Does this include previous pre-orders for a total?  I have an order which I never got an invoice.

BA can still ship any orders directly if they are placed thru me as well. Just put a note on the order you want shipping right from BA (available for non us customers only).

I already ordered through Miner source.net (because of that 10X restriction).
I’m from Europe, is there any advantage in shipment directly from BA ?

Certain regions may be faster, pretty much just personal preference

Just wanted to let you guys know- The restriction on the minimum number of X1s was done for logistics issues, BA can still ship any orders directly if they are placed thru me as well. Just put a note on the order you want shipping right from BA (available for non us customers only).

Also new promotions!

Buy 10 X1, get 1 X1 free!
Buy 10 X3, get 1 X3 free!

I will check on this applying to previous orders, I dont see why it couldn't happen.

How is this promo done I don't see it when I add to cart on your site.

Also since I'm in the US any chance they can send/transfer my order to you? maybe give me a break on the shipping?

I already have a order paid up w/ BA's site.

If you drop them a ticket, they can cancel your order with shipping from them and transfer it to miner for cheaper. As for the promo, I have to manually apply it until I can fix the bug on my site.

When does your buy 10 get one free promotion end?

If we order in groups of two or 3 can we combine to 10 if we get the orders in during the promotion period?

Excellent release. Good to see progress. Decent package size (25x25mm). Do you have an estimated die size? 1 die per package?

Good to see the preliminary datasheets. Does anybody know how close this might make them to tape-out? TIA

Is customer support alive? I send 3 tickets for the orders I've placed two days ago. But never get an answer. When can I expect somebody will take a look?

After taking a quick look at the specs - I have some questions (and recommendations) for the development team:

Do you HAVE TO use a FCBGA and 700 pins? That's quite a pain for troubleshooting and not to mention much more expensive for in the manufacturing process.

If it isn't too late - could you consider a QFN (or[T]QFP or something else non-BGA)?
There are probably way too many duplicate and unnecessary pins - probably with some optimization it will be possible to pick another packaging?
For example - there are 40 pins that provide IOVDD and IOVSS - do you really have to have 40 pins for that? Do they have to deal with that high currents?
Also - blinky stuff and LEDs don't have to have dedicated pins - the host microcontroller can easily deal with the blinking (if at all necessary).
Unless the temperature detector absolutely must have its own separate GNS - why not share IOVSS for example?
etc

And the other question - heat - what are the plans to deal with that?
Is the silicon going to be exposed (BFL-like) where users can attach a proper heatsink? Or is heat going to be dissipated through the PCB? If the second then bitfury-like packaging with a huge pad underneath the chip (and tons of vias on the pcb) will be better than a bunch of balls/pins.

And my apologies if some of that has already been answered.
