Update:

Pricing information has been released at https://fpga.land/

I've also updated OP with current lyra2z hashrate. We will post more hashrates in the coming days.

Note: we're still working on the website. excuse our mess.

sold out,

Sales haven't opened yet.

Many thanks for all the updates and efforts. Certainly looking for 1 to start with the potential to add more depending upon finances....

Best regards
Paul.

Are you only accepting crypto as payment method or Paypal is also allowed?

Any reason for getting 16gb vs 0gb version? Furthermore, any estimates when these become available for order. I assume getting them to EU will be pain in the ass.

We're shipping to EU customers from inside the EU.

Currently, the only planned use for the DDR4 memory is to store multiple bitstream images used in rapid reconfiguration.

Question, would that mean the FPGA can have multiple algos at one time? Or does one bitstream can only do 1 algo at a time? Is there anyway to do multi-algo profit switching on the fly or does changing bitsreams have to be done manually each time?

1 bitstream can do whatever that bitstream is programmed to do. There is only so much space on the device though and multiple bitstreams can be stored in memory so that other bitstreams can be swapped in. As I understand it, whitefire is planning to use this for X16R.

I believe whitefire mentioned that for X16R, you'll need 2 FPGA, one FPGA does half the function, and other FPGA does other half. So with your 16GB model, does that mean that you can accomplish X16R with only 1 FPGA since it can swap with the built in memory?

Hey,

Please forgive me ignorance, noob. What is so good about 20.48Mh/s for $3K? Is it more to do with the low power? For me personally I get free electricity. Would my money be better spent on a GPU rig?

The real problem with Linux is that a new piece of hardware comes out and it takes 6 months to get the drivers and support.

Ask anyone who got the first RX boards from AMD. We were forced to go the Windows route and endure the nonstop garbage with drivers updates, and Windows updates knocking stuff offline. It is a real pain.

Once you get good drivers and mining software support for Linux there is no doubt that is the place to be, but who has the time to wait around until drivers are available and working and a stable working mining software? It will kill you if you're a miner.

Bummer on CC payments, I was going to try to order multiple units. I know pricing details are not released yet, but can we get a rough ballpark? I would really appreciate it since I need to prepare some BTC/ETH and it'll take a bit of time.

Alternatively, would you release the pricing details and information on your website (fpga.land) before opening peorders? Or would it all happen at the same exact time? I suspect that these would get sold out relatively quick and some preparation would be needed.

On another topic, Linux is an easier OS to mine with than Windows these days. This isn't the 90s where you need to compile things from scratch, and spend hours getting your xfree86 config / video drivers right. It's frankly more useable out of the box than Windows is now. Just grab a CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian iso and put it on a usb thumb drive and learn something new.

So what other pc component will be needed to run fpga? I am not familiar witgh gpu mining...

Well time to learn linux i guess. For all those windows beggars.

Is it still possible to enter the first batch or from your website everything is sold out ?

Quote from: lunobird on June 05, 2018, 01:49:40 AM

Can you please reconsider supporting windows?. The technical barrier and expense to fpga cards is quite high so anything to ease the barrier to entry would be appreciative

If you can insert a CD, press next a couple times, then use a web interface -- you should be good. Aka, if you've ever had an asic miner, you'll be able to use linux with our fpga.

It's interesting to see so much interest in a Windows iteration. I have SO MUCH to learn in Linux still yet is incredibly more reliable for me than windows has ever been.

Speaking of interest, interested to see where this goes Cheesy

All these votes of confidence fill my heart with joy.

I've registered on fpga.land. Eagerly awaiting updates. I'd be ready to order a few cards, provided they are not ultra complicated to get running.

Btw would a "universal" water block (like the EK Thermosphere or VGA Supremacy) fit this card in any way?

Does any one have a good ekwb contact?

There are enough of these that I might commission a nice little full board water block for the crazy amongst us.

Get in touch with them over the website, I guess. They've got a few contact options.
Bearing in mind their stuff is good but not cheap. Wonder if a full board block would be worth it... Do you really need to cool the memory actively on a Xilinx board?

This. I've been thinking the same for the last 4 days.

You don't need to cool the memory, but you do need to cool the power components.

Fair point. Maybe a half-body block then, enough to cover the VRM's etc.

Exactly this - core and power components need cooled to get maximum perf.

Developing for windows is a royal pain in the ass. Look at the bugs in an established program like some of the miners that run on both - Automatic start, watchdog, etc are all an incantation of garbage batch files to to get everything run, with administrator/elevated permissions.
