Man Barntech and guys, the chips are down fast! This is going to be closed in a week!

Good job,

Too bad the chips wont arrive before october with this speed lol

After the Avalon (Yifu) scam, October sounds beautiful (but I hear you). An yes, the difficulty is getting higher, but if we get the boards in late October, they can be profitable for a few months. And who knows how long if the price jumps up.

Yeah I was actually looking at either BFL chips or Avalon before I found out about BitFury and this thread. But i couldn't find any BFL group buys nor did I want to build a board using THAT much power.  And Avalon was too slow but the price was nice until I found out batch #3 was canceled so I scrapped those ideas and went back to looking at FPGA's lol.  And with that difficulty going up I do feel like the price will raise with this.

Hey yes.

Exciting that we're almost there on the chip order. Looking good for this to happen smoothly (fingers crossed). We have been considering a second chip reel, but i just found out the new prices and they have gone up dramatically, so it's not really doable. We are really lucky we got the chips for the price we did. They are around 270% the price now. We would have to put the prices up a lot for a second reel, so probably just sticking to the one. Only 800 to go!
