Out of the 3 or 4 that I'll be putting together some will be going to the various miner software developers (e.g. one will be going to Luke-Jr so that he can start integrating support into his bfgminer, etc).
FWIW, I can confirm receipt of this. I plan to include NanoFury support in BFGMiner 3.4 at the latest.
Code:
woo. let us hear what hash rate you get out of it luke ^_^

also are these gunna be software overclockable with a bfgminer arg like --bitfury-osc6-bits NN

I missed out on the group buy, I didn't see the thread in time. Will there be another? I just need one unit for a project.

Hi erk,

we've ordered some extra devices (to have spares in case of defective ones) and I'm pretty sure we would be able to send you one.

Place an order following the instructions in the opening post please - pick your shipping preferences and add that to the device' price of 0.53BTC. Don't forget to sign the message.

Also - we've been having problems with email clients adding/removing a space here and there (thus ruining the signature) so just in case sign also just the transaction ID (and don't add any text like "Transaction ID" etc.)

Thanks for that, much appreciated, payment has been sent. If the email doesn't verify let me know and I will send it from a console text email program that doesn't add stuff like the GUI ones do.

As for pictures - Marto74 will likely have the final devices within the next days to a week and we'll post some pictures of them as soon as they're ready.

In the mean time I've been experimenting with the engineering samples - I had one of them running with BitMinter for several days and one on Slush. At the moment using 54 bits produces a pretty stable 2.2-2.3GH output.

Some observations - at 54bits speed it is actually consuming a bit more than 2.5W - about 600-650mA which is roughly 3-3.2W and to my surprise all computers that I've tested so far let the device run (and it didn't trigger the over-current protection). So you might be able to actually "overclock" them by just setting a higher speed multiplier. You should keep in mind that the board will run quite hot - I've been checking with an infrared thermometer and the ones I've tested report 80-87C with just passive cooling (no fan).
You can also overclock them additionally by tweaking the voltage (e.g. doing the "pencil mod") and this will very likely yield 2.5-2.7GH easily. Boards will definitely be very hot though - you'll need to consider better cooling in that case.

Using 51 bits makes it consume just a tad over 500mA and that results in about 1.8-1.85 GH/s (in case you got a very restrictive USB2.0 board).

Below is the BitMinter data with the 54-bit speed I've been running over the last week or so (I used Excel and added the extra 2 columns at the end):

Hello,

I might be able to get you one or two the most, but no promises. We ordered some extra ones to have spares (to replace defective ones) but it would all depend on how it goes.

As for ordering - follow the same instructions as from a few posts ago:

Place an order following the instructions in the opening post please - pick your shipping preferences and add that to the device' price of 0.53BTC. Don't forget to sign the message.

Also - we've been having problems with email clients adding/removing a space here and there (thus ruining the signature) so just in case sign also just the transaction ID (and don't add any text like "Transaction ID" etc.).
Send an email and also just in case send me a copy of the signed stuff in a PM.

Any delivery / assembly / shipping updates Vs3?

Nothing much newer than what I wrote yesterday.

Marto74 got the PCBs and everything has been sent to the assembly factory.
Marto mentioned the other day that if everything goes as planned we should have the first devices on Friday or early next week and hopefully all devices at some point next week. As soon as the first devices are in he'll be doing some extra testing on them to make sure everything is good so in case if it isn't we can fix it before all devices are assembled. (and so that we can catch things like let's say some component is flipped like the LED on one of my previous project, etc).

I guess until that happens there isn't going to be anything to report. Probably the next significant news update will be in the beginning of next week.

I would love to buy a couple of these units, are they cheaper if they are not put together?
I normally do not use a Bitcoin wallet, I used Coinbase and Mt.gox, is there away I can get in on the buy?

Note the hashrate there is overclocked. It overheated not long after I posted the screen.
To meet USB 2 specs, it'll probably be closer to the 2 Gh/s advertised.

how bad of an overheat? and powered hub or host port?  could an active usb fan help?

Note the hashrate there is overclocked. It overheated not long after I posted the screen.
To meet USB 2 specs, it'll probably be closer to the 2 Gh/s advertised.
how bad of an overheat? and powered hub or host port?  could an active usb fan help?
Even running at spec, these things get pretty hot.
This was on a powered USB 3 hub, with no cooling.

A small fan would certainly help. That's my observations (from a few posts above) :

You should keep in mind that the board will run quite hot - I've been checking with an infrared thermometer and the ones I've tested report 80-87C with just passive cooling (no fan).

Note that going way over 85C would probably lead to unknown side effects. Bitfury's chips are known to be able to take quite a lot of heat but the rest of the components may not behave well at such conditions.

Chips have been tested to run at extreme temperatures. One user used a soldering iron to heat the chip to the point it desoldered. Hashing stopped only when chip started floating on solder and shortcircuited.
