Use Bitcoins I dont see why you would ever use a bank wire. Anyway, I just paid for my X3, direct from BA. Fingers crossed.
Im gambling here but as long as we get these before May 1st, I think its probably worth the risk, depends on how much $6k is to you though.
Im guessing the first batch will be sold out this or next week, and hopefully that presses the "go" switch on the 28nm tapeout.
cause they use btc-e to calculate the price off btc. i sold off 2 btc to pay for the 10 i ordered. if i had payed with btc directly it would have cost me 3.49btc...
