zefir... it looks like every buyer will only get 30 sample chips regardless how many batches he bought... do you have already a plan how to spread the chips now? Will only the buyers in first batch have the right to get a sample chip or will you raise the amount of chips needed to be allowed to get a sample chip? So that the 30 chips are spread about all bought batches? I tend to the last...
Edit: Ill do it like i said. Only one buyer through all 4 batches has bought enough chips to be eligible for 3 chips. All other chips are spread through the developers. Every dev in my list will get at least one chip probably.

Sorry, was late and started another thread here.
Very disappointing.
Yes, disappointing for the users that thought they can get a sample by buying more chips and even more disappointing for the developer. But as far as i spoke with the devs... with one chip they can test nearly everything. A second chip is good for testing the communication between 2 chips. Everything above this is practically luxus. So i think it will be enough to prove the designs working. And i think when everone in my list gets one or 2 chips there will be a good amount of miners and assembly services the community can chose from because a working miner was shown...
Its not as bad as it looks. The miner can be tested with one or 2 chips.That might be true for the bare hashing functionality. But you can't test chip-to-chip or inter-board communication for stacking.
Alas, that is not even my point. It was never written that there is such a limitation - it was a part of the ToS that sample chips will be delivered for a 10k chip order. I already stopped to count the hours I spent to collect the owner / supporter information for a most transparent and fair distribution. Plus the effort of everyone providing this data - everything is moot and a waste of time now.
Yes, stacking cant be tested. But BKKCoins has the only board that is stackable. He could even test stacking with 2 boards that have 1 chip on it each. At least i take this from his thread. Im not sure if stacking has to be tested. Its a good thing of course but the stacking is something bkkcoins created. So its nothing unknown to him. The only unknown part yet are the chips and their communication. So im pretty sure bkkcoins can end his design and proof that it works fine.
Yes, youre right with the limitation. Another thing that i account to the non existing customer support.
