Does anybody trade 18 chips for 1.5 BTC? I want them for my experiments
TIA

If you'd like, I can poke around for quotes here and we can compare notes.
Sounds good. If we use a plant in Oregon, I'd be willing to pick them up and save us some shipping. It looks like BkkMiner might be selling parts+boards at $35 each for the K16 and $100 each for the K64.

Anyone interested in my 128 chips for 9.5btc? I need my preorder funds for another project
I am, but I need a few days to scrape the BTC together.Unless fiat is okay... I don't know how to go about such a transfer in a manner that is safe for the both of us.
I also need to make sure ragin is cool with the transfer of ownership.

What part of the US are you located in?
Portland, OR.
That's good. I'm on the west coast as well. I've got 128 chips on the way and I wouldn't mind pooling for a PCB run.

If anyone is looking to sell a few chips to me and transfer that over on paper to Ragin I might need a few more chips...
I might need either 4 or 36 more chips.
PM me if you want to sell and I hope we can rearrange this Ragin and JohnK. I have 540 chips currently need 4 more to populate 2 more complete Klondike 16s or 36 more to populate one more complete Klondike 64.

Fair enough. Right now I'm looking at sending 480 chips to a local assembly plant, so I might end up letting some other people send me their chips to get in on it as well. Not sure which PCB I'm going to use, though. Burnin's is attractive because 20 chips per board means I can chain more together before I have to add another controller. Bkkcoins' is attractive because it's open source, which means I feel I can trust it more and have my boards printed locally, which means I might get them sooner than I would when ordering from Burnin.
I like the 20 chips per board from burnin, but bkkcoin has a 16 chip board and a 1 chip board, so that'd be cool too.
If you are already organizing something with a local plant, you might make a few extra btc organizing something for the group. What part of the US are you located in?

You could see if there's a PCB assembly plant near you. I might also start taking PCBs and chips for assembly, though I have to admit I'm probably no more qualified for the job than most people. I'll see if I can get some quotes from the plants around where I live.
Seems like a PCB assembly plant may be a bit overkill for 20 chips. :\

Burnin just posted that he'll be opening up orders in the next week. Do we have any updates on the plans for US PCB development?
Raginazn says he's got something in the works. If that doesn't work out, though, I may look at producing Bkkcoins' PCBs here on the west coast. I'm also considering ordering plain PCBs from Burnin and having them assembled here once the chips arrive. (In that case I'd be taking a bet that the PCBs arrive faster than the chips, though.)
Are BKKcoin's PCBs the ones with 16 chips on them? What happens if I have 20 chips? Anyone gonna copy the little USB dongles being bantered about?
You can get two 10 x 10 PCB from BKK and put 10 and 10 or 8 and 12.... that is the option. Go to the KLONDIKE thread for BKKcoins idea. For Burin I think he was thinking double density so 20 on his board might be possible. Check his thread as well.
Yea I had heard about the double density, but I'm in US so I don't want to wait for chips to come to US, get shipped to Germany to be added to PCB boards so they can be shipped BACK to the US to me.

Some folks need to do their reading...
There is no complete design for DIY avalon because there is no fully documented avalon chip datasheet yet. Everyone is 90% done and must wait for the datasheet to drop, then they can send off their prototype runs for mfg and release stuff (if they choose) to the masses (us).
Until then, wait and read.

Is the PCB layout available somewhere? I read that somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Specifically, does anyone know if a Gerber file exists that I could take a look at? I am working on possibly getting the boards fabricated on the east coast. I don't know the cost or timeframe on it just yet. Need the PCB layout first.

John, have you received the chips yet, or have an estimated time? Has anyone recievedthese?
Aren't you a clueless man ?

i just send my info.
But if i want it send to burnin, how would that work?
