[OPEN] Black Arrow Minion 28nm DIY Chip Distribution 190/300

[thomas_s]

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

Purchase the x1's from www.minersource.net if you don't want to purchase in a quantity of 10 from BA.

[thomas_s]

Can you confirm that the minimum order is 20?

Original post says to email requesting that you would like to purchase them.

If someone were to guess... how much would a board and mounting cost for a chip? 250 dollars? I am trying to cost compare buying a X-1 vs a raw chip and then having it mounted into something.

Depends vastly on the design, parts and quantity.

Couple of questions:

Bobsag3: are you collecting down payments yet? Your e-mail confirmation to me didn't include any information on how to do that.

Also, has anyone seen a datasheet with pin-outs? I have some time over the next few weeks that I'd like to use to layout a board for this chip.

thanks!

I was just checking.  As mentioned by goodney, I hadn't received any payment details information yet.  Didn't want to fall through the cracks. :-)

Ah, ok.  You had mentioned a 20% down in the OP, so many of us were still waiting to pay to reserve our spot.

edit:  will there be any sample chips for design verification, or are we blind until this first production run?  no worries eitehr way; just want to adjust timelines, and design the first board accordingly.

I was concerned about payment too, so I emailed Matt.

Now I see the post above... OMG Matt way to place some confidence behind this by paying for the batch yourself.

When Jan comes, my BTC is ready so all I need now is to find who is going to go for a multi chip board? Seems it would be a bit too expensive to do single chip boards... not liking the idea of shelling out a possible $2K for boards  just to get 8 chips mining... on top of chip cost.

Very interested really hoping to get an idea on board availability as well.

BUMP

Two weeks since this thread had any activity... would like to know who has plans in the works already for these chips?

Configuration will depend on their performance, but I had plans to put together a system using them.  Waiting for more info in general; a lot of other chips are active right now.

Hey bobsag3...  at what point are we sending you money?  Initially we were supposed to send you a deposit, and pay you mid January.  Deposit seems to have been waived, and mid January has come and gone.  I believe group 1 chips are still scheduled for may-ish.  I want to make sure I have my BTC purchased ahead of time.

[cannachris]

I would like to reserve two... let me know when I need to pay.

[awgilyas]

Any updates Bob? Else I'd rather get some Prospero X1 from minersource.

[bobsag3]

I will be going thru this and posting updates here in the next few days, thanks for the patience guys.
