Afternoon Gents, today I am happy to be able to provide the first DIY chip distribution for the Black Arrow Minion 28nm Chip.

http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/preliminary-minion-datasheet.html


I am Black Arrow's US based reseller, and am happy to provide this service to the community.
I have reserved and paid for the first 300 available bare chips, and have the ability to purchase as many as required/wanted.

Pricing
I will be offering the limited batch of 300 at the $199 Nominal Price/chip [Will be adjusted to match BA pricing] + 5% Handling Fee, and shipping to wherever you need it (UPS Express/Express International Included). Additional chips for production orders and or group buys can be arranged through me as well.

Shipping
I will be receiving these chips at the soonest possible date IE as soon as they are available to Black Arrow, + 2 days shipping from them to me.
The current Ship Date is Feb 24th.

Availability
I have 300 chips available immediately, with the ability to order more at any time. Chips will be distributed in the order of the down payment being received.

Chips will be available for as long as possible, plenty of notification will be given when amounts are running low.

How to order
Since the number of potential buyers is limited, the orders will be processed manually as follows:
1) Place your buy order via email [mininghosting@ gmail ]
2)I will send you payment instructions for a 20% Down payment, refundable up till Jan 15th, or If I fail to deliver
3) Remainder must be paid by the time chips ship.


12/2/13 5PM CST: All email orders have been confirmed and recorded.

Not yet that I'm aware of, but there are a number of teams working on them at the moment.  Some of these chips will likely go towards vetting their designs.

Would be good if there's US based team vouching that they are doing it atm.

I'm working on it as well.  :-)  There will be no shortage of Minion boards, I'm sure.

How many chips are the not yet designed boards going to need,2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or 16,I'd hate to not get enough to fill a few boards.

I can't speak for the other designers, but I was likely going to target a single chip design for the first round.

I encountered the same thing. Also, if we order just the ASIC for now, but later decide to use the board assembly service, how will that be handled.

Thanks for running this, looks interesting.

I might want to order one... any idea on the ETA of the first boards?

Oh and I was wondering if the prospero x-1 is aimed at consumers why can I only order 10?

Thanks for your time Smiley
