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

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.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.

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?

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

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

Why would FC need PCB boards? Wouldn't that be the responsibility of whoever is buying the chips?

friedcat, we are waiting for your development.
come on
come on
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.
presumably asicminer is testing out the (not-yet-released) open-source PCB design info - which may require some revisions if the chip doesnt play nicely the first time around

What is this? Packaged chips?

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.

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

Dare to speculate about next 2 weeks divs ?
We will see 1BTC/share price on Havelock until 1th of may.

Those are PCBs for testing the board

Was thinking a bunch of wafers at first

Since havelock is broken, I'll sell 38 shares @ 0.7 each. Anyone interested?
