I encountered the same thing. Also, if we order just the ASIC for now, but later decide to use the board assembly service, how will that be handled.

Thanks for running this, looks interesting.

I can't speak for the other designers, but I was likely going to target a single chip design for the first round. 

hopefully 1 chip per board, since they are 100gh chips

Very interested  

How many chips are the not yet designed boards going to need,2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or 16,I'd hate to not get enough to fill a few boards.

Should we have received a confirmation email, or are those still going out?

Went to the link in your signature, says I have to order 16

Where do we order from where we can just order a few?

No minimum order, feel free to order 1 if you like

Can you confirm that the minimum order is 20?

emailed! I'm going to work on a board for this too.

Bobsag3, can I get a confirmation that you received my reservation?

thanks!

I'm working on it as well.  :-)  There will be no shortage of Minion boards, I'm sure.

Lovely! I'd be interested in a few for sure

Working on it

Would be good if there's US based team vouching that they are doing it atm.

Not yet that I'm aware of, but there are a number of teams working on them at the moment.  Some of these chips will likely go towards vetting their designs.

Is there any board available, anywhere?

You know we Vespula want some to populate our hives.
