Your site states you’ll do a batch when 500 orders are received.
Wondering where you’re at.  I’ll preorder if it’ll help.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
No the new design will be based on 16nm Xilinx UltraScale+, the most advanced fpga product line in the world. significant performance gain (4-5x) expected, and diversified algo to be supported.
the price will be higher but we try to bring it down to gpu price range. we are still fighting the price with manufacturer..

Thank you for your praise for our miner.
as i explained in Philip's post, we are working hard trying to get the first batch built for early customers,
at the same time, try to launch another enhanced version of fpga miner design in the near future.
I believe transparency and open is the key to success, our goal is to make a community owned project, accessible to every miner.


All good, make sure to keep us updated. even an update that says "nothing new ATM" is good communication. Wink

Can't wait to see the new design, based on the same chip?

If you bulk buy from them get a signed contract before you pay up front. Wink

Was interesting to follow the update process. Got anything new coming up?

I have earned about 180 coins

I took a peak today and see a high reject rate of 25% are you having heating issues with the prototype?

keccak   1   0.1227%   544.3 Mh/s   25%

edit: just jumped to 44 while I was posting this.

keccak   1   0.0829%   339 Mh/s   44.4%

I do like this project, how many more to go before a run is made?




Rejects flux  may be the pool  at the moment I am over 850mh.

room is hot with a lot of gear.

the prototype is not cooled well builder mentioned that to me so I have this fan blowing on it.


https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106140

runs cool enough.

Builder has told me they  are looking for investors.  Ie they don't have much cash.  I told them after all the other fpga  problems  they should consider build a small batch and selling it off.

It is nice gear and does not burn much power.  But no one wants to lay out money and wait months for gear in this market.

I hope they do build a more polished batch and sell it on a  we have it in hand basis.   Maybe offer two ways to buy.

  pay x and wait  for batch 2 (bigger batch)
 Pay x + 50 usd and no waiting for batch 1. (small batch)

I have close to 270 coins .  which are worth  about 8 bucks..    cost to mine under 10 cents a day.  30 watts x 24 hours = 720 watts at 10 cents 7.2 cents a day   270 coins = 7.56 usd  for 48 days of mining.  so $3.60 in power earned $7.56 in coin.

which means it is worth a shot for 1 or 2  not 10 or 20.

Have to say  I am still waiting on my acorn gear from the real company  and I did opt for a refund.

BTW no one has an acorn miner in hand and the fpga's are also slow to arrive.

Thanks for such a detailed update Phil.

yeah after all these FPGA scams and delays these guys just tried to do this at the wrong time.

Still I wish them all the luck in the world, it looks like a fun little piece of kit.

Thanks to your continuous interest in testing our product!
Regarding the production, we are trying to acquire 50-100 of FPGA chips and build a small batch of pre-production boards for early bird customers ASAP. I have to say it is a frustrating process, as the fpga manufacturer is going through a merger with another company which significantly delayed their production plan of this new product line used in our design. Again, we'd rather not selling anything than taking in orders we don't know 100% it will be fulfilled on time.

In the meantime, we are working on another HW design, a performance beefed up version with bunch of features added based on the customer feedback received in the last few months. we will switch to work with a larger fpga manufacturer and currently discussing the design feasibility of features we plan to add to this product. In one or two weeks, we shall be able to release more information. we won't give up until a good product is made!

Interesting topic, wondering if any progress to more algorithms such as ethash, cryptonight, etc?

Thank you for your interest!
The FPGA chip used in our design is from Microsemi's new product line, just start rolling out in Sept. we have been working with microsemi factory trying to improve the product delivery date. keep quite for a while since we don't want to overpromise anything or spread inaccurate information that we couldn't deliver without a clear confirmation from the factory.

on the software side, we are prototyping the bitstream design for Tribus and 1SHA224 algorithms.

Hi, we are still in the process of communication with FPGA supplier on the exact delivery date and price . we want to make sure the 1st batch will be shipped on time before taking in any order.. sorry for the long waiting and thank you all for the patience.
at the same time, we are processing all the survey inputs, and will post some response to our discord channel!

now the latest algo I loaded was pointed to a max coin address of the op.

today I made a max coin wallet and switched to mining for me. My address is below

https://www.nlpool.nl/?address=mZFiNE92BTaBtj1Nj4LgVZJzFd6hCHGirD

this change is easy I just put in a new address in the settings file no flashing

This looks encouraging, know next to nothing about the mining process but it's so fascinating to read about and especially to follow the thread and follow the flow of information.
