$4000 for 10 chips.
That would buy 2 completed 16 chip boards from Lucko's group, ready to hash, plus a psu, plus a nice big tip for the person willing to selling them.
If you read the sale details it is a standard mixed pack.
I do'nt object to anyone making a profit but................

Those are sample chips. Product chips were not yet send out so if they are A grade he was extremely lucky or buy a lot of chips. I would say he has no clue what grade they are...

Edit. The ebay seller is the carpet bagger. at that price we could all sell on ebay and make a profit over hashing them. The thrill should be in the end product(bitcoins)

Just some food for thought...
No Offense but 1 th/s wont be jack shit come January. Just sayin'
Especially if knc ships 28nm ontime (October 15th), I have 2 th/s of avalon asics now, which to me is barely anything these days.
It's much smarter to get hashing sooner than later even on a smaller scale, the difficulty level is rising at record levels every difficulty change.
Also I wanted to note to people to keep updated on the cgminer thread, the latest news is Bitfury devices wont be compatible for awhile, there is some issue there, I had the link but I lost it, if you look for it you can find the info.
We use the same micro controller and firmware as BFL - our devices will be compatible out of the box just like BFL's are, plus they will be available much sooner.
We will be ready as soon as BFL starts shipping chips which should be soon, they may be backlogged on devices but that takes assembly, the availability of other components and all sorts of other things that causes delays, chip shipments should be timely.
Just putting in my two cents

Sometimes forums aren't the best forum for communication my sentiment was of disappointment not excitement (after rereading my post I understand the assumption though). My thought was my 64 GH/s won't be much worth it but you are right about a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. So at the risk of looking fickle I am taking back the offer to sell my chips and sticking with the plan. At no point did I loose my faith in the cointamination project (this development has exceeded any promises and expectations). I am just getting very concerned about the rise in difficulty, 300,000,000 seemed so improbable to me a year ago but now I thinkit is right around the corner. Hell something like 135,000,000 is next...
I stand corrected next estimate at the moment is 110,000,000.

JJ,
I have June 22 chips order with BFL. Expecting to get them around end of September.
Do you think you'll have a working 16 chip prototype board by then?
Thanks,

Wow, Cointerra right here in Austin TX announced today that they are selling pre-orders for 1TH/S ($3499) January delivery. I have 8 chips in batch 2 and 8 in batch 3 (50% paid) I would be willing to sell all 16 for 3.3 BTC or 1.7 BTC for 8. Send me a pm if interested...
Edit: Nevermind I'm keeping my chips.

So my 1000w cougar (with 8 connectors) should be ok with 3 boards but may bottom out with 4?
3 is okay.
4 maybe works, too - but i wouldn't do that 24/7 - unwatched.
Its too near to its limits.
Its good these units are arriving from October onwards, they will reduce the central heating bill!
September 11, 2013, 01:43:45 PM
I'm expecting a 16 chip board will want about 300W.

Hi
Is there any more information about power requirements?
If these (and other boards) sell well, there could be a problem buying power supplies of the right quality and size.
We may need to pre-order psu's to obtain the best units.
BFL seem to have had problems along these lines.

BFL seem to have had problems along these lines.
These boards use standard 6 pin pci-e connectors, like what you use with a high end gpu
I do not know the exact power requirements per board yet , but it can easily be measured after form assembles the first board using these new rev 1.2 boards.
The datasheet for the chip is here: http://my.root4u.de/BFL_SHA2_Spec_Rev2.2.pdf
Which may be helpful,
But honestly I would just buy a high end certified gold or certified platinum "gaming level" psu
1000w-1200w Seasonic Platinum or Corsair Gold/Platinum Something like that
I actually tested several BFL 50Ghs SC's (they actually do 65Gh/s+) which I believe have 16 chips in them, and I was able to easily run 3 Units from one 1200w Seasonic Platinum PSU. It had enough connectors and plenty of power. So I would imagine the contamination board will use about the same amount of power as the BFL 50 SC here: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/50-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html
Hope I was able to help.
-JJ
FYI,
Mini rigs are shipped with two 1500W power supplies. One running 4 singles (64 chips) pulls 950W from the wall, the other is running 4 singles (64 chips) plus all the sidewall fans, pulls 1100W from the wall.
So my 1000w cougar (with 8 connectors) should be ok with 3 boards but may bottom out with 4?

hi
sorry about the confusion, between my incredibly busy life and the huge time zone difference between myself and lucko, and form we have some mis-communication.
Please dont buy anything from the website until weve tested this board thoroughly.
We will have prices and everything else worked out by the time the board is tested.
thank you for being patient and sorry for confusing you - I was excited to finally get the PCBs in though
