Sent my btc for a freaking asic! Bet it gets here before a bfl product 
That is pretty funny actually.
Just 2 questions:
1) What are your plans for PCB design and estimated costs to finished product?
2) Do you have a link or at least a preliminary pinout diagram of the chip?
Thankx.
I'm trying to learn more about this stuff.
1. I will release final numbers for PCB fab and assembly once I have them. The current designs are between 10-20 chips per board.
2. No
so whats the deal with the price increase? and will I have to cover any future price increases if I order today?
I would like to close out this batch and order another. This batch has already been purchased and is processing. Risk decreases for those purchasing from batch one at a later date, and increases for me. The price increase reflects this.
Once purchased, the rate is locked in, and will not be changed. Any purchases made after the cutoff will be charged the updated rate.
