I know these are old, but I like it when people say a thing and stick to it. Especially the one from... holy carp, 11 months ago? about his willingness to sell small quantities like they used to, and we've seen pretty much no movement toward that goal.
Guys I'm super excited about this personally and want to help as much as I can!
I'll discuss internally if and how BitFury could contribute to this project. Our reference design PCB for 16nm is almost done and could be used as a starting point should BitFury's chip be selected.
It will not be "small guys" most likely. If your a company making miners most likely is who they would sell to, the question is what MOQ dogie mentioned is required.
It's really early to tell what will happen. I'm not sure hat will happen if they keep pumping these out, difficulty is going crazy is all we know 100 percent.
Actually quite the opposite. We are focused on maximum distribution on all levels. Minimum order quantity (at least in my shop) will be 1 chip.
