Can I run a few of these on an Onda or Octominer board without issue, or would I need to build a new system from scratch with different hardware?

Should be no problem, these are independent and don’t really need PCIe, you can link them with qsfp28 cables if needed.

Hello,
I'm really interested with your work on FPGA Mining.

Will 1 FPGA be enough?
Do we need several FPGA, depending on the algorithm used ?

Thanks

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.

Putting my two cents in here, for what it's worth.

I poke around the corners and keep an eye on people who make big claims in this space. I don't always have the time to speak up, but I'll speak up here for David, and David alone.

David is the President and co-founder of Squirrels LLC. He's the gentlemen responsible for eip-969. He built a supercomputer for verifying prime numbers. He's responsible for a lot of big drivers in education like AirParrot and Reflector and a handful of other applications. He is actively working to make technology a part of everyday life in unique and interesting ways.

I can confirm he has a deal with Xilinix. I can confirm he's got the hardware. I can confirm he's got everything he says he has. If he doesn't deliver, I'll hunt him to the ends of the earth. No plane, train, or automobile will keep him safe. Wink

So, for what it's worth, yeah. He's good people(s), securitizones.

Damn, should I take that personally? I realize that my consulting company isn't as big as AirSquirrels. But, ow.

Our FPGA devices will have our encryption keys burned into them and as a result we will be able to distribute secure encrypted bitstreams and software.

Does this mean we cannot run any other software other than what you release on these FPGAs?

No, it doesn't at all. You will be able to run any unencrypted designs (whitefire's for instance) and our encrypted designs.

We will also be creating a platform that would allow any community developer to create and publish designs through our encrypted platform.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Let's say I want to use the board for something else than mining. Would the burned encrypted keys mess with that?
Cheers.

Once we put our encryption keys in you will not be able to use any other encrypted bitstreams other than ours. However, you will still be able to run any unencrypted bitstreams (like whitefire's bitstreams).

From what I understand this is so that others that do not have this key cannot run the proprietary Bitstreams that are released for just this card, it's a intellectual property protection and by buying the card here you get the key to that property (well what bitstreams are released to that key).

Correct me if I'm wrong here Senseless.

Don't get me wrong it's not you or this project I distrust, its anything in cryptocurrency at the moment. I have been scammed before so very wary now. so if you guys are legitimate then I apologize, as I would love you buy these cards, especially if you can put unencrypted bitstreams in them as I want to develop one for lyra2z and lyra2re. I was going to buy the direct cards from Xilinx, but their price has gone up to $4999 already and also would have to mod them myself. So if they are pre-modded and cheaper than $4999 then that is fantastic.

Absolutely, can put any unencrypted bitstreams you want on these. The key being set is really just enablement to give access to other bitstreams/miners that may have otherwise only been private, and a way to encourage more dev participation.

@OhGodAGirl - thanks for the (maybe a bit large) vote of confidence. I’m really not that interesting, either.

I can vouch that @senseless isn’t absconding with any funds here. He may be more apt to speak his mind, but he has put in a lot of work to help get everyone this deal.

How do we know that this is not another scam. You could just take everybody's money and run as there's no address for your company (other than a virtual office) and we don't know who we are dealing with physically.

My company (www.airsquirrels.com) is providing the deal with Xilinx and the shipping/cards.

Hopefully I will actually be able to do a PR with Xilinx to confirm.

AllMine is handling order processing and front end logistics as well as the development shell.

David Stanfill, feel free to email me directly or setup a call if you have any doubts.

Yes if it was escrow i would be ok with that. But previously its been mentioned crypto or paypal. At least paypal has a chargeback, but crypto you send and its gone forever...

I know I wouldn't send funds without escrow, thats pretty basic stuff there.

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

Using SMOS is not a barrier to entry for anyone, even if you've never used linux before. It's actually easier and way less time consuming to set up than a windows mining rig.
