Re: Will fund ASIC board for mining community. Need Hardware devs.
I just want to say that I find this whole ASIC-Thing very interesting and a great engagement. If I'd be sure that I could get those babies running, I would throw say a thousand bucks in the ring.
As for high initial costs we could open a website which tracks the spendings from each member to the project and then calculate the board price as "sum of expenses / boards delivered".
Then at first only a small amount could be produced (for say 1500$ per unit). Later when a second (equally large) order needs to be placed in china, resulting in a price of 500$ because no more design etc has to be done, the overall price would be 1000$ bucks, which every board would cost then. then the members who payed 1500$ initially would have like 500$ cash-back or discount on further boards. they would practically a board for free.
As I stated above both orders were equally large, so you notice that this calculation makes no sense. but you get the idea, hmm?
