Either way it means good things when they weld them together to test out guess we will need to wait 2 days to see how it turns out
Damn man, these days feels like ages In the end I am happy that we have Rockxie around, at least now we have some second hand updates and photos for hungry shareholders, Friedcat doesn't care about PR

Looks like reels of SMD resistors and capacitors. At least the first 5 or so, can't see the rest. Yes. This looks like some reels of SMD parts. Could be anything from resistors, capacitors, diods and so on. The paper reels ( the first ones you can see) are most likely resistors or capacitors.

It seems that things are on the right track, are they not?

It seems that things are on the right track, are they not? Seems so. Announcements are always appreciated, but every chip designer seems to have received chips by now and I guess we'll see first 3rd party specs in the following days. I, for one, am not worried currently. And I guess the second batch is in production right now and I believe it to be sent to the buyers in early may.

Why would FC need PCB boards? Wouldn't that be the responsibility of whoever is buying the chips? edit: I know I'm not knowledgeable on this subject. Don't flame, just answer.

He can need it for testing the chips and he can give out a reference design for chip customers.

So in reality, a customer wouldn't even need to design a PCB? Anyone could simply outsource the work for assembly, toss them the design that already exists, and have a working product? This seems too easy.. How do i order chips?

Is everyone expecting to not receive a dividend until the chips are shipped?

There should be a few satoshis at some point, as it looks like a block was found recently.

This seems too easy.. How do i order chips? presumably. however, open-source PCB design is not always the easy solution (look at the dozens of failed K16 projects that took place using avalon chips only a few months ago) that said, im watching closely for chip prices and PCB designs. I have almost no eagle skills, but am definitely looking into sourcing a local fabrication/assembly if it makes sense when comparing the risks/costs against the simplicity of buying pre-made assemblies from a competitior

I hope not ... according Friedcat's updates it should be "2-20PH" ... The "first" batch was most likely an engineering or sample batch. You don't order 50+ wafers of chips (200000+ chips) when you don't know yet whether they're going to work at all. That engineering batch was spread across the developers and potential big-customers, and some of it remained of course at AM for optimization of the reference PCBs, etc... The "first real batch" of multiple PH/s is most likely in production as we speak. I expect it to arrive in early May.

That was just some MAJOR volume on Havelock! 150 shares approx.

It could be someone selling shares to himself. Most of the shares were at one price. That many buy orders at a single price isn't normal. The owner wouldn't lose many shares. Only cost difference would be Havelock's transaction fee. And it could scare people into selling lower. But it could be anything.

$35K, not exactly earth shattering but I guess it's all relative to the low volume.

I did one in the middle of March and it went through just fine. It would be hard to tell if they did transfer though - I didn't receive a confirmation from Friedcat, just from Havelock requesting the transfer. When dividends came out thats what I noticed that the shares had moved over. We haven't had dividends so maybe the shares have been moved over already you just don't know it yet?

Well, they'd appear in my havelock account so I could trade them, and they haven't so far. But you're right, there's been no dividend since I requested it, so could just be friedcat isn't bothering until there's a dividend to pay.
