BFL SC firmware.

Kaboom , this may work.

What does FPGA firmware/bitstream have to do with ASIC?

Presumably this is the firmware that runs on the micros in BFL units. As Luke-Jr states, it's for BitForce SC (ASIC), not FPGA.

As long as there is proof of board development, and assembly capacity (I would pay an extra fee for someone to assemble and test), I would gladly add atleast 300-400 chips to the group buy.

IF,BFL states in WRITING the chips will be delivered by such & such a date & IF you guys can get a working board,I will be in with my measly 16 chip credit Cool

We need to see this documentation though,or at least a promise from the group buyer in some way.............Either way,I'm not going to wait another year for them to get the ball rolling Roll Eyes

Man, that was a stupid purchase! Roll Eyes

Nah, just kidding (you were asking for it

)

There is often a very fine line between stupid and brave

Agreed! Hopefully I'm the latter and not the former.

And I was asking for it.

In Josh's post on the the bfl forum he mentions $75 per chip. So have chip prices been reduced already?

Yes...

Can you stack the discounts in a single order?

Like get 3*100 discount coupons and get 100 chips for free? :-D I think that question does not need to be answered.

It seems that 75$/chip isn't the lowest value for the chips.

One of the qualities I look for in an escrow is the ability to convincingly pull off referring to themselves in the third person. Grin

FWIW I've paid for an order of chips and have requested developer chips and reference docs. When I get those I will post the docs here and then send the chips to whichever dev's have the community's support and can put the time into actually producing an actual working board.

*Note - I don't want to hear how this is a stupid purchase. I've done my risk assessment and think this is a good commercial opportunity. If you disagree with that then please keep it to yourself.

Good for you! Haters will be haters but if you have done your due diligence and think this is the right move for you, go for it. You make up you own decisions, not the crowd.
