Is maybe not being clear. This is group by for BFL chips. Maybe when chips ordered boards being developed and chips can be using for board, but this is buying for chips only now.

This is more of a interest check. If a single chip USB stick would be designed and it would required you to use additional powersupply or plug one cable into a computer powersupply would you be interested in it?
It will be low propriety but it might be ready(if we have no problem with a big board) in the time chips are hire. It would still probably cost about 2+ BTC at current exchange rate. Might even be more expensive then 1 chip and normal board.

This group buy not seeming to go anywhere very fast. One chip USB plug in with power connector plugging in on side for wall pack power might be interesting - not useful plugging into computer supply if having male USB connector. Could theoretically running 40 Gh/s from ten port USB hub if similar (maybe bigger) like Block Erupter but heat being major problem. Would be more happy with smaller boards 4 chips not being USB but being stackable with holes in corners. Seeing second picture in this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171063021875?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648 |

Seeing second picture in this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171063021875?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648 I was looking all GB are going slow at the moment... I'm the only one who manage to sell any chips yesterday as far as I know... But I have interest for 80, 100 and 5 in a pipeline... 100 is a local order and they would like a meting whit me. Bad news is that my dother is sick so I can at the moment. But I will probably manage that in a next day or two. So if you are planing to order now would probably be a good time... The picture I see should work with current design. You will lost benefits of connecting them together and use single USB. But I will look into that. It might be done. |

Not problem running 10 of 4 or 6 chip boards having separate USB for 160-240 Gh/s using 10 port hub Also not problem if chaining boards with standard I2C connector like usually be doing. Would be happy with ANY board design really working. One chip, 4 chip, 6 chip, whatever any number chips. Just wanting in near future, not "maybe shipping September". Would even buying 12 more chips if putting order over limit. |

Just back from another design meeting... Our board designer is really doing grate. We are getting there... As long as we sell enough chips board testing shouldn't be that far off. But we need to sell them to get samples... If everything goes to plan I will be having some computer model pictures tomorrow.

Are you buying chip credits here as well? How much if so.

I'd DEFINITELY be interested in this. Even if you use an external (maybe fanless) PSU, you could easily have some adapter cables and spread the power to the single sticks. But 2 BTC seems to be a rather steep price. Interested still, but try to cut this down to 1 BTC. (Preferably less  ) Anyways, keep me (and the whole forum) updated on this. |
I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

I manage to secure 2 sample chips thanks to one4many. Many thanks
Also just orders all necessary hardware for programming boards. As soon as it arrives I will start experimenting with firmware on my Jalapeno... It should be similar enough for this to work... My plan is to add some overclocking possibility...

OK it was a crazy day at work... 15 hours... My boss is a slave driver but I shouldn't talk that way about him since it is me Sorry didn't had time for computer model pictures... Did my best to answer all PM questions and I'm sorry if I got fostered with anyone. But I will live you with some good news. This is a picture of the order that sample chip donor did.  So samples are on there way... Many thanks again one4many... Now I'm really sorry but it is time for slipping... |

But that isn't your group buy, right? You're still at 32?

Unfortunately no this is user who donated chips for board development... It looks like only US GB are going even if they say there will not be a board... I can't figure this one out since it is important to have board ready for chips asap. I should be getting together with some local buyers today but didn't get an answer from them jet when... EDIT: No just notice another SEPA. So 4 more... |

Not to put too much of a damper on this, but don't the BFL chips consume ~ 30 watts per chip? That's a lot more than you can supply via USB unless you are designing it with external power.

It is not 30 it is 12W... And yes external power Just back from another design meeting... Our board designer is really doing grate. We are getting there...

We have some delays in pictures. It seems that I passed my dother disease to our board designer... He promises that he will do the last changes as soon as he fills batter and sends me pictures of it. |
