I can't commit to pricing before I have decided on a partner for the distribution (DIY vs Kickstarter vs Crowdsupply, they all come with different costs and tradeoffs), but $550 is my target retail price for the Motherboard + Granita + Dev Board + CNC enclosure combo. $450 if you are happy with the Granita Lite board. Everything will be sold separately.

As a comparison, $550 would be 10x to 20x less expensive than what's on the market today for similar bandwidth specs (Aaronia Spectran V6 and Ettus USRP).

This is amazing! I would buy one in this price range. What sort of help/contributions you need/expect from interested users? E.g. financial funding on CrowdSupply, beta testing, feature wishlist, etc.

We need volumes, so the best I can hope for is people join the waitlist and pre-order when we show a functioning prototype. We already placed sizeable orders with the manufacturers and have the first batch planned for September, but further batches are probably going to be delayed into 2024 (we can't start asking for preorders before the product is tested, which is going to take time, so we can't preorder those chips early like we did for the first batch).

Feature wishlist: please! Do send them our way. Especially if it's hardware, this is the right time!
