Quick update:
Batch 1 emails have been delayed. My apologies. Everything is on track for being ready before chip arrival. There were a couple possible questions not addressed in the email, and it is being revised to ensure completeness so emails do not need to be sent for each process.
Samples were shipped to BkkCoins this morning.
90% of the accessories have been sourced, with samples en route.
Work on the PCB and bom is being finalized and should be ready for assembly prior to Batch 1's arrival.
Timelines are tight, and the focus is on ensuring the batches are ready for assembly.
Any emails with questions explicitly outlined in the OP or FAQ will be redirected.
All purchases received, recorded, replied. Thread OP update shortly.
Anyone interested in some pics?

Not sure which group(s) you're involved in, but to my knowledge, aside from purchase confirmations, emails have only gone out for the 1st purchase group.
no email here too
Just to clarify - I believe steamboat is only sending emails to those who do not want assembly ("purchase only")
If this was already understood then kindly disregard this message.

Everyone loves a lil bit o silicon.
The sample chips are somewhere between here and Chicago. The tracking number stopped updating once the package reached US customs.
All orders received recorded, replied.
Final parts sourcing should be complete within the next few days. A few parts have been ordered, and samples for others are on their way.

Good stuff
On another note... is there word/news on any open boards working? I did some fast searches for 'Klondike' but only got ice cream bars (j/k). I have NOT looked long/hard but there seems to be nothing in the way of WORKING prototypes for open design boards. Anyone have some news/links?

BkkCoins is making good progress on the K1 and K16 boards. He doesn't yet have any Avalon sample chips, but has still been able to develop and test his design pretty well. It'll be exciting to see once he gets his hands on the first chips. Here is his klondike development thread.

Do any of these assembly options require the buyer to solder any SMT components?
It looks like the Assembly does but the other options do not, correct?
I tried reflow soldering SMT components in college once. Never again.
None of the options require soldering. At a minimum, each assembly option includes the PCB and components assembled together with the provided ASICS. ASIC chips may come from any group buy, private buy, or this thread.
Yes. Each K16 with the DIY kit option and up will come with the parts necessary to stack.
This is awesome to hear ! Was just trying to figure out the physical logistics of where to organize 18 K16's.
I would guess the fully assembled and tested units will also ship with parts necessary to stack as well ?
Cheers !
That is correct. All parts necessary for assembling Kscrapers will be included.
Steamboat, could you speak to the logistics once chips arrive? I assume you separate the chips-only orders and ship them immediately, but what about when you receive the assembled boards? Do you then ship the board assembly-only orders? Then the kits? Then fully assembled? Or are you keeping with the FIFO queue between all boqrds that require assembly? Where do hosted units fit in?
The chip only orders will be shipped first, as they do not require assembly. The assembled units will be processed in a FIFO queue, with each board receiving the kit or final assembly requested as it passes through the line. Tested and hosted units will be connected, any programming required completed, and tested prior to shipment or being brought online.
Hosting details are close to finalization, and will be released soon, though it appears the initial 8% estimate will become final, with $0.06kw/h energy cost.
Parts sourcing is in full effect. Manufacturers have been tentatively selected, samples are scheduled for arrival within the next week.

But estimating when these difficulties will hit is the key
