I was gonna put a disclaimer for that. but i thought my weasel word of "almost' would cover me. I'll be more clear. at the current Bitcoin price (~$130), it will be under 1 btc. If bitcoin doubles, it'll be under 0.5, if it halves, under 2...
As of right now I am 99% sure it will cost less than $120 dollars (and most likely a good amount less than that) but I have NO IDEA what parts and labor cost yet. the only expense I have right now is the 592 chips I bought with ragingazn628

1.4btc = $180 for k1? no thanks
Board + Chip + Production costs no more $ 50
Up to $ 100 ok, above this value, not worth it.

This is why I didn't want to say a price I said UNDER 1 btc. (which means it could be anywhere from 0.01 to 0.99) This includes everything assembled with the chip.
What if bitcoin price crashes to $60 or even under $30 begore june, will the price of the miner still be under 1 BTC?

Where? Link ? ;-)
1 BTC would be too high. The Bulgarians offered the K1 @ 10 EUR + Chip (around 0.08 BTC) and the K16 @ 31 EUR + Chips (16x0.08 BTC).

This is retail pricing with chip included, ready to go.
All i'm saying is that it will be less than 1 btc, but like I said, can't be sure now on anything more specific than that.

Do you have an estimate on when you expect to be able to ship?

Just say the price?
Way too early to tell, almost certainly under 1 btc. How much under, well, time will tell.
Just say the price?

How difficult would it be to attach the Avalon chip yourself -- I assume it's BGA?
It's a QFN 48 pkg. Do a search on Youtube "solder qfn" and you'll see some demos to help you decide. With some skills it's not hard but you need the right tools - ideally an SMD rework station. There is a large thermal pad on the bottom and this has to be soldered without too much that it floats it up off the board.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Qt5CtUlqY
You'd want to practice on low cost chips.

If they fall in the $40-50 range with chips than I'll be in for 10
Really interested, 30-50$ that's cool !
Absolutely Interested!!
Interested.
I have someone who is thinking about pulling one of their 1st batch Avalon modules for me. That's so counter productive for him that I understand his reservations. I suggested we wait until I'm at the point where they would really help and then see how much the community wants to chip in to offset his mining loss to gain the extra time in board production.
I think it will take a lot of skill and he right equipment to remove those chips successfully. I guess you could pre bake them perhaps. As I'm sure you know, it is going to take a lot of heat to free the thermal pad from the board.
A basic rework station and a suction pen should make safe removal/reinstallation of the chips a simple process. So easy, even a wrenchmonkey could do it!
