Replacement boards for the ASICminer Cube?
How cool would that be!?
That would be too good to be true

Messaged! Looking forward to seeing the new chips

Both USD and Bitcoin payments are supported, but the nominal price will be based on USD.
...
0.49$/G-0.99$/G, depending on order size and delivery speed of choice.

Will this price be somehow coupled to the BTC market price?
For example, the price is $0.99 when the BTC price is $1000. Now the BTC price rises to $3000, will the chip price be adjusted to $2.97 or remain at $0.99?
At an increased BTC price the chips would - of course - be worth more and should(?) undergo a correction.

This is great news!

What to expect with the chips
Datasheets and reference PCB design are going to be released as soon as they are ready.
What is the frequency of the chips in normal mode?

Email sent. Hoping to hear from you soon; this is an exciting announcement. :-)

Wattage is impresive indeed. But it's still 5W to dissipate from small 8x8 mm package. At least make it flip chip that most of heat can go thru top not bottom and PCB that is poor heat conductor.
EDIT: And please consider possibility of selling small batches of sample chips, like 10 chips.

QFN often has thermal pads on the underside. Connect these with enough vias to an underside copper pour without silkscreen and you've got an effective radiator. Stick a fan over that radiator and you'll suck even more heat away.
That's what I do with my QFNs, but I'm not sure about 5W dissipation. Anyone want to crunch the numbers?
You can put a lot more than 5W through this size of package depending upon how it's mounted. PCB via's won't give a particularly good thermal path, but it is possible to use a copper slug to connect to the die pad (with a suitable square hole in the PCB) and then connecting to a larger heatsink. That way over 25W can be removed - assuming die size of 5.3 x 5.3mm - with a large enough sink, the trick is in coupling the die, slug and heatsink together.

For comparison, Bitfury chips use a similar package, and I figure they dissipate about 2.5W in my overvolted rigs with just high-flow fans and no heatsinks. Bitfury chips use thermal pads to dissipate most of the heat through the PCB.

Alright, let me be a little more blunt, shares on havelock aren't direct, though they can be converted to such.
well theoretically they are not but technically they are

Very Nice, so you are saying that Asicminer will focus on selling chips.
But also Asicminer could make some full miners just to keep in yours mining facilities?

this is what I've understood yes, really huge news, I have a feeling that AM will change the future of mining if they achieve what they aimed for..

I is time to buy shares? Stock exchange same as cex.io will be presented?
you can buy direct shares at www.havelockinvestments.com
Direct shares? Is this new? O_O
this is not new !! I don't know where is your confusion ? you asked where to buy shares, and I told you where can you get them, otherwise this is not a new IPO, ASICMINER exist for a couple of years now, and proved to be the best business around bitcoin economy...
basically when you buy a share you will be entitled to a weekly dividend that they pay for every outstanding shares from the mining and hardware sale income, you can also trade the shares and speculate on their prices, the price has already jumped 15-18 % since the announcement...
