Board assembly will be offered. Prices tentatively set at below $60.00.

Just to clarify-

Does this cover the cost of everything besides the chips to have a functioning board?

If so that is great news. I was budgeting closer to $100 per board, looks like I'll be buying more chips...

Earlier he said it wouldn't cover hardware, like fan, standoff, psu.

Cp1 is correct. This only covers the PCB, components (other than the ASICs), and assembly.

Additionally, these chips will be processed in a FIFO cue, which will begin once the minimum board run quota has been reached.

Strongly considering sending you chips from other group buys, are you able to specify the minimum board run quota?

Currently it is 400 boards, pending confirmation with the assembly house.

Which part was updated today?

This, I believe:

Quote

Chip purchase: BTC.086 per chip
PCB and components: $35 per 16 chip board
Assembly: $60 per 16 chip board
Testing: Price TBD. Testing will be available, with pricing determined once the procedure has been finalized.
Hosting: 8% flat fee based on miner production, plus electricity.

Correct, among other things. The date has been fixed. Apologies.

PCB and components: $35 + Assembly: $60 = $95. How do we pay for this? USD direct to assembler or play the BTC to USD game and hope for an 'up value BTC' day?

If steamboat is willing to convert BTC to USD that would be great, BUT I question the amount of 'lube' that will be needed when the IRS takes him in the 'back room'. Anyone have ideas on how to do this 'smoothly' ?

This is something I have been working on, and one of the reasons payment is not an option at this time. I should have more information in the coming week. As a person, my position is extremely bullish, and I believe the price will go up, resulting in cheaper boards if kept in BTC. As a business, I have to do what's most responsible and mitigate the risk of BTC dropping in value and being left with the bill. Once I have ironed out the payment details, I will let you know.

Hey steamboat,
i'm considering 'doubling down' on my order.
1st order was batch 2.
2nd order may be batch 3.
Just wanted to know an estimated time in weeks between completed boards from batch 2 and completed boards from batch 3.
I would likely go ahead with another 12 boards if it looks like being a shortish period of time.
Thanks
Adam

10 days between batches 1 and 2, 11 days between 2 and 3.

I just used an existing address that I could sign from instead of the "sending address" off blockchain.info. Technically, a Bitcoin transaction doesn't really have a sending address. It's just easier to understand it that way.

Please do not do this. The sending address from the TX is what is used to verify the signature.

All purchases received, recorded, replied. Batch 3 about finished, and a couple large investors have shown interest in the next batch.
