I live in Russia and I know that we have problems at the customs for ASIC devices. They are not allowed across the border without certain permits.
Perhaps this will be the same with the FPGA cards
I have a question for you.
you did not think that you can install cards of other people in the same place as your? providing access to the RDP or TeamViewer.
for example at least 8 pieces and Monthly Payment for maintenance costs

Yes, I won't be shipping outside of USA most likely. This is due to export controls on these devices.

I won't be able to provide any sort of hosting option. It's possible for the community to arrange a group buy.

Thank you! I'll keep an eye on your topic, maybe there will be the same questions and we can come up with something.

Definitely interested in both developing for this project and building an FPGA rig.

Got it. Good to know & I'll keep an eye on your progress.

Best of luck with everything!

I guess a lot of people are willing to provide such service for FPGA-rig, but the question is who can you trust.

Gotcha, so are you just selling better priced versions of the VCU1525 by buying bulk chips & putting the boards together yourself?

I apologize for my noobery, just started looking into this yesterday. Either way I'd love to become an active part of the VCU1525 community & share my experience & knowledge once I get there.

I think that FPGA have 70-200 days ROI, is a very good choice.
If available, I'll try to buy one, and consider sell my GPU miner to player.
But it may like ASIC, break the whole market of small coin, and the dev of small coin have no way to reject FPGA because hard fork is useful.
That will be a new nightmare for the dev.

Hi Senseless, if I order a few of these: https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/vcu1525-a.html

Am I good to go with those plus your mining software?

Let me know ASAP because I'm extremely interested. Thanks!

Yes. Exactly.

We are looking into the possibility of developing software. But there are no definite plans to do so at this point.

You'd need to use whitefire's software.

what am I missing

Everything i said in my post


Ok, so it works. Do does mining bitcoin on FPGA. Or on cpu. I think what previous posters and myself were looking for was some demonstration with a multiple of efficiency of GPU mining, since that's been the whole premise of this topic, otherwise it's a waste of time as best/scam at worse.

Those aren't in mass production yet.


You have said in the other thread that you mine using AWS and own a couple FPGAs yourself....  Could you please display them working before you start asking people about money?

Here's one of my VCU118 mining NIST5 with a PCI-E interface. Couple caveats... 1) This board is only 80A 0.85V vccint, so I need to stay under that to keep from frying it. The NIST5 design is operating at a fraction of it's maximum frequency because I can't operate it faster on this board. 2) Never completed / fully optimized nist5 because literally the day I was planning to start mining it baikal started mining it with their x10. 3) The picture says "AWS FPGA" because I use the same software on both.

Excuse the dust, that case was a GPU miner back in 2011. It's the only case I had that was big enough to fit the VCU118 and still put the side on it.

And if you're curious why I named the software SuperMiner 31337, I was getting sick of pool operators getting curious about about my Fpgaminer software version string and superior hashrates. Moral of that story, pool server operators are watching and checking hashrates to try to gain an edge by seeing what's possible.

I'll see if I can make a video at some point showing it working with a monitor.


according to WTM that's about a $0.05/day return

I heard my Baikal is using FPGA not ASIC. True or not true, this has aroused my interest for FPGA and I started to do more research. Unfortunately I had to realize that I lack the necessary knowledge to create something for myself.

I just found this thread. Bang!

Excited how it will continue here.

Keccak is the easiest to setup on an arbitrary FPGA, so on our various test platforms it’s Keccak or CN7, or Ethash but that’s a special multi-device configuration.



Hi give an hasrate idea of result for cn7 or ethash please

@senseless - Yes I’ve got my own RTL and bitstreams - as well as some of my own hardware. I’m pondering your shell/publishing concept,  but I haven’t decided if it makes sense yet. I can see the VCU1525 and derivatives being produced in much greater quantity once there is interest though, and that leads to price reductions and makes it difficult for other options to be competitive.

I am in talks with someone who's in the process of developing a 250-300A vccint version of the VCU1525. It's quite possible that may be the version that ends up getting sold. I would like it to be, but again, it just depends on how things go. I should know more in the next couple of weeks. The price should remain within the same ranges depending on QTY. The 9P is the most mass produced chip, there's no getting around the fact it will be the lowest cost / logic ratio in large quantity.

If you have any questions RE the shell, send me a ping. Would love to hear your feedback and any problems you might have with it.


Keep us posted please.
I'd like to purchase between 1 and 3 units to start with, with the aim of increasing that up to tenfold (if my partners go along with it).
