Step 1 is to buy 90 chips from Zefir, by sending 7.74BTC to 162HWpt9njiDsk5nwGixw7fDPuNy55Kh9X and signing the sending address so he knows it's me.

Please don't send messages to Zefir he's already flooded with requests.
The way this will work is:
When you order from me you'll have to include a signed message that you want me to receive your chips.
Then i run the checks that you have indeed paid the amount of Chips and that you indeed own the address.
That will be handled by Scripts.
Then i'll forward all the signed messages in a bulk so Zefir can run his own verify scripts on the data.
That will greatly reduce the amount of work and communication.

The rest is correct.

I would like to suggest that in addition to a barrel jack and 6-pin PCI-e Mini-Fit Jr power connector, that the board also have connectors to accept 12V power from a 4-pin Molex, and also from a SATA-style power connector.
Heck, add in some screw terminals too.
Also, an on-board header to power a fan would be a nice touch. Software-controlled fanspeed would be even nicer.

There will be a temperature controlled Fan header.
As for power connectors: adding all kinds of connectors would increase board size disproportionately.

Host software will be cgminer, it will appear like an orignal avalon to it.
But since it will be opensource and the firmware will be upgradeable via USB it is possible to run your own protocol/host-application.
