Update
1) We would like to let the project run by contributors. Please mail to jason@bitquan.com to discuss details of pull requests. And if you would like to help us by being our project manager who could maintain both this thread and github repos, please also apply by mailing to jason@bitquan.com so that we could give you payments covering your time and opportunity cost.

2) Our support for contributors besides direct reward are twofold. First, we offer sample chips to the contributors. Second, we are able to manufacture sample boards and system according to the contributors' designs. The average time of making PCB is three working days, while SMT takes only one working day.

3) We offer Bitcoin rewards to contributors who submit significant improvements or new designs. And when the de-facto core developer team emerges, we make it official in the form of continuing salary.

4) The next gen chips, BE300, are likely to be compatible with BE200 with respect to pinouts and package. Therefore all efforts on BE200 based designs are always useful in the long term.
