I hereby declare that I have traded 8 chips to Lailoken. I no longer have the rights to these 8 chips ordered in this thread.

Thanks,
JahPowerBit

quoting this to confirm. also have 12.8 chips coming in from AndyRossy.

Confirmed,

Lailoken, please send payment to 1CRpQykxXMN9CFBPuJma96rNCsKf6hqC5B (empty address)

And then, the chips are yours

Thanks Andy, just sent .95 BTC to that address for your 12.8 chips.

I personally think it is best if we as a group spread these chips directly to developers with promising DIY open source designs.

+1. BkkCoins should definitely get a few, at the very least.

BKKcoins is getting all of Steamboats... but yes if we get our chips first it be great he gets some as well. But again I think we need to VOTE on this.

Ragin we need to have this resolved. I have 540+ chips on order I'd love to say that those with larger orders should get some of those freebee chips but I don't think that is fair. We all should get 1 vote and then have those freebee chips sent to developers.

We need to make a list of viable options including Ragin for his developers. But we got to do this now the freebees ship in 2 or 3 weeks right?

I think we should wait for an update from Avalon about the test chips to make a decision - just to see how many we are getting and whatnot before we decide anything. I say this fully expecting not to get any (only ordered 26 and I don't need to test with just 1). Cheesy

Looks like I'm going to be buying another user's 12.8 chips. I would really like to end up with 20 chips for a 20 chip unit though - I know it's a long shot but is there anyone in this thread that wants to sell 8 chips worth of their share?

edit: for that matter I'd love to buy someone's 18 or 28 chips, and would pay a bit extra for interest Wink

confirmed. You are buying 8 chips from JahPowerBit

The Gratis Chips...

1. We should all vote on it.

What do others think?

I agree, although I'm betting some of the developers have group buys themselves where they will be getting dev chips.

@ragingazn628

How are you going to deal with fractional chips? They sum up to 15 chips. I guess you could round down the number of chips and count the price of fractional chips towards shipping costs. Remaining 15 chips could be sold to someone in the group.

Also the developer chips that are shipping early must be disbursed and no doubt count towards the 780 chip total.

I would think that they would NOT be included.
A 10k chip purchase, and can't get a couple dozen gratis?

This is a critical point for people getting their expected share, it seems relevant to consider it.

I was under the impression that the dev chips were gratis.

Just waiting for new PCB updates on the Kicad stuff from BkkCoins in the "Klondike" thread. It looks like he's only made the partial plans for the 16-chip board available to the public so far. I have some experience with designing PCBs using Kicad, but I'm not sure I am at the level where I could improve upon BkkCoin's design. I'm competent enough to spot any obvious issues pertaining to electrical limits or signal propagation. Maybe we can convince him to release the 64-chip board PCB files to us under a licensing deal.

There's also the reference board from Avalon. It supports 10-chips per blade, as I understand, but I don't have Altium to look at the schematics. It also requires an FPGA on-board as a controller for each blade and that drives the cost up, but it is a known working design from Yifu so there's that.

There's an established PCB house in California that claims they will match or beat any quote on assembled PCBs in the USA, but it's still only economical if enough people pool together to buy 50-100+ boards...

I would also consider a P&P group buy based on Klondike.

[edit] Ok, looks like Klondike is just putting together and shipping PCB boards, but not doing the final chip mounting in a reflow oven... I'm looking at the reference design myself now, might go with my own favorite PCB assembly house. Has anyone started working with their own PCB assemblers on this yet?

Yea, I think we desperately need someone to put together something to turn these chips into a final product. Burnin is doing great work but he's in Germany, and that sucks. I would put it together but I don't really know anything about electrical engineering or where to go to get PCBs + parts assembled.

Raginzazn, can you add enough boards on your order to Klondike to cover mounting my 70 chips? Would be nice to just have mine ride along with yours until the last shipping step, if possible. I can pay / tip you for letting my chips ride on your order. Cheers~

+1

Also, if we go Klondike, I'll have 4 chips left over after one board. I want to obtain another 12 to get two boards. Anyone here need to part and parcel some of their chips out?
