Regarding short-term (BM1384, etc) projects - the 2-chip stick is definitely moving forward but I'm temporarily shelving the pod project. I may have access to some stock of a better chip which would make for a better end product at about the same price, which is never a bad thing. But it'll take longer to dev.
The 2-chip stick PCB is already laid out, and vh is busy making sure he can talk to two chips at once. I will probably be sending off for a short batch of PCBs first of next week.

Regarding Bitfury 16nm projects, I got shipping notification of my 2-chip testing PCB so I'll probably be playing with that early next week also. There's a lot of embedded code to do for it before I'll even be able to talk to the chips.

Tentative pricing for a Bitfury 16nm pod is around $125. My reseller friends are worried that >$100 is too much for a pod miner. With an estimated stock setting of about 650GH at 75W DC, would folks still buy it? That's priced high even by Avalon721 standards, but it also has better efficiency - and with integrated undervolting, it can get better still.
