We might take a look at something like that. The minions are interesting chips in a lot of ways. A lot of the basic design is done, so while it wouldn't be a dead simple port like Avalon Gen1 to Gen2, it would be a similar interface and setup to the BFL chips.


EPIC!

I am in! Should we start a tally somewhere to get an idea of how much support there is for this?

Bob, what do you think is a fair price per chip since you are THE first person in line?

I cant really sell the chips at a discount, but I can offer them to be delivered ASAP. I guess I should make the thread now..

Count me in as well.   Cool

I do a simple and rough math.
The unit cost per GH/s of Chili-Minion is about 1/10 of Chili-BFL.
Suppose the difficulty adjust is about 20% rising exponential. (1.2)^x=10, x~=6.
It means the shipment of Chili-Minion board should be within 60 days, or it's hard to break-even assume there's no another BTC/USD surge in the future.

Even so, I still want in Smiley Please reserve 8 Minion chips for me, if MrTeal and ChipGeek would do it.
