[UPDATE] BFL ASIC Chips $59/chip. Batch 1 purchased July 3rd.

[CrazyGuy]

Update 09-23-2013 - Prepare for second half of payment and make decision on mounting Please start gathering funds for the second half of your payment. I expect BFL will be asking for payment shortly. Also, I will be sending my chips to Mr Teal for board mounting. Please let me know if you would like me to include your chips in the order.
Update 07-13-2013 - SOLD OUT Thanks for all that participated, batch 2 is now open
Update 07-12-2013 - Fire Sale!! Cash buy dropped out and 20 chips have become available. Closing batch 1 at 9 PM CST
Update 07-03-2013 - Batch #1 order placed on July 3rd. There are 24 chips still available from batch 1. $59 price is valid on remaining chips until Batch #2 is opened next week.

I will be using my chip credits to facilitate a 100 chip group buy of BFL ASIC chips at a discounted price of $59 per chip. I will be doing 2 batches if there is significant interest. You are not required to provide any chip credits for this price. Price includes shipping to continental US.

Original Price:
per chip total
per chip up front

This batch is closed, but there are still 4 chips available. I'm willing to sell them for $62 each at this point:

If you are looking for a better price, batch 2 is now open

Current price for remainder of batch 1

djjacket - 8 chips

Batch #2 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255403

Payment:
Users will be expected to pay 50% up front per bfl purchase requirements. Payment amount should be determined by buyer, using mtgox weighted average or ticker in thread. At the time of purchase, I will re-evaulute price based on BTC conversion rate and refund or request more money, dependent on where the conversion rate stands.

The Second half will be required before shipment. To avoid shipping delays for all buyers, the second payment will be required within 12 hours of request. Inability to pay second half will result in forfeit of chips ordered.

Please contact me before sending payment. Also, any payments made should be made from an address you own(not mtgox etc...) This will prevent any complication in returning payments.

More Details
- I will not be mounting the chips or providing a PCB. You will be receiving the bare ASIC chips.
- Minimum order of 5 chips.
- Price includes priority shipping to USA. Please contact for shipping rates outside of US.

I'll kick it off by purchasing the first 20 of batch 1 myself. 80 chips available.

Interested but I would like more info.

1. where are you from
2. shipping to EU, Slovenia
3. do you take BTL cupones(I have 12). If so how much is half?
4. any idea how many chips will be per PCB?
5. is 65$ biased on you having a lot of cupones or did you get discaunt?
6. since price is in $ not in BTC do you take Paypal?

1. US
2. Shipping will be extra if outside of US
3. I already have the coupons.
4. 16 per single PCB if going with BFL spec board
5. yes
6. Payment will be taken in BTC with value based on conversion rate.

16 per bfl pcb each chip is rated at 4gh right?

Is there a  way I can use my own coupons?

Price lowered to $62 a chip, let's get the ball rolling here.

What about for those of us with chip vouchers? How would that work?

No need to send them in to me, I've got you covered. If you do want to send your vouchers, I'll bring the price down to 59.50 per chip.

Price lowered to $59/chip, including shipping. 50% upfront.

4. 16 per single PCB if going with BFL spec board

The BFL spec board that was released was can only support 2 chips reliably, otherwise BFL wouldn't have needed to design the "longboard."  With some power changes (better mosfets), it could probably do up to 8 chips.  Cooling the chips isn't really a big issue (use a waterblock CPU cooler), but you need to make sure the design doesn't cause  other parts of the board to overheat and catch on fire.

TLDR; There's a bunch of engineering work that still needs to happen before a community BFL board becomes a reality.

You are right, I didn't realize they haven't/won't release longboard specs. Hopefully someone is able to design a functional pcb before the chip orders start arriving. Regardless, this group buy is for the chips only.

24 more sold, 51 left

[CrazyGuy]

20 more from local buyer. We're getting close..

[CrazyGuy]

Bump. I will be placing the order early next week.

[jelin1984]

These Monday will sent the btc for 3 chips

[FatMagic]

Hey Crazy -

I'd like to reserve 2 chips if possible. I will have the BTC in about a week's time or sooner (mining it).

I have two coupon codes also from BFL, if those will help discount the price at all. If not I'll just sell my coupon codes on BitMit.

I'm good on my word. But if you can't reserve the chips and wait for me to send the BTC for 2 chips, that is fine - I understand.

Let me know. Thanks.

I'm really trying to keep the minimum order at 5 chips but we have 31 left so I'll allow orders smaller than 5 but you will have to pay shipping. I'll be placing the order within the next few days regardless of if all spots are filled. I will leave the 31 remaining chips up for sale at that point but I will probably raise the price as we get closer to shipping.
