I plan to organise a WORLDWIDE group buy for Bitmain BM1380 chip. The group buy is now openPlease pm me to get a payment address. Chips sold so far 1000/10000 The sample chips will be sent to developers so they can work on a open source design. If you are a developer please send me a message with how many chips you need and information on your design so i can consider it. Currently all sample chips for batch one are reserved.The lead time from when we make the order would be 6-7 weeks. As i feel the delays of the holiday season and new year mean paying the extra 10% isn't worth it. Pricing will be:1-9 = 0.013 BTC Per chip 10-49 = 0.0125 BTC Per chip 50-150 = 0.012 BTC Per chip 151-499 = 0.0115 BTC Per chip 500+ = 0.011 BTC Per chip Chip information can be found hereAlso can everyone who is interested in fabrication please tell me what kind of design you want. Usb single or dual chip Reproduction of the S1 Can be one or two blades. Rack size design. Similar size as the KNC design. 3-4 Boards per rack. Or maybe something else. If you have a idea please pm me. The chips will ship immediately once i receive them. Fabrication Quotes will be announced asap. We are just waiting on more information on the board from the Bitmain crew. Chip pictures:  List of people who have paidName AmountBeastlymac 1000 |

I plan to organise a WORLDWIDE group buy for Bitmain BM1380 chip.
This post will be updated with pricing etc.
Who would be interested in this and what kind of chip amount would you be wanting to buy?
I am looking to pledge 1000 chips to get the buy started.
The sample chips will be sent to developers so they can work on a open source design.
The lead time from when we make the order would be 6-7 weeks.
I am just trying to figure out the interest right now.
Further plans after buying chiips 1. When they will get delivered 2. BOM Cost 3. PCB production 4. And so on? 5. TIME TO MARKET? |

Yes i am already talking with EE who can design a open source board the works with the Bitmain chips. PCB production we can organise if people are interested in that? The EE is just waiting for the github to be updated with the necessary information. |

I would take ~128 chips or so assuming the design is similar to the S1. Kind of depends what the guys can manufacture.

Depending on component availability (we will find out when info is released) we should be able to reproduce the S1

Chips per PCB would be interesting and influence the number ordered  |

I am interested in 100-200 pieces to start. Like to build USB sticks like U1, maybe with 2 chips each.
Need around 10 pieces to develop.

I agree with you madpoet. I can take 128 chips as well. |

You can count me in for at least 10 chips, and I'm considering between 50 and 100. I'll be designing my own system.

Isn't the point of a group buy to pool our funds to get X price and we all enjoy the savings? Why is there such a markup on chips?
We would want to contribute purchased chips to a final implementation in usb/blade form, but why the heck would there be a (as of prices right now) $2.70 surcharge per chip over the published price for folks getting 1-9 ($2.25 next level, $1.80 next level)? Shouldn't the added charge be when we have talk of actually manufacturing it into something?

I thought the point was to get enough money together to allow us to have access to the chips; otherwise we're SOL. 25% markups for small quantities is minimal, especially given the risk inherent to group buys. Look up your average $9 MCU on Digikey, and you'll see them marked up 60% for the privilege of small quantity orders. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/MSP430F169IPMR/296-17009-1-ND/656846 |
