[Cryptech Core] alpha board offers

[Fredrik Thulin]

It seems to me that of the two offers on the table, at least one is way off 
regarding the work estimate. Question is which one, or both.

We have some specific technical questions we can ask the suppliers (thinking 
of what jacob at edamaker.com wrote about Signal Integrity analysis for the DDR3 
part for example (e-mail to core Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:43:17 +0300)).

However, I think the first thing to sort out is how to scope the project. 
Bitsim's offer ends with us having five tested and at least basically 
operational units, while BMOCon's ends with Gerber files.

Since we also have other proposals for doing the PCB layout once we have full 
schematics, maybe the sensible thing to do is to ask the suppliers for a quote 
to take us to that point first, and we'll decide on how to proceed from there.

I think it is preferable to have this discussion on list (I think core is the 
appropriate list for once, but please let me know if you think I should repost 
to tech), but if we need more real time communications I suggest we use the 
conf-chat tomorrow.
