i would laugh so loud if BFL will deliver chips on time and go over avalon  I am guessing they will start with 1 month delay, then 2 week delays, with 2 week intervals  Today, BFL doesnt seem to be able to produce chips fast enough for their own devices. I feel it may be a miracle if they can ship the chips in time. But, if they can ship, then chip projects would produce products quicker than BFL and that may anger their pre-order customers... |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

What makes you think that "BFL (hence Globalfoundries) doesn't seem to be able to produce chips fast enough for their own devices?" I am under the impression that delays there are due to other part supply and assembly issues. |

Sorry for this mini threadjack, but is there anyone still buying BFL chip credits? I'm trying to get rid of mine for 0.00625 BTC each. Send me a PM so it doesn't interrupt the thread.

a) this really isn't the place for this and b) the going rate is much much less than that... EDIT: Unless I misread that, and it was supposed to imply that you're selling multiple credits for ~$10, in which case that's about right if the number is >4 |

It's more of a delay than that - BFL is quoting 100 days from order date to delivery. In BFL time units, that's around February 2014. |

Another quick update. I've made some good progress on the DC/DC converter, I think most of the issues are now resolved. I'm now going to start tweaking the control loop and doing some load and transient tests at which point I can finish that part of the circuit for the final design. Meanwhile, work on the firmware continues.

So you stopped burning 7805s now? Awesome  (Just kidding, translation for the non-geek, 7805 is a linear power regulator that you'd never use i) Since 1990*, ii)for anything more than an amp iii) if you cared about conversion efficiency .... *okay, they're maybe still handy when you just want something quick and dirty.) |

Time to market is everything IMO. Why do an 8 chip board instead of getting this 4 chip design production-worthy? Seems to me that the 4 chip board that you already have would be production worthy sooner.

What's the rush? Chips won't be delivered until late September at the earliest.
I am a cheerleader for Lucko, MrTeal and chris99. Would be nice to have more than one option for BFL chip boards if possible...

I must say that MrTeal is really nice... He was ready to send us chips to help when it looked like ours are stuck in US... But it was only tracking... Received my today and say thanks to him just to find out he had things ready to send me samples...

in case of board project on BFL-forum i would be less enthusiastic until they post some actual photos of the board. and some more trustful info maybe. strange is the sequence of the latest posts and explanations about BFL-logos on the posted photos there... after getting PCBs from manufacturer?  so, no comment for now except of this one... |

Yes. Chris99 says those are modified jalapeno boards for testing with their 8 chip board design pics pending next week. It would be nice if he, MrTeal and Lucko all had working boards we could choose from. Also, Lucko is offering a hosting service which is a nice option...
