I would guess that means Great Britain Pounds Don't know where did you get that but if it is of eBay then yes... But don't buy over eBay you will need to pay much more... There are hints that this is not recommended in text... But if you would like to buy and pay all eBay and Paypal fees it is possible... Boards... How about some pictures of the board/facility, too? You've been promising that for a while....
Board facility is outsourced as already written... Company that I'm working with can produce in house only simple boards having machine that can produce complicated boards is a waist of money if you don't have them working at lest 8 hours a day... Boards are a different story. I would love to post a picture... But I don have a file and even if I had it I don't have Altium Designer... So I can't open it. And unfortunately also last changes were not put in jet since board desiner got the sick. Last time we spoke he had 39 degrees fewer... He cough a bug from my dother that was sick. She just started with daycare and everyone who has kids know that first 2 mouths the child is constantly ill. I can't find the name of the disease in English that he cough but if I translate it direct it is cold 6th child disease... I know but it is really called that. We have 5th and 6th child diseases... They didn't bother to find the name... Yes I promise very soon... EDIT: If you are asking yourself what am I doing then. Firmware... I'm modifying BFL firmware to make it overclocekble... I'm not planing to change much more then that... But this selling has taken a lot of my time so I hardly started... |

Today my yesterday decision looks weary good  What a crazy dumps... OK back from work. I have another potential local buyer... If you want to go with the second batch, I can Paypal you whatever you need for the balance of the chips (and credits). Or if you just want to wait to see if someone else joins in, that's fine too. Let me know. It would have to be PayPal, I ran out of BTC for the time being - cash I have lots of, BTC not so much until the end of next week.
I just notice this. Yes I can probably do it faster but not much. Bitstampe is local so I can do it sometimes in less then a day. And Paypal takes about 3 days to see founds in you account... But I'm limited in amount I can take out... |

Yes. Yesterday board designer returned to work... I left him some time to catch up on all his work related things and we did speak today and he promised that he will start tomorrow on the board again... So I guess pictures should be close... |

Don't forget that you don't automatically get sample chips. Josh left a message on one of the threads mentioning that you have to place a (free) follow up order for sample chips separately after placing a chip order.

Put me down for 8 chips I am just waiting to hear back from Lucko about 6 chip credits (which I may have taken care of myself) and how to pay for the first 50% via paypal. If paypal isn't preferred I can always get coins from Coinbase but I will have to wait 4-5 days for them. edit: I was just reading that there are paypal issues so let me know if another method would be preferred. Like I said above I can always use Coinbase. |

Yes I know. I'm looking on a way to get replay confirming samples... And you need to contact sells as far as I understood this MSG...  If anyone know any direct phone number that would help... EDIT: I don't see any option of a follow-up order... |

Don't worry I will include you in this batch... Paypal has now some additional fees since I need to get money off it and change it to BTC but you can use it... |

If anyone is interested... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197675.0It looks like we are on the right track... More power and 8 chips But it looks like we will need to add more capacitors... Hm... maybe not even that much more power just more capacitors... Need to find a better picture... |

Okay thanks if there are any additional fees for using paypal just let me know and I will include them in the payment. I put a bid in for some credits on bitmit but we will see. Just send me a pm and let me know how and where to send you the first payment, if we can't find any chip credits then I'll owe you a little more money. I'm willing to buy 8, it still saves me some money, if that happens I'll just give the extra 2 to you. |

KISS (keep it simple stupid) If we had time I would do 16 chips but we have 100 days. It would be grate if the first board would work. So that why we are doing it simple. BFL board and adding power on it. If there will be a better board out there will be used but for now we are going this way. If you look at the long board(BFL single)  and Jalapeno that BFL realised...  You see that you have more or less the same components but more capacitors... On our board we have planed 8 but I think we need to change that to 10 or more seeing this... It looks like power usage spikes a lot... |

Anthony is not longer with us, which is why the sample chips have languished. I just corrected this problem today and we have a new person on it... he should be getting the sample chips taken care of over the next couple days.

Sorry what? You probably misunderstand that. It will be close but not 100% same... Why. We need board done in 100 days with who know how long without sample chips. Not a lot time to experiment... KISS Pictures are there just to show that we are probably going the right direction... This is not the board EDIT: Sorry... misread what you wrote... Just coping a board will not do. From what I read even with 2 chips and firmware 1.2.5 and some "overclocking" some have overheating issues on 1V power supply... We also plan to add basic overclocking and overvolting in... EDIT2: This overheating is more or less on older models of board but still... New models(one that was released) should support 4 chips, even 6 if there is no issues with them spiking power usage... |

Awesome work - will watch you! Our group bought too 128 chips and we will forward them to you if your project will be successfull. Maybe when you will make a final board in this time frame, you can send BFL a working one  Will you accept too PCB & assembling orders outside your chip groupbuy? |
