Hello!

I need 10chips, i got cupons from my 2 jalapenos and i live in Argentina....how much have to transfer to you via PayPal to do a full payment (10 chips + oficial post shipment with traking...avoid UPS/DHL/etc + PayPal Fee)?

Regards

Hi!

What do you mean by oficial post shipment? National postal office? I was planing to use TNT... but this probably is UPS/DHL/etc... Will you be buying just chips?

You need 6 exstra credits but you are in luck. I had a donation of 20 credits today so you can get 6 for free. But you can donate something to the donator...

Paypal fee is 6,5%. Paypal takes 4% when transferring and then it exchanges all into € when I take it off and then I need to transfer it back to $ and put it on Bitstemp and there I have 0,5% fee... So if you don't have $ in Argentina you can send in €... It will make no difference to you but I can give you less fee...

Have you requested your samples? I just send them a email to [email protected] - don`t know if it is essential to get them... have a look:

Yes I did the same but also used some other mail([email protected], [email protected] and contact form on webpage) just to be sure after getting no response...

GB buyers will have 5$ per bought chip discount on boards. Since 5$ per chip from GB is paying for development of the boards this is only thing that is far. So this is the same as you would pay just 50 or 75$ per chip.

EDIT: But if you end up ordering boards for 128 chips we can talk discaunts

Awesome work - will watch you!

Our group bought too 128 chips and we will forward them to you if your project will be successfull.
Maybe when you will make a final board in this time frame, you can send BFL a working one Grin

Will you accept too PCB & assembling orders outside your chip groupbuy?

Yes but at higher price... See first post.

BTW did you had any luck with sample chips?

Hmmm - think I have read all but can`t find the infos where PCB`s & assembling can be ordered at higher prices.

I have enough vouchers to secure a 100 chip batch. If a board assembly/prototype is available soon, I would be interested in throwing up to 100 chips into this. I will keep watching this thread closely for future developments. If burnin or BKKCoins can beat BFL to their own game, they will surely reap the benefits from an army of pissed off customers.

Anthony is not longer with us, which is why the sample chips have languished. I just corrected this problem today and we have a new person on it... he should be getting the sample chips taken care of over the next couple days.

It looks like something at BFL really changed. Got some answers from them that I was waiting for a long time but still no conformations on sampels chips. But things looking up...

lucko why did not copy bfl labs board???

Sorry what? You probably misunderstand that. It will be close but not 100% same... Why. We need board done in 100 days with who know how long without sample chips. Not a lot time to experiment... KISS

Pictures are there just to show that we are probably going the right direction... This is not the board

EDIT: Sorry... misread what you wrote... Just coping a board will not do. From what I read even with 2 chips and firmware 1.2.5 and some "overclocking" some have overheating issues on 1V power supply... We also plan to add basic overclocking and overvolting in...

EDIT2: This overheating is more or less on older models of board but still... New models(one that was released) should support 4 chips, even 6 if there is no issues with them spiking power usage...

Don't forget that you don't automatically get sample chips. Josh left a message on one of the threads mentioning that you have to place a (free) follow up order for sample chips separately after placing a chip order.

Yes I know. I'm looking on a way to get replay confirming samples... And you need to contact sells as far as I understood this MSG...

If anyone know any direct phone number that would help...

EDIT: I don't see any option of a follow-up order...

It looks like it is not only my problem but BFL problem again...

You mean to make board with 16 chips on board? Or 8 chip?

KISS (keep it simple stupid)

If we had time I would do 16 chips but we have 100 days. It would be grate if the first board would work. So that why we are doing it simple. BFL board and adding power on it. If there will be a better board out there will be used but for now we are going this way. If you look at the long board(BFL single)

and Jalapeno that BFL realised...

You see that you have more or less the same components but more capacitors... On our board we have planed 8 but I think we need to change that to 10 or more seeing this... It looks like power usage spikes a lot...

Put me down for 8 chips I am just waiting to hear back from Lucko about 6 chip credits (which I may have taken care of myself) and how to pay for the first 50% via paypal. If paypal isn't preferred I can always get coins from Coinbase but I will have to wait 4-5 days for them.

edit: I was just reading that there are paypal issues so let me know if another method would be preferred. Like I said above I can always use Coinbase.

I'm looking but it looks like it will be hard to find 6... Usually it is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64... So I'm looking and sending PM to all I can find... Don't worry I will include you in this batch... Paypal has now some additional fees since I need to get money off it and change it to BTC but you can use it...

Okay thanks if there are any additional fees for using paypal just let me know and I will include them in the payment. I put a bid in for some credits on bitmit but we will see. Just send me a pm and let me know how and where to send you the first payment, if we can't find any chip credits then I'll owe you a little more money. I'm willing to buy 8, it still saves me some money, if that happens I'll just give the extra 2 to you.

If anyone is interested...

It looks like we are on the right track... More power and 8 chips

But it looks like we will need to add more capacitors... Hm... maybe not even that much more power just more capacitors... Need to find a better picture...
