Thanks! We are on the original track for the demo board development and delivery. we hope more people will sign up once they see the live demo, then we will re-launch the campaign. we believe such a low cost/hobbyist friendly fpga dev board will not only benefit the crypto community, but many other fields as well.

Im surprised so few people signed up for this card on indiego.
Did so many people get burned on previous fpga buys that everyone is now  playing 'the waiting game'?

Thanks!

2/28 Update:
We have placed a order for 10 Xilinx FPGA sample parts to build the first batch of Ultraminer prototype boards! We also received a loaner KCU116 FPGA evaluation board from Xilinx, to be used for algorithm development, design reference and accurate power estimation. We have great work ahead of us!



awesome! right on track  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley

Understood, we are working hard to shorten the pre-sale period and remove most uncertainties beforehand by building the demo prototype boards and sort out the production details.
also we consider launch it on the crowd supply in the future which is a more reliable platform to many customers.
the reason for doing pre-sale, is that we need enough volume to bring down the cost, in order to sell the board at the low price. so we set the goal to the the lowest quantity we can make this economically, if not met, then you will get full refund from the platform.

HI Everyone, Agilmine is back!  Wink

After months of planning and hardworking, We are happy to announce that today we have officially launched the Ultraminer FPGA miner campaign on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo! As some of you may know we are bunch of developers/hobbyists who had previously built a prototype fpga universal miner board named "Agilmine A1" which had already been sent to some forum members for verification. People loved its simplicity, easy setup and power efficiency. This time we are going to upgrade the design with Xilinx UltraScale+ Kintex KU3P which is from Xilinx's top-line 16nm process chip family. This is the highest performed and most power efficient FPGA series you can find in the market. You should expect 1.5-2x performance boost than Agilmine A1 prototype at about the same power consumption (20-25w). That is about 1.5x hash performance than a GPU, at only 1/10 of GPU's power consumption.

Indiegogo pre-order price of UltraMiner FPGA: $399

Please do check out our campaign page and website see if you like to support, or pre-order!
If we didn't meet the goal before campaign ends or we won't deliver, you will receive full refund from Indiegogo.

https://igg.me/at/ultraminer

* Please be noted that since "Crypto" is prohibited on Indiegogo (or any other crowdfunding platforms..). We are only allowed to campaign for a generic FPGA dev board there *
The information regarding cryptocurrency mining, including the estimated hashrate and power consumption can be found on our website page

www.agilmine.com

Estimated hashrate table:


All the mining algorithm bitstream files will be free to download, 0 dev fee, and we will provide some open source design framework to boost the 3rd party algorithm development on ultraminer platform.

Our mission is to make a FPGA miner that is accessible and affordable to every miner/enthusiast/hobbyist in the crypto community, which in our believe would benefit the decentralization and hence the long term prosperity and diversity of cryptocurrency industry.

Our plan is to deliver this board in 3 months! We have already locked down the price terms with Xilinx USA, and arranged the manufacturing factories in China and USA to build this miner for you. If you have specific questions or concerns please do let us know!

Thank you for the time!

We are here to answer questions and concerns. You can reach us via email and on discord as well.

In the current market, I personally think we had better keep suspicious about pre-sale mentioned in the post. Pre-sale means that you who sale UltraMiner pass the risk to us buyers, which smay be irresponsible.

Can you explain why one would choose Net or Net advanced versions? And which alogos will work on each of those?

the Net and Net advanced versions are for FPGA hobbyists and developers we don't plan to develop mining algorithms on them... thanks.

Some good news! We have successfully secured initial fund from a strategic partner to launch the project and build first batch of UltraMiner FPGA prototype boards. We will be sharing the development progress in this thread and in discord channel as well.

Our indiegogo campaign is still going, I strongly encourage you to check it out and support us if possible, remember, we set the fixed goal, so if we don't meet the set goal you will get FULL refund from indiegogo platform.  but we will send special discount to all the early contributors next time when we re-launch the campaign on indiegogo or crowd source once demo boards are made!

for details about the goal refund, please check out this page:

Thanks

congratulations! looking forward to seeing your product develop now Smiley Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Thanks i will look into it

You can update your info chart
Vertcoin has been updated to Lyra2rev3 so it will not work on your FGPA?
on Feb 1 https://medium.com/vertcoin-blog/vertcoin-development-update-january-2019-8dc39f6df210
and will be later updated to Verthash. In order to be  economically mine able by GPU 's ONLY (when no bear market).

Will it work with win 10?

yes we have tested mainly on win 10 PC, but it works also on Mac and Linux. the host sw is easily portable.

The market as it is makes no sense to scam people. Scammers like when everything is too positive like it was in the end of 2017. Scamming people now is like committing suicide.

2/9 Updates:
We are in the process of ordering small quantity of FPGA chips to build a batch of UltraMiner demo boards for testing, verification and early review.

And good news! In order to support our development, Xilinx has offered to loan us UltraScale+ Kintex Evaluation Boards for free! (well, after they declined to give us further discount on the sample parts ordered...) These are $3K+ toys it would be of great help to expedite our bitstream development and testing! Hope we don't burn it!

BUC1525 uses the low power version of VU9P fpga chip, we use KU3P, both are from the same 16nm Ultrascale+ product line, the major difference between is the size. in case of mining the hw resource matters the most is the system logic cell count. BUC1525 is 7 times larger than ours, ideally if fully utilized and optimized it should mine 7 times faster than ours. in reality it is almost impossible to fully optimize a bitstream design with 100% utilization of the fpga hw resource of the size of vu9p, so i bet a lot of waste and underclock going on there. so i estimate probably 5 times faster is more realistic...

do you mean block RAM? i attached this hw spec comparison, hope it helps! thanks



another difference i want to mention is that our board comes with the FREE vivado (bitstream compiler) license from xilinx, so you don't have to pay thousands of dollars to become a mining algorithm developer! we hope this can boost the 3rd party algo development and further benefit the community. we'd be happy to open source some bitstream design to support the process.




what's the difference between bcu1525 ?

how many SRAM on your FPGA?

thanks!

It is referring to Pascallite, sorry will have that updated. thanks.

Regarding the hashrate table, are you referring to PascalCoin or Pascallite?
Because PascalCoin is no longer using Pascal/SHA256d algo.

It might mislead people, thinking your hardware can mine PascalCoin.
