Lest this implication continue to fester in peoples' brains, I never tried, and certainly never meant, to imply Barntech was at fault here.  Only the BitFury manufacturer!  And apparently I owe them a bit of apology because I didn't know they had separate distributors who don't share an order base.  That's my own fault for not realizing that!

I do hope Drillbit goes ahead with ordering these earlier delivery chips and allows those of us who previously ordered boards or thumbs to move up to that reel for a fair cost.   I'd rather have my existing order earlier than have to put in a completely new order!
