FWIW I've paid for an order of chips and have requested developer chips and reference docs. When I get those I will post the docs here and then send the chips to whichever dev's have the community's support and can put the time into actually producing an actual working board.

*Note - I don't want to hear how this is a stupid purchase. I've done my risk assessment and think this is a good commercial opportunity. If you disagree with that then please keep it to yourself.

flowdab, you took quite a risk, but it could pay off.

Until developers have sample chips/documentation and are sure they can design a working board (or at least one of the lead developers is) it's too risky for the majority of potential group buyers (including myself).

We'll see pretty soon whether BFL is really willing to deliver sample chips/docs or it was just marketing move to sell as much useless chips as possible. Speaking of useless chips...

.......
I am worried that BFL is going to send us the defunct lot they are using right now instead of the brand new lot that will be baked at the Fab. I don't want yesterdays revision that has caused so many problems (let them deal with those). I want the latest revision fresh from the Fab.
......
Could you get in contact with BFL and clarify this point?

Although we should be able to find out what revision and quality the chips are during random hash test (prior to escrow release), this is still a very important matter to look into. Thank you for pointing this out. Let you know as soon as there is some reply from BFL.

Credit program will be incorporated into the group buy?

I didn't discuss credit program options with Josh yet, but it should be incorporated. I see no obstacles there.

Thank you for the support guys. Stay tuned.

Well transfering credits should be no problem.
