The fpga dev i talked to is going to build a custom board,

good news for the cryptonote community


sup now john-connor  Grin

EDIT- i remember exactly what you said on #vanillacoin "even a shitty fpga would do it "

this seems a contradiction to me.

We will start accepting donations for CryptoNight FPGA mining from cryptonote community. ( BCN, XMR, AEON, ONEEVILCOIN, REDWIND, TAVOS, INFINIUM8) - cryptonight

I spoke earlier to a fpga coder who is willing to do , so all we need is your support, no matter which cryptonote coin you support, all kinds of donations will be accepted and hold by the respective coin related member ( trusted person ).

All we are asking from the coder is the hashrate/ price of the fpga is equal or better than the gpu's / cpu's.


If you feel you are somehow associated with one of the above stated coins feel free to contact me.


Donation addresses will appear when we have trusted members.


Feel free to express your opinion on this matter.

I am an FPGA developer, please refer to the Vanillacoin project to see my work. For this to succeed the FPGA board would require extremely fast memory, at least a few megabytes. The most popular FPGA mining boards have ~0 megabytes of memory. FPGA boards that do have onboard memory is typically DDR2. As an HDL/Verilog programmer I can tell you that without a custom built board it is not possible to beat a CPU. However with a custom built board you have pipeline issues like any ASIC would have when processing this amount of memory.

Sorry for the bad news. Cool

In my mind this reads a bit funny.

Wow, that's setting an high bar! You're not asking him to provide the source or anything like that, just a simple question!

Put the two things together.  Cheesy

1. I just corrected it before you replied.

2. Will be clarified later today.
