Hash rates estimates would be extremely helpful.
so what's the estimate hashes per card per algorithm?

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.
Excellent, thanks. I think I can handle a web interface. 
Any plans for Windows?
Also, any mods for cooling like whitefire mentioned, or is that unnecessary?

NO, NO WINDOWS, EVER!
Windows has creeped its way into the community for mining and anyone in the know finds that insane. I understand the reasoning for the vegas, due to the driver issues... Other than that one instance, NO ONE should be running windows for mining. Period.
For anyone who's not comfortable with linux, we'll be releasing repo addons for smos and hiveos. For those with the skill to maintain their own linux machines, we will have deb repos.

Registered and very interested in 2+.
I read the whole thread, but still not clear about a couple of things:
1) Will the boards be modded for improved performance in any way?
2) No experience at all with FPGA. Been in IT for a long time and into GPU rig building and mining for a while. Is that enough skill to operate these boards?
Thanks for all of this!

If you're capable of loading a web interface, you can operate these boards. I'm planning a HiveOS and SmOS integration. We'll also provide some deb and cent repos for those who know what they're doing.

Registered. Looking forward to finding out what the final deliverable pricing is actually going to be.

Would putting these cards in a server case with some delta fans be enough to manage the heat?
Will this card version be better in term of cooling performance compared to existing brand card ?
Looks like the account registration link isn't available from the menu. Here's the direct link:

Update: Anyone wishing to develop bitstreams for release to the boards, please contact me via PM. If you haven't already designed a crypto core for fpga, this doesn't apply to you.
Been following the other thread for a while. Registered because I want one of these boards. Will you be taking crypto as payment? What's the expected ETA?
Yes, crypto will be accepted. Expected ETA to launch orders is this week or next.
Currently what is the best setup for this board?
I mostly mine Eth, but do occasionally switch over to RVN. Would this board be better used as accelerator for Eth hash? Or currently could it be used for RVN? Or should I switch coins completely?
Also I have a slot open on board with 1x slot. Would it be better to install the FPGA into the 16x or 1x slot. Current board doesn't have any M2 slot, but if it is worth it, I could upgrade.
Sorry you may have answered these. Just so many FPGA chats and discords, they are starting to blend. I'm currently interested in this one due to pricing and easy of use unlike some of the other boards being released.
I assume this one will come plug and play. No modifications needed?

Go live this week, inc. Crypto.

yeah software for amd cards still needs alot of work, only idiots were expecting 100 mhs in eth we expected 50 to 60mhs we were not too far off. I’m taking a wait and see approach with your gear but the xilink cards in the other thread are 5k with a 3 week leadtime and supposedly easier to program than yours , 2k or 3k with heavy expertise needed is pretty much a wash with 5k and fire and forget
I'm not quite sure I understand. They're the same card.
You can use his software on our card. Our card only requires heavy expertise for people wanting to develop for it. For those wanting to use it, it will be a single command with some flags.
It's the same thing (the other software), and more (our software) for less. I think you're just a little confused on that point.
WHOAH!
I just caught the tail end of this thread but have go a back and read through it all
You're NOT shipping to EU until batch 2??
LAME!

That's been taken care, we're shipping pretty much worldwide batch 1.
Hooray!
