Hi DaGreatRV,
I would like to ask for your opinion on BFL offer we got today at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223571 .
They are willing to sell us (as GroupBuy) advanced 65 nm chips (4 GH/s per piece) on 100% escrow (John K.), on-time-or-deal-is-off policy.
Is developing and producing mining boards capable of running those chips more challenging than for Avalon's 110 nm ones? Would you be interested? (Avalon boards are surely to stay the top priority.)
Since, I'm refining the deal right now, I can use any suggestions about documentation, sample chips etc. I should require for you/other developers as part of the deal.
Thank you.

To be honest I feel that even the documentation on avalon, the chip and the full system is lacking. But workable non the less, just a bit higher risk.
Those BLF chips sound nice but if there is no documentation whatsoever it's useless to me. I'm not a chinese reverse engineer.
So documentation should come first before anything.
Also, I am and going to spend quite a bit of time and money on this project. And that is not always so easy as I lost my job a while back.
Anyway, I hope the people reading this thread will learn something about designing electronics. And if one of you really likes it, you can offer me a job!
