done yet. Assistance is welcomed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Nigel / BitCentury

punin do you have any information when you will be able to send chips to the testers that have not received chips yet.
