I too would like to buy up to 4 X5 boards. As you all may have seen, there price jumped from $500 to $650. I wonder why they are selling these at all at this point. Maybe a new chip nearby? Perhaps I missed it in other comments, but what is the shipping time like? I think the minimum buy is 10 boards if I understand correctly. I asked for clarification, but didn't get a reply from Vadim. What is the total demand from this forum so far? Have they answered anyone regarding weather or not they will use escrow?

You can build a miner by buying old Antminer S1, S3 or S5 and then Hotmine X5 or Hotmine X6 upgrade kit from Hotmine.
Hotmine: http://en.hotmine.io/x5-x6-upgrade-kit-new
With first two (S1, S3) you need to buy separately a BB board (Beaglebone Black) and build a supporting bracket for it.
S5 has BB board.
You can see my review/guide for more instructions.

God, you're killing me. Been trying to get three sets for quite awhile. A few folks here have been trying to get a group buy together with trusted sources. They have a ten set minimum. Daria does answer all emails given 10 days or so. I don't want to keep bugging them until they roll out their cart system if that's in the cards....
If you have a source for individual sets - I'd love to hear about it! I'm sort of surprised at the lack of companies not doing this. The business is already there and waiting to happen. (Isn't that the basis of the "disrupter" economy?)
They ask for $2M now 
I’d imvest 100
As would I.Great, that only leaves only 9,998 more (@ $100ea) folks needed just to meet Bitfury's $1M Minimum Order Req. for chips...
Don't see that happening anytime soon
I’d imvest 100
Did this ever gain any traction? I would be interested in throwing down if it was still a go. I Noticed that no one has commented on this thread in awhile tho
Russians are going big with Bitfury and up to $100mil investment ($10mil into chip dev), want to challenge chinese and get up to 30% of all mining. 20 megawatts power at 1.3c/kwh.
Do you know what nm will they target?
they use 16nm Bitfury in Sunrise and for next gen altcoin miner (Multiclet) it's 28nm with working prototype (concept validation) at much higher nm.

yeah I've recognised that. I was thinking it was another chip because there was posts about 10$. My information about exact costs and minimum bundle amount may be helpfull to many, so I posted that.
I am also interested in Building miners, but don't have funds yet. PMing me about efficient and small amount orders would be appreciated.

Those are the same 16nm chips as they introduced originally.
My Hotminer X5 miner is equipped with those, see my review thread (link in my signature).

There is a new BitFury chips, 16nm BF8162. I have contacted and confirmed that 1 chip is 7$ and minimum order amount is 500 000$. 1 chip has 100GH/s power and 0.1J/GH efficiency with conditional cooling.
i am also interested.
I'm also interested.
I'm working, but dev time keeps getting kicked by manufacturing time. I started the 2Pac project to raise funds for BF16 dev but ended up taking over a month longer than planned to get the first batch built. Now all the kinks are worked out and I'm flat flying, but still haven't had time to get BF16 anything working. Way way behind schedule with new product development, but it's getting there. A lot of groundwork is laid, so as soon as we get chips talking the rest will fall into place pretty fast.
But that's not really this thread's project. I don't know what's up.

You can do it mate! I'm sure I have bought stuff based on your designs in the past and genuinely look forward to seeing more.

is there still interest in this project or did it just die
i would be interested to invest

I would be able to throw some financial weight behind a project like this in the coming months. $100k+ (most likely quite a bit more)
