Is anyone offering assembly services for bitfury boards? I love bitfury gear, but I can't do much with chips on my own.
I've helped several people turn their chips into working NF1 / NF2 boards (including almost literally hand-holding through the entire process).
Depending on how quickly you want the magic to happen it takes on average 2-4 weeks from end to end (the moment you decide you get the chip till you have hashing boards).
Feel free to PM me if interested. If it turns out there are a lot of people interested I may set up a separate thread.
I'm sure there are also other people that can help in that area too.
I reserved the 2nd spot because I was going to go into more elaborate detail on assembly service.
I can also offer assembly services for any of your boards as long as you have the design and specs ready for production. I'm assuming there's some other people on here as well, so you can likely get competitive pricing and varying levels of quality and expertise if you ask around.
The NanoFuries are probably your best option for single chip USB boards. I have done a few small runs of these myself. vs3 is actually the original designer, and I know he worked with some people from the last group buy to assemble working hardware. The best pricing is going to be on the largest quantity production runs, so if several people went in on a production deal the group would get the best overall price. If you guys form a group buy for hardware production I will be happy to supply the chips, and everyone would save on shipping among other expenses.
I know many people are interested in multi chip boards. This is something I have been working on myself and with my team, but nothing is in production yet. I think there are some open source, or pay-per-processor options out there, but I have little first hand knowledge. I know there is an H card style option out there, which also requires production of a custom M-Board. If anyone finds something they want to work with I can get a quote for assembly and help organize a group or individual production.
If this group buy goes like the last one did, it is going to attract several people with similar goals. This thread can serve as an open discussion. Whatever you are trying to do, there are other like minded people who will work with you if you reach out.
