The only thing different from what you said would be to hold the chips for the large orderers rather than shipping them individually so that they can be lumped in with their order. But effectively, it is the same as what you're saying. I think I misread your original post- sorry, I'm operating on basically no sleep for the last 3 days.
Ok... i think it will be possible for the big orderers to keep the chips with me until the real batch arrives. Option 2, i send it as soon as possible, or 3 i send it to a dev of their choice...
Sebastian, here are my thoughts:
- send at least 1 chip for each of PCB creators like BkkCoins or burnin
- the rest should be taken by people who also has a plan to build the miner by them self (without sending chips to BkkCoins or burnin - because of some reasons like time consuming)
- maybe there should be a list of people who are also engineers and who are waiting for chips and documentation which would help to build their miner (I am one of them, I want to buil my miner by myself)
- it would be great if those peopel get this chip and try to make not independend from BkkCoins' or burnin's project (more projects bigger change on success)
- if after above handing-out some chips left in your hand, send them to the PCB creators (like BkkCoins, ...) to improve their already started projects
P.S. What about the documentation? Will it be there too (with those samples)?
That is all
I guess 1 chip will be a help of course. I know bkkcoins miner can run with one chip only, even though 16 have space. But i believe other miners dont work this way.
Your second point could be done the way that these devs write a note here in the post so they can get a chip donated from someone. Im not sure if i should give one out to everyone who claims so because at the end everyone could claim it to have a free chip. So who should get a chip then? It would be easy to say if the devs wouldnt use the design only for themselves so that other have something from sending them a chip...
I have a list of devs and assemblers in my sig. Of course they dont only work for themselves.
The documentation is here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/release-avalon-reference-200668Doesnt sound so very different to what i said? I only dont know if to give chips to someone that only claims he will create a miner for himself because no one has something from him having a miner. And it could be that he doesnt have a miner at all and only wants to get a free chip.
