[BFL-Chip Groupbuy] $27,5/chip 50% - BTC,PayPal,SEPA - 420 sold, 0/100 batch #4

[dwdoc]

I can give you theoretical dates or you can calculate them(first post have dates). I plan to ask at 90 days to go and give 8 days. But I would wait fir first delivers. So I we will see if BFL is delivering on time.

Edit:
Chips in batch 3: 14th August  ----> 12th November ----> 22th November
Chips in batch 2: 17th July ----> 15th October ----> 25th October
Chips in batch 1: 3rd and 4th July ----> 1th October ----> 11th October

I have an early 6/11/13 bulk chip order so I will let you know as soon as BFL asks for the balance and ships the order. Might be as early as 9/19/12 but I am not holding my breath...

I do have an estimated price of what it will cost the end consumer to buy the boards and have them mounted. Form has written instructions for the pick and place machine to build 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 chip versions of this board, so all will be available however the price will not be much different if any.

Also we will offer DIY kits, as well as chip mounting services at our facility.

We will release an official price after I get a chance to talk to form and lucko about it. We usually meet once a day but thats about it because of time zone difference.

Web site still has to be completed in order to take orders, this will be completed by the time we have tested the boards. Payments for North American orders will be in Bitcoin only. Form and Lucko may accept other payment methods however that is up to them, and has yet to be determined.

I will post more info as soon as its available.

So if we supply you with the chips we might be able to buy a board that has 16 chips installed for $500. Is that correct?

I'm sure that will be possible... We plan to do it that way...

Hi Lucko
I have just been looking at power costs in different countries.

In one of your early posts you had some ideas on hosting.
Is it possible now that we are approaching the big day, if you could fill out some detail on this option?

[Lucko]

See firs post:

Hosting:
Possible but not required
For now limited up to 20KW
Cost of electricity 0.12€/KWh paid in BTC
Management fees 2% or 0.005 BTC/chip after expenses are deducted.(expenses include but are not limited too, hosting, repairs, electricity)
Unites can be send at later date to buyer
Prices are subject to change (up or down) after 12 months or in case of a big change of value of BTC (50%)

Hosting could be worth considering if the VAT for sales was to high.
 It will need some study when all the "group buy" costs are confirmed.

Still 0/100. Maybe soon I will try to take 100 chips alone...

Group Buy seemed to stall when BFL announced the Monarch card.

Yes it looks like there is no more interest. But I didn't close this just so you can use this for chip exchange...

Hi

I'm looking for 4 chips in batch 1 or batch 2,  to make up a full board.

Does anyone have some for sale?

Hello,

I am happy to report that our first batch of Cointamination Production PCB's have arrived!







I will be fedex'ing to form some boards and cooling parts tomorrow to form as well as some sample chips.

btw: we could still use some sample chip donations if anyone has them.

However either way we should know very soon if this production board will work the way we expect it to and will take orders soon after that.

thank you to everyone who has helped to support this project.

I have 16 chip credits that I want to redeem/transfer
Ca we start the next batch?

[JerimiahJohnson]

hi
sorry about the confusion, between my incredibly busy life and the huge time zone difference between myself and lucko, and form we have some mis-communication.

Please dont buy anything from the website until weve tested this board thoroughly.

We will have prices and everything else worked out by the time the board is tested.

thank you for being patient and sorry for confusing you - I was excited to finally get the PCBs in though

Hell yes!  Still on track to have custom BFL hardware before my actual BFL order.  Oh the humanity!

Yes it is open so if you are sure about that you can order. But you need to know it is really late in the game. I would recommend to forget about credits and buy chips from someone who is selling them. You will get more from chips the you will lost with credits...

He might still have them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238052.msg3007363#msg3007363

Or look for chip seals in this GB and other GBs...
